how much did we get for him? any buy back clause? what is it with these academy players running away from Chelsea lately?

He had only a year left on his contract and he's a youth player. What do you expect?

There were others - West Ham, Liverpool, Brighton - that also wanted Bate but he chose Leeds.

It probably means either a) Lamptey is going or b) his injury issues aren't getting any better.

Aye would think so. If Lamptey doesn’t go though means he will probably be their back up RB. Which he could have just stayed and gone on loan perhaps.

He signed only 3 years contract.

What exactly is a sell on clause?

Should Leeds sell him, we'll receive a portion of the fee.

Weren't we giving Leeds £6m 15 years ago for three academy players?

Hopefully it is sufficient where the club doesn’t regret it too much in case he becomes a great player.

Has a rough start to his career. Left us in the summer and probably expected to be involved more than he has been for Leeds. Only made his senior debut last week in the cup and got subbed at H/T. Thought he was actually decent and then today came on as a sub during first half then Bielsa subbed him off with that being his last sub with basically half hour left. Looks assured on the ball but physically needs to develop I guess a bit more. Looking at their injury list, should be involved in the upcoming games if Biela trusts him.
