Afternoon all... Rodrigo De Paul doesn’t sound like Bielsas kind of player if I’m honest, Bielsa goes off Benrahma because of a little video he posted but RDP says he wants to be the main director of football, that isn’t going to go down well. I’ve read a few rumours that Bielsa hasn’t asked for him, I’m hoping we get him and I’m hoping he fits straight in.
Have to agree, I can’t see any changes from this starting 11 and if we get Rodrigo De Paul we’ll have a bench who’s value is worth more than the entire starting 11
If all things are equal it seems Pozzo has accepted Leeds offer of £31m (€35m) so its now down to the player but his agents are flying in from Argentina to sort things out. As Emu said Suarez has signed for Milan so that means nobody has approached Pozzo except Leeds and no Champions League team have room for him or the cash. I reckon all will become apparent pretty soon
Since Bielsa has been at Leeds we have not known players we are getting till the very last moment or after they have signed, a good example is Orta was speaking to Koch’s agent six months ago so all this speculation over RDP, Foyth etc I take with a pinch of salt!!! however the signing of contract with Bielsa is an area of concern, please sort it Radz you have been a man of your word to date, please get this over the line.
I think that with Suarez signing for Juve that puts the block on them signing him so Leeds have the field to themselves a little moree room for negotiating
Makes oyu wonder how bad things are at the Nu Camp. Messi trying to force a move to Citeh, Suarez going to Juve and Koeman being appointed whi I though would have been a substandard manager for a club the size or Barca
Barcelona had to pay Suarez £12m cash for him to go so he goes on a free and can accept whatever Juve will pay him in wages.theres another 4 top earners who are all getting on and needing to be offloaded at Barca before you even think about Messi issue. Remember they also have Coutinou who won the Champions League for Bayern Munich. Will he go back or be sold off
This maybe a stupid question but if Bielsa is out of contract is he still getting paid? I mean why would he hang around for months doing all this work and not get paid for it.
forget the clickbait stories Dude Bielsa is our manager for this season. Formal contracts isnt important to him because if he wants to go he will just get up and go. The bollox story about a fall out because he wants one year and Leeds want 2 years is garbage, Radz told everyone weeks ago that we will only do a one year deal because to be fair to Marcelo he is 65 and a long way from his wife and daughter, so one year and then we see if he wants to do another one. Thats fact because its recorded
Good shout Est, so many players around 30+ all on big cash and should have been refreshed starting back in 2016 when they got battered in the CL and have had a battering every year since because of it. Now it needs radical surgery but guess it’ll be painful
