He’s made over 100 appearances so far in his career, either in the Championship or Premiership. Never played below that, which isn’t bad for someone who apparently isn’t good enough for that level.

He’s barely played full stop at either level as he hasn’t been able to convince anyone he’s good enough. The lads 24 and had 42 league starts in his whole career.

He’s made 115 appearances but the age of 24, and that includes last season when he was out a lot through injury. That’s not barely played.

He’s not very good mate and yes injury prone, just good squad cover. I’ve seen him play enough and have an office full of Leeds season ticket holders. In about a month when he’s racking up the 5 minute appearances off the bench, I’ll be genuinely interested to hear your view.

You go on the tweets and they are full of praise from weeds fans saying how he always gave 100% for the club and that every time he fought back and broke into the team, he was unfortunate enough to find himself injured again.

I will take the comments on face value as they don't appear isolated, I do however worry about the injury record..... but, keep him fit and hope for the best.

Granted he is 24 but it will be interesting to see how many appearances/starts some of our U23s have had in a few seasons time. He will be a good squad player and definitely be needed at some point during the season

He’s only really missed parts of this season through injury. For at least the two seasons before that he wasn’t injured at all. What exactly makes him injury prone?

What injuries has he had by the way? I couldn’t find specifics on that.

Good squad cover is fine. Every club needs players like that. You said he wasn’t good enough for the Championship though, which is demonstrably untrue.

Some of them will play but only because our squad is crap. Like Brooks last season
 
Everyone going with the Osborn comparison. Has a bit of a Regan Slater about him. Think he will cover RB/RWB but hope we see him in the middle with Hamer and Arblaster.

lol, mate. No.
 

I am going to go all in and get excited about every signing.

Not everyone will work, but changing clubs sometimes is the making of a player (and vice versa) so I will back all our signings and let's see how they perform at BDTBL.
 
That’s fine, but we need one of these every day now, to get the numbers up again, so they can have a reasonable pre season.

"Where we meeting up tonight? Regan's?"

"Yeah, see you in Regan's later."
 
Looked decent today, did remind me of an Osborn type but better.

His whole family were sat behind us and enjoyed him being on the pitch 😆 (gfs lovely) 😉
 
Thought he looked very good today. His work rate and how quickly he does things was the positive. Can he do this against championship players?

I can see why Leeds fans would like him.
