Feels a bit Collins and Rahic when they were desperate to get into bed with Huddersfield when they were a prem side.

it works if you get good players, O’Brien from Huddersfield for example but it’s when you get palmed off with 3 or 4 who are not ready for first team football but they have been sent here to get men’s football. Then we are onto a loss

 

The trouble is with young loans and probably older ones as well is they are often bit players with a few minutes here and there. Players sometimes need games and a bit of time to show what they can do

 

I genuinely don’t consider them a rival. As you say, more just a bit of light hearted, local geographical banter. Not to over look certain events of the past, but let’s face it every club has probably experienced the same with Leeds fans at some point.

I’m going to get shot down here - but I enjoy watching them at the moment and always keep an eye for their result. The style of football Bielsa has them playing could really bring through some great young talent if the set up is working through youth level. This is only beneficial to a club in our position right now, let’s be honest.

News of us working with them in this way makes sense for all parties. If it produces the next Josh Cullen or Reece Burke I suspect no one will complain.

 

Its common sense, but its a crucial element of developing your own talent. If you're asking a youngster to step into the first team, they're already dealing with a step up in quality. But it gives them a much better chance of success of the nature of their role and the approach of the team is consistent with what they're used to.

 

German football is the same. The academy players of the bigger teams are all told to play the same system as the national team so I heard.

 

Payne was absolute quality - for 6 months. Then turned to crap.....

I did like him when he was on it though.

 

Fake news. You're just overly dramatic/sensitive.

Keep saying it and more people may believe you....

 

Desire.

 

Not quite the level we've seen over here yet.

 

I also see that Huddersfield and Barnsley are mentioned....maybe players coming in from either of those clubs too?

 

Are Barnsley good enough to loan us decent youngsters? Aren't the last two we signed from them DMH and Patrick?

The lads coming from Leeds have been good quality; that's the important thing.

 

Dont forget George Miller.

 

No reason we can’t both march on together. Good for both parties.

 

What's up with Edmonson. Says that deal looks unlikely. Where's he headed?

 

Northampton

 

League One, probably Northampton.

 

*pukes*

 

They must have some other strikers who they want to send out on loan. Looking at their Academy results, they seem to score goals (same gameplan as the first team it seems), but as I keep banging on about, it's whether or not they can do it in the mens game that's the thing.
