Leeds fan here in peace

Rumour is we have signed Westerman, how has he gone since returning to you guys, i know he was rated very highly when he was younger

Hi Christopher, if you’ve signed Westy, you will get a good solid performer defensively, and with good hands and feet creating options for your runners, he’s been good for us, and a few will be disappointed if it’s true.

Sounds like he’d be just the sort of player were lacking at tge moment!

Could do with him this year!

Great player, I really hope he stays at Hull. He'd be a very good signing for Leeds, my only concern I'd have if I was a Leeds supporter is that it would be his fourth club in little over two seasons.

Disappointing if westerman leaves as were a better side with him on the field and out attack is much better when he plays. Does a big defensive shift every week too

As I tried to explain a couple of pages ago, I don't think people appreciate how rare players like that are in the modern game. It's more than just being a pivot. You can put Kelly or Connor or whoever there but they just couldn't provide the same kind of threat. When a man of Westerman's size is running at the line you have to number up, otherwise he is just going to run over you, that sucks men into the middle and that's when his hands come into play. I can only really think of O'Loughlin in recent years that has been as effective playing that role. He might not be the one doing all the exciting stuff and getting all the assists, but he makes the half backs jobs so much easier.

If he leaves we will adapt. We did when he left the first time. But our attack is so much more dangerous and better to watch when he is involved. I personally would be pulling out all the stops to keep him.

You can't blame Westy if he moves closer to home on more money This is probably his last move so if it's for more money then Hull are offering him uou can't blame him. I know we took him back but he has given 100 % since returning which is good enough for me. Hope.he stays but if he leaves good luck to him. He can be replaced

Might we be looking at a London based RU player?
