Leeds Super Fans react to exit links on Ian Poveda
This is part of a regular series from our panel of Leeds United Super Fans. Each week, Super Fans from our Leeds Insider Facebook page will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around Elland Road.
Leeds United winger Ian Poveda could have seen his time at Elland Road run out this week with multiple developments.
The attacker was not included at Manchester United on Saturday, and it got worst as he was snubbed by the under-23s for their season opener last night.
Football Insider has reported that after falling out with Marcelo Bielsa, Poveda could leave the club on loan, or even permanently.
It has never quite worked out for Poveda at Elland Road.
The winger featured at times in the Championship and last season in the Premier League but has never cemented a spot.
Jack Harrison and Raphinha are miles ahead of the rest, and it looks as though Poveda wasn’t able to handle that.
Bielsa won’t stand for those who go against him, and it would be no surprise to see a deal accelerated in the next couple of weeks.
We asked our esteemed panel of Leeds Super Fans over on Facebook if this would be the right time to get rid, and their responses were overwhelming.
The majority urged Bielsa to move Poveda on and start concentrating on those who are shining in the under-23s.
Here’s what they said…
