I think the point here should be that Wise seems to know what he is doing/what he wants.
I don't think we would have sold Killa if either he himself didn't want to go OR Wise thought the TEAM would benefit from him being in it. I suspect, had we been mid table/safe from relegation that Wise wouldn't have agreed to the sale. I suspect, that as we are not, that Wise sees the benefit of the money we get for Killa being spent on 2 or 3 new players - be that transfer fees and/or wages. Quite simply, I suspect that Killa was a luxury we couldn't afford. Wise is trying to put together a fit/quick battling SQUAD, so comparing Killa to any individual is moot. What you should instead do is say Killa = Heath, Sa, Elliot, Flo... Would I rather have Killa in the side/squad with Butler/Gregan, or no Killa but Flo, Sa, Elliot & Heath? Most of our problems have been with the lack of decent competition in the squad, I would suggest that the average quality of our squad and defence in particular has risen dramatically since Wise came in. Of course, not every signing he makes will work, but he has to do/try something doesn't he, cos before he came we were shipping an average of 3+ goals a game, playing shite and there wasn't any sign of improvement or light at the end of the tunnel. In an ideal world we could have kept Killa, but I personally rue the sale of Milner and Lennon a hundred times more. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
