It would appear that Kyle Bartley is going to join West Brom this weekend for a fee of around £4m according to the Express and Star.
And, in writing that, I have to say I’m pretty frustrated – like no doubt countless amounts of our supporters – that we’ve not even tried to make a play to bring him in.
The guy loved Leeds, Luke Ayling was on holiday with him, we need a new centre-half and we’ve evidently got the money to stretch to his measly fee – surely we deserve to know why we’ve somehow let this one go?
For sure, Bielsa might feel that he is not the defender he wants but, annoyingly, I don’t see us getting linked with many other options at the moment.
We’ve let centre-halves go to open up room surely for another arrival and yet we’re making no progress in trying to bring in a starter.
Bartley would have been ideal and yet we’ve just watched him sail by.
Your thoughts? Let me know!
