wasn't the same season, was it?

No but we should be able to keep the ones we want to keep, which is the problem, due to all the changes at the club over the past weeks someone has dropped the ball with this one.

I thought it was? I might be wrong though.

Not exactly the best of news, is it

Yes it was Standee, The money from the Vaikona deal paid for Hunte, Prescott and Booth.

not sure, I remember at the time we were in serious financial trouble, hence why he was sold, I am sure someone will remember the timing(s)

Bang on the money as usual!

I'm really gutted about this. We've been told for a long time he's got the most potential out of the three. The majority of that will be hype, but it's still a blow. I think this is the first time I've ever wanted to see a junior player fail, for any club! If we're looking to become a top four team, we simply cannot allow this to happen - whatever the circumstances!

and nor should you. The true implications of this mistake over his contract won't become evidient for a few years yet and he may not even turn out to be good enough for Leeds.

However if he does turn out to be a great player Im sure we will all look back and think if only.

At present Luke leaving has no implications what so ever on our progress over the next 2 years.

Neither am I. However, I would say it's a blow to lose one of our talented youngsters to a rival club.

ATEOTD if he wants to go to a club who are clearly in decline when we are most definately on the up then thats up to him. Im really not that bothered in the grand scheme of things.

In decline maybe but they do bring there youngsters threw and give them a chance.

Im now keep convincing me they poached the wrong one and it is ben crooks who is the superstar of the youngsters

Is "decline" another word for "playoffs"?

We've no evidence that Leeds are on the decline or that we are on the up, other than the optimism of people on here and elsewhere based on the takeover/new coach/new signings. Since Agar left we haven't won a game.
