Another "project" signing ,defensively he's as much use as a traffic cone that's already a major weakness so adding more woes to it makes no sense at all.
The difference is that the old regime signed up 'project' players on long contracts, whereas Furner and co. are being more cautious.
Honestly, what have we got to lose? No-one is talking about giving him a three year deal.
As has been pointed out we're almost threadbare in the forwards now, including Holroyd.
We also need to replace the likes of Ferres, Ablett and JJB (hopefully!) at the end of the season, if not earlier. Hopefully Cameron Smith will kick on and get promotion; the likes of Donaldson and Albert can prove whether they are worthy of a squad place in the coming games.
Some posters seem to imply Leeds should only promote youth and sign the very highest quality players from other teams, but what if a) the kids aren't ready (Holroyd doesn't look capable of big minutes on a regular basis) and b) the best players aren't available or we can't afford them? The club cannot work miracles in these areas (which some seem to expect), hence the talk of a long transition.
