He left Leeds United behind, but still wants the Whites to do well.

Leeds United can only wonder what might have happened if Samu Saiz had stayed at the club for the whole season.

Would the talented attacker have given Leeds the impetus they lacked to seal automatic promotion?

Leeds are now attempting to go up through the play-offs after a third placed finish.

Saiz showed this weekend that he still cares, with a message to the club ahead of their play-off semi-final first leg away to Derby.

Saiz’s message generated mixed responses, from some fans glad he still cared, and others annoyed that he was not there playing a part.

He left on loan in January to join Spanish side Getafe, requesting to return to his homeland for personal reasons.

Leeds won the first leg against Derby 1-0, putting them in pole position to reach the play-off final, where they would face the winner of Aston Villa and West Brom.
