The team is:

Think that`s correct mate.
Foden not in the squad as Southgate not wanting to risk him with him already on a yellow card.

In so much that he does a very important job not recognised from the outside yes. Strangely though the international selectors are backing Phillip's more than the RL selectors did for sinfield. Theres no doubt leeds were absolutely more successful when he was in the side this year and sorely missed him when he was out. Your agenda is clear you chose to put the microscope on him over any other player.

Correct.

I don’t bring any agenda to this. Fell out of love with football and leeds many years ago due to the ever deteriorating values and conduct in the game. I’ve become a passive onlooker over the last couple of years as Leeds and Bielsa play the game in the right way and have a likeable manner to how they go about their business. Far from a fan but I’ve enjoyed watching some games, something I never since thought I’d say about football.

Well said Seth. Nice to hear. Leeds under Radrizanni and Bielsa are a breath of fresh air and play the game in the right way.

On another point I see Chelsea are willing to let Billy Gilmour go our on loan for next season with Norwich favourites to sign him.
Should Leeds be looking at him?

We should only look at loans with a view to buying. I can't see Chelsea agreeing to that though, he's a huge talent

He didn't exactly snub Leeds. It's more like Brighton snubbed Leeds, which when you consider they made an extra £20m by not selling last season was great business on their part. Good luck to him, he's a great player who'll be a regular England player in 12 months time.

Certainly think that White has all the attributes to make it.
But I just wonder if he has moved to Arsenal too soon and with a £50 million price tag on his head the expectation is somewhat greater.
It was a similar situation with James and Van De Beek and to some extent Havertz and Werner.
Certainly the two at MU probably wish they had gone to Leeds or stayed at Ajax.

White will start at Arsenal for certain which makes it a far better move than the 2 Man U players you mention. Plus he has Premier League experience. Arsenal probably only need another 7 players to be classed as half decent lol.
