Good Morning. It's Friday 10th December, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road
Bielsa plays down January transfer activity
During his press conference yesterday, Marcelo Bielsa played down plans to strengthen his threadbare squad during the January Sales. The Argentine has never been a fan of the Winter transfer window, and made it clear that they would only be interested in players that would improve their squad, and even then, it would only be a possibility!
According to Phil Hay :"Bielsa asked if this changes plans for the January window. Says if the club can find players who are better than his then "it's possibility that's welcome but we all know the difficulty of the winter market." Says it's difficult to find players who are "competing" and available".
Bielsa's words angered many Leeds fans, who took to social media to express their dismay, labelling the Argentine as stubborn!

Players are tired and have switched off mentally
Former player, now pundit Tim Sherwood believes that Marcelo Bielsa has taken Leeds as far as he can, and says there's a million to one chance he'll still be at Elland Road next season. Speaking on the Kelly & Wrighty show, the former Spurs legend went on to say that Leeds have been found out and the players have switched off mentally!
“I think he might have taken them as far as he could. I think his ideas have gone sour. I never see him smile. Leeds seem to have got found out. “The players are tired and have switched off mentally. When you stop winning, you stop listening to the manager. A million in one shot that he stays next season. For the life of me, I can’t see him being there next year.”

Five missing for Chelsea trip
Rodrigo, Robin Koch, Patrick Bamford, Kalvin Phillips and Captain Liam Cooper will all be missing for the trip to Stamford Bridge tomorrow. Koch has finally overcome his groin strain, but has be suffering from illness for the last ten days whilst Rodrigo has picked up a heel injury that will keep him sidelined for the next few games!
Surely Bielsa will bring Charlie Cresswell (or Struijk if fit) into the mix, allowing Ayling to operate in his favoured position at right wing back, and move Dallas into midfield. With Rodrigo and Bamford both sidelined, surely Joe Gelhardt will be given a rare opportunity up front, though in all likelihood Roberts will probably get the nod!
