Following the rumours, this morning that forward Chris Wood could be on his way out of Elland Road; Leeds fans, as usual, have had their opinion on the matter.
They have taken to Twitter to offer their thoughts on the potential departure of their frontman.
The man at the centre of the rumours, Wood, 25, has been much travelled in his short career so far. He was first brought to the English game by West Bromwich Albion, who had been recommended the New Zealander by Roger Wilkinson. Wilkinson’s recommendation led to a trial being arranged for the forward and he subsequently signed for The Baggies following its conclusion.
He failed to really establish himself at West Brom, however, and his ambitions for first team football saw him endure a number of loan spells away from The Hawthorns.
Despite a strong spell with Brighton – his most notable loan spell came with Millwall, who were playing in The Championship at the time.
He averaged almost one goal in every two games at The Den and those stats alone would have been enough to convince highly ambitious Leicester to take a punt on the forward.
Initially joining Leicester on loan, Wood eventually joined them permanently in 2013 and either side of a loan spell at Ipswich, remained a Leicester player for the following two seasons. It was from there he linked up with Leeds. At the time of his arrival, he became The Whites most expensive signing since Nicky Barmby early in The Millennium.
Now, it looks like he could be set to leave.
Here are a selection of tweets from Leeds fans, expressing their thoughts on the situation.

If Hogan is worth £15m then so is Wood in the current state-of-play. #lufc https://t.co/agFhgfZfM2

Take for example today's nonsense rumour. Sunderland interested in £15m rated Chris Wood.
First of all… FIFTEEN million? #lufc

Pointless selling Chris Wood for any kind of money! We need to keep all current players, there is no need to upset a winning formula #lufc
