Little is known about the Leeds United player so should they send him out on loan next season to prove his worth?
The majority of Leeds United fans are no closer to discovering if surprise (or should that be bizarre?) summer signing Amadou Haidara is destined for the first-team or the scrap heap, with the defender featuring regularly for the under-23s but without a sniff of senior action.
On that evidence alone Whites supporters would be forgiven for thinking it is not to be for the 23-year-old Frenchman, but perhaps the only way to know for certain is to send Haidara out on loan next season and see how he copes.
Leeds must have seen something in the player to bring him to Elland Road in the first place, even if the lack of official fanfare at his arrival adds an air of mystery to the move.
The last 20-something to feature week after week for Leeds’ second string with little hope of salvation was Casper Sloth, but he has long since departed.
Now attention turns to Haidara, and if he remains at Leeds beyond the summer he surely deserves a temporary spell elsewhere, possibly in League One, to see if he can cut it in English football or if he is destined to be nothing more than the answer to a future pub quiz question.
