A selection of Leeds United fans have been left fuming on Twitter to hear that young right back Lewie Coyle is set to return to Fleetwood Town on loan after his season-long spell during the last campaign.
The Yorkshire Evening Post claim that Joey Barton, who has taken the manager’s role at the north west club, wants to take the 22-year-old back to the League One side after dazzling during his temporary move during the 2017/18 season
However, much of the Elland Road faithful are less than happy on social media to hear that he might be leaving once again, with many believing that he is ready to shine for the Whites’ senior side after impressing in the third tier of English football.
This is Futbol has rounded up a number of the supporters’ best tweets:
Definitely reject this. He added consitency to his game getting their POTY award. He will challenge Ayling all the way, plus if CBS are injured Ayling can play there and Coyle could slot in at RB.

Would be a terrible move, if Bielsa is wanting to play 3 at the back as you suggest then Coyle would be perfect for right wing back! Is Coyle currently training with Leeds ?

We were caught out horribly last season. The lads gone out on loan with the right attitude and done himself no harm. Time he's retained and given match time in the cups and covering for injury or just to rest Ayling if needed.
No deal.— Bielsa's Cheese Wedge Ultras (@Allcheese1) June 26, 2018
Don't know what Bielsa thinks of him but I'd hope he'd get a run in the first team this season!

Rather have coyle over berardi tbh. Better player. Berardi hit and miss

Absolutely not !
Lewis is the real deal now.— South Stand Steve (@stevenarthursim) June 26, 2018
Opinion
The fans in Yorkshire are not pleased with this move and it should come as no surprise. After seeing Gaetano Berardi struggle, especially with the disciplinary side of his game, and Luke Ayling suffering his bombshell injury which kept him out for much of the season, they were crying out for Coyle, and sending him away seems a strange move. They love a home grown talent at Leeds and the 22-year-old is no exception, so they would love to see him be another breakthrough star. However, it looks as though he may have to bide his time until he can add to his first team appearances.
