Does anyone know when he may break into the Leeds first team ? - heard alot of good things about the lad , and wondered if it was time Blackwell brought him into the reckoning !

Good question! does any-one know if he's good enough to be first team keeper? I know we've done well with keepers over the years, so hopefully he could be another good un!

I'm not too sure to be honest! I think it depends on the signings KB can make. At the moment we should finish in the top 8 at least, but i think we need to make a couple more signings to guarantee us to be in the playoffs or possibly the auto's. What do you reckon?

I've been wondering about him too recently, although according to the Leeds website he's still not been assigned a first team squad number. He scored a fair bit last year and is an under 19 international, (he started both games against Poland in April) so I'm sure bright things are expected of him, (and Ben Parker too - another U19 international at Leeds I've been trying to keep tabs on)).

They'll probably b sold on if they make the first team just like Walton, Shit head doesn't believe in kids, next season we'll have a team full of old coggers! Killa i'll be the next one sold and he'll probably be replace by the ginger tosser Foxe- not good enough LUFC!

Have you ever posted anything that wasn't in anger? Cool down mate before you have a coronary.
I think KB jnr has already made his position clear that he will not sell Killa. Youth will always be brought through at Leeds as our academy is one of the best in the country. Walton was nothing special he doesn't have a great deal of pace and can't tackle for toffee, if he was decent we'd have kept him. Also, Walton wanted to leave for Charlton so what's Blackwell supposed to do, keep him for the remainder of his contract when he doesn't want to play for Leeds?
Wait until you KB jnr shows all his cards for the coming season before you shout off, we are most definitely moving in the right direction.
Quote for the LUFC site:
Speculation may sell newspapers, but United manager Kevin Blackwell is doing his best to steer clear of tittle-tattle.
Football's rumour-mill has had a host of players apparently heading both in and out of Elland Road, but the boss says the gossip counts for nothing.
"Every day I read something different about who we are supposed to be signing," said the manager.
"I keep saying that if you want to sell a player go and link him to Leeds. It's frustrating to a large degree, but I'm used to it now.
"It can also be unsettling for players and that's why I don't ever say what we are doing.
"I know it might be frustrating for the fans, but when we have something to say we will announce it properly."

I've been reading on Waccoe, apparantly hes a midfielder, he shows a bit of class but they don't know if its too early for him to play in the first team though but at the moment hes one of the promising youngsters along with Rose......

....and Ben Parker too - another U19 international at Leeds I've been trying to keep tabs on. The Leeds official site has said today that Ben Parker has flown to Norway with the first team squad for the pre season games. Looks like we might have a new youngster coming through this year afterall.

yeah - with Crainey staying home due to injury, I wonder if he's being adapted to play at left back.

At least it shows Blackwell is prepared to bring in some of the youngsters into the first team squad..... Could be interesting if hes good at left back, we may get rid of Harding then....

Don't think anyone would want to pay any where near the £850k Harding cost us.... we'd have had to pay Brighton even more as well if we'd have gone up last year!
I'm one the the apparent few that thinks on the whole Crainey did a great job last year, (although he still gets done by attackers fairly often). Crainey was one of the most improved players last year at the club, (along with Gregan who had a cracking second half of the season.)
Not saying they were the best players! Just "most improved"!
