Whose proving to be good enough for the PL?

Key word is proving.

Who do you feel are the players who walk into your Leeds 11 tomorrow.

Who makes your squad

Who do you bin off

For me: (part of these due to cost of their signing)
Starters: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Llorente, Phillips, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Bamford

Squad: Harrison, Klich, Dallas, Cooper, Struijk, Costa, Pablo, Shacks, Alioski

Bin: Casilla, Forshaw, possibly Roberts if he doesn’t kick on

From my view we need a quality left back, a number 10 and in addition a midfielder in the engine room who can support KP whilst also offer a few goals

Germany, of course you can look at other teams who play similar styles.. an are clearly good goal keepers, but you're missing the point.

Kiko not only ticks the above box, style and a good footballer, but one of these amazing goalkeepers that you can't yet name still has to have the personality to fit... (sorry LIW), but its not champ manager... still you've not acknowledger how Bielsa likes to have kiko around...

and lets not forget we're talking about a 2nd choice keeper here.

also, I might point out that the article lazily says Kiko on the bin list for not being good enough, he's not even started a league game yet !!

then, lets add in at the point of Kiko's ban, he was playing really well, and many fans, loads on here were worried because we had to then rely on Meslier to get promoted... now he's not good enough - your memory is very selective, choosing to remember the Derby game, rather than the 3/4 of last season where he was excellent.

but yeah, lets forget all that, and replace Kiko

Spit, you're telling me to name keepers, if you want to see how good they are go check, I know they are and as for Bielsa and his way of play, they're as good as any!..

What do you think they do?..

They play out from the back the same as Bielsa, like I've said, more and more teams are doing it these days, its nothing new!..

I don't usually say anything against any player, but Kiko has shown enough to see he will blow again, I said when he was banned it seems to be the way he is, as for Meslier, I said straight away I was happy for him to come in, in fact I think I was one of the few!..

I wouldn't be suprised if he stays as number 1 and Kiko is kept on, but wouldn't be bothered if Bielsa gets rid, knowing Bielsa he'll bring the youngsters up, it's worked once and for a 2nd keeper it might work again!..

But yep Spit, my memory isn't any good, the older I get the more shot up it gets, but I know as well as most, I was not one that stood by Kiko when he got his ban!..

I wasn't happy the "games" he blew his gaskets, and I was less happy when he got his ban, even though I did try and defend him with the argument it couldn't be proven with the so called evidence that was in place!..

Germany.. with regards to his ban, I’m not defending what he said or didn’t say and I don’t buy the ‘cultural differences” that the Southern Europeans seem to hide behind either

Racism close to my heart, and Kiko was clearly in the wrong.

Wanted to keep this, as per the article, ability etc.

Back to the point, Germany, again, you’ve missed the point and still no acknowledgement of the fact that kiko has built a very strong relationship with the squad, one that can only be formed by hitting the lows and the highs together! One the reasons we’re in the premier league in the first place.

Why in gods name would you replace all that, with an unproven personality/player to sit on our bench is beyond me.

"Why in gods name would you replace all that, with an unproven personality/player to sit on our bench is beyond me."

Where have I said that, I haven't, I've said there's lots of keepers out there that play Bielsa's way, its nothing new and that if it came down to it why would the club look for someone to sit on the bench?..

Kiko's relationship with the squad, you've got mates have you not, do you not try and stay on the right side of all?..

Cooper gets ripped to bits these days, but, Bielsa plays him and I'm happy for him, another if you bring in new do you bring in better?..

No use bringing in players if they're no better than what you have!..

And you'r point, I know exactly how Kiko is, I just don't think he's what you do, and that's because I think the way he is anything can happen at any time, and that in the past was costly and could be again!..

F kin hell Spanish, yes I do watch us. I was one of the fans who was there going every week in the minus 15 days so wind your neck in a bit

We’re discussing a cover keeper. Yes I know we play with a keeper whose good with his feet but it’s cover keeper and I was trying to make the point he isn’t brilliant with them (so not bad).

Nothing wrong with Casilla; perfectly adequate No.2.

Money is needed elsewhere, not just because of some irrational gripe some people have with him.

agree with most but I'm not sure why Kiko is on the bin list... ridiculous.

who you replacing our number 2 with?

was excellent until his ban last year.

one of only keepers of his kind, Bielsa ball esk..

older head for his under stand Meslier.

Beilsa rates him as captain material, so you'd have to assume he is good to have about in terms of Meslier development.

lazy and silly claim to bin Kiko, give me a better replacement
