Good Morning Everyone Popular South American media outlet Fichajes Goleador have confirmed on their Twitter page that talks had been successful and that Bielsa was 99% of the way to becoming the new boss at Elland Road. If this is true, how did Leeds convince him? Bielsa would not have been short of offers from other clubs, so what assurances would Messrs Radrizzani, Orta and Kinnear have made to the 62 year old? Our biggest concern must be lack of transfer funds, so what kind of assurances would Bielsa have been given regarding a transfer kitty. There are fresh reports linking us to Brum Keeper David Stockdale. This is not the first time the ex Brighton shot stopper has been linked to his boyhood club, but reading an article today from reliable journo Phil Hay gives the story more credence. According to YEP's top sports writer Leeds top target between the posts is Citeh's Angus Gunn but Leeds are still waiting to find out whether Guardiola will allow the 22 yo out on loan again. As we know Jansson has been speaking to the press agai about whether or not he will be at LS11 next season. Is he entitled to say what he is saying? Pick a player David Harvey or Nigel Martyn
Morning all... Sky Sports News ran a piece on Bielsa yesterday, nothing much new coming out of it apart from the fact he really wants to coach in England and for him it won’t be about the money, it will be about the challenge. In regards to transfer budget how much would he need? I’m hoping he doesn’t believe Orta IF he has been sold a story about how cheap Serie B players are and that they are on par with the Championship. Hernandez from Hull is a free agent, we couldn’t get better or cheaper than that in this division, break the wage mould or give him a signing on fee, get him signed up and I’ll start to believe this season will be different. Pontus - Ignore everything he says, when he returns from World Cup duty call him in, have a word, read the riot act (if required) and tell him to knuckle down and win promotion with us as it’s his only chance of playing PL football next season as he is going no where so focus.
