Blummin' Eck.... the guy just can't catch a break (no pun intended!)
Him & Sess seem to be perma-injured....

I wonder if it's a by-product of being fast tracked into first team football at such young ages at their previous clubs... had their bodies even fully developed?

That has probably played some factor. I know two guys my age who were fast tracked into our local division 6 side because they were very talented. But they just got broken down physically by having to duke it out with grown men and didn't last nearly as long in the sport as some of my other teammates who had a more natural progression up the ranks.

Played 82 mins as LB today and 20 mins off the bench in last match again as LB, after coming back from injury.

Leeds are 3rd in Championship on a decent run of form (today's 1-0 loss follows a run of 3 wins), so its good Spence is showing enough to start (he got injured in his first match on loan at Leeds after just 9 minutes, so no track record at Leeds).

Quote out of Beeb report 'Djed Spence raised Sunderland anxieties with a curling effort just wide'

and one of the Leeds fans ratings reads ' Made a crucial block inside the Leeds penalty area in the 74th minute. Patrick Roberts looked to volley the ball home and it was going on target, but the Tottenham-owned defender kept him at bay. Playing in an unaccustomed left-back role, he did well, achieving a pass accuracy of 90 per cent and winning 100 per cent of his aerial duels. He may just emerge as the option there for the rest of the season.'

A flurry of games coming up - Coventry on 16th, Ipswich on 23rd, Preston on 26th, WBA on 29th - so hopefully will get a reasonable number of minutes.

I know Conte didn't think he was good enough, but Conte also thought the same thing about Sarr and Bissouma. Would be interesting to see if Ange rates him enough to be in the squad next Summer, and what that might look like for us.

If not I wish him the best in recouping his fee we paid for him.

His pace and attacking ability seems perfectly suited to the way we play.

Just depends on if Ange thinks he has the mindset or not
 
Realistically the best we can hope for is him being a decent backup for Porro or selling him on for a decent fee. I would like to see the former as he’s homegrown, would help with the quota but he really needs to show more in the second half of the season.

He seems to be a RB who can also play LB comfortably, a useful player to have with that versatility, and useful to have an extra HG.

Just depends how he does for the rest of the season at Leeds and what Ange thinks of him in pre-season as to whether he stays or not.

Ange is always talking about what happens in training and I don't think Spence is a good trainer.
At face value he is ideal for Ange ball.
