Sampdoria have tabled a multi-million pound bid for Ronaldo Vieira and the right course of action from Leeds would be to accept it.

The Yorkshire Evening Post and Phil Hay have run this story and, personally, I think it is time we let the player go:

Make no mistake, I think he could be a real star and I like him a lot but, at the same time, he does not appear at the forefront of Bielsa’s plans.

Indeed, though I think he could be good, there’s also a good case to suggest that he’s not consistent enough to really make it at the top and if the bid is well in the millions, we should accept.

It’s not like he’s proven himself year in year out. He had a good campaign under Monk but struggled last season and therefore we wouldn’t be definitely making a mistake here.

Sometimes, you’ve got to go on what you know instead of predicting the future and though I’ll be sad to see him go, it is the right thing to do.
