Finn balor Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Don't know how to get the link but there is a good column on sky sports asking how good he is and comments from former managers. Apparently he is a top pro and all round great lad. Leeds would only be entitled to a development fee at tribunal so £3 mill or so should be enough unless there is a bidding war then it's up to the lad Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get it done. We need a RB. It's insane that we haven't brought one in long before this situation arose seeing as Hibbert was the back-up to Coleman.

It's insane that we haven't brought one in long before this situation arose seeing as Hibbert was the back-up to Coleman. It's been about 3 years, since it's been needed, lets be honest. Since Martinez got here, Hibbert should have gone but he wanted to keep him because he was a local lad (fair enough), should have given him a coaching role or something.

johnh Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I grew up in Essex and I go back in a heartbeat! Yes, it was a tad unfair. I have been to some really nice places in Essex. I was thinking more about the places I played football against. Grays, Tilbury, Dagenham. - need I say more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Can see a bidding war. A lot of clubs will be after him. I'll be a low level bidding war though with only a few months on his contract, nobody will offer daft money. It'll be down to which club sells themselves best to the player imo, the fee will be (relative) peanuts. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Sounds a promising player from what I've read I've never seen the lad play tbh but if he's as good as forums/reports suggest and he does come Martinez is slowly building a potentially great young side markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I hope we get him and he gets first team minutes fairly quickly. Notwithstanding Howard's Motm performance yesterday, I still think we need a new 'keeper. But f we can keep Stones, Rom, Ross etc then a real top quality side with strength in depth is slowly developing. A N Other/Robles Byram/Coleman Stones/Browning. Jags/Mori/Galloway. Baines/Garbutt McCarthy/Gibson/Ledson. Besic/Barry Geri/Lennon. Barkley/Yarmolenko.

Guest rusty747 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I know nothing about him. What's the story?There's a bit of the 'Gary Stevens' about the lad. Solid defender, great engine, good athlete, loves to get forward and is as good as a winger when he does get forward. Good shot on him too. Just as importantly, I believe he is a decent, down to earth lad who will fit right in. Edited January 14, 2016 by rusty747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as importantly, I believe he is a decent, down to earth lad who will fit right in. Would agree with everything except 'solid defender'. That is his weakness. Loses his man, mis-times tackles, picks up yellow's. In his last game, he was offside 4 times in the second-half. Someone needs to teach him the offside laws.

Lowensda Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Be pleased with this. Always been held in high regards, looks promising, can create, defend and score. Whats not to like. Hope for that money, it comes off, as you won't find prices like that for much longer, irrelevant of contract situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
