Well it looks like the ball is rolling. White and Harrison had their medicals and Costa and Mujica due in this week. Costa and Harrison will go straight into first team White should as well as think he is good enough. Mujica i do not know much about but assume he will go into U23s. A couple of other names being bandied about, McCarron, McKinstry. Jc may be back on loan, my thinking is if they are gone they are gone, not sure a loan back will benefit either party.
At least we are moving early although youth seems to be forefront again. Would like another with some experience and grit.

White and Harrison both announced, good moves both for me. Some more talent coming in for the under 23s but fast track options possible for Mujica and McCarron possibly. J C back for a year makes sense to me, both sides know each other well. He needs a good preseason and to concentrate on the physical side of his development and he still has a lot to prove. He will want to show Spurs what he can do, no brainier really for me in these circumstances.

Sorry but for me JC would be better staying at his new club, bonding with players and getting to know style of play and improve his fitness. Bubs went for Harrison all season long so i can see games being hard to come by, excellent to have on the bench but so would Shacks Macalmont and Edmonson and Stevens as i can not see 4 youngs ones being on the bench he will be holding some one else back.
He is a talent no doubt and it is good for us to have him in the squad but we know he will be gone next May, not like we have an option to buy. Also the lad will be devastated when he helps us go up then has to back to Spurs.

I suspect the loan has been done on the basis that he will not get much of a look in at Spurs this season. It is really one for the future. If he is Leeds thru and thru, he has a chance to help take us up. I honestly think it is good discipline for him. I wonder if there is a return clause in the loan. He needs to show what he can do across the season and build up his resilience. Spurs are a top 6 premiership side, he has a lot to do! I think he can make a big contribution for us this year. A lot is expected of Bielsas wingers, he possibly realises now that he needs more options throughout the year!
