Was he worth a million when he went 19 games for Leeds without a goal?
It's all subjective, half a season is way too short a sample period to look at.

You slate Jay and Chops for going to a party and picking up some birds yet Ross was alcholic.
Cant have it both ways.

Polo, Wrong, Jones gave them chance after chance, Ross was never given a proper run again. Jones had his favourites.

We gave him away for less than £300,000.

Take away all the stuff about Ross getting done for drink driving and look at him just as a footballer and in my opinion he did show in his first season with us he was a very decent Championship forward. As a result of that season Hull City offered a few £m for him and that must tell you something.
This season he appears to be back to his best and lets face it 10 goals before the halfway point of the season is a very decent return. To answer your question Annis try and look at how much Leeds Utd now value him as a player and I bet it is far higher than either the £300k - £600k they paid for him.
In my opinion he was a give away to any club who could repair the damage to his confidence he suffered here, Grayson seems to have done that or maybe even Ross himself because without the injury to Bechhio would Grayson even have played him.
I don't know but in my opinion an on form Ross was worth a great deal more than the fee we received for him.![]()

i would have him over earnie every day of the week yes he went of the rails a bit but typically of jones instead of trying to rehabilitate him he puts him in the wilderness.
Why waste time trying to get ross on the right track when you can play 18 holes instead.

Last year he was awful and would have been out of contract anyway, after last season would any of us wanted it extended?

Agreed Annis. The only drink driver that didnt deserve another chance was Lee Hughes because he killed someone at the wheel and drove off. Ross is a talented footballer-I'll never forget his performance v Burnley in the last bank holiday game at NP-his 2 solo goals were pure class.

Ross was only lucky not to kill someone, it was down to luck and who knows what his drunken reaction would have been.

I hate drink drivers Gareth, but look at the drug dealers and Paedos out there as well, our Govt gives them a second chance.

He is a proven goalscorer at our level. Always gave his all.
