    Hes an upgrade but in fairness it's not hard.

    I'd be underwhelmed if he was at the very top of our list.

    Could France going under quarantine rules screw up our PSG left back links?

    He'd be an absolute smash hit at Celtic Leeds have just been promoted watched their show on Amazon Prime he whipped some cracking balls into that box. Bring him home a Scotsman, McNamara mould left back. If it wasn't for Tierney and Robertson being so good, I'm sure he'd be in the Scotland side.

    Being linked to Barry Douglas is just about as frequent as James McCarthy, Kadlec, and Fletcher. I think he has been linked since he went to Poland and it never seems to happen.

    Not sure how keen I would be on this one anyway. Or how keen he would be given Leeds just getting to the EPL.

    Kinda with you here. Definitely not the worst player we have been linked with and he’s definitely an upgrade on what we have. Perfect scenario would be finding a left sided Frimpong. Young, energetic, quick, fearless. Hate to say it but Tierney would have been perfect in the 3-5-2 system

    Far more energetic, I even think he's got more energetic than Taylor.

    He only turned 18 and let's be honest it's no accident big teams are circling round him.

    I'm actually not keen on fullbacks now as it means we go 1 up top, but think we'll regret this one. We could have him for a good number of years and still make a mint on him if he eyed England.

    And the fee would not be high.

    He wouldn't be at the top of mine either. Hopefully we have someone from left field :50:

    I dont mind signing someone with some experience, but preferably experienced in winning things at this stage. No the easiest market to be operating in right now though. i've a feeling we'll be moving players on before serious money is spent again this window. as good a left peg as barry has, i think we need someone who has pace or can beat a man, if he's crossing to one man in a box from 40 yards out, its eye of the needle stuff.

    Did he not win the championship before and then get shipped back down to the championship the summer after? You'd be raging if that happened again, haha.

    Happens more often than think because of the large money if you get promoted

    Don't know anything about him at all. But his name is utter *, like Greg Taylor..

    However, If his name was something like Barry Douglas Costa, Ooffff what a pler.

    Worse, and I didn't it was possible.

    Well put.

    Only way I see him coming is if Pedro's wine cooler goes on the blink.

    Still being linked here and there.

    Having read a lot of comments, majority of Leeds fans would rather he stayed. Seems to be a bit of a favourite with them.

    Despite not playing as often last season.

    Making a move on him now according to McAvennie.

    Upgrade on Taylor. Of course.

    But 31, a lack of pace and an injury list longer than Odsonne Eduoards * don't have me entirely convinced.

    I don't know where you read that. I think he's certainly considered a good clubman and trainer, but he's definitely not a fan favourite.

    As a Leeds fan, he's utter gash defensively. He's too slow for the PL and a liability against PL wingers.

    He won't be playing much so may as well be sold.

    Can whip in a cross and a corner and he's got good endurance. Basically that's it.

    Bielsa has tried him in u/23 games as a CB with little success.

    The fact he's 31 and has been capped once by Scotland sort of tells you how good (or not) he is. Greg Taylor is ahead of him in the pecking order.
