Louie Barry (back from Hull City due to injury)

[dcdavecollett]

Shocking rumours that Louie might be going out on loan to Dirty Leeds in January!!

Hopefully, just the standard internet tripe.

[Drummond]

That would really be a good move to see what he's capable of. Nice that we could use them as a testing option.

[cdbearsfan]

It absolutely would not be a good move.

how come?

i don't watch any championship so no idea which teams/managers might suit him

Presumably as it could actually benefit Leeds, and nobody wants that.

I get that it’s dirty Leeds but it’s not 2018 anymore so worrying about them seems a bit counterproductive.

We've got a decent record of sending youngsters to Boro and that bumping their value up - let them have him.

[AV84]

A team at the top of the Championship seems like the closest we'll get to seeing him play in the Premier League at the moment. I know it's still a massive step up, but if Leeds are competing for promotion it's a good option for him. Obviously there'd be some expectation about game time and what not, but a couple of months at that level and then get him involved in pre season with the first team seems like the best option for him.

If there's actual interest in him from teams at the top of the Championship it's surely a good sign? It's quite a step up from where he is at the moment.

[Clampy]

Small Heath would be pleased if one of their promotion rivals lost the league's top scorer.

I hope this is a shocking rumour only!

[London Villan]

Playing at the top of the Championship will double his transfer fee in the summer... easy £20m if he has even a half-decent season there.

I accept that this is the way of the world, but it makes me sad that we think like this.

Sounds like a good move IMO. He needs to prove himself for us to benefit.

Another way to look at it is if he is better than what we have he'll stay.

However, I'm sure some of the thinking behind a lot of our transfers and early-season selections is about improving CVs so we can sell them on.

Bogarde
Enzo
Illing Jnr
Barry

There is a £40m profit in those four, if we do choose to sell them in the summer.

[AV84]

Yeah, a loan spell making a player worth 20mil is the worse case scenario, which compared to previous years, having to sell the best player to make ends meet, isn't too bad a position to be in. Man City have been selling off youngsters for huge amounts for years. Sometimes it bites them in the bum, Cole Palmer, but more often than not they just bag a load of money for a player who never really goes on to be anything special.
