Adryan

He's an exciting talent. One we should retain in my opinion. To discard now would smack of short-sighted mentality.

Agree with Yorkie. We need experience in the middle, it's what we've been missing.

Has anyone got the link that says we will be paying 3m for him, I'm not sure about him, thinks he's got talent but there's a reason he's at Leeds.

Agree with Yorkie



I think we'll benefit from Adryan's presence next season.

At the moment I get the impression MC, Salerno and Redfearn are more interested in squad tinkering than going for a push this season.

I just hope they realise the precarious position the club is in.

Kebaba he is 20 with a wife and kid, until you have kids and a family to support you cannot possibly understand what it takes. No offense either.

"That's the difficult question. If Leeds were cash rich and could afford a 3m gamble then I would say take him. "

The perfect rebuttal to any pro Adryan argument.

I have a family and know very well the life challenges that brings to us all. In fact when my lad was a baby I was at university doing a degree and we were on the breadline with only one relatively poor wage coming in.

With all due respect Adryan will be earning a handsome salary that I will never match. My point really is that money buys time and makes life easier. He can afford to hire a full time nanny, cleaner, ship over his family and luxuries. He only works part-time hours so he should have plenty of time to try and focus on improving his English and settle in. He will also be able to fund a nice pad in a nice area. He only really needs to focus on adjusting to the English game.

Good article.

I think there is a case that Adyran hasn't got the players around him to flourish. If he was in a better team, he might be doing better.
But then again, if he's our main guy, he should be taking the game by the scruff of the next and winning it (the way that Snodgrass or McCormack did in poor teams for us).

He's very talented, but as of now, isn't producing any end product and having Austin in his position would win us more points - based on what we've seen of Adyran so far - over the season.

Give him some time out the limelight, having him coming off the bench and then see what happens. Right now I wouldn't want him for £3million. But he's good and if he starts scoring and assisting then we'll have some player on our hands.

"With all due respect Adryan will be earning a handsome salary that I will never match. My point really is that money buys time and makes life easier."

In all my years, this has never been close to reality.
Wish it was. But, it simply isn't. Human nature is, the more you earn, the more you spend. You could probably scale up what a low income family earns and spends
a long way up the ladder and it, sadly, sees the same
situation, for middle class to upper class (with exception, I'm sure Jonty has everything sorted). People spend more than comes in. Unless mega rich. In those cases, it's almost impossible to do so. But, they're the 5% and 1%. Crazy but, true.

Those that have very little, automatically think that those who seemingly have so much, live the life of reilly. They don't. For the most part. Life is life. And life has a way of
being pretty equally tough, no matter how much dosh you earn. To think otherwise underestimates the rigors of life
and the trap to live beyond our means that money creates. IMO

So......., we keep Adryan then.....?

I think the answer is yes Stevie...
