A group of Leeds United supporters have been discussing who their most disappointing player of the season has been after the question was posed to them on Twitter by @LUFCMOTcom.
Supporters were asked a series of questions, including their favourite players and goals from the season so far. The third of five questions put to the Whites fanbase regarded who they felt was their most disappointing player – and one name was a common feature in the replies.
Here is what some of the Elland Road faithful had to say:

What do we think?
It’s clear from the above responses that many of the Leeds United fans have been disappointed by Helder Costa’s performances this season. The player is currently on loan at Elland Road from Wolverhampton Wanderers but an agreement is in place for the Portuguese winger to join the club on a permanent basis in a deal reportedly worth £15.93m this summer (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
Costa, who is valued at £7.2 million, has made 37 appearances for the Whites in the Championship this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists. His average performance rating so far in the league is an underwhelming 6.67/10 (according to WhoScored.com), so you can therefore understand the frustration within the fanbase.
