where's the joy Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Ok i grant you the Cheltenham Races "Pissgate" hiatus didn't reflect well on our club but selling Luke Ayling for 750k and replacing him with inferior players like Hunt at 1.8M has been madness he was outstanding yesterday on behalf of a gritty cynical Leeds effort and comfortably their MoM. (Bailey-Wright being my City MoM, but out of a poor, poor team effort) Ayling's weight of touch our team just couldn't emulate and we as usual only put in any concerted pressure for 30 min's or so Will we ever shake off our inferiority complex and go at teams from the off? ps just got back from greg good ridge's homeland and what do i see but this nice little bar, but sadly a reminder that we are still Little Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelksRed Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 And his 1 minute time wasting throws were in the spirit of the game? For me a MOM should be the epitome of fair play, adhering to the rules and sportsmanship..... Ayling blatantly assisted Leeds in cheating their way through the second half.....not for me.

Until you have referees who are strong enough to stop the time wasting it will carry on including from our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Only 2 weeks ago Leeds fans were calling for him to be dropped. Not surprised that he raised his game against us and if they go up I couldn’t see him getting many games. He did well for us but even now I wouldn’t have him back.

He would be LJ’s perfect RB in the current system. We won’t ever get him back, but imho we should’ve never let him go. 12 minutes ago, JonDolman said: He had a very good game. Don't get what was wrong with selling him, his contract was running down. Did we not offer him a new deal? Yes he played well yesterday, but he certainly wasn't playing well for us before we sold him. Matthews was first choice while on loan, and Little was ahead of him too wasn't he? Think you’re thinking of Freeman. Ayling has a year to go, but LJ told him he wouldn’t play all the time with Matthews and Little. Freeman went in the January with 6 months left and wouldn’t sign a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Loved the bloke when he was here and thought he was excellent yesterday. No doubt there was lots of example of him pushing the rules slightly, but, just like Cunningham, he was exactly the same when he played for us so I feel it’s a bit rich to get upset about it when he’s doing it for the opposition. I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else on the forum, but I thought this tweet from Pontus Jansson was interesting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it frustrate us? I said ages ago that it was a dumb decision to sell him and my mate who is a Leeds fan has loved him from the moment he arrived. Says he works really hard, gets stuck in, gives his all for the club and he would "love more like him". As much as people want to complain about him time wasting, playing up etc that's the referees job to deal with that and can anyone name a single Premier League team who doesn't have someone similar. Plenty of our fans said he wasn't good enough to play Championship footbal when he was here and next season he could be playing in the Premier League. It's not the first time our fans have been wrong and bitter about a player who's left us and it won't be the last. He's better than any of our RB options and if you offered me Wright or Ayling as RB I'd bite your hand off to get Ayling. End of the day he's moved on, he's improved, he's picked up the Leeds attitude of win at all costs and it's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Ayling was class for us. Pretty sure that his time was marked here from the point LJ arrived... as were all Cotts’ players pretty much. Sad really. That promotion squad needed very little adjustment.

Spoons Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I think people forget that Luke ayling wanted to move to Leeds United!! In hindsight it wasn't our best buisness but at the time we had Adam Matthews playing well and keeping him out of the team and his contract was running down and he received an offer from a bigger club earning more money. Yesterday I thought he was like a little kid. His diving was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I thought he was like a little kid. His diving was embarrassing. Who wouldn’t want a move to a “bigger club” after being given no assurances about his future here. First thing Pembo did in his caretaker spell was put him at RB in a 442 v Boro. Pretty clear, club wanted him gone. Much as I love Litts, you don’t bring back Matthews on loan, and keep both Litts and Ayling. My biggest gripe is that we only got £750k for him....that was not great negotiating from MA. He was like a little kid yesterday, winds me up, but he had a better game than any City player yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Ayling was great for us and always gave 100%. A lot of bitter fans on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcliffe1990 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'd rather have grounded intelligent people at the club, who work hard of course, but Ayling's no loss for me. Prefer Pisano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodridgeandGoater Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 We should’ve got more money for Ayling. When we sold him Johnson said something like well he’s not really a centre back or a right back at the moment and is good as a third centre back, but in our system the place for him isn’t really there. But now he’s one of the best right backs in the championship. Poor bit of business but perhaps more than a little of the Cheltenham Races behind it.

Red-Robbo Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Ayling had a great game, particularly when an out-of-position Semenyo was trying to stop his runs. He should've been booked for the most pathetic dive I've seen since Pogba visited. Early second half, in front of the Dolman. I imagine he went to Leeds because they could pay him more money. That's the way in football, as it is in all other jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
