And what exactly Is wrong with eating puppies for breakfast ? :lolno:

I agree on that ANS. As soon as he comes back he is a Leeds player again for the length of the loan contract and if he scores a ton of goals it would be awesome for us and for his career at Spurs too when he goes back to them.
I would not assume that he will be an automatic first choice in the first team. His role is likely to be what it was like last season at best

Most likely not especially as we may have quite a choice with wingers next season

It may not be stipulated in the overall contract but no one want's their loan players to be stuffed into the U23 squad of another team either.

Izzy Brown last season only played a handful of first team games and most of them were coming on as a substitute. In his case there possibly could have been a clause but due to the severe injury he had Leeds were probably unable to risk Izzy in games just in case the injury happened again or became weaker. Some clubs will have a minimum requirement but i can't ever see a team trying to force another club to play the player in every game or the contract is null and void. That wouldn't happen in today's football.
I suppose part of when a loan agreement is reached the club the player is going to is considered as yes the idea is usually to give the player some game time, so a club is likely only to send a player to somewhere they stand chances to play. It works both ways I can't see a team agreeing to take a player on loan, probably at decent wages, and having paid a fee to cover those, just sticking them in the U23.

Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea have all fined clubs for not picking their young players enough. Chelsea recalled Baker because he wasn't starting every week. I'd be surprised if we weren't sanctioned for that.
It wouldn't surprise me if Tottenham did too. Everything is playing into the top 6's hands atm football wise. "You can't afford to buy players? Great pay to give our youth experience and help their development and if you don't pick them enough, you better bet we will fine you."

It would be interesting to see if we're paying a fee and wages as well. It's rumoured Clarke was on £1k a week and will get £20k a week at Tottenham, so if we're contributing to it the wage bill just keeps increasing.
