If he is indeed a crock yes. We signed Augustin at £15m knowing he was a crock saying he’d be worth double that if fit. That all went tits up too.
Whilst still not an Orta fan can just imagine the sh*t that would have been thrown at him if he had bought a crock better safe than sorry
“I would prefer to talk about him when he is officially our player,” Bielsa said. “I don’t want to repeat the episode with Dan James.” That’s what Bielsa said today at the presser. If he failed his medical yesterday Bielsa would surely not have said this?
There could still have been talks going on, along the lines of a loan which becomes a sale if he completes a certain amount of games. Would answer both clubs response, Leeds saying he failed medical, but not willing to commit to cash until he's played so many games, could be financial problems Bayern are on about.
Guess the truth will eventually come out but then does it really matter as either way he isn’t becoming a Leeds player. Hopefully we have someone else ready to move in on. I can’t see it as being a failed medical myself, just feel Bielsa wouldn’t have made those comments if it were.
He would not come surely until terms were agreed so maybe he has failed his medical. We have two wage theives already in forshaw and roberts. Three if you count Barry super left wand douglas.
I am very happy with the signings we have made, Cuisance did seem to be another quality player but if the deal is off for whatever reason let's move on. I hope we don't panic buy and can’t really see that happening. Maybe Orta was double bluffing and there is another player lined up? The rollercoaster rides on.
Apparently we agreed personal terms with Cantwell yesterday. Still to agree a fee with Norwich. I think they want 18 mill and we offered 15 mill. Could be done quickly.
He got chopped down with a really bad challenge in training recently, by Lewandowski which led to a fight and him not being in the squad since and up for sale, could have been injured then.
I was just about to mention him. Hole in the heart or something like that. Went on to have a great career.
Llorente is the signing that I find most strange, I’m just reading we have around £20m to spend on a midfield player. Considering we have Koch and Struijk looked decent I’d have put a creative midfield player ahead of another defender. I guess we felt sure Cuisance was on his way so thought we’d get both.
Time to clear all this up before it grows legs ...... The smokescreen comments were actually bluff/double bluff routine. Once the smoke clears, it'll become quite obvious that Leeds will be signing the target they were always after. Well, the target that was Bielsa's original choice. So, it remains to be seen who this target is ..... & I can finally reveal who it is .... There's just 2 small obstacles to overcome: the small matter of me losing 8 stone & slightly more concerning is me having to lose 40 years too. Apart form that, job's a good 'un.
