    <laugh> Wasn’t having a pop at you mate. I think that guy at Salzburg who’s connected to loads of Mali players was trying to drum up interest in Camara by saying Leeds is a done deal.

    Apparently he has history for tweeting stuff as though it’s definitely happening and turns out it’s crap.

    Typical, Adams wasn't impressing me, Camara I thought Okay and Sinisterra I thought that was an exciting gamble.

    Is Jesse signing players he knows and players who know him because he trusts them or is he clueless and just trying to recreate something that worked in a **** division?

    I will be happy with our transfers once we get a decent goal scorer in.

    adams played for him at Leipzig the other two at Salzburg. Roca and sinisterra have never worked with him.

    Aaronson was coming anyway.

    He may or may not prove clueless but I think the answer to your question is fairly obviously that they are young, talented, he knows their personas.

    I said before, it’s not really even scouting. Still could pay off, they have played champions league football though it’s questionable whether even the group stages of that has the same quality as the premier league.

    the salzburg boys did leak 7 against bayern in the champion's league so they are well equipped for our annual shellackings against city, the dippers and the scummers

    I can't see the problem with signing players you know and trust. If I have an issue it's the fact quite a few foreigners take a season to settle into the PL, our signings so far and the one's in the pipeline are obviously from abroad, I'd liked to have had a couple with a bit of PL experience added to the ranks.

    this… though the caveat for marsch is it can take players a while to ‘get’ his system so even PL based players would likely take a while to click… signing players who’ve played for him probably helps acclimatisation

    I'm gonna state the obvious here.

    If the majority of the new lads hit the ground running then we are fine. If none of them adjust then we might be in serious trouble.

    Special K in Milan will warm the bench a lot. In Leeds he starts, but until we know what Raphas doing we will have to settle for the Columbian

    I guess our offer is higher than AC Milan's and then CdK could pull the Rapha trick

    Sounds like a plan,
    Sign 6 highly rated youngsters, some with CL experience.
    1 or 2 will be ****.
    3 or 4 will be good.
    1 will be a worldie.
    Simples.

    There's also the fact, you get 2 for the price of one in comparison

    I’m just concerned, like you I question the scouting and what has Orta been doing if this is all Jesse requests? Are they really the best we can do for the money or is there much better out there. I’ll obviously give them all a chance but I’m definitely more than a little concerned


    We’ve not got the other two yet, four in four ex Jesse players

    It took a team of average championship players 6 weeks to ‘get’ his (Bielsa) system. We sign a coach who is supposedly like Bielsa but not man to man marking and he has already had virtually half a season with the players. I don’t buy into this taking time excuse
