I thought Jansson was a revelation when he arrived at Leeds and that season
under Monk he and Bartley sorted out our defence which had been a problem for
years that nobody had resolved. I liked the fact we just said to Pontus you
just attack the ball and clear it. It worked. Since then it's been up and down
for him. I still think he's our best defender but he's fragile and for a hard
man he makes a real meal of his injuries. At times he is embarrassing, one
minute nearly dead, the next up and at them. I think it was a massive mistake
to put him on the bench against Derby in the play-offs in preference to Cooper
and Beradi. Whether it would have changed the result I don't know but Cooper
and Beradi (and Casilla) were a mess for that match.
It's obvious that Pontus is his own man and does things that annoys others and
you can see Bielsa not liking that so it's no surprise that he's been moved on.
I think it's a decent price because I think Jansson's fitness and injuries will
become more of a problem.
The obvious worry is where is the replacement ? We wait for news of transfers
in but why do I think they might not be any. Just announcement of contract
renewals.

Not that fussed about Jansson leaving. I was never quite taken in by his
self-publicity, and I can easily imagine that he could be a disruptive
influence behind the scenes. I really hope that part of letting him go is
that they reckon Strujik is ready to step in.
On another note, though, I find it extremely vexing to learn that the top 2
earners at the club (with whom Phillips quite justifiably wants parity) are
Casillas and Bamford on 30 k per week. I'd happily see either of them sent
out the door and have their wages switched to KP.
