    So despite the obvious priorities we sign yet another CAM.
    Know **** all about him but doubt he will shine on a cold winters day at Elland Road when faced with the physicality of the championship.

    Couldn’t get in the Boro side much last season... but then neither did foreshaw. Got game time under monk but none under pulis. Let’s hope his game is more suited to Bielsa than pulis... as opposed to the alternate conclusion that he’s just not up to it!

    I see Bristol City have spent circa £5mill on Webster the cb star turn at Ipswich.
    Orta and Rad need to accept we won’t progress with only loans and cast offs...
    We appear to be late with our acquisitions again.

    So Bielsa knew fookall about Leeds and the championship had to watch all last seasons videos but knew enough about Lewis Baker to snap him up so quickl

    We both know exactly who sanctioned and wanted this.
    More cheap pr.. os talking up the Chelsea angle as though this is a guarantee of him being the messiah.

    Up for a bet?

    I bet before the end of next week we'll have signed a striker for around the 10 million mark

    Glass half full - it's a loan, so no fee, & if he's a flop we won't have him stuck on a 4 year deal.

    Now give the lad a chance, eh?

    Here,here we've all been crying out for more British players in the squad. Let's see the lad play before crucifying him. Good look to all our new signings, a bit of positivity needed at least until September

    If he's a decent footballer he'll never fit into a Pulis midfield. You need to be 6'+ and be able to lump anything up the field, ball or man <ok>

    I wish these players would come up with something original to say when joining a club:

    "It's a massive club with amazing history so it's a good opportunity for me," he told the Leeds website.

    Not exactly bowled over by this announcement as others have pointed out we have plenty of options here and didn't exactly set the world on fire apparently although I wouldn't know as know nothing about him.

    Really want to see a quality, recognisable signing to show real intent. Pre-season is always tedious and full of speculation so the sooner Bielsabub makes his mark the better.
