Image for Leeds United: Fans flock to post from Ryan Edmondson

Leeds United fans have been reacting to a post on social media from young loanee Ryan Edmondson that has emerged over the weekend.

Having put up some impressive numbers whilst with the Leeds United academy as he was coming through the ranks, it looked like the 20-year-old might have a future at Elland Road, although his loans out to improve his development have not gone down particularly well, as he’s only scored five goals so far at senior level.

Can you remember where Leeds finished in these league seasons? First up: 2018/19

He is currently out on loan at League One side Fleetwood Town, but a recent post on social media might be hinting at a change of scenery in his near future. He posted on his Instagram a picture of him warming up in a Leeds United kit from a few seasons ago. The picture was relayed to them by @leeds_utd_news alongside the question ‘January return?’, where Leeds United fans seemed to shoot down the idea:

“Why sign someone when we can recall someone with 0 goals in league 1”

“Why when he have Gelhardt, Greenwood, even Max Dean is in front of him. He’ll find a club and level that suits him but Leeds at Premier League level isn’t for him”
“He probably will return but he’ll be straight back out on loan to league 2. Hope the lad does well somewhere but he’ll never play for Leeds again.”
“He can’t establish himself anywhere he has been. Conference level at best at present.”
“No chance.”
“Not to the first team, that ship has sailed.”

Does Edmondson have a future at Leeds United?

I don't think so

Yes, he'll be a regular soon

Given the injury crisis that the team is going through right now, bringing him back from his loan might not be the worst thing for the club to consider.
