Interesting to see Leeds recruitment policy of picking up the best youth at substantial cost.
Two are making their debuts today in the Cup
Greenwood - from Arsenal £1.5m
Bate - from Chelsea £1.5m
Their reserve team last year was packed with signings like this - no surprise they won the league at a canter.
(though 2nd bottom this year in a tougher League).
Suppose it seems like a decent strategy.
BUT Million dollar question - will they step up?
If these players are so good why are top clubs releasing them?
Personally I hope it goes horribly wrong because it's Leeds.
Noticed along with Balagoun Arsenal's next big thing up front was John-Jules who doesn't seem to be ripping things up at Blackpool this year.
Suppose Blackpool are blessed with a decent choice of attackers up front?
