Wober is happily putting himself in the shop window now.

We never really got to see his worth as he joined just when things were coming to a head with Marsch.

He looks head and shoulders above most of the players in this league and if he doesn't leave us in January ( I reckon he will find a way out) he will be a huge weapon for us in the second half of the season.

In happy to have him in the team but doubt he has any connection to the club or the fans

It all depends on what's happening behind the scenes. What Wober is saying and what his agent is saying.

My hope is that we can keep him around until the end of the season. He's an important back up for us at CB and with Firpo out for a few weeks is going to get a good run of starts at LB.

Like BB said, i never boo a player or manager, and in Max`s case i`m just glad he is helping us in our push for promotion. From the videos and pictures he seems to be a happier chap than he was when he came back. Whether that`s down to getting more game time, feeling more like he is accepted in the squad or something else i just don`t know. But for now he is doing well, so the longer that goes on the better for all concerned.
Wouldn't it be funny if he left in the January transfer window :lol: :lol:

One in one out at a similar level. Reserve CB

Can't say anything bad or nice about Wober. Best for all parties.

I thought giving them £3.9m to take him was quite cheap. 😁

Another player that didn't want to stay and help us get back up. Won't be missed...

Wober on his way to Werder Bremen on loan (with option to buy) for the 2025/26 season

It is pretty bleak reading when you consider how much we spent on defenders when we were last in the prem and the level of loss incurred. Of all the signings we made across that whole period we made a profit on three of them that I can recall. Summerville and Raph were fairly substantial. Geo was moderate.

It would be interesting to know the actual total loss. Whilst it could be considered paltry in comparison to other clubs. The level of debt incurred has been compounded by relegation.

Hopefully better times ahead.

Wober loaned for PSR reasons, as we couldn't attain the fee we wanted.

A good move for Wober. And good for Leeds to move him out. Max isn't suited for the Premier League in my view. He's not physical enough and doesn't have any pace. His game is much better suited to the Bundesliga.

the stupidity of PSR rears its stupid head again. Better to loan a player out for this season and next and then have him leave on a free rather than sell him and get some actual money.

Another over-priced Orta signing. Makes you wonder if the selling clubs gave him a cut of the transfer fee......

Signed for £11m on a 4.5 year contract, with 2 years left, he's on our books for £4.8m. Great business that, halving the value of a player in two and a half seasons.

Assume the option to buy next summer is in the region of £2.5 million then.

Was this guy one of Orta's as well signed for the Premier? I will bet £1 to 1p that every single one of these new incoming by Farke, are better than Llorente, Koch and Wober put together, and if we can swap Struik for Solomon with Levy, well, I will be a happy bunny wabbit.

Well, it's like having a car on the drive that you no longer are going to use. You can keep servicing it and don't take it on the road at all or you can get someone else to pay that, Road Tax and insurance and let them run it. Ultimately all you'll have left is sommat that is scrap value :(

Can't see us getting any transfer fee at all for him - any potential buyer has us over a barrel

It's one of those things which, even if you could bottom out the numbers, is academic and not worth getting into a lather about. Water under the bridge and you have to move on I'm afraid
