Leeds must rue selling “outstanding” star who won the Premier League
Leeds United must regret offloading this eventual Premier League title winner.
Leeds United will be fearing its not their season anymore to win promotion straight back up to the Premier League after a car-crash display against Queens Park Rangers last time out has now shattered all confidence in West Yorkshire.
The Whites were humiliated by Marti Cifuentes’ Hoops instead of making it back-to-back wins in the Championship, the R’s resoundingly beating Leeds 4-0 at Loftus Road as Daniel Farke’s men trudged off the field in dire spirits at the end after being trounced.
Illan Meslier was the main Leeds player to be criticised in the scathing aftermath of this humbling loss on the road, the leaky Leeds goalkeeper conceding four in West London after shipping three the game prior away at Middlesbrough.
Leeds’ woes between the sticks must leave them full of regret about how they treated one former shot-stopper, who was offloaded to Leicester City in 2011 for just £1.25m and ultimately ended up never looking back.

The Danish ‘keeper is known today as being a reliable pair of gloves, most commonly associated with the Foxes who he appeared for a staggering 479 times before parting ways in 2022 for OGC Nice to break a more than decade-long connection.
