Leeds Utd U23 Premier League 2

After our U23s smashed it the season before last and won the lot, this season ended early with CV-19 issues with our kids in 2nd place with a game in hand and plenty of time to do it again. Thanks to Radz backing Orta and Bielsa we now have Category 1 status which puts us into the premier League with the big boys. Last season Chelsea won the league and Wolves were relegated to Prem League 2 where we start this season. Last season both Man Utd and WHU were promoted to Prem League 1. Prem League 1 has 13 teams and Prem League 2 has 14 teams.

We lost Carlos Corberan to Huddersfield Town and need a new U23 coach?

Players and positions each can play, will be amended as and when finalised once we know who is going out on loan or sold plus players like Mujica

 

Kamil Miazek has been released as he was out of contract, and with 3 fantastic young keepers all fighting its seems harsh on the young Pole. Miazek has been a regular in the 23s and been on the bench for the first team. He i a reat stopper and have watched him pull of some amazing saves and especially from penalties. He was a huge part of our all conquering development squad which won the lot.

i wish him good luck

 

I think Corberan was after him. He'll probably wind up at Huddersfield.

 

Rafa Mujica out on loan to Oviedo, so lloking like the kid will not be making it with us. Good luck Rafa. Player list has been updated

 

Sam Greenwood added to the player list

 

This must have been a friendly? As we’re not due to play Wolves until the 12th but great start fir Joe Gelhardt

 

Crysencio Summerville Added to the player list ahead of his medical this morning in Holland and his signature later today. He will join his U23 team mates on Monday

 

Who is this kid? Is he a quick winger. It's all I can seem to find.

 

Looks quality and seems he's equally strong with both feet which is great and makes a pleasant change.

 

Thanks @Doc . Looks similar to Poveda but nippier.

 

Leeds are away to Stoke tonight so will post teamsheet as soon as I get it

 

No Casey or Cresswell which means one or both will be required against Hull
