Is it me or are many of our fans starting to lose patience with Samuel Saiz and the way he is acting?
Certainly, it’s becoming more and more frequent where the Spaniard is throwing strops and looking frustrated instead of putting his considerable talent to good use.
Indeed, when he started the season we thought we had one of the best players in the league at the club but he’s gradually become more ineffective and I’d say that mentally he clearly needs to strengthen.
Let’s take a look at what a few are saying about him, then, after West Yorkshire Sport threw the question out there as to whether fans would sell or not…

If he stopped running down dead ends. Passed the ball to obvious players all around him. Stopped appealing for free kicks every time he falls over. Defended properly rather than trying to pull players over in box. And took valid criticism a little more manfully- Yeah keep him.

Spot on. Looks like he has a chip on his shoulder from kick off

Don't care about his tantrum, should we keep him based on what he's done for us this season…. destroying Newport at home in carobob cup doesn't quite cut it for me!

Def keep him. Tantrum or not at least he showed a desire to want to play and give is all.

He just needs managing.

First time I’ve been to ER in years and this lad stood out for all the wrong reasons, playing for free kicks, whinging, moaning and not very good. Someone e mentioned sell him for £15/20m – has the world gone mad???

Keep

The Verdict
It seems a few would let him go, then, but personally I’d keep him.
I do think he needs to sort himself out and work on his mentality but he can be a very good player and in the right frame of mind he’ll win us games.
Let’s hope he can address the way he approaches things.
Thoughts, Whites? Let me know!
