TC let the players choose the captain. Everyone thought it was weak, I said it was strong, it was inspired management.

Always welcome at Leeds in my opinion."

And I thought it better the players voting for their choice than when someone gets put before them that not everybody agreed with!..

All went downhill after Saiz got banned for spitting. We had a good side that season and played some lovely stuff. 4 reds in 4 games I think

Berardi
Cooper
Phillips
Saiz

I admit it’s only with the benefit of hindsight, but Saiz going was possibly the start of our downward trajectory.

Saiz was terrible

He was seriously good when he first joined. Absolutely terrorised the league. Was a bad apple attitude wise.

You should take up knitting mate

Don’t need to see through the eye of a knitting needle to see the player was a lot of fluff, no substance and a poor team player.

If he is a good player then why did he come from the segunda league Huesca, and then end up back in the segunda at Girona. No real surprise that when Girona got promoted Saiz was dumped and now playing in a poor side in Turkey 😂

Hardly terrible. Probably our best player for a season at least. Just didn't have the right attitude which seems to have blighted his career.

All I know is I cherish the memories of those first 5 games of Bielsa's reign, arguably the best football seen home and away by Leeds fans at that time that took everyone's breath away. Saiz was part of that swashbuckling midfield 4 of Pablo, Klich and Alioski with KP behind and Roofe up top... we absolutely terrified sides but unfortunately that complete dominance was disrupted first by Pablo's injury and then Roofe got crocked for a while and Foreshaw came in for KP who had to play at CB....We still got some great wins but that initial burst into the limelight again under MB at the beginning of August 2018 was very special.

One of the few if not only Leeds player I really didn't like. Full of tricks and flattered to deceive. Happy when the spitter left.

When I think of Saiz I think of a greedy so and so, he was decent but mostly played for himself!..

Not to fussed when he went but wondered why he blamed his wife!..

And when you think about it, he had about 10 different clubs so seems to be a bit of a footballing gipsy!..
