It seems to be that Leeds buy players at the going rate then loan or sell them at a loss all because the player is unsettled, what are we to be cut price players club or has Radz got money to give away, perhaps come January he will give some way in the market.

6 million is double what we paid for him, but even that is not the point . Trust Bielsa and the club to make the best decision in the circumstances . If we had forced him to stay, he wouldn’t have been worth playing. It might be wrong, we might feel he’s let us down but I suspect we thought getting rid was best for the team. We don’t want to let this derail us . If anyone is the guilty party here it’s Saiz, no one else!

Whiteman Since when has 6 been less than 3? Last high profile player we sold was for 15 (million) and we bought him for 3 (million) .

Here is a bean. Here is another bean. If you add them together, you get? A very small casserole?

Are you a highly critical Leeds fan who just so happens to be utterly awful at mathematics or is it all just simply woven into your super personality?

Saiz cost just under £3m, so we doubled our money.

we may of made money but still a bad deal, he is thought of as one the best in the league (to quote sky sports pundit) and scouted by Spurs as a potential eriksen replacement (ok he didn't make the grade but still) and was on valencia's radar. Also a bad move for him as think he could of done better.

I worry this all ties in with Rads other firm being skint? Was saiz really unhappy? why did we sell veria? where is the money going into buying players? all puts me slightly on edge

On another note, George who gives you the right to be so disrepectful and rude to people. White Woman. it ain't clever or funny and just rude.

you need to learn some respect as comments like that are really not welcome here and on this site. this is a great site full of great people. We do not alll agree but we all have a level or wit and/ or respect so why don't you follow suit.

again all mouth and no trousers as love for you to meet white woman as think he might have something to say about it as well.

again only thing worse than a bully is a bully who can't back it up. Not sure what they call it in Yorkshire but in my neck of the woods, coward comes to mind.

None of us know what really happened. He’s gone and what is important is that it doesn’t effect the team for the rest of the season. He was a very emotional and temperamental player. Perhaps that was why some of the bigger clubs have stayed clear of him. He’s back in Spain where he wants to be and at a better club than he was with in Spain before. He has a real opportunity and I hope he takes it. Let’s get on with supporting the players who wear the shirt and a manager who has worked wonders.

There does seem to be a lot of people on here who use every opportunity to have a go at the club and the board.

I think Bielsas view is clear, if you don’t want to play for the club, go and go quickly so the rest of us who want success can concentrate on achieving it. Any money won or lost on Saiz, pales into insignificance compared with the treasures of the premiership. Don’t let it distract us. Thanks Samu, goodbye, good luck and onward!

Berm You really are a chip short of a happy meal. He expressed his opinion. I expressed mine. His opinion in my opinion disrespectful of Radz and the laws of math. As for your assertion, I'm a coward never heard anything so wrong. What do you expect from me? To post my real name, address, selfie and National Insurance number so everyone can pay me a visit so I can prove my mettle? Some of us aren't plagiarizing playwrights looking to boost ratings. This is a banter site like you said. Suggest you research what banter means. I trust the Eds to decide what's fair and what's not.

Spanish very good point about Saiz attitude and that certainly could of come into play.

I do think you misunderstand 'having a go' and having concerns which may well be ligititmate.

losing a player of saiz quality is understanbly going to distract us but I am sure our distraction will not affect results, as will our positivey or negitiviy lucky for leeds this doesn't affect results in any way. Some leeds fans are understanbly weary and a little unsure of rads.

for me rads has done nothing to ease me and make me think he is great (apart from getting Orta who i always liked and of course MB) he has also done little to be slated for but reports due suggest he is skint and he has let some good players go on the cheap so both positivity and negitivity are understable at this point maybe not negitiviy but certainly caution.

"On the cheap"

£7m for Viera, we paid nowt for him


£6m for Saiz, we paid £3m for him


Neither of those 2 would be in Biesla's starting 11 so I can't see your point


Saiz is wonderful to watch (if you weren't brought up on Kamara, Batty, Jones type midfielders) but for £4.5m I think Forshaw is offering us so much more than Saiz has done.

Now now guys, this is the season of goodwill and all that! We are all Leeds ain't we? . This is a banter site as George says, let's not take or get too personal. This is our platform to have our way of rant and get things off or chest without having to kick the dog. We don't have to agree and none of us are always right, thing I love about this site is reading other Leeds fans views and sometimes willing to change how i see things. Keep the banter coming boys, jokes, pisstakes but let's keep it civil. MOT, Happy Christmas!

Axe I can see point however

Mb said keep veria for another year and we will get 20 million for him (words to that effect) MB also said he advised to keep veria. If you look at going rate of players in Veiras world cup winning sqaud they would be goig for lot more than 7 mill so i think it is fair to say it was cheap deal (as many reprots said)

with saiz 6 mnths ago 10 mill wasnt enough yet now 6 is? i get that situation changed and spanish is probably spot on with mention of saiz attitude but all things considered I think it is fair to say 6 million is cheap deal and we could and should of got more. not the end of the world but at same time is far from ideal

George as for you banter is meant to be funny and/ or witty. your just personal and rude. You attitute and posts to many in here lack respect. As for coward I don't expect national insurance but a real name would be nice, otherwise it could be seen as hiding behind a fake name

mines Michael Head and love to meet up next time i'm in yorkshire,

Calm down guys. I have sent emails in the past which have upset / p1ssed off people and I have been shocked and bothered when I became aware, as that was not my intention. My jocular can be taken as offensive at times, as in postings and emails, due to their brevity, the time can be unclear, not so in a play Berm as you will know. In brief, my guess is that George wishes Whiteman, who himself can come across as hotheaded, no ill will. The Blackadder reference suggests to that it was merely sarcastic humour. Anyhow, calm down chaps and if you ever do meet up, I hope I am there to buy you both a pint, whilst we talk drunken merry nonsense about how Leeds are going to do PSG in the finals. Hoo haa! (Scent of a woman reference) . MOT.

Saiz was not producing the goods in the field. Trying too hard and over complicating his play.
IF he was a potential bad smell in the dressing room sooner gone the better.

18.) 18 Dec 2018
18 Dec 2018 11:00:21
Saiz doesn’t play for Leeds unless the sun is on his back
He was left out as he wasn’t producing
He wasn’t forcing himself back in anytime soon
Move suits all parties and we make a profit on the lad
MB doesn’t want anyone around that isn’t 100% committed
That’d just block the progress of the likes of Clarke and the U23s itching for a chance

Radz uk business arm has no impact on LUFC as they are two separate businesses

Now, if we could all just MOT that’d be great

ALAW.

Well said Mezzer! It’s Christmas, we’re top of the table, we’ve got the best manager and most professional coaching team that we have had for a long time.

I also believe we’ve got a board that want premiership football for the club and are doing the right things do get us there. Lead, follow or get out of the way!


It could be worse we could all be Millwall Fans! I was going to add Leyton Orient Fans but as Bermondsey will know, they are top of the National League. In fact we should support them as well as they are keeping Salford of the top!

Although it sounds a bit like an AA meeting, my name is Sean Williamson, not the Actor who is Shaun. Born, christened, married and buried my grandparents just off the Leeds Road, Shawcross. I can usually be found in the Peacock before a game and quite happy to drink Bermondseys beer.

Merry Christmas.

Its a good job we did not build a team around Saiz because he is gone, good luck to the lad. Yes he was worth more when Valencia came in for him and in the circumstances probably should have sold him for 9mill. If we had sure a lot of people would have been up in arms. Radz can't win either way. Saiz initiated the move for his own best interest and his family, total respect for that. Bw calm yourself down, its football banter not MMA. Sure Whiteman is capable of telling George to pee off.
