Players Leaving Leeds

It has been confirmed that 10 players will not have their contracts renewed by Leeds United. These include;
Leigh Bromby
Paul Connolly
Davide Somma
Paddy Kisnorbo
Paul Rachubka
Habib Habibou
Monty Gimpel
Sanchez Payne
Patrick Antelmi
Jordan Snodin

There are a few on the list who don't surprise me. The likes of Bromby, Kisnorbo, Connolly, Somma, Rachubka and Habibou have not been good enough since joining Leeds, I always thought Habibou was a good player after seeing him in the Belgium Pro League and various clips on Youtube. But he hasn't cut it at Elland Road, Connolly never plays as well as the rest of them. Don't be surprised if Bromby takes up a role with the juniors as he had done well with them up to now.

I can't comment on Payne, Antelmi and Snodin as I have not seen them play.

I haven't seen Gimpel play either but having heard about what a talent he his. He declined Man City to come to Leeds. He was ranked as an up and coming talent. He was also a straight A student. He was coached by some of the best and came out as one of the best for the future. And we still let him go, ok he is not first team material now, but give him some first team experience on loan and he will be a star.

That's it for this blog. The upcoming blogs include;
