Extremely happy Leeds fan this morning as we all should be . Tremendous team performance yesterday against what are still a very well drilled side . There were some obvious stand outs but I will pick out Stuarty who was absolutely everywhere with his tackles, dribbles and shots .
Very unlucky not to score . He looks every inch a premier league player to me . Feeling more and more confident that we will comfortably survive this season . My gut feeling is we will sign Cuisance as our box to boxer and Kent as our ten / winger . If so it's a tremendous window all things considered.
My ideal preferences of the players we were linked with would have been spending our money on just 3 : Watkins, De Paul and White . But ultimately the latter two have proven priced out of the market and we will end up with Koch and Llorente for the price of White and hopefully Cuisance and Kent for the price of De Paul .
I still have strong reservations about Rodrigo . Just don't think he will score the necessary goals but I guess as long as he contributes and Bam keeps scoring it will do . I actually think the best striker on our books will end up being Joffy .
If I'm being picky I think if we really want to tear up the league we need better full backs defensively . I like Ayling but he looks vulnerable against runners and has been caught out a few times already trying to do too much dribbling in our own half . The the fall backs will however, need to wait until next Summer .
Final point on Tyler . He was the obvious disappointment yesterday and hasn't actually been at it since we came back from lockdown. However, I see no point in selling him . Championship teams have no money to buy players . So what will we get for him?
May be £4/5m tops which with our new budget is a drop in the ocean . I still think there's a player there and if anyone can find him consistently, MB can . No point selling and I wouldn't loan him out either .

On the button RHC. got to doff my cap at Wilder, apart from his interviews, he’s done a right job to make that Sheff Utd team what they are, and is quite clearly a good coach. Mb, and what he’s done tho, well, he is a Demi God!
