Watmore struggled to complete a game with his high energy performances and was a real impact whenever he came on as a sub. I always felt Greenwood could have had the same impact on games but he never had the mentality / mindset to go with it.Agree with that assessment. Strange attitude and disappeared too long in games for my liking.
I doubt they’d pay the wages unless heavily subsidised by Leeds.The correct decision and one I reckon was made a few weeks ago.
There were a couple of times when it looked like he spat his dummy out when played in a different position which I'm sure wouldn't have gone down well.
Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at Sunderland next season.
As the Yorkshire Terrier said, Sunderland would be a good fit.Lot of nonsense talked about his wages. That's his Leeds contract, not the one he'll get at his next club.
What were his wages anyway?
He's done ok, no more, for a team wanting to improve he's not the answer on current evidence, though he might go on to score 20 next year and the board will be full of people saying we should have signed him.
I can see Preston, Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff etc sniffing around.
He would need to get off to a good start or the Sunderland fans would be on his back for the betrayal of celebrating when he scored against them for us .As the Yorkshire Terrier said, Sunderland would be a good fit.
For the vast majority of players I think there is an awful lot of luck involved in how far they progress in the game.I think there is a player in there somewhere, but then again I though the same with Marcus Browne a few years ago.
Not sure we have the time or space for another project player for this cost.
i wish him well though.
Not pursuing O'Brien is more of a concern. Thought he did really well considering he was coming back from a pretty serious injury.
Perhaps the performance of Law McCabe may have played into that? Perhaps Hackney has given a commitment? I liked O'Brien and thought he did well after being initially unimpressive.Not pursuing O'Brien is more of a concern. Thought he did really well considering he was coming back from a pretty serious injury.
I think that's it, he'd want to be first choice (and paid at that rate), same with Greenwood probably (and maybe even Thomas). Decent squad players but better value out there.I quite like O'Brien, and would have him here if the money was right.
However, he's not a guarenteed starter, and probably isn't in our 1st choice 11.
If the club feel they can get someone who would be for equivalent money, I understand the decision.
Nothing against Howson at at, but we know he's not going to be around too much longer. I would think that CM sport is one of our main priorities this Summer.
