Leeds United have a chance to re-sign Rob Green.
The attention of Leeds United fans was caught this past week when Huddersfield released Robert Green.
Leeds sold Green last summer to the Terriers and it proved a big mistake all round.
Their goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald flopped and the position was a problem nearly all season.
Green meanwhile did not get off the bench for Hudderfield and wasted a key year of his career.
So it is primed for Leeds to admit their mistake and sign Green as a free agent, for the second time.
It would be a smart move for Leeds to bring in the former England international, but it would be a move which would still raise some questions.
Late last season Leeds appeared to solve their goalkeeping dilemma as youngster Bailey Peacock-Farrell emerged.
Green coming back in, as he did in 2016, could hold Peacock-Farrell back for the second tie in his career.
Leeds do need a back-up for Peacock-Farrell, but after wasting a year as a back-up at Huddersfield, would Green be prepared to do the same at Leeds?
If Leeds want to make him their number one, then it makes sense to bring him back.
As a back-up, Leeds may find it more difficult to persuade him.
But bring him back on a permanent basis, and Peacock-Farrell may not take it so well.
In the short-term Green would probably be an upgrade, and owner Andrea Radrizzani will not want to hang about after also wasting a year.
Bringing Green back is an easy quick fix, but it would depend if manager Paul Heckingbottom would agree and decides he prefers youngster Peacock-Farrell.
