A lot of fans going to turn on him after this, which is a shame because he's been immense for us at times. Shotton, Makoudi and Fry as the CB options now. Brutal. we offered him a brilliant contract in Jan but he wanted to explore his options Link to post Share on other sites

Boro knew theyd have to spend at least that contract value trying to get someone in, so they offered him good money to save them trying to draft someone decent in. I had good info on this. Whether things changed with this whole situation im not in the know, but knew for a fact in Jan this is what they put on the table and he still wouldnt take it Link to post Share on other sites

Football fans surely aren’t that fickle are they? From a football fans perspective, it will be he should stay and fight for the team etc etc. However in his shoes it must be to look after himself and his family. Once the decision has been made, he should be told not to come near the club again this season, shake his hand and wave him off. It wont help with him being there whilst the other players need to get their heads down. Link to post Share on other sites

I got told only Howson (depending on division we are in) and Friend were the only players, but Marv may come into that equation now because I think he's had a decent season (which is very worrying!) Best thing our hierarchy have done in a long time! Link to post Share on other sites

BoroJake 2,331 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Why does Ayala want to play on the bench for Leeds at his age anyway? He won’t be a first team player 1 Link to post Share on other sites

thatoldchestnut 583 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The sooner we get these 9 games over and done with the better. Then we can try and get a squad of players together that actually want to play for the club and are in contract. Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Disappointed but not surprised by Ayala news. @Tarmo. I dont think 2 out of 3 of Fry, Moukoudi and Shotton is that bad. Even if we go to 3 at the back. Obv Ayala is our best CB but calling them 3 centre backs as being a "brutal" choice is harsh imo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
