Come August it'll most likely be Bazunu in goal and McCarthy on the bench, which clearly upsets a lot of people but I'm absolutely fine with. Just for reference regarding his 'never saves any shots' problem; If you took 20 shots at every keeper in the Championship last season, on average they'd save 14 whilst Bazunu would save 13. That's it, that's the difference. Expand A damning indictment of just how bad he is. A stat like that could cost the club automatic promotion. Not to mention he will likely be even worse after such a bad injury. Loan to league one or sell altogether are the only sensible choices 5

Expand True, but if they don't go up this year they're down to their last year of parachute money, which in year three is only 20% of the overall amount allocated. So they'll have less money to spend, which you'd think would mean they would lose some more quality and make them weaker than this year. Plus my brother in law is a Leeds fan, so from a personal perspective I would just enjoy it immensely. Edited January 15 by Midfield_General 3

A loan fee seems to be par for the course, but if we haven't already, maybe we ought to waive that. His wages may be too big for a lot of championship sides to take on in full too.
