    Did his best, wasn’t always good enough.
    2 promotions though and some good memories.
    Not sure I’m happy about how he’s being despatch. Maybe deserved a better goodbye.

    Scored some tremendous goals...but the many easier misses will always be hard to forget. Top marks for his work ethic though, as he usually busted his butt for the team !

    He and many others lost me with the "taking the knee" nonsense. Virtue signalling hypocrisy with a holier than thou BS attitude irks me. His woke opinion is so more insightful than mine, because he's a footballer?? No! I cheered for his goals but I groaned louder for his incredible misses. I wish him well, but thankfully it's gonna be somewhere else

    Clumsy player who tried to influence a game but perhaps failed more times than he succeeded. I?ll remember him most for getting our fans up for singing Wilder is a ****er.

    Sad he leaves in this way but football is such a stark and brutal business these days that it doesn?t surprise me that players behave like the commodities they are.

    I?m still waiting to give Pablo a proper send off. A fabulous player who we miss the likes of so much.

    I sincerely wish him well. 👍

    Far too intelligent to be a footballer, imo.
    His personna did not bode well with his available footballing skills often creating a detrimental emotional outcome, making his intelligence a double-edged sword, imo.

    Could have been a gilded lilly type if not for those horrendous injuries inflicted upon his ectomorphic limbs which tall lean folks with low body fat are prone to cos they lack the muscle mass & fat for shock absorption required for joint support.

    Great under Marcelo who understood how to get the best out of him tactically, physically & mentally, 'tho.

    Marcelo knew how to get the best out of most players, and often did.

    Yep every season under Bielsa he improved and added something to his game.

    Was never 100% convinced by him to perform when it mattered or to stay fit but in the first promotion and then thr first season back in the PL he gave us some great moments.

    Be interesting where he ends up next. Wouldn?t surprise me to see him in France or MLS.

    Opportunity cost - A text book example

    Never my first choice and I think we missed out some solid options over the years as well as internal. Never could figure out Nketia is sitting and he?s missing sitter after sitter.
    Who comes to Leeds knowing they are sitting behind him?

    His injury prone nature made it impossible for a coach to build a squad around him

    MT is right. He?s very sharp and will do very well in the booth or business if goes that route. A good guy.
