Leeds are pretty quick to renegotiate deals upon players who impress so would've only been a matter of time. What his agent did helped create a bit of a circus around Walker with daft assurances being asked for and loose lips creating rumours and problems. Doubt he's the only agent around who could've gotten him a bit more money without those latter issues happening.

He created a mess, I don't think you are wrong on that. But he got his client what he wanted, and his client is where he wants to be.

Daft assurances, that he actually succeeded in getting.

So Leeds have turned around and promised he'll only play 1 position?

You are talking first team? That never was an assurance that Jack asked for. That was purely something assumed by people from the poor announcement made a few weeks back.

Considering he placed Golding's length of contract and shirt number as to why he hasn't signed then yes he was obviously worried and thinking about first team.

Didn't he play in the halves last week for the u19s?

You have just posted two different things in two seperate posts.

I repeat, an assurance of a shirt number or a starting position in the first team, was not an assurance seeked by the player or his agent. However, other assurances were, and were three weeks back, and have been accepted by the club. It is just those assurances, as they always were, are different to what people assumed. Or should we say, spun differently.

How do you know, were you in the meetings?

I didn't need to be, and you know how I know. But then again neither was you, but it hasn't stopped you saying the wrong thing anyway.

You do need to be in the meetings if you're going to carry on talking like what you've heard is fact and not just one version of events.

17 year olds....famed for being accruarate, truthful and not exaggerate their side of a story

Nobody needed to be in the meeting to know that Walker wanted to play fullback and was concerned that Golding was blocking his path. That was the issue.

No it wasn't the issue. The first part correct though.

Well either you, or Jack Walker are lying then, because Jack Walker told us, explicitly, the problem was he wanted to play fullback and Ashton Golding was blocking his path.

[i"The offer I’ve received from the club is fantastic but it doesn’t come down to money, it’s the opportunity to play at fullback, a position I feel brings the best out in me. The club has a great young fullback in Ashton Golding who is only 2-years older than me and who recently signed a 4-year deal so I need to look at my future and make the right call on my career going forward.”[/i

Neither is lying. You are just interpreting what was said how you want to read it, rather than what he said. There is a key word in that statement you quoted that is the difference between what you think was his concern, and what was his concern.
