*Dry* loan

Wanting Leeds to do well is a new feeling. I don’t think I like it.

Lmaoooooo well done sir

 

[ButchCassidy]

Ten minutes at the end of the match today against Sheff Wednesday - Leeds Twitter seem really pleased with his cameo.

“Spence to Leeds is the best signing of the summer actually Fab ”

“Also spence at rb did more in 10 minutes than Ayling did all game, this over reliance on old guard bielsa squad has to end.”

“ Promising debut off the bench from Spence.”

“Big positives today.
Clean sheet
Djed Spence
Shaks, Gnonto combos”

“Fuck me, DJed Spence is a baller!”

Will be interesting to see if he can force his way into the Leeds side and back into our reckoning

Hope he smashes it and we can either sell for good money or the penny has dropped and he can play a part

 

[worcestersauce]

Sounds promising hope he does well and can sort his career out, I don't think we made a mistake signing him I think he made a mistake signing for us.

 

[eddiebailey]

If Royal isn’t playing regularly he won’t want to stay beyond this season, so a good loan could well see Spence coming back into contention.

 

[rabbikeane]

Sounds like he was right in him being too good for Championship.

I’ll never understand players having a shit attitude. They are literally living the dream. You’d think someone in their life would take them aside and have a word.

Eh let's wait till we say that lol

I have yet to see a reliable source for Djed having a shit attitude. Don’t think this take is needed to explain why it hasn’t worked out for him so far at Spurs. Conte froze out other less experienced players such as Gil and Sarr, while when Ange arrived he was injured and already behind Porro and Royal in the pecking order.

Well then you havn't been paying attention, few sources have mentioned his poor training and attitude.

Most people blamed Conte as he was a Levy signing, but Ange has given everyone a fair chance and there's been talk of even Ange not appreciating the attitude.

Not to mention previous managers saying similar things.

It's not a coincidence. Talent or not, attitude, determination and effort should always be far ahead of actual ability and talent. Ronaldo and Messi wouldn't be the legends they are today without those first 3.

I think the term "attitude" is too general. being unprofessional (like Ndombele) is attitude problem. turing up late in training is also an attitude problem. not working hard enough on the pitch is also an attitude problem. we don't know which is the case for Spence. of course he may become more mature after a seaon's loan, but since our RB is pretty much sorted (Porro and Emerson) I can't see him having a future here

Emerson is hugely ambitious. He won’t hang around to be second string.

Comments on Spence's performance from Leeds United board........

"Thought he did well in his cameo. Showed his dribbling and running power a few times. Most impressed how he got back and saved us when Wendies broke and looked like they may score. That type of pace will be vital for us".

"He's a beast, wasn't knocked off the ball once."

"The writing is on the wall for Ayling I'm afraid, once Spence gets used to the team. I thought Spence did very well, particularly the goal saving tackle it looked like, admittedly from the other end of the ground".

"You could see Spence just itching to get forward, the lad has pace in abundance and will be a great asset as long as DF keeps his temperament in check".

"He mad a difference today and he's only been here a few days. Once he gets going properly, he will be a fantastic signing, albeit a loan".

"Has to start vs Millwank. Probably the best RB in the league and every side would want him".

 

[Albertbarich]

I think he is going to tear up the Championship and earn us a nice day profit next summer.

I really like him , don't know what's gone on but think he is really talented and he just needs a chance to show it. ( I'm not saying that it isn't his fault he doesn't get the chance).
