Good Morning Everyone Noel Whelan has suggested Izzy Brown has been frozen out at Leeds United because “something has happened on the training ground”. "Something there is not quite right,” Whelan said. “I’ve seen Brown when he was on loan at Huddersfield and Rotherham, and he is an excellent player. “To come from a Premier League club like Chelsea, he would have expected to play a lot of games. He is fully fit now and has been for most of the last two months. “Maybe it’s his attitude or something has happened on the training ground at Thorp Arch. The manager just feels he has better options at the moment, but there’s no doubt Brown will be hurting.” Brown can only neat whose in front of him, and to me he has shown his credentials for the U23's. He ripped Leeds apart two seasons ago when he was playing for Huddersfield. I don't care if Brown has been getting jiggy with Mrs Bielsa, fine him - don't let the club suffer when we are so close! Leeds wil find out today the extent of Hernandez's injury. The 33yo playmaker left St Andrews in a protective cast. The club maintain it is a precautionary measure. We will find out today after tests are concluded. Jack Harrison managed only 19 touches in 45 minutes at St Andrews. No shots, no chances, and made only 10 passes. No wonder Bielsa subbed him at half time. Motherwell youngster Stuart McKinstry and Reading midfielder John Swift are both rumoured to have sealed deals to join Leeds in the Summer. Leeds have parted with £400,000 to bring 16yo McKinley to Elland Road, beating off strong competition from Southampton. Swift is a product from the Chelsea academy, who dropped down a tier in the hope for more game time three seasons ago The box to box former England U21 player (23yo) has scored 4 goals this season. Fees between Leeds and the Royals have been agreed.
Good Morning Matt & everyone Izzy Brown My pals who often watch the U23's tell me Brown is lazy, slow & sluggish A pointless costly signing Pablo Doesn't look good, this was my main fear going into our final games. Fingers crossed Jack Harrison He's hopeless, hope we don't waste more dosh on him in the summer. Shackleton should be playing in that position ! Motherwell youngster Stuart McKinstry and Reading midfielder John Swift are both rumoured to have sealed deals to join Leeds in the Summer Never heard of them so can't comment
Morning all. Only thing Im interested in today id news of Pablo. I said before Saturdays game, our season hinged on him staying fit. I wont change my mind on that
Morning all Have kept off-line since Saturday because knew it would be carnage on social media. When you keeper gets MOM you know how bad it could have been, so top display from Kiko and a less than top display at the other end with PB missing sitters again? Oh well we will just have do it the hard way...... The McKinstry move has been on and off for weeks now as he was wanted by countless English clubs as well as rangers/Celtic. Sounds like Orta has pulled it off yet again and a new wonderkid will joins our ranks very soon. He joins on a 6 month scholarship up to September when he's 17 and then has a 3 year contract. The Swift deal I've not heard about but if its true that Bielsa wants him, then ok, but another ex Chelsea player fills me with dread. The Izzy Brown argument from my perspective: He's fit, he's powerful and he's very very quick. He can look lazy but so too did some of our greatest players, but he gets up and down the pitch and can make breaks from inside his own defence right into the heart of the opposition box before his team mates catch up to him. He is the 2nd highest scorer in the U23s and is a valued member of that side and I have seen nothing untoward on he pitch. But yes somethings wrong because he's gone from being on the bench and playing 120 minutes in the U23s cup to not being picked for the U23s last game and not on the bench as expected. he hasn't played the number of U23 games many of the players have but has a better scoring ratio that Edmondson and Izzy is playing midfield or wide?
Morning All, I can't remember who was taken off when Izzy came on for a few minutes and did his kamikaze act, can anyone let me know?
Some good news. The 34 guys in west of Ireland supporters club Im travelling with all got tickets this morning. Delighted for them as they put in a huge effort several times a season and have done for many many years
So Izzy Brown and Pablo Hernandez have the same best preferred position, No10. I suppose if Pablo is fit then Izzy doesn't really get a look in, perhaps? I still can't understand how he doesn't make the bench though?
Its something clearly behind the scenes and we wont hear anything till he shags off in the summer if even then. Remember when we couldnt figure out why Saiz was loaned out
No I can understand why Saiz went. I just can't get my limited brain around why Izzy doesn't get a look in. He scores at U23 he provides assists but ...... and he was good at the dogs. All I can think is he goes about his trade in a slightly lethargic style. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he should be playing it's ... well why the hell are we paying whatever we are paying to keep him in baked beans if we aren't going to use him. Even at this stage we could send him back and provide a perfectly good house to somebody for free and still be no worse off!
Logged in at nine the same time as my youngest, he was on in a min I was 40 mins. Anyway, he got his two in the SS, my eldest got our three in the NE and I have two spare for the East L42. Now I have Davys one(if he still wants one and another one beside him. £35 each after concession.
