We won't get close to the ball due to their high pressing game. I mean loads of teams do it but not the same way that Bielsa does it. He is unique. Nobody will be able to compete

They won't need any loans from us in future. Leeds are going to sign a local village team and Bielsa will turn them into Champions League winners (assuming he signs his contract of course)

That is where the Bielsa argument is so flawed. Firstly, if he was that good, he'd surely have won a lot more trophies in his career. I admit he's not been at the biggest teams generally, and that seems to be his choice, but surely if he was as good as they say he would have won a lot more even...

They are so deluded. I am not going to assume we are going to finish above them but there is certainly a good chance. On the one hand you have a team with three years in the Premier League so far, who have just completed their first season under a new manager with players developing well and two...

But you are clearly forgetting who the manager is. Bielsa has turned Ayling into the new Cafu. We can't compete with that.

But surely, if this is true, it is more down to who fits into Potter's tactics better. It looks like Jahanbakhsh doesn't have an obvious place in the team. Maybe Labyad would. So, even if he's not as good as Jahanbakhsh in terms of ability, he might be better than him for us.

So basically he doesn't like any team who won't sell their best players to Leeds at a cheap price. I am not sure he understands the transfer system

Maybe we should take out a full page ad in all of the national newspapers thanking Leeds for turning Ben White from a League 2 player into the best central defender in the world

It is amusing to think of him so upset because we won't sell Ben White

They are so deluded. And surely their thanks is that White helped them get promoted

Agreed re crosses only being as good as the strikers on the end of them. Nobody really remembers crosses that don't get converted. Solly is a funny one. He had a really good run under Hughton about a year and a half ago where he got about six assists in a month or two and was playing full of...

You do wonder if some of their fans are just a bit thick. It doesn't seem to be that difficult to understand we loaned him to them as part of his development, not because we didn't rate him

But that is exactly what this thread is about. The fact the Leeds forums (and twitter) is full of deluded tossers. So why come on here and disagree if you avoid the forums for that resson

Plus it is better for us than selling him to a Premier League side

Ironic, given their reaction to players like Ferdinand and Smith leaving

But the point is it is at least one. And that doesn't include the crosses where we missed chances. If you watch it, you will see that calling it a blind cross is an insult. It was a quality cross into the near post and good movement from Connolly

The latest I see online is sympathy for Ben White as he won't be able to develop under Bielsa. What a load of rubbish. If we do turn down offers of £30 million and keep him, it is because Potter will play him and he will definitely develop. Alzate had only had a half season loan spell at...

Some also seem to believe that Bielsa could take any centre back and turn them into the new Ben White. Which begs the question, why don't they do that rather than constantly bidding for a player that they've been told we want to keep? Surely it would be cheaper

Ignoring the fact you are being extremely harsh on Burn, you are factually incorrect. He definitely created Connolly's first goal against Spurs. I can't be bothered to go through every goal to see if there's more but that one is definite.

With all due respect, you are talking rubbish. You, and many Leeds fans, don't seem to understand what the loan system is for. It is a great way to develop players. It is clearly documented, from your end, that we refused a clause to buy at the end of the loan. Clearly this is because we had no...
