I can’t see if we did sign Westwood that he would be thrown straight in, I’m sure Bielsa would want a closer look and a few training session with him first.
Sorry Rik but this lad is much better than BPF get him in straight away remember he has just got 2 clean sheets in his last 2 games
I can see the temptation to throw him in but we play from the back, the players understand each other, I thing Bielsa would want to ensure Westwood knew the set up, I’m not saying don’t put him straight in, I just don’t believe Bielsa would
I think morbid white has explained how it's impossible for him to play on New Year's Day, IF we are going to sign him.
Think Nessy has not done what Bielsa expected him to do. He was named in the first team squad but has been bypassed by at least 5 other kids. Yes he has been injured but just not cutting it and has been at fault for a few howlers in the U23s. Think WJ is right and he is being moved on. Same can be said for Mallik Wilks as a new deal is being done right now to keep him at Donny on loan to the end of the season. His contract at Leeds ends in the Summer and it would seem he will be allowed to leave on a free. Shame as he has been nurtured by the club since a young age but the kids Irta has brought in means no place for Mallik so it would seem we wasted money. Easy to say I know but all done under a different owner Lewie Coyle is also having his loan extended which means his carrer is also over at Leeds. This kid is a good right back and wing back and creates goals, scores and stops attacks. A regular for Fleetwood and played every game almost for 2 seasons now gaining rave reviews. Shame he will have to look elsewhere
So, Benitez has Gayle at his disposal but wants Roofe instead? Who on here would take Gayle in a straight swop?
Seems all is not quite so clear cut with Mallik Wilks. The Donny manager is trying to play hardball in public & it might backfire on him ... https://tbrfootball.com/mallik-wilks-ultimatum-leaves-leeds-united-needing-to-make-big-decision/
Latest besides the Moise Kean from Juventus story is German club Hoffenheim allowing their International winger Stephan Zuber to leave.mreported in Bildnthat Leeds have made an approach? Zuber is a Swiss International and recently scored against Brazil in the WC. Seems to be out of favour at his club with only 18 months remaining and has only played 16 times so far this season with 6 of thise in the Champions League. He is 27 years old
Phil Hay just confirmed that Leeds have been looking at Zuber for a while, which means Bielsa is fully aware of the lad. He reckons the big thing will be convincing him to drop to the Championship?
I'm reading lots of excellent reports about Zuber, plays wide left can play right or attacking through the center. No bids tabled yet, Leeds are looking at all options and the biggest concern would be if he is willing to drop down to the Championship. I don't like it when they say we're looking at options, you know the window is approaching, you're top of the table and you've lost a star player in Saiz we should be ready to act on week one.
Makes sense really as we have spent cash bringing him on from a kid and then letting him leave on a free takes the pee really, especially with a gobby Donny boss who thinks he can just have our player and then pick him up for free in the Summer..
Gaining momentum and has played for Basel 42 times scoring 22 goals. He has 8 league and a couplemof CL goals this season?
