Joe Gelhardt - Joins Hull

[Tyzy]

Gelhardt must be feeling a little disheartened at the moment,he's falling further and further down the pecking order.His chances of being a pl player is slipping away,with Leeds anyway.

Reports suggesting a loan move to Blackburn. Think he would be a decent championship player but that's about it!

Joffy due to start vs Cardiff, then on his way to Ewood Park at the weekend.

[Jaydog]

Can’t help remembering some of the good stuff he did. The goal with Raph v Norwich, the poachers finish @ Chelsea & that dazzling skill on the touchline to set Pascal up. Still think he’s a prospect but a loan move is obviously best

Tad more than that mate.

Imo of course

Playing alongside Ben Brereton-Diaz is a sort of what-could-have-been given our previous interest in him. Seems like a good combo for Championship level and the volume of games at that level can only do him good. Bon chance, Joffy.

[The Subhuman]

Blackburn certainly better than Millwall ... Our 21's will suffer though

Close to joining former club Wigan on loan

Tough club to walk into and play well, absolutely in a relegation battle. ... the familiarity of the surroundings might help though. That will make him the best player we have out on loan though ahead of James and Costa

Still young

Maybe finding it hard being away from his family?know his Mum was a regular at Elland Road but don't think they moved here because know she has another son who plays for a Merseyside team.

Might do him good.

Get some confidence back.

Relegation battles can have toxic effects though on a club. Don't know Wigan FC well enough to say if they're dysfunctional or just unlucky to be where they are ..

I don't either.

But I like the idea of him helping the club that gave him a chance.

[pjm2019]

Joe needs to go out on loan and play week in week out, in the summer we cab see if he is good enough for Leeds in the premiership

[The Subhuman]

Joffy is absolutely good enough for Leeds and the premiership

[1964white]

Joffy is absolutely good enough for Leeds and the premiership

Yes, but we have Gnonto, Rodrigo, Bamford & Rutter all ahead of Joffy right now, can see him getting even less game-time if he remains at Leeds.

[Lumiukko]

The right thing for his career. I hope he bangs them in and improves his overall game and comes back to ER ready to take on the PL next season.

[Bally]

Should be starting for Leeds more than good enough once he feels comfortable in the first team that's when you'll see the best of him

[Mountain]

Wow.

Rewind a year and the clamour for him to play, and the abuse directed at the last manager for not playing him, was constant. And contrasted with his mother's grateful note when he was sacked.

It seems like his development has gone off a cliff.
Obviously we have gone back to getting out the chequebook and buying instead of careful coaching.

[Pullhard]

Loan is absolutely the right approach for Joffy and Leeds.
A run of 20+ games can only help his development.
If it brings him on 5% - 10% by the Summer he will be right back in the reckoning for us.

[weasel]

Certainly looks that way. Too much pizza, probably.

Would have thought he could've done better than Wigan.

Probably a sensible move as he is from Wigan and with it being just a loan he could probably move in with family rather than having to find a short term home etc. He also has the familiarity of knowing the club, knowing some of the players etc. Makes a lot of sense for me.
