Ok acquaintances!!

[tim-sanchez]

Starts again today against QPR, just gave away a penalty though...

[glagys]

Could also be in the frame on Friday night as Douglas is injured

[jbc.shrimp]

With him being only 18, are there any automatic add on's such as sell on clause ?

[redrobo]

Anybody know if and when the extra payments after appearances kick in, 'cause we could do with some cash towards our transfer kitty....

[marky No.1]

Half the board i would think

What happened to the Oswell transfer kitty , surely it would have gone a long way towards a loan payment for someone.

Loan payment for Bennett but I understood that JB was talking about a permanent deal for someone.

Or has the money been put into club funds for another rainy day....

Pays the losses for 5 weeks

Sure Jim said on the OWS with the sale of Oswell that he couldnt promise him first team football and that the transfer fee received could bring in a couple of players.

1st player paid for with the Transfer fee received
2nd player paid for with the money Oswell was getting anyway.

And he couldn't even got near the shrimps bench ??
Shows what a keen eye Jim had at talent spotting

[Freez]

TBF, he was in view of the first team, but we were a bit like now, in turmoil and desperately in need of points.
That was what I was told anyhow!!

But that's the some fans have been saying,try the young lads who are hungry, and want to prove a point

[Little Shrimp]

I’m all for blooding youngsters and do wonder if we should given Davis a run seeing him in the team at Leeds, but that has somewhat been due to circumstance.

He was 4th/5th choice last season for left back - he started because Douglas, Alioski and Dallas were all injured. And if Berardi had been fit, Ayling would probably be out at LB with Berardi at RB.

He’s made the most of his opportunities and Bielsa likes him apparently, but it’s a bit like if we suddenly had Conlan, Cranston, Tanner and Buxton all injured.

Not good enough for league 2.... hope we got some good add ons.

What Kalvin Phillips had to say :-

He believes versatile young star Leif Davis is the man most capable of breaking into the XI. Davis, signed from Morecambe in the summer Bielsa himself arrived, is well trusted by the Argentine.

However, Phillips reckons if the 20-year-old settles down and gets his head screwed on, he can become a regular.

Speaking about Davis in particular, Phillips explained why he rates the youngster so highly.

“One of the players we haven’t seen much of yet, but we will get to see is, in the future definitely, Leif Davis.

“He’s that good of a player. If he just settled down a little bit and screwed his head on a little bit he’d be up there as one of the best left-backs, left midfielders, centre-halves we’ve got.”


Let’s hope we did have a extra payment clause written in

[Freez]

The key sentence there is “screws his head on”, as that was his issue in the Academy.
Loose cannon at times apparently, both on the pitch, and off it!

[glagys]

Yep agreed freez,
we all know players who went off the rails and also the ones who said they needed the manager to sort them out,
Souness being one of those that need calming down when at Middlesbrough
