    If we get promoted do the loanees come back?
    If we don't can they stay on loan or can we sell them?

    Harrison, Sinisterra, Roca, Wober and Llorente have loan clauses re-activated next season if we don't go up so there will be no money coming in for those players. Maybe a small loan fee if anything. Not sure we are getting £200 million for Summerville, Gnonto and Rutter. We might get 60-80 million if we are lucky.

    Justin Thomas and his pals will be pleased at their investment

    Maybe they are not in for a quip flip?
    It's an investment, patience is needed, something us fans do not have much of.

    Yep, can’t see them being in any hurry to sell. What those sports stars have thrown in the pot is loose change to them. Doubt many of them wake up in bad form after a defeat

    True that could happen but why would players want to be on loan again with their contracts running down ?

    More likely is Sinisterra, Harrison, Woba & Roca will be asking their agents for a permanent transfer so they can feel settled with new 4 or 5 year deals without having the thought of a return to Leeds at some point hanging over them.

    Why would a player run his contract down? Go and sit on the naughty step and think about it.

    Still think that most players enjoy the financial security of a long term deal and most of them have young kids so want to keep the missus happy by staying in one place....

    it's not Leeds by the way.

    You’ve got to wonder why we seem to be playing so many players out of position yet again. Archie skinned yesterday and was obvious from first few minutes he couldn’t handle Millar. DJ playing wrong side of defence. Prior is a great finisher as a centre forward and has proven it but won’t be allowed play there. Georginho has many attributes, finishing is not one. Gnonto is a busted flush and the idea of introducing him Bamford Joseph to turn a game around won’t work. Lots of bad decisions it seems from coaching staff

    I'll disagree slightly on Gnonto. Every good game he played for us was on the left wing. He is ineffective on the right. The issue is of course at present he isn't going to replace Summerville.

    It's why I was surprised that when Gnonto came on, James switched to the left, so Gnonto could go on the right.

    Maybe due to all the pre season issues, it's not going to work out, but I'd still like to see him tried on the left, when he comes on as a sub
