Leeds United kept their surge to the Premier League going last night by beating Reading easily 3-0 in the Sky Bet Championship at the Madejski Stadium.
The Whites have been very good this season and the way they have gone about doing their job professionally has been exemplary.
Clearly, we don’t need a big squad to get results and, evidently, Izzy Brown is not a big part of Marcelo Bielsa’s plans with him failing to feature again last night.
It makes sense, then, to suggest that sealing a permanent deal for the midfielder in the summer window would be pretty poor way to kick off the window.
If he is not good enough, or if there are question marks over his fitness, then it makes sense to let him go back to Chelsea, despite what we think about his talent.
Bielsa evidently doesn’t fancy him and so who are we to argue with that?
