he was certainly better than anything we have now! I was a fan of his.. second name on the sheet after the GK..(listing form)
I though at the time we were crazy to let him go However, we don't know what was going on behind the scenes so how can we judge ? Maybe Ayling looked at the offer from Leeds United (a Champions League finalist from not that long ago), a huge club with a better manager, and was enticed away If the player wants to leave then there is not much can be done, and we are not taking Georgie Best here. Ayling want a very good player for us, but not a world beater. Having said that, good luck to him, and my best wishes for his future in West Yorkshire because of his honest effort for us. Maybe if we hadn't sold Cotterill (another crazy idea) then he might have stayed
