not the point, if he was good enough he would soon claim the spot, i find i hard to believe you and gotcha are leeds fans, do the decent thing like william and foxtrot oscar

His attitude stinks. He's a 17 year old pipsqueek, to be making proclamations about where you see your best position and what opportunities you'll have is madness.

Early 20's when you've actually played first team week in week out for a season or more in the position and gained experience but now your path is blocked? Sure, I think everyone gets that.

Furthermore, it seems playing different positions can be a useful part of a young players development, it allows them to gain instincts and understanding of the game from different angles, that they may not otherwise get.

If walker isn't humble or open minded enough to take on new ideas does he have the mentality to become a top player?

I'd say that's a bit harsh on Walker Flex. Whilst none of us were party to the discussions between the club and Walker, all we can say for sure is that Walker is worried by the long contract offered to Golding and the impact it might have on his ability to play full back.

We don't know how strongly this was really put, but the club's reaction suggests that Walker or his agent went a bit too far in pushing the fullback issue.

What might make all this a bit different is if GH/BM have told him they see him as a halfback rather than fullback and intend to play him there and not at fullback. That's different from them saying that he'd have to fight for his place at full back. But given in the latest game he played fullback and Golding 6, that would seem a bit unlikely

As for Golding, this is all hugely unfair on him. If he doesn't star every game this year people will compare him unfavourably to Walker. That will happen next year as well if Walker leaves, and yet Golding's a tyro too.

Re Golding as a player, he could pass as a junior from what I saw. Why he isn't now I have no idea. Then again Hardaker barely did either at Leeds and look at him now.

That was the point I made some weeks ago now.
The amount of "supporters" having a go at Hardaker for not being able to pass the ball or join the attacking line are probably the same ones saying the same about Golding now.
Golding like Hardaker worked hard on his defence.
Hardaker now is being coached to use his attacking flair something he had at Fev in his early days.
Maybe if Golding played for Cas he could do the same.
I like Walker and think he has bags of potential.
For me he needs to stay at Leeds for a couple more seasons.
However I do think GH was wrong to comment on a private discussion with Walker even if it was to pacify some of the fans.

And Walker and his agent were wrong to let these private discussions leak out. The club deserve more respect than for stories to be spread around the fan base making them out to be the bad guys (AGAIN)

Probably some lessons to be learned from both sides.
Agents however will do all they can to put their clients in the public eye and tout their services.
I can see why Leeds felt they did what they did but for me it still doesn`t make it right imo.
