He's in his third year at Leeds I believe, all of them on loan from Man City (I'll ignore that I think that's ridiculous and shouldn't be allowed for the moment) are there any plans to make the deal permanent, will City be looking to take him back in the summer? We were meant to buy him in the summer but promotion wasn't confirmed until after the agreement had ended (8 mil) Loan was renewed with a now 10 million buyout at the end of the season. Bit funny you're all making Blackpool comparisons like you're 15 points ahead of us. Sort yourselves out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Blackpool were on 28 points after twenty games, so were having a very similar season in terms of number of points won, having a very attacking outlook, getting some shock results, but also a few heavy defeats. It's hardly a ridiculous comparison.I'm not sure what us not being fifteen points ahead has anything to with anything, if Blackpool were in the division and doing as well now as they were back then, we'd only be four points ahead of them. Really comparisons to them shouldn't be taken as a diss, as they had a good season, and were very unlucky to be relegated, most other seasons their 39 points would have been enough to stay up.

Sort yourselves out I'm not one that's making the comparison, but I'm not sure what our points total has to do with it. I can compare Robert Redford to Brad Pitt without having to be better looking than both of them (that's just a happy coincidence.) 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegated with the highest number of points, 39 I think. At this point in the season, the comparison is apt. February that season they were playing us off the park at their place. Also, we can be Sheffield United and still make the comparison, not sure what that has to do with anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is looking at other attacking sides and saying 'wow they play like prime Blackpool' No other side is being treated as though they are the first team in PL history to come up and have a go. There is nothing unique about Leeds this season other teams have come up and had a go, other teams have had a cavalier approach, other teams have done as well as Leeds, other teams have done better than Leeds. Yet the myth of Leeds being unique is rammed down the necks of football fans week after week by some in the media. That isn’t Leeds fault but you shouldn’t be surprised that fans of other teams are sick of it or delight in highlighting the absolute guff that it is. Leeds are doing well for a promoted side, no more and no less. It is interesting how no mention is ever made about how much you spent in the summer but it seems coverage of Leeds is just different to other sides for some unknown reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a criticism of the media and how they covered both teams. I distinctly remember a lot of criticism for Blackpool being too gung ho and the typical English guff about being more pragmatic etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it sounds strange, but I think Bielsa's age counts in Leeds favour. He's a man who has moved around a lot during his career, but I don't think at this stage he'd want to take on a new challenge and start a new three year thing somewhere else. I think he has one, maybe two more seasons left in the game and I don't seem him going somewhere new - I think he'll retire at Leeds. He's 65 now, so when he does that becomes the question, but I don't seem him retiring in the summer so I think they'll get at least one more year. I think he's a fantastic coach and the league is all the better for having him in it. Even if it is with Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Leeds is his team, he's finally found a club that he can call 'home', he catches public transport to work, can be seen in the local beauty spots taking his dogs for a walk whilst attired in Leeds' gear, it's small details like that that endear him to the city, and the good job he's done with the team as well of course.
