MONKey Business

I think some Leeds fans are being very harsh on Monk. We've done so well this season that maybe it's our expectations that need a bit of realism added? Reason;

1 - monk can only work with what he has
2 - our midfield is poor. Doesn't help with the fact that too many players blow hot and cold from game to game... fek all Monk can do other than rotate and hope for the best
3 - January was out of monks hands. He wanted canos, told 2.5m too much to pay.. same player destroyed us last night. Vindicated Monk in my opinion.
4 - we have only one player that can score. Might help if a few others chipped in
5- lots of things go on behind the scenes, we have no idea how much say celly is having currently

I still think we'll get to play off. What happens from there will depend on our away result in semi. We won't get beaten at elland road.

Agreed to sign is what it always says when a player has signed outside the transfer window or before the end of their contract. Because we have signed him for the summer once his loan deal is up.

You mention Wootton and Stewart. Don't forget Stewart sued us for 700k because Leeds weren't allowed to break that deal. I reckon Woottons was different because the club didnt register the deal - he signed it but they didn't. It was really unprofessional but they didn't break the rules.

Club has said he's agreed to sign. He has not actually signed.

If it doesn't happen, club will just blame the player as they've done many times before

Pablo plays because he is the only player that can play AM in the way that Monk wants that player to play. Roofe and Pablo both play AM, but they are not the same style of player.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not working

It hasn't for a while

Flashes of brilliance yet few and far apart...

Why drop others ?

If they're not doing what he wants he drops them but Pablo isn't and doesn't

If he offers things that others can't see then don't you think that's pointless ?

If others can't work on his wavelength then it's wasted surely
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You completely missed the point. The problem with playing Roofe at AM is that he isn't a playmaker. He doesn't have the passing range that Pablo has. When you are playing CMs who lack a passing range a la Bridcutt, Vieira, Phillips, you need an AM who can bring it down and play.
