Thought on young Sam Greenwood

[Borotommo]

Hard to say how anyone will be following a move, time to settle in, see how they slot in to our style. O’Brien looks the most promising of this weeks intake, Greenwood has attributes and it has to be a watching brief. I don’t see him starting many games but maybe gets a good few opportunities from the bench. If that is the case Carrick will need to find the right balance of minutes to give him opportunity. I can see him starting v Bradford.

The bit I’m wondering now is where does Crooks slot in when fit?

Crooks is a club man, a top pro (from what I can see) and doesn’t rattle cages. He scores goals, now and again, off the bench, and his new deal won’t be costing the club a fortune.
good squad member.

Anyone who is good at set pieces, corners especially , will get a place in our side.

I agree, I meant purely in terms of position.

Don’t think he’s first XI material. He’s proven he can be reasonably versatile.

I wouldn't expect an akpom replacement until 2099 if my maths is correct. Even that date is unlikely as there are worries nobby's notebook won't still be running.

Interview was dreadful.. looked sick as a chip and bored

Couldn't agree more. I thought players had media training these days??? Not a great first impression. The other signing came across much better.

Swinging on his chair like a irritated teenager.. only thing missing was a "rolling of the eyes"

Leeds fans view;

Decent left foot
Good at set pieces and crossing
Reasonably steady
Hard to say as not really got a look in for them in the PL
Not going to win you the league

I thought he was right footed.

I wonder why the club signed off on that, normally they just do one on one interviews with the media guy rather than actual journalists.

Just looked like a typical 21 year old being spoken to by blokes who are 40+

You can tell O’Brien is much more experienced with the way he handled some of the questions.

Looks like he couldn’t be assed in that interview. Hopefully he applies himself more when he puts his boots on.

He could be on the spectrum, ADHD maybe, I'd be fidgeting like a jack rabbit if I was made to sit in that chair being made to talk to journo.

He’s genuinely both footed

He's 21 ! Give him a break.

Swinging on his chair like he was back in school. Embarrassing

 

[Diego]

Dear me. Was clearly nervous. Has a touch of the Aaron Connolly about it this, wrote him off before he’s kicked a ball.

 

[GibbosEmpire]

Genuinely F***ing hate that just because he's swinging in the chair some people written him off, or somehow he's like a child, you have absolutely no idea who he is or why he was doing it, there might be a reason, F***ing grow up and let's see what he does on the pitch.

Not sure anyone is writing him off. Just saying his interview was less than impressive

He’s not here to be judged on opening interviews. Let’s see him play football first

He’s in the public eye, he’s going to be judged for everything he does
