Excellent read, I would rather he never played again for our club again, sad situation that should of been handled better and he could of left on good terms like most of our players

No mention of Tarkowski , who pissed me of again the other day when I saw he’d given away a penalty that gave Leeds a win. However on seeing it I don’t think I’d have given a penalty.
I’d put Wissa out on loan at our Spanish lower level side .

Interesting read here about Wissa’s agent, if he’s still got the same one!

Betrayal hurts at any level or league. It’s worse in/for a club, where loyalty, badge, family… and contracts (lol !) should mean something. I still root for Raya, Ivan, Thomas and Mbuemo. Not Wis. Don’t want him back on the pitch for us; hoping Saudi pops in with cash or the BFC kit man needs an apprentice. Sad. Insulting.
