With news that Adam Pearson’s departure was to be the precursor to Leeds signing Sunderland winger Will Buckley on a 93-day loan, Whites fan’s spirits were raised somewhat.
The Whites have been playing a 4-3-3 system with only one recognised winger in Stuart Dallas, Sam Byram playing a more advanced role than last season. Whilst struggling with form, Byram has been Leeds United’s only real outlet down the right flank, a situation alleviate somewhat with the recent signing of DR Congolese winger Jordan Botaka. However, with news coming through, confirmed by the Yorkshire Evening Post’s Phil Hay, that Leeds were in for Buckley, it seems that this area of the Elland Road outfit’s attacking force is somewhat complete.
With such a signing, it is understandable that Leeds United fans would want to voice their opinion on Twitter and that is what they did.
Will Buckley to sign for Leeds United – Twitter reacts.
