Dr Balls Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Saw this in the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/dec/30/football-league-team-of-the-decade-schmeichel-sharp Luke Ayling makes it in as right back. Considering he had 2 promotions from League 1 to the Championship in the 2010s and could go one better with Leeds this season, you can understand the reasoning. And we sold him for how much? 750,000? I know there were other circumstances after the Cheltenham episode, but no wonder some view us as small fry compared to Leeds to let him go for quite so small an amount.

Thought he was superb against Birmingham the other day , and rightly credited for his performance by the TV pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 And the most deserving of them all...Chris Basham. If there is one player in the last decade I'd wish we'd bought, it's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote at the time was that they didn't want to stand in his way, and couldn't offer him a better deal or whatever Leeds were offering. Maybe he was superkeen on the move, and Leeds would have been half a step up but with Pi$$Gate I'm sure LJ was keen to be shot. Very disappointed at that time that he left, and he is still to be adaquately replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I must be one of the few who never did, and still don’t, rate him as a right back defensively. On the ball and going forward he is outstanding, but his positioning is so often non existent and his defensive ability isn’t that strong, especially for someone who gets so much praise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
