Putting 2 and 2 together looks like Ashton Golding has officially been told he’s not wanted anymore by Leeds.
Tui’s with Tonga, Walkers in the squad, wether he is fully fit or not thats another question, and Goldings been left out. Again.
Not sure what the craic is with Golding but I honestly cant believe as bad as we have been this year he hasnt had a look in. I cant imagine hes a poor trainer or bad influence on anyone so it must purely be down to his ability as a player.
I know its a business but treating young players like this leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Its only a couple of years ago he got the 1 shirt and a 4yr deal and the big fanfare with the pic of him on the gantry with his image on the pitch. Stinks. Alot.
I disagree. On a personal level, I do feel for Golding, he clearly loves the club, has a brilliant attitude and works hard. Unfortunately for the lad, he's just not up to it. I doubt he would get into any other SL team as a starting fullback.
This is a business decision, and someone who through not playing is a wasted salary at the moment in a salary capped sport. Across the squad you should be at a certain standard to play for Leeds, and he's an easy one to get shot of right now. Others should be following him out the door soon.
If we could all Golding's positive attributes into a player like Sutcliffe, you'd have a great player. At the moment at Fev, I think he has found his level, even if he does get the odd MOM.
