Bielsa has stated he wants 2 players. A winger and a Keeper.
Keeper not necessarily to start ahead of BPF.
Winger to start I expect.
Spoke very highly of Orta and Radz. All sounds to me like we will be signing two players now.
Quotes below
Bielsa on transfers
I don't think many players will come in. If the club can get players than the ones than we already have and in the position where we suffered some injuries. For example Saiz left and Pablo plays as a playmaker so we need a winger. The injury of Jamal Blackman has not been covered by another player these are two positions we are trying to solve. If players come it will be better but if we trust the players we have.
Bielsa on Orta trust
I trust him because I like the players I have at my disposal. The first time I saw Victor Orta in my life was five months ago. It's not like I am his friend and just saying this. I have a lot of hope for the game of Sunday.
Is Bielsa worried about not strengthening in January?
Victor Orta built this team. Of course I gave my opinion but the creator of this team is Victor Orta and this team has a privileged position in the Championship which means he was not mistaken. I trust, not a rational trust, I don't trust just because we work in the same club I trust his work. I also trust the support that the president gives to Orta.
Quotes from Kinnear Interview (Link Below)
"Nonetheless, we will use the January market to evaluate any opportunities - but our criteria on adding to the squad will be exacting.
"Any new face will need to add significant and immediate capability to the first team, fit within our responsible wage structure, and not destabilise the squad that has served us so well.
"Identifying and securing this type of player will be challenging and we are conscious that the majority of January purchases fail to deliver against expectations. However, our scouting and analytics capability give us a better chance to beat the odds."

All the right words. The right strategy. Not many players, but quality. All seem to be singing off the same hymn sheet too.
Now all they have to do is follow up with actions..............

These are well considered comments from Bielsa. He is positioning himself within the management team while clearly driving the search for players. He makes everyone feel good and look good. Great management.

Bielsa wants success, he will constantly be looking for players to improve our team. It is down to AR to any signing off.

How badly does AR want it though. Right through our 7 game winning run we heard nothing from him. I don't recall seeing anything from him on social media. No tweets nothing
Is he getting cold feet? .

Wasn't he getting criticised last season for only being vocal when we were doing well?
I'm happy with a silent owner in the main. The time they need to speak up is when things are going badly.

Rajiv Van La Parra has revealed that Leeds United were keen on signing him this month but added that Middlesbrough were simply more interested.

Good that were not hearing from AR, only need to hear when there is an issue.

Getting cold feet because he is not on Instagram?
Come on!
The owner has done everything right this year after a few mistakes last season. Nice to know he and Orta can change tact and learn from mistakes.
Too early to go over the top but if we go up Radz deserves a lot of credit. IF!
Kamara, I really believe we are not looking to sign the right standard of players. I know the loans haven't really clicked this season but would have been a totally different story if it wasn't for Harvey Barnes last minute change of heart. Imagine if we had got him!
