markjazzbassist Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 He may stick about as a 5th/6th choice centre back here next season but I expect this bit of experience to put him in the shop window for Championship clubs. Maybe get a couple of million with a sell on fee. Shane Duffy esque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Going to Leeds on loan. Should be a good move for him. Could see them buying him if all goes well. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Should be a good move for him. Could see them buying him if all goes well. Think he could be good, long-term cover for us, but the problem is that young players don't develop by only playing 15-20 matches per season and most young footballers want to play week in week out, so I ultimately end up seeing him getting sold to a Championship side. He could do very well then and potentially end up with a lower half PL side (like Adam Forshaw). Shame, I really like this lad as I have a soft spot for someone who also has done so well in school. Seems like most footballers either aren't academically gifted or don't choose to develop that side of themselves because they think they don't have to.

Sibdane Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Good move for him. Hopefully he'll get a decent amount of playing time in a side that should be pushing for promotion next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 His contract with us ends next summer so, unless he has a stormer on loan he may never return to us. Hope he makes a go of it, as Romey says he could well end up staying there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 From what the papers say on the OS And in the Yorkshire Post, Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson says Everton loanee Matthew Pennington reminds him of Victor Lindelof, the Swedish international centre-back who cost Manchester United £31million this summer.

pete0 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Is that a good or bad thing!?Unsure, can only tell you Jansson is an old school quality defender. Reminds me of Skrtl but can actually defend as well. I'd have him here to add some bite to our defence. Sorry I know I've digressed and not given you an answer to your question.

Quinn31 Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Just signed a new three year contract believe it or not - not sure if he was going to be out of contract in the summer. I have to believe we will try to move him on for a nominal fee in the near future, as I believe many Leeds fans don't think he's good enough.

markjazzbassist Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 completely forgot he was on loan, sounds like it didn't go well. lower championship or league 1 player? maybe they are trying to make sure they get some fee (no matter how small) from the investment the academy put into him.

I'm now reading mixed reviews on him - Either way, he's a rudimentary, basic defender. Not a lot of pace and isn'tt ever going to play the ball out from the back. Would certainly think he's good enough for the Championship in some capacity, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only saw a couple of Leeds games this season and Pennington didn't play in either of them. On the Leeds website, feelings are mixed. Some want him to sign others don't.
