Don't worry. Bielsa has forgotten more about football than all the lists, message boards, WACCOE, Twitter accounts have ever known. He is meticulous and has planned everything to the last detail. He will have known there is a good chance that Roofe would go as he nearing the end of his contract and he wanted to be paid as much as Bamford, so he will have planned for the eventuality. He understands that Kiko will cost us a few goals per season, but has balanced that against his football skills pushing us forward creating more. I don't think Bielsa looks at players & positions in a normal steve bruce way but in a more quantum type thingie where players and positions are fluid and can swap places or even be in more than 1 place at the same time or not. It's hard to think of a single player who isn't improved over the last 14 months and the bench was full exciting youngsters, even tho Shackleton and Edmundson weren't among them.
Of course all of this doesn't mean we are guaranteed promotion or even playoffs, cos Football is full of variables (Berardi's temper, Bamfords knee, Derby scuffed goal) that even a genius can't predict, but it'll be great fun to watch 90% of the time and everyone will give 100%. It'll be more fun than 16 out of the last 17 seasons. -----Original Message----- From: Leedslist <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mark Pilling Sent: 04 August 2019 13:34 To: leedslist <[email protected]> Subject: [LU] 5 9 Hmmmmm. not one for demanding signing after signing, I was hoping, in this order, this summer to see: bielsa signed for another year. (big gap) a goals scoring striker a central defender. We have acquired 2 of the above (including the most important). but also lost 2 of the above. yikes. I had hoped that bielsa would/must be a pull for aspirational players/loanees, but we don't seem to have taken advantage. tell me not to worry xxxx Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/ RIP Jimmy WAC-COE
