    Purchases, in Bumley? More likely to be small bags of white powder than anything that will "do a line" on the football pitch.

    Appreciate the reply. He's done it at AFC youth, Eng U18-23s, the Mickey Mouse cup, and pre-season kickabouts against famous Euro sides. (Just don't ask me if they were playing their best players.)

    That's what we're hoping to find out. Can he cut it in the Championship, and if so, then kick on to the prem. Thanks, and best of luck.

    Excellent news. When I first posted, saying he's small, so not an old skool no.9, but quick, great finisher and with ability to beat the man out wide, your lad said you make chances but needed someone to score them. So this could be a good fit.

    He looked lightweight against the Salford lads, though in fairness we weren't creating any 1/2 chances or any decent chances for him to work off.

    Conclusion, this game only told us the lad can score when given a chance, but as for his overall game, not much was revealed.
    Cheers. That's basically what we think so far. Let go by Chelsea when about 15 because he was too small. So he will always be lightweight (though apparently he's just started doing weights.) But every now and then his movement, timing, finishing, and ability to beat a full back and get a good cross in remind us of a young, but smaller, Ian Wright.

    Long way to go, but seems like that start in the United shirt could have been worse.

    Do you lot reckon you'll get promoted this year? It would be great to have you back in the top flight - it's been too long.

    Is Ellend Road still the cauldron it was when I was a kid? (Our new place is absolutely amazing 2% of the time, eg when we beat Barca coming from behind, but a soulless library the other 98%.)

    Develop young Eddie for us and we'll forgive you for the 1972 Cup Final.

    All the best.
    Looked good and did what he is there to do which is score goals.

    For Leeds goals you can get them on Twitter and Instagram accounts:Leedsgoals and walmottv on instagram

    Some goons think he shouldn't be in our under 23's, as if he's up to speed already to be straight in first team.... One of only 2 recognised forwards, so his time will come sooner rather than later, but this is Championship not Lg2, a big ask for a young lad with barely any 1st team competitive experience. Expect MB and Leeds to be handing you back a better player at end of season... look how we have transformed Harrison

    Ganpati the boy is showing signs of becoming a Yorkshire legend.

    2 games, 2 goals, good pace and poachers positioning. Sniffer Nketiah!
