I would say that Bartley did not want to come back as soon as it was clear that Monk wasn't, even before his new contract with Swansea (remember his very pro-monk interview on Yorkshire Radio after the last game of the season? Basically an ultimatum); Taylor clearly was going at the start of last season; Wood did not want to stay either that became clear. Even Bridcutt seemed to want out when it was clear he was not top of the pecking order which TBH I am ok with as he was nowhere near as good last year as in his first year. So I am not sure how much of this is even Leeds' doing. Obviously peripheral players such as Doukara, Diougoraga and Antonsson were considered expendable and probably rightly so...though Antonsson I feel sorry for. I still consider Green an odd one but understand the rest. Just commenting Dave not saying you think we should get rid or keep.

19 year old - 6'" and supposed to be quite quick, so hopefully not a bad additionHe is basically a replacement alongside Ekuban for Doukara & Antonsson - we still need to replace Wood with someone who we know can get goals at this level, not "one for the future" or "worth taking a gamble". As for Doukara I still believe there is a footballer in there but his attitude will ensure he does not make it at the level he should. He has upset the club with his antics this week, he had his biting incident , and of course was one of the sicknote six. He went missing in more games than he showed up in but did do well at times and his goal last season will stay in the memory, but no great loss and clearly TC did not rate him. So now from last seasons team we have got rid of Green from the first team and Taylor, Bartley, Bridcutt, Doukara and Wood from the team altogether - odd given that Green, Bartley, Bridcutt and Wood were basically the 'spine' of that team , keeper, centre defence, centre midfield and centre forward Dave From: Richard Naef <[email protected]> To: leedslist <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 23 August 2017, 17:43 Subject: [LU] Jay-roy Grot Phil Hay says deal done, announcement tomorrow.
