New Leeds Striker McDaid a Welcome Statement of Future Intent â€" by Rob Atkinson



In among all the angst and uncertainty that seems to make up the entire public profile of Leeds United these days, there has been one ray of hope in the shape of a young Irish footballer of immense potential arriving at the club. Robbie McDaid, snapped up from Glenavon in an uncharacteristically sane and far-sighted move, looks to be a genuine striking prospect.  The selling club has had the good sense to insert a clause entitling them to 10% of any sell-on fee â€" the sure sign that a player is expected to go far and rise high.

To be fair, this has the hallmark of McDermott the scout firmly stamped on it.  The manager has previous for recruiting quality Irish talent from his Reading days, and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that our Brian may well have unearthed another real diamond in McDaid.  His manager at Glenavon, Gary Hamilton, says of his former charge:

It’s a fantastic deal, foremost for Robbie to give him the chance to go full-time.

“He was to sign on a YTS deal, but after he scored twice in an Under-17 game while on trial a few weeks ago they ripped that up and offered him a two year pro contract. I’m delighted for Robbie. He is a great lad. He has bags of skill, he can score goals, but his biggest quality is that he listens.

“It is rewarding when you have a young player getting a move like this. I thought he would have gone at the start of the season, but it has all gone through now.”

The fact that Leeds have been impressed enough to change tack so sharply, signing the lad on full pro terms instead of YTS, speaks volumes for the regard United have for their new acquisition.  McDermott observed ““He’s a young player with great potential. I met him and his parents and he’s a lovely lad.”

Glenavon will also play United in July as part of the McDaid deal.  Manager Hamilton is thrilled at the prospect of a meeting between the two clubs. “Leeds United are a massive club and have a huge support here,” said Gary, who played against Leeds in a friendly when with Glentoran. “It will be a great day for us and hopefully we can get a big turnout for it.”

No date has yet been set for the July friendly; doubtless it will be confirmed as part of Leeds United’s pre-season plans.  McDaid is doubtless one for the future â€" but the future is where the real focus is now for United with the current season all but dead apart from pessimistic worries over getting dragged into the relegation fight.  Thankfully, whatever parlous form Leeds are currently showing, we can rely upon the likes of Millwall, Barnsley, Yeovil and Charlton to be even worse.  We’ll be back at this level next year â€" and who knows what kind of impact young Robbie might make in his new environment?

All Whites fans will wish him well.  Welcome to Leeds United, Robbie McDaid.

Kun 17 år, men et talent Leeds har arbeidet hardt for å få inn.

[Andersen]

Noen som har peiling på hvor mye denne gutten har kostet klubben vår ? Har vi i det hele tatt hatt penger til å kjøpe ham, med så mye bråk som det er i klubben nå ?

[Blank_File]

Konge. Elsker slike spennende spillere.

[p0ndus]

Positivt, begynner talentspeidingen og fungere igjen .  Håper på det:)
Welcome Robbie MOT

[Jon R]

Sikkert en spennende type, men vi fortsetter altså å hente inn spillere med penger vi ikke har....

"Noen" i eller rundt klubben må ha klokketro på at dette ordner seg!

i och för sig handlar det väl om peanuts i ersättning typ 1000 pund i veckan, kan vara värt att satsa på lång sikt, men att bli av med lön för spelare som diouf, varney, hunt, drury, kebe, tonge, pygh m m   är det viktiga, här talar vi om säkert  60000-700000 pund i veckan sammanlagt som vi kan spara utan att förlora nämnvärt i kvalité

[RoarG]

Slår denne signeringen til, skal jeg uten forbehold genierklære BMD . Velkommen til Leeds skal du være, Robbie.

[fmtj]

Her kommer en 17 åring, et stort talent, inn i en klubb preget av kaos.....!! Nesten så jeg synes hans foresatt burde reagert her.... !!

Dette gir kanskje en pekepinn på at scoutingen fungerer, men det er da for svingede viktigere å begynne å plukke poeng nå!!!!!!!

Da blir det kamp i Glenavon i sommer! 

[DenHviteYeboah]

Selvfølgelig spennende, men er nok litt skeptisk... hvorfor skulle akkurat vi som ikke har noe annet enn kaos innad i klubben, klare å snappe et supertalent foran de andre store klubbene...?

Så lenge de får lønna si så merker kanskje de ikke så mye uro? Noen bryr seg mye andre lite.

La gutten slippe til mot Millwall  på Lørdag, kanskje det blir starten på et positivt fotball eventyr

Robbie McDaid â€" what can Leeds United expect from the youngster?
BY TOM CARNDUFF â‹... MAY 17, 2014 â‹... POST A COMMENT
FILED UNDER  LEEDS UNITED, ROBBIE MCDAID
Robbie McDaid, the young Northern Ireland international is a player that seems to have slipped under the radar as the madness at Leeds United continues.

The Whites signed the seventeen year old back in March and he will join up with the team over the summer. He remains relatively unknown, having signed from NIFL Premiership side Glenavon.

“He’s a player who knows his position, who runs the channels well, and who knows where the back of the net is” stated academy manager Neil Redfearn said at the time of the signing. McDaid scored six times in sixteen appearances for Glenavon and received a lot of interest from Championship clubs before opting to move to Leeds, who signed the youngster after he netted twice in a behind-closed-doors encounter against Sheffield Wednesday.

McDaid could feature in the first team soon with new owner Massimo Cellino promising to place great emphasis on youth team players throughout next  season. In his time at Cagliari, the Italian was well known for signing younger players and then selling them for a profit later on down the line so this could see McDaid rack up first team appearances to provide him with the opportunity at proving himself at this level.

A lack of depth up front has been a problem for Leeds with most of the goals coming from McCormack and Smith. Noel Hunt and Dom Poleon could only notch one goal between them and McDaid will therefore provide an alternative option as Leeds look to improve on this year’s disappointing campaign.
