By Keith Ingham![]() I've always been interested that some managers see something in a player while others don't. The case of Steve Morison being the most recent Leeds United have acquired. Neil Warnock stated publicly that he thought Leeds got the best deal when the Morison - Becchio deal was done and in the past against us he certainly gave our centre backs food for thought with his rumbustious style of play, but when he turned out in the white shirt he seemed lazy and uninterested in playing for us. His leaving seemingly frees up monies (Moribobs was on around 17k) to bring in a player in the next week or so and rumours abound that it is Noel Hunt, Brian McDermott is definitely a fan of him as he had him at Reading. Another who Warnock rated but never played was Ryan Hall who seems destined for pastures new if rumours are true. In fact out of all of the signings Colin made only El Hadji Diouf and Stephen Warnock in my view seemed worth the wages they were getting. For me a pretty poor record for a manager who had so much experience with getting players with other clubs. I doubt if Morison is the last out of the door at Elland Road. On On On

As a former scout I trust McDermott's judgement over Warnock's an day. I'm hoping Hall, Tonge, Brown and Norris all follow Morison out the door. I might even go as far as saying Austin too. He is nothing more than a battering ram. I don't see any potential in him. Brian McDermott said he wanted exciting football to be played at ER. Austin can't deliver 'exciting'. I would also add Green although for periods he was our best player and was being played out of position. If we get rid of most of the names I have mentioned we will be able to make some neat cash that could be pumped into other areas, the wings for certain.

Remember when it comes to the end of June, just a couple of days now, a lot more dead wood will be released from the wages bill. Connoly,Soma,Kisnobro, Rachubka, Gimpel, Payne, Antelmi and Snodin. Not sure whether I can include Bromby. Just add those up and think how much will be released to bring in the type of player/players Brian requires.
