Don't know if I'm on my own with this but I'd sign the young keeper up full time because his values going to rise if his parent club see him playing like last night. Don't know if the fee is already agreed but I reckon he could end up been the first choice French international keeper in about 5 yrs.
07 Jan 2020 08:08:33
I agree and I’d play him before Casilla.
07 Jan 2020 08:11:46
Agree martyn, get him signed up, only going to improve and his price will go up.
07 Jan 2020 08:34:30
Got to agree. Got down really well for a big lad, looked composed and even better than Casilla with his feet. I'm not particularly worried about a possible Kiko ban any more.
07 Jan 2020 08:42:58
Yep, another in agreement here. Bloody good scouting from someone to unearth such a composed 19yo young man.
I was watching on the BBC and the co-commentator mentioned the amazing accuracy of our keepers distribution. It was laser-accurate out to each wingback time and time again. He then pulls of a great save. What a debut. That should give him a huge amount of confidence going forward
I agree, he should be signed up now. He has proved he is good enough, plus that will free up another loan position in future match day squads. go get some decent loanees for the run in.

i agree 100% great young keeper. wouldn't play him ahead of Kiko MOTM cassia just yet though. good shot stopper, good distirbution. only difference between him and kiko and is kiko helps more with crosses. he knows we are useless so gets involved which sometimes helps and sometimes makes him look bad. last night keeper stayed on his line. let us lose the ball as we do and then looked like he wanted to stop the header as a save. which is riksy but makes him look better than kiko.
07 Jan 2020 09:03:02
Fee agreed I believe about £3m.
07 Jan 2020 09:12:54
Just double checked . £4.5 m apparently . On that showing a steal . And he’s saved several pens for the under 23’s .
07 Jan 2020 09:15:41
Totally agree guys, I hope he gets a run so we can see more .
07 Jan 2020 09:34:53
Totally in agreement.
07 Jan 2020 12:07:56
£4.5m - absolute bargain then
He’s only 19, will makes mistakes as he’s not at his peak for 10 years so his easy on the lad
Hopefully another loan deal with option to buy at end
Harrison looks better and better value too
Not so sure about costa 🙈
Overall Victor isn’t doing too bad a job is he?
Stevens looks a decent player ( ignore his first pass )
We can produce our own talent too
Great to see Phillips and Gotts playing so well against supposedly better players
This can be an exciting next decade
MOT.

Like him a lot was linked with Chelsea and Monaco not too long ago, the option to buy must be exercised, lot of sentiments above i agree with, excellent with the ball at his feet, lovely distribution and gets down very quickly for 6'5. His height would be a bonus in situations like West brom- would surely have come and claimed the ball for their goal.
If Kiko gets a ban deserves the shot to start over the minimum 6 games, don't need to go out and get someone else to cover.
07 Jan 2020 12:11:09
Showed a lot of promise in U23 performances and he just transferred that to the big stage. Would buy him now. Looked composed and the amount of times the players passed it back to him shows the faith they had in him. His distribution was spot on as well.
07 Jan 2020 12:38:54
We will now see rads true colours if he dint buy for 4.5 million he dint have Leeds best interests at heart can you imagine another champ team having him and not buying at that price?
07 Jan 2020 14:19:16
BW we have already seen Radz true colours for the past 3 to 4 transfer windows . He ain't good.
07 Jan 2020 14:22:09
Martyn, AGREED he should go straight in to the first team and be the first on MB team sheet and Be on Radz list for one to sign., I hope he doesn’t let this one slip.
07 Jan 2020 15:25:56
Messlier came to us highly rated and has done well so far but i hardly think you can call for him to be instantly in the first team based on one showing. At 19 he is bound to have mistakes in him and I would imagine if he plays more games there will soon be people hounding him out of the club and crucifying him for his mistakes. I think introducing him gradually might be more prudent but I would like to see us acquire him and I think he could be great in future.
07 Jan 2020 17:09:04
agree alf and bazooka on all counts.
07 Jan 2020 20:37:55
Agree. Actually thought it was already pretty much a done deal already. Loan, with agreement to buy. He’d already proved himself for me in the 23’s to be honest! But the last night cemented it!
08 Jan 2020 19:05:45
Promotion gives us the wriggle room with finances and rids us of the constraints of FFP so these lads on loan with an option to buy is quite savvy business
If we don’t go up I doubt we can buy them without selling
So let’s finish the job.
