‘About time’, ‘Never rated him’ – Many Leeds fans relieved as 23y/o reportedly closes in on exit
There are a number of players still at Leeds United that can remind us all of the bad times before Marcelo Bielsa.
Just looking at some of the names still out on loan such as Pawel Cibicki is enough to send shivers down the backs of the Elland Road faithful.
January will be the perfect time for the Whites to start offloading some of these players and start to free up space both in the squad and financially to bring in fresh faces to help the promotion push.
It was revealed by Leeds Live journalist Beren Cross that Conor Shaughnessy has agreed a loan deal to join Burton Albion on Sunday.
Should the Irishman impress Nigel Clough’s side, they will have the option to make that deal a permanent one in the summer.
Many Leeds fans reacted to the update on Twitter, with many delighted with the news claiming that the 23-year-old is nowhere near good enough to make an impact under Bielsa.
Here a selection of some of the Tweets…
It was Thomas Christiansen who gave the versatile defensive youngster his chance at Elland Road, and he never really grabbed that opportunity playing in a number of positions.
The fact that was less than five years ago also proves how far some players that featured alongside him have come, with there being no better example than Kalvin Phillips at this moment in time.
