TeaCider24 12,614 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) "FIFA says players also allowed to play for up to three clubs, instead of two, during the course of a season in temporary rule change" Might mean Stubbs can play for us. I wonder whether Marc Bola could feature again too, now that League One is over. Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, they sacked their manager pretty soon after he joined and he stopped getting picked. Which isn't encouraging. Link to post Share on other sites

Silvio_Dante 30 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Leeds United have made Daniel Ayala one of their ‘top targets’ this summer, with Victor Orta having already spoken to the #Boro defender about a possible move, reports @footyinsider247. 📸: Getty https://t.co/udN9AUkV9K 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Same goes for Browne and Dijksteel, We as fans have in past been crying out for the club to take a punt on players from lower leagues and if we want to do to that we need to have some patience imo. I am not saying patience will result in all these lads becoming good but not entirely sure what the rush is in wanting to get rid of them so soon after they have arrived. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I am not saying patience will result in all these lads becoming good but not entirely sure what the rush is in wanting to get rid of them so soon after they have arrived. I guess people are looking for signs of promise - flashes of talent, clever ideas even if the intentions don't pay off, glimpses of a good player waiting to be cultivated. As an extreme example of my point, Traore clearly had potential when he first arrived, even though he was very poor in many respects. I personally think Dijksteel has shown some raw promise, but Browne and Bola just haven't demonstrated anything to suggest they're going to improve beyond League One standard. And while I'm not condoning the fans being on their backs, it's reasonable to be disappointed by what they've shown us so far, especially considering they were key ingredients in Woodgate's 'new way'.

The problem is, Woodgate showed absolutely no patience with them, by sending them off on loan at the first opportunity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Browne was injured and got himself sent off throughout the first half of the season, it wasn't just down to Woodgate's lack of patience with him. Perhaps you can make the case more-so for Bola, though we also had Coulson coming through as a stand-out player from as far back as pre-season so I don't think anyone, either fan, coach or player alike, would have wanted Bola in the team ahead of Coulson.

TLF10 4,490 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I see a player in Browne if he can learn to control his temperament. As far as Bola is concerned, Coulson emergence did hinder his own chances in team. But we need two players for each position ideally and I am more than happy to keep patience with him and give him the chance to develop here. I am pretty sure Brentford wanted Bola last season and they usually got a good eye for talent even if we haven't. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
