Poveda
Llorente
Firpo

I mean absolute, complete duds, there is no way Bielsa wanted these.

Because I think Bielsa is a great manager.

You might think Bielsa said to the club "Bring me Lewis Baker" in which case you must clearly think Bielsa isn't really that good.

Jonty is in the know, but he's only in the know on his own opinions.

Baker was his first signing so maybe Bielsa did want him? However it obviously didn’t work out for him.

He made 14 appearances before he was recalled by Chelsea and sent out on loan elsewhere.

Yeah that's right, Bielsa did all this analysis on every Leeds match, even pre season, but had somehow taken the time to analyse a chelease reserve player.....

Come on, why do we do this and try and blame biers and excuse Orta for these awful signings.

It's like some sort of madness.

None of us are privy to what went on and who Bielsa wanted and didn’t want.

We know Orta was a tool and made some huge errors.

Wasn’t it Bielsa who tracked and wanted James? Or are we blaming that on Orta as well?

Let’s face it - everyone at Leeds made errors after our first season back up. I include the coach in that too - much as I loved him and would have gladly gone down with him last season instead of sacking him.

It’s a new start now so let’s look forward not backwards.

Good also to get confirmation that Llorente’s back off to Roma for the new season. Hope we never see him at ER again (at least in a Leeds shirt!).

Yes. He was Bambie on Ice in many games.
