I am a little surprised that he has come to Leeds if I am totally honest, dropping down from the premiership. He enjoyed his time with us last season, the fans enjoyed having him.

He is a big asset for the club.

He's also got good experience in the Premiership and UEFA Cup. I swear he played against Bayern Munich.

And trini, he's a defender.

I’d like to see Leeds get promoted but do you think they can stay in the top 6 and qualify?
As you know, it’s pretty tight up the top with only 4 points between 2nd and 8th and you’ve had some up and down results lately.
