Player of the decade

Who’s your player of the decade ? Mine probably just Jermaine Beckford.

On his day Saiz for me, followed by Pablo and Beckford.

I’m also for Pablo, but a tricky question :?:
Perhaps we could make a poll similar to the MOM? And by “we” I mean a member with that kind of skills :D

Not an easy question but i'll join those voting for Pablo.

Honourable mentions to Snoddy, Beckford, Chris Wood & Kisnorbo.

Hernandez or Snodgrass for me. I considered Beckford, but then realised he only played for us for 6 months of the decade haha.

Saiz, without doubt, definitely one of the best players I have seen in the flesh playing for Leeds, but he wasn’t here long enough.

Like others, I’ll have to go for Pablo for sheer consistency of performance if nothing else.

Problem is as soon as we got a decent player they were whisked off to higher echelons:

Kasper Schmeichel was pretty impressive when he was with us.

Chris Wood took some time to win fans over, but he was an excellent striker of a ball, especially penalties.

I thought Lewis Cook made some magic passes, but was surprised to see his Wiki entry only shows one goal in 80 appearances for us - surely the screamer against Fulham wasn't his only one?

OK Saiz wasn't filched by a Premiership team, but it's a shame he couldn't adjust to life in northern England as opposing players couldn't get near him sometimes.

So I'm going with the flow for the player only recently was described as 'Premiership quality', Pablo.
Might have to take an interest in the Premier League now....
