We never replaced him with anyone who was remotely as intelligent on the pitch. That through ball for Dallas to score without even breaking his stride! The failure to replace him is one reason why we've ended up getting relegated. Aaronson wasn't fit to clean his boots. One of my favourite players.

Thought he was a poor signing, but proved to be the best of signings.

I'll never forget those no look upfield passes in Bielsa era, football genius!

I think it was the Leicester game at home, I think he hit the bar and was taken off around the hour mark…he wasn’t happy, threw the black armband and seemed to be on the wrong side of Bielsa thereafter. Shame, he still had more in the tank…great player! Possible future coach at Leeds?

The Magician has played his last trick. A standout player and individual in our history. So much to love about him, the nutmegs, the first-time passes over the top, the pinpoint defence-splitters, and the goals, but most of all, the way he brought Bielsa’s vision into wonderfully sharp relief. We are blessed to have had him on our books for as long as we did.

One of our greats and we didn't even have him at the height of his powers!
Wonderful player who was pretty much impossible to replace.

Thank you Pablo. Forever in a fond place in my memory.

In the last decade, how many of our players have earnt the fans’ unanimous respect? Very few, and I’d put Pablo at the very top of our ‘revered’ list. He’s another example of how experience wins over youth and that’s why we need to bring in some older heads who, as far as the Championship goes, have been there, done that. Meanwhile, thanks for everything you’ve done for us Pablo. You’ll always be welcome at Elland Road.
