Yes….but can’t promise what would happen to him 🤔
Wober signed a deal to be a Leeds player until his contract expired, so he's worthy of playing for Leeds now. Should be a good player at this level
Many of us dislike players that appear to turn their backs on our club. The same applies to Aaronson, but
they may have regrets and seen the error of their ways. And it could be a blessing in disguise for Leeds.
Never been bothered by ‘the rats’. The club put contractual clauses in that more than halved salaries on relegation. They were designed to ‘push’ players out to save money. We’re fans so it’s easy to say we’d play for free. They’re not - in their shoes most of us would do the same.
Back to Wober. Good footballer - certainly at this level. Plenty of experience at left back…. But he’s clearly a natural centre back and his lack of pace will be exposed by quality wingers. If he plays tomorrow, in Ben Doak, he’ll face the championship’s trickiest winger so will be a test… Hopefully not an ordeal.
Never thought he was that bad...Hope Byram can come back too as backup !!

Glad we have Wober! Firpo, Byram, and Schmidt all injured. I suppose Struijk could fill in at LB, if Amps is fit enough to cover at CB.

Absolutely 👍.. Beckford a very good player for us for those couple of seasons - the question is would a prime beckford be even good enough to play ?
Kewell?… he was actually who I had in my mind when I said ‘when I was younger I held a grudge’ probably still hold onto that for Kewell tbh.
A prime Alan Smith! I’d have him back too… tho personally I’d have preferred to have seen in the Bielsa years… because I’m convinced he’d play MBs version of a 9 to perfection.. which defender would want smithy chasing you down at full pelt ? 😱
Lee Chapman comes to mind....or Becchio
By the way I suppose the 2-2 draw W.B./S.U. was not a bad result for us.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So who would you pick of the two to handle Doak tomorrow…Wober or Byram? I feel Wober, being a centre back, would provide greater physicality against Doak to muscle him off the ball, so I would go with him.

Great comment, Milky. Football is a business for clubs and players alike. If a player has a relegation clause, don't blame him for leaving as he did. The responsibility was with Orta and Kinnear.
As for Doak, maybe Willy can leave an early calling card? He is a talent, for sure.
Sorry, Great comments, both of you!

Snow, I'm not overly sure BEckford would even start for us tho...
I think MRU was joking also, as I'm well known to have an issue with Beckford ... having said that I think MRU missed exactly why
always said Beckford a great player for us at that time.. scored some very important goals... my issue with Beckford is how he goes about his 'love for Leeds' these days, as a pundit... its cringy at best.... I just can't take to it... the way he carry's on you'd think he played for us all his career, and the fans buy it too... I listen to him sometimes and I'm like mate you played for us for 5 minutes and left on a free
Wöber was one of the players that I thought held PL standard, when he played for Leeds in that division.
One of the few in the backline

I know what you mean. I find a lot of what he says a bit cringe. His ‘banter’ is cringe too.
But I think he does genuinely have affection for Leeds, good memories, success and most of all Leeds changed his life. Plucking him from nowhere. I think that’s what makes the difference.
I also think he comes across as a decent bloke.
He just lays it on a bit thick for his media persona

Decent enough for the prem. Great level to have on the bench in the Championship.
Not as good as some hyped though and a fair bit behind Struijk for me
