Watched Alioski and Saiz torment Stoke earlier today, two players that stood out last season during an underperforming campaign for Leeds. Two match winners with some flair, who combined cost about half of what we got for Brooks. The type of players we should be looking at and scouting ? But 'wage structure' people shout, another excuse for money coming in not being spent.

We were told we didn't need to sell Brooks, so it stands to reason the 12 million quid should be reinvested - especially on a like for like replacement.
