Looking at twitter it seems Leeds fans dont think he's been given enough of a chance. When they have seen him, he's got plenty of pace and skill but not much end product. So a typical winger.
Callum Harriot then......?
Speaking to the one and only Leeds bloke I know by text... apparently he spent more time tracking back than he did completing a cross in the couple of games he saw him play.
Basically (Copy and paste job me in bold, him in italic)) What's this Botaka like? Any good? 'He looked a decent player, deserved more of a chance. Is he a typical modern winger or does he actually try for assists? He's attacking and cuts in to shoot rather than cross. Does he get back to cover and help the defence? He does get back to help out the defence quicker than Dallas, though Dallas tackles, Botaka seemed to just stay tight to the man he closed down. Would he be a decent loan? He'd do very well in league one but I only saw him two or three times though'
Fair player Dazzler, he sounds OK for our level, and with all new players I like to see them in the flesh 2 or 3 times before passing comment. I hope he starts on Saturday if he's match fit. Cheers
Magennis i think would a good signing, we have 2 potential good goalscorers already so someone coming in who is a bit more industrial isnt a bad thing! As for the winger i havent heard or seen much of him but fingers crossed!!
Temper any excitement at possible signings with the knowledge that they like to have more going out than in. Lookman and Tex off this week too? Then back to still needing 4/5 to have a decent sized squad
Seen Botaka a few times. Decent player. Quick, skilful and exciting. Things never really took off for him but personally surprised to see Leeds let him go and think he'd do very well with us. Just what we need.

Just got to hope Leeds aren't expecting him to be coming back into their team later on this season!

If he does well for us then you can bet they will want him back! Might need a kick up the arse to motivate him but worth a punt imo.

Leeds fan at work on Botaka: 'Unfit, overweight, out of shape. Not even good enough for League Two anymore. Good luck '
Exciting.
To be fair, when I've seen him he's looked decent.

OR
Botaka and Magennis
