I can (sort of) see the financial sense in that. But KWP is classy and would delight DCL with crosses and assists of which he can currently only dream.
Who knows if we have DCL around next season? 1 year on his deal and perhaps a sale makes sense for both parties?
If it was me, Id be open to us moving on a few players and putting the cash together for an Archie Gray bid. He's played 30 odd games at right back (started 40) but expected to become a defensive midfielder in the future.
By some miracle, if we could sign him and ease him in at right back (Godfrey rotating) and as a backup DM if needed I think its a no brainer..
With
Branthwaite, we'd then have 2 of the hottest young English defensive prospects in the league.
Would he come? Family of course all Leeds through and through but he'd expect many games with us in the premier league and be part of a back 4 with 3 English internationals (
Branthwaite, Pickford and I'll include
Tarkowski) so he'd have eyes on him.
Many would prefer Summerville if Leeds dont win the playoffs but for me Gray would be the one.
LW: Iling Junior £12.5mil
DM: Ndidi Free
CM: Barkley Free/£4mil
RW: Harrison loan
I cant stand Harrison but for these low cost options in midfield perhaps we could scrape the funds together for Gray...
