Transfer discussion thread

[Jaymin]

I must say I find it amusing that with Alfred, Robert and now Charlie the Leeds supporters used the line "Bielsa personally wanted them and that's good enough for me" and all three to one degree or another have turned out to be complete flops. Robert being held up as a pariah because he played a simple ball sideways to "set up" a goal on the weekend shows how desperate they are to see him as a good signing (ignore that he's been hooked after a half twice).

Maybe Bielsa should stick to managing and not also be a scout.

I presume you are trolling by calling a bloke who has been involved in a few games a flop. And also a bloke who didn’t get past a medical a flop.

Well he's hardly going to be a roaring success.

I'm calling a bloke who has looked so awful whenever he's played that your manager has hooked him after 45 minutes on two occasions - one where he had been subbed on at HT. Your supporters seem to be hanging your hats on a simple sideways pass as if he somehow created your winner against Blades.

Hanging your hat on a defensive substitution in a 1-0 win in injury time. Keep digging.

Rodrigo was good against Sheff Utd, he recorded the most carries for Leeds in the match. In what you like reminding us was only 40 minutes of game time.

Looking forward to you telling us how Kai Havertz is a flop next because he's been hooked twice already and once in the 46th minute so far this season.....

I'm not hanging on that at all, in fact I cited two different matches.

Most Chelsea fans would tell you Havertz has looked pretty average in the league so far so probably not the best example. He's a tad younger than Robert though so I daresay he's not a make or break signing for this season.

I reported this on Saturday thanks for the late news.

wow youre so cool

 

[joop]

So a player helps set up a match winning goal and that makes him a flop? Interesting.

I'm sure Kepa has booted the ball up field and that's led to a goal too, but yeah he's still a flop.

What's your alternative? Drop Bamford who's scored 3 in 3 so he can get more minutes?

Er, no? Bamford's looking good.

I don't think you know what pariah means.

Yeah I don't know why I used pariah there. I meant hero.

When you reference 'Leeds supporters' who are you talking about? Is this twitter or something?

And who are Alfred and Charlie? Charlie Allen?

The ones on here and above (such as Joop) who are hanging their hats on him 'setting up' Bamford's winner against Sheff Utd, as if a sideways pass absolves him.

OK thanks.

Thought he had his best all round performance while he was on, Bielsa admitted he shouldnt' have taken him off after the match.

Add me to the list who doesn't think he is a complete flop yet please.

Hey it doesn't phase me, you kept saying last year we'd bottle it and we got promoted, last week it was how shit our defence was and we kept a clean sheet, looking forward to Rodrigos best performance this weekend then!

After you beat us I actually said you'd go up.

Weirdly Bielsa praised your defence this week saying it was much better, and I haven't criticised your defence this week. It's almost as if when I said Bielsa was concerned about your defence in the first few games and then you kept a CS, he might have changed something.

i really didn't see Leeds supporters v the 1 Hull supporter on this board being the primary shitfight this season tbh

It was always going to be this way. The bloke is obsessed with seeing us fail. It’s almost unhealthy.

I follow the Championship (and the BF threads) and, after last season, it was inevitable.

 

[SM]

I'm sorry for commenting on the news overnight that a transfer supporters were excited about failed to go through. I should remember that Leeds supporters can't take even the slightest critique of any aspect of their side.

You clearly haven't met SM.

Slating Bielsa's ability to evaluate a player's ability now, on the back of 100 minutes of Rodrigo gametime, along with 2 blokes I'm pretty sure he's just made up in Alfred and Charlie.

If only there was a thread just for SM/Bostonian & Leeds fans to slug it out....
