Ins and Outs

Should always be a case of being chosen on ability instead of race. If the locals aren't making the grade or are being poached by others clubs, then of course the club are going to have to look further a field.

The F.A has simply taken to long to invest in grass roots football and it's only in the last couple of years they have taken it seriously.

How many of our whole squad have been poached by anyone? Cook, Byram, McContract, Taylor, who else of any note? If the "locals" aren't making the grade (for Leeds) maybe the scouting team should be given a shake up? Of course, thats what has happened, except their focus is now on the Iberian peninsula, rather than anywhere in the UK.

Or more likely the comparison of what Leeds can recruit for the under 23's pales into insignificance when other resources are compared.

The ground work needs to be done long before Leeds players sign their pro contracts, but with no restriction on how, when & where premier clubs can sign youngsters from, Leeds are taking the smart option and reviewing more sources in an effort to find the talent to swell the Leeds ranks.
