So here’s a question for you all, there are quite a few posts regarding Siaz being sold, but after reading these posts and thinking about Siaz, the question for me is, where would he go and what type of team would want him? IMO I really can’t see him cutting it in The Premiership, I don’t know why and it is just my opinion, so what team or league would you think he would go to?

23 Mar 2018 03:47:07
We need funds. If radz has got them then keep him. If he hasn't and can't find investors then we need to sell either pint or saiz or both to raise funds. I think saiz is our best player and does well ( apart from last few games ) in a very bad team. He is always looking to attack and create. He sticks out like a sore thumb most games. Better players need to be put in to help him. I think he would survive in prem. i'd rather sell pont to be honest. Defenders are easier to replace than good attacking mids.

Would we get any money if Danny rose left Tottenham, do we have a sell on clause ?

{Ed001's Note - you don't need a sell-on clause, all the teams that he spent time at as a youngster get a share of 5% of any transfer fee.}

Aus Your login has been hacked by a more knowledgeable poster. I agree with his view 😁

Was going to say the same about yours georgie. You must be way too old to know what a hadhtag is? And the fact that i'm making sense is further proof.

23 Mar 2018 10:01:46
Definitely keep Saiz, get a decent attack around him who know how he plays and that'll be magical to watch.

Mallik Wilkes back from injury banging em in at Grimsby. After losing your brother, respect to you. One more vying for that striker role next year?

22 Mar 2018 20:57:20
Aye. Good on the lad, and best of luck to his family.

22 Mar 2018 22:55:52
Totally with you in that one, for what he’s been through he deserves every success. It will be good to see him back at ER.

23 Mar 2018 20:37:25
He's hardly been "banging 'em in at Grimsby" to be honest. I know he's a Leeds lad and his family history but let's be honest about him.

So on Boxing Day we won 4 in a row and sat 5 points off automatic. There was a lot of excitement that we could push on and even get top two. Since then, we've won 1 game in 3 months. So what went wrong? Answers on a postcard.

22 Mar 2018 11:44:42
Postcard done, where do I send it? What is the prize for the best answer and when’s the draw?

22 Mar 2018 12:05:07
Lucas, save your stamp. This is one where there is no right answer. Hopefully we may all wake up and find it's all just been a bad, bad dream.

22 Mar 2018 15:30:23
I reckon if we could all provide a coherent answer to that, we wouldn't be on here, as we'd all REALLY be the best managers in the world! ? ! ?

22 Mar 2018 17:40:27
Brighty in my head I am the best manager in the world. Just waiting for the call.

22 Mar 2018 21:07:02
Lucas. It's : "Take Hart, BBC TV ctr, PO Box 1, LUTV. " I'd attach a painting too, as it might appear in "The Gallery". with morph, or on blue peter.

Strongest overall leeds team at the start of next season IMO: BPF, Coyle, Ayling, Jansson, Bera, Klich, Forshaw, Saiz, Dallas, Grot, Alioski. This is on the basis that hernandez doesn't sign, because as it stands he hasn't and we won't have him next year, however, if he does, swap him for alioski. i'd like to see wied, lonergan, cooper, de bock, anita, okane, sacko, cibicki, saiz, roofe, all leave leeds. they're not good enough to make it to the prem so send them back away abroad somewhere i don't care where, just need good quality in our ranks now. only exception is saiz, hwo i think would be better off being sold, don't see him being positive with leeds for some reason, see another injury or suspension coming his way early doors, just after the window shuts, and leeds having not enough back up. Get him out and sign the following: ward, bartley, haidara, goncalves, 1 experienced goalscorer, 1 like marriott, oztumer, and dack. Then imo your best team would be: ward, ayling, bartley, jansson, haidara, forshaw, klich, goncalves, hernandez, oztumer, marriott subs: BPF, coyle, pearce, vieira, dack, grot, dallas. not sure where this leaves alioski, phillips, ekuban etc and its all very hypothetical, but to me they've killed this season, so they may as well start preparations for next and get it right and the second time of asking. whoever plays for leeds, no 1 man is bigger or better than the club, saiz is a good player, but he's made out to be better than he is due to the lack of good players we've had in an attacking aspect in recent years. the last attacker that got as much praise as him was probably mccormack.

A bit of light the blue touchpaper there Samo. Sell Saiz, really? Well okay then if you want to be radical. How about, sell Pontus? The thinking there is that we potentially have 5 Centrebacks, O'Connor, Struijk, Shaugnessy Rey (orig position was CB) and Ayling all vying for a first team spot. That's without looking at incomers. If we can get bug bucks for Pontus it would leave us free to fill a gap elsewhere. As you say Samo this is hypothetical and to a certain extent dependent on playing some of the young guns at the end of this season, see what they're like. PS I like Samu, so the only way I would countenance his sale is again big big bucks. He sees things others are sometimes not skillful enough to capitalise on. Get a forward with vision and a good first touch and he/we will be away.

22 Mar 2018 11:12:30
Saiz is one of our very few good players. Cannot help but worry that if we lose them, we may well not also be able to offload the driftwood who are on long term contracts and end up buying players, who may or may not work out, to replace our good stuff, leaving us with an even cr@pper team than we have now. I hope that we keep the wheat and work out a way to get some poor fools at other teams to pay for our chaff. That said, I wonder how many other teams would have an Orta running the rule over our for sale players. On another note, as someone on here mentioned recently, amazing how much of our chaff becomes someone else's wheat. Not making the most of what we have got by al bloody long way.

22 Mar 2018 12:38:14
Some good points to consider! I think most of us would agree Pontus and Siaz are our best players. For me the hellish loss of form comes from within the club, the team isn’t a team, a unit playing for each other with the confidence and mentality they are the best, unbeatable. Players getting sent off you could almost put your wages on it happening, a poor choice in captain, the players are clearly frustrated as the starting eleven has no consistency. Players getting injured, do they really want to play? It’s no surprise if they don’t as we fans don’t help, look at okane he’s gone from hero to being a nervous wreck when he gets the ball, makes errors he didn’t before and picks up red cards. We get on players backs without any mercy. I would want away if that was happening to me. I agree with giving the youngsters a run in the team, nothing to lose. Worked for O’Leary ! Just sharing thoughts, not saying I’m right by any means.

22 Mar 2018 14:01:50
If Jansson and Siaz are sold that tells me and should tell you all you we are a selling club and a feeder club we will never win promotion trying to rebuild constantly in the summer with cheap sub standard players until Mr or Mrs billionaire walks into our club expect more misery in the mid to lower reaches of the league regardless who's manager.
