Really can't hate them - Byram and Cook particularly and to a certain extent Taylor all did good service for us and were here under the **** storm that was Cellino and Byram and Cook had no idea that a better owner was coming anytime soon. All were offered **** deals so unsurprising they turned them down and then the lovely owner tried to turn the fans against them whilst he pocketed a nice fee for them. Also can't blame them for trying to see if they can make it at the highest level.

People mock Wood for going to Burnley but if he does well for them it doesn't matter if they get relegated or bottom part of the table - he'll get another move to a better premiership team. if he doesn't then he tried, was well paid and goes back to the championship. If I was Wood in current climate I would have stayed at Leeds until the end of the season but I can understand why he went.

Would love to have Byram, Cook and Taylor now with current owner looking after them but now more concerned about us trying to get out of this division so we can keep Saiz, Alioski and Jansson.

Would Byram, Cook or Taylor get into this squad, far less be 1st team starters? I'm not so sure. Taylor couldn't manage to hold down a 1st team berth last season. Cook was always a bit 'exciting but unfinished' for me (& I still don't see an improvement tbh!), & I'm not sure that TC would pick Byram ahead of Ayling, Anita or Berra (but I must confess to being a fan & I'd pick him :D ).

Byram, Cook have gone backwards as never play. Yes richer now & yes Cook did great for the U19s as Skipper winning the world cup but why isnt he getting game time? Still learning his craft but would have done that better actually playing for Leeds. Taylor was decent but as WJ said he couldnt hold his place last season & you have to question his judgement as even Monk knew before the season started last year that he was leaving. Badly advised was Monks term for him. He let us all down. Cook would be in front of Viera but not in front of O'Kane and how Phillips has grown without Cook. Was byram better than Berardi or Ayling? Blaming Cellino is easy but Monk, Taylor both knew a new owner with funds coming in, Wood knew too and he could see what was happening but was lure of cash for him. I wont slag them but I will try and forget them and think everyone else should too

What a strange one, arguably two of our best players last season have left before the window closes, Wood and Green. Usually we would be feeling like it is season over, the pain would be hard to take but at the moment it's more oh well, we'll cope, doesn't really matter that much....

I felt like that before Wood went - goals from elsewhere meant we weren't as reliant on one individual, though at that stage I still had my fingers crossed behind my back. <laugh>

I see plenty of goals coming from Grot as he looks the dogs and was chased by SeriaA & Prem clubs but chose us as he wants to play regular we also have Ekuban who looks decent both these players use speed, power and track back too so hardly replicas of Wood. Not sure if this Swedish striker is coming but if hes a striker not good umbers unless hes a winger then he has fantastic strike rate.

We have goals from Phillips Roofe, Saiz Alioski Hernandez Pennington, Ayling, Jannson, even CBJ .

Wouldn't want either back, we don't need them now.

Byram was a class act for us in difficult times though, I was at ER with my wee girl when we beat Spurs in the cup a few years ago - 2 standout memories, Reg Varney scored and Byram had Gareth Bale in his pocket the whole 90. <laugh>
