Said it when he left but what an absolute steal we got getting 10m for him! One trick pony who thinks he is Ronaldo.
Absolute pish

One trick pony and once defenders realised that after he initially burst onto scene he had nothing to offer.Quote:

Great business for us as you say but shame he didn’t kick on
Aye, wish he'd really kicked on. I've been desperate for our academy to produce a quality attacker. We do well in central mids and defenders but attackers we seem to never really produce anyone of great quality since our PL days
Yeah me too would be great to have three or four home grown stars in key positions.
I think it was the name that gave me hope when he first appeared on the scene. Good business though, I read recently Leeds were one of the leading teams in respect of monies earned in the transfer market over I think the last five years, which is some accolade when you think most of the time was in the Championship. Includes wood to Burnley, which helped the balance
If we hadn't been horribly mismanaged for most of the past 10 years we'd have made a fortune, just off top of my head I can think of Gradel, Snodgrass, Howson, Johnson, Beckford, Becchio, Taylor, Byram, Cook, Mowatt we've all lost for pennies or on frees because of contract situations.Quote:
