Interest from Man U?

He's looked good for Leeds so far.  He covers so much ground and is generally a good passer, although he's sometimes a little too safe for me.  I think  he gets caught chasing the ball too much, but he can improve on that.
 
There's probably not much to this report, but if I were advising him I'd say stay at Leeds rather than go to Man U.  At Leeds, he seems to be a lock starter.  At Man U, who knows how much time he'd get.

I prefer my DMid to be safe.

Agree the ball chasing will get better in time. Double edged sword because sometimes when he chases he causes a turnover. Bradley used to chase a lot when he was young. He got much better with that as he got older (then of course the foot surgery and it was all downhill).

You don't play harder as you age. You play smarter. Hopefully.

Could be a big part of it too. Struber's game is about as dull as could be unless you happen to love pressing tactics and professional fouls. 


Impressive soccer is always fun to watch, but I'd settle for an entertaining player or two.

I would pay season ticket money just to watch Tyler Adams. Even if we lost every game.

I think there is a tipping point too where the stadium looks so empty on TV that casuals say "eh that looks lame, why bother". STHs make sure it never looks that empty.


I don't care about capacity. I would do season tickets again if I:

1. Believed in ownership.
2. Felt like I was being entertained.

Neither of those things are happening.

Look to ownership and their involvement (or lack thereof).
