da cassino online： The prospect of playing Premier League football next season is currently a distinct possibility for Leeds United. The Whites are currently in the thick of the Championship title race, along with Norwich City and Sheffield United.
If the Yorkshire club do achieve promotion this time around – and end their 15 year wait for a return to the top flight – then it will be a great achievement for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, for which the Argentine coach would deserve plenty of credit.
Are fans being priced out of the Championship as well as the Premier League? The angry Bolton fan in the video below certainly believes so…
However, former England defender and Sky Sports pundit Joleon Lescott is concerned that the Leeds squad aren’t yet ready to make the step up.
What he said
Speaking on Sky Sports’ The Debate (06/03), as quoted by The Boot Room, Lescott gave his verdict on whether or not Leeds are ready for the Premier League: “manager wise I would say…But personnel wise, they won’t have many Premier League players that have played in the Premier League. So they’re going to need to recruit a lot of experience.”
The time is right
Lescott is right that Leeds don’t boast a great deal of Premier League experience. However, 33-year-old veteran Pablo Hernandez has proved his quality in England’s top flight before. What’s more, goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has previously excelled in La Liga, even representing Real Madrid.
On top of that, whilst they may not have Premier League experience, the likes of Kalvin Phillips, Pontus Jansson, Mateusz Klich and Ezgjan Alioski certainly have what it takes to shine in the top flight. A lack of experience shouldn’t hold the Whites back too much, as in Bielsa they have a coach capable of keeping them grounded, confident and focused.
Leeds have never looked more ready for promotion than they do now.
