It can't be wrong. Cjay found it on the inter webs. McKennie's Uncle has a sister who knows a guy who's brother said a girl at work knows a dude that's tight with McKennie. And it's all been backed up on Twitter.
Rumour has it Leeds have a very lucrative sponsorship lined up with a certain fast food outlet and dont want to blow the negotiations.

I've come to the conclusion Javi is a coward.
Basically said Orta comes to see the players before and after the game, he's a puppet and it shows in his selections
Weak.
It takes balls to go with the less obvious selection
Javi hasn't got them
Doesn't like younger players.
Plays the senior players no matter form
He dropped Summerville who was our best player vs Fulham.
Shoehorned Bamford and Rodrigo into a swatting 11 when neither on form deserve to start.
McKennie and Roca
Ayling back in just in time to be battered by another tricky winger
f**k off
Really annoyed with that line up
Your usual unsubstantiated theories...
Welcome back its been almost a week...

Did you see his friend on twitter bashing all McKennie's teammates?
McKennie has to know about it given a Leeds employee was listening
Has the option of distancing himself from this guy.
Says nothing.
He's at best a coward and at worst agrees with what he said

Well he has certainly gone with experience, I suppose a lot of managers in his position would. Experimenting with kids is a huge gamble that us as armchair pundits with no professional jeopardy would go with.
It is certainly an attacking line up. It will be a case of which team out scores the other. Fingers crossed for pre WC Rodrigo and pre erm erm ….. Bamford at Aston Villa 2019/20 season.
He doesn't like younger players, he was the same at Watford.
He said Orta and Kinnear come to see the team before and after a game in his last press conference . . .
He has dropped Summerville who was our best player the other game
What else?
So they come to watch training and you label him a puppet.... No other possible explanation?
I could suggest they come to show solidarity with the squad but wouldn't fit yout theories.
Re young players.
Mes and Aaronson are just turned 23.
Perhaps that hasnt worked...

We’ll achieve a result as I’m not wearing either shirt that I was wearing the last two matches…
In truth, I’m scratching my head about the selection. But who knows, maybe Rodri will offer more than Aaronson in the 10. He very won’t fall over as much, but he won’t offer as much in the press.
And I think Javi is legitimately scared about having Sinisterra and Summerville on at the same as they don’t contribute enough defensively. Both on might expose us even further. I’m also wondering about Gnonto taking longer to get his fitness back from his injury. We don’t know the specifics there. I’m speculating on that one.
Javi did hint at one or both of Wober and Cooper nursing a knock…so it was Wober in fact.
I’d also like to think Javi has laid a challenge to Roca and McKennie to show something or they’re off at halftime with Foreshaw and Greenwood taking over.
I agree with Ayling over Rasmus as Ayling is a touch quicker. Tough call given unenviable options.

Fingers crossed this works out!
I feel he's got a real conundrum with his attacking players. He's shuffling them around from game to game. Like you say, he has to balance the team and I also feel he's rotating the minutes - except with Harrison who is the only one fit enough to play every game and cover both ends of the pitch. If only we had so many options in midfield
Pretty sure Greenwood is coming back from an injury
