Am I the only Leeds fan who isn’t that bothered about Ryan Kent Honestly don’t think we need to spend that sort of money on him. Got plenty of decent wingers as it is #lufc

Struggling to see how we fit all these wingers into the squad if we sign Kent, even if he plays centrally, Harrison, Kent, Costa and Pablo is hard to fit into one squad, unless Harrison plays up front on his own, drop bamford and play Pablo, Kent and costa behind him #Lufc

Would rather have Nketiah than Kent, personally. I do think though that we need to stop selling key players and plugging those gaps with loans. We need to be improving our own players and thinking longer-term. #LUFC

Why waste money on Kent when he can just get a young lad in on loan

Mr Radrizzani making big profits

It’s about ensuring we get out of this league this ssn. Gayle pretty much does that, Kent doesn’t & although i like the you Arsenal lad he doesn’t either.

Kent doesn’t I agree, but fans are willing to accept him considering Bielsa wants him.

Maybe Nketiah has only just popped up as Leeds have just been made aware of his availability? I dont know that is the case. But in reality we need a striker more than a Ryan Kent imo. Bamford or bust just isnt enough.

Ryan Kent of Rangers vies with Darren McGregor of Hibernian during the Scottish Premier League match between Rangers and Hibernian at Ibrox Stadium on May 05, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Good signing for Leeds United?

  Roofe is a striker, while Kent is a winger, and it is hard to see the Liverpool youngster be a direct replacement for the 26-year-old.

The 22-year-old played well for Rangers last season during a loan spell at Ibrox, but the winger has not had great times during his loan spells in England.

Moreover, Leeds do have enough wingers in their squad, and Kent is not a player who is going to make the Whites that much better.
