If a player wants to leave Leeds United then the best thing for the club is to let them go. You need to have players with the right mentality. But as a player you have to respect the club that is paying you. Sometimes a player can have the right reasons for wanting to leave, but in many cases the players are just crying. I do also think that if the players come back, they can still change the supporters’ feelings towards them if they come back with the right mentality. I’m happy I never wanted to leave on loan.
