Joins the long list of weird transfer stuff from Spurs over the last few years. Mainly, because whenever I've seen him play for Spurs (not very often and quite a long time ago now), he looked pretty good.

Not sure if it's attitude, injuries or what but he's been passed over by the last few managers, so hopefully he can show what he's about at Leeds and do well. Good luck to the lad.

Leeds captain was stretchered off following scoring their first goal on Sunday, is also their main CB. So good chance Joe can get a game there and actually play some decent consistent minutes.

Reckon he'll do well there and given Cooper's injury he should get games. Was always impressed when I saw him for Wales and in his fleeting appearances for us. Shame it didn't work out, but hopefully we do go the obligation to buy route with this.

He will be 26 in October, so he is approaching his prime. Hopefully, he's a success there, and they end up buying him, as he will never make it here.

Was going to post pretty much exactly the same thing! I don't "get" Rodon. He's not the quality we need as a starter but he's always looked to me like a reasonable defender who could do a job in the squad. Never heard anything suggesting a bad attitude either. But it's a pretty long list of managers now who haven't fancied him - including the Rennes manager if we're being honest - so there's obviously something wrong with the picture.

Probably being a bit harsh, but I wonder if he's perhaps not the sharpest tool in the box and struggles a bit with some of the more specific tactical instructions?

Getting minutes for Leeds which is a plus, made his debut up front being chucked on chasing a goal. Tonight he’s back in the centre of Leeds defence, currently losing 1-0 to West Brom.

Good to see him getting minutes, will at least increase the chances of a perm deal coming from this.
