Championship experience
Leeds could quite easily go into the European market and buy a player who has impressed abroad but is yet to experience the physical demands of the Championship.
A fast-paced, physical, 46-game season can take its toll and bringing a player to Leeds who is used to the rigours that the Championship imposes could be key to maintaining fitness and avoiding injury.
With Bristol City, Bryan is just three appearances shy of completing a century of Championship appearances and that knowledge could be crucial in helping Leeds gain promotion to the Premier League.
