These Leeds United fans slate Helder Costa’s recent form for the Peacocks after the 26-year-old failed to score or assist against Queens Park Rangers.
Helder Costa joined the Whites on an initial one-year loan deal, but the move will become permanent in the summer for an undisclosed fee according to the Peacock’s official website. However, according to Leeds Live, the transfer and loan fee is understood to be approaching £15m.
The 26-year-old has played 28 times for Leeds, with 18 of them being starts. Costa has also averaged a WhoScored rating of 6.59/10 across these outings.
Here are some of the comments from the Leeds fans on Twitter:

Hasn’t shown he’s worth £15m yet!

Overated, wolves have had our pants down, yet another disastrous transfer costing us millions

Waste of space

15 million…!
Overhyped and not delivering— JSL (@LUFCracing) January 20, 2020

Rubbish

Is Helder Costa a waste of money?
Yes
No
These Leeds fans clearly don’t believe Helder Costa is worth any fee. The 26-year-old has a Transfermarkt value of £10.80m and has scored three times in the Championship this season.
Gutted to think we looked at Bowen and him and picked costa, shown glimpses but not consistent enough for me, needs to step up big time to justify price tag

Not good enough for the 15 million we’re obligated to pay.

What Do We Think?
Clearly Costa has some work to do, scoring just three goals in 28 matches was never going to impress anyone. We feel that Costa is still trying to find his feet at Leeds United, so maybe the Peacocks fans shouldn’t be as hard on him?
