News is coming out that Simon Grayson is swooping to sign Darren O'Dea on a season-long loan from Celtic. O'Dea is a defender who spent his last season on loan to fellow Championship side Ipswich Town. The 24 year old centre back from Republic of Ireland is versatile as he can adapt himself to play at left-back.He has had a full pre-season at Celtic but now will be coming south of the border to become United's 4th summer signing, if the deal does go through, it should help sure up last terms leaking Leeds back-line. This deal shows more intent from Grayson and we can hopefully expect one or two more signings. The only issue I see with this transfer is the loan aspect, given our recent track record in the loan market it could be cause for concern, although O'Dea's credentials size up and fans could expect to see him making his debut at Southampton on Saturday, but an appearance against Bradford in the Carling Cup seems more likely.
