With this Cardiff fans view on the Leeds site

Leeds United site

Wednesday 15th July 2015

We’re back with the latest “fans view” and just like when Lee Erwin signed for the club we have hunted down a fan of the team Tom Adeyemi has joined from, Cardiff City.
The Cardiff fan in question is Chris Jones.



1. What is your initial reaction to this move?

Chris – “Not happy as I feel if he had a run of games he could have been a permanent fixture in our team. Disappointed really”

2. Cardiff fans seem upset by the move, why do you think this is?

Chris – “He seems a player full of potential at a young age. Highly rated and never really got a fair crack at the whip here to be fair”

3. What sort of player are we getting?

Chris – “You are getting a good solid midfielder who can break up play but can also make good strong forward runs. Strong central midfielder”

4. Is he worth £1million?

Chris doesn’t know Leeds have a set fee agreed at £1million if we want to buy Adeyemi so his response was very interesting.

Chris – “We paid £1million for him, and if he does well for you I can see us asking for up to £3million for a player his age and English”

5. If you could compare him to any player, who and why?

Chris- “Hmm, sort of a Nabil Bentaleb style player. Good at breaking up play and goes on occasional strong forward runs”

6. Do you expect him to be a success at Leeds United?

Chris- “That is hard to say. He wasn’t a great success for us for unknown reasons but if he plays to his potential he should be”

7. He’s been loaned out a lot so far in his career. Why do you think this is?

Chris – “I believe this was to gain match experience and when we signed him I expected him to go straight into our first team”

8. Leeds and Cardiff historically don’t like each other. Are you even more disappointed it was Leeds that signed him?

Chris – “Not going to lie, I’d have preferred him to go to another club rather than Leeds due to our history with each other”

9. What is his best asset?

Chris – “We haven’t really seen that much of him so from what I’ve seen I’d say his ability to break up play”

10. One thing he needs to work on?

Chris – “I’d say his distribution was poor so that would be what he needs to work on”

11. Describe him in three words…

Chris – “Talented, Powerful, Versatile

What a load of bollocks,Bentaleb is he fukin mad,the boys got a touch like a fukin rapist his second touch was always a tackle,he's better off at another club who will play him but to make out that we should be disappointed and that he would have been a key player for us is just absolute rubbish

Says it all, that guy and none of us have a clue what his best asset is :lol: we've hardly seen him play and what we have seen of him, there is no pattern to his play. That's precisely why he's gone on loan, he needs to get match fitness and consistency somewhere, he won't get that in our current midfield, not if Dikogcoi is fit
