If Bielsa stays, I don't see wholesale changes. No way would Forshaw, Dallas etc. be moved on. And I don't want them to. Dallas has been average over his Leeds career but this season he's actually played well. Filled in really well at fullback which suits him a lot more. Good back up to have for Ayling or on the left if we need.
New centreback as we need a proper option if Cooper or Jansson are out.
Winger with pace who can finish.
A number 10.
I'd expect 3 or 4 signings if Bielsa stays. Not major outgoings.

We can't control outgoings, after another season of failure would you begrudge Pontus and Phillips especially a PL move. They should take it.
Is it really that easy to say “get rid”....what about contracts etc?
As much as Kiko was horrendous last night, and I think he made a mistake at Ipswich, I wouldn't say ship him out...
I know this will be met with controversy, but I think he's a good keeper if I'm honest
Cricky would not be getting rid of Dallas. Proved the value of squad rotation and depth
We will rightly or wrongly stick with the keeper. Left Real for free on a 4ym year contract to the Championship.
Unless he goes to Qatar or China, getting rid seems very unlikely
I would be very interested to know how you move on a guy on a reported £50K a week for 4 years, who after last night's performance will be wanted by very few.

Over the course of his appearances in the past 3 years he hasn't done enough for me, he also has not improved significantly since MB arrived for me to change that opinion.
I accept he was exceptional last night, but we are talking a square peg round hole back up player who has never impressed me in his NATURAL position of winger.
Is it me or does Stuart Dallas only perform in an N.I shirt or in big games like last night where there is national interest?
Since coming from Brentford he has been generally below par for me
Who says what his 'natural' position is though? Bale was a left back till someone played him on the wing.
Dallas has qualities that make a much better fullback than winger- great engine, solid defensively, good on the ball but lacks pace.

We lack pace all over, so why hold on to someone without it?
No reason we can't have Shack at RB if Ayling is injured. We have cover at LB already so no need for him. Free up wages for a winger.
Dallas has made over 30 appearances. 16 were starts. My point about pace was he lacks the pace to be a winger but that's not so much of a problem at fullback at this level.
There is cover but he's played a fair amount. Just don't see how shipping out an experienced player who has had a good season when he played is improving the squad. Need to add to it.
That's my biggest issue with Dallas although he can sometimes cross a ball and can score the odd good goal he is the epitome of pedestrian.
The one thing this side has been lacking is pace with quality and result
Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling for Dallas to start. Just in a squad that has recently had a bench with an average age of 19, I'd keep a player of his experience. Showed he can perform when needed.
1 x GK - Huffer
1 x CB - Halme
2 x Winger - can't think of anyone off the top of my head
1 x ST - Edmondson
1 x AM - Saiz (he's only out on loan, remember)
Most of our transfer activity is signing youth players to bolster our academy.
From what I've seen, quite a few of them are ready for the first team.

Blame, thought he looked okay when he played, not long enough to judge.
Saiz, he won’t be back playing. I really doubt it. Gutted he left but more gutted at our ineptitude. No money up front and no replacement.
Agree with AZA, especially that Spanish keeper who should be going back to where he came from.
I'm looking forward to seeing Malik return to the fold. We know what we need. We also know that Radz doesn't have a proverbial pot. Where are we going to get the money from, unless we sell? I am sure Pontus, Roofe, Kalvin and even Shacks will be on the radar of Premier League Clubs.
Agree with pretty much all of that, except about Dallas. He's a useful guy to have around, adaptable, good work rate, positive and cheerful and sometimes shows a touch of class.
Bamford has had a poor end to the season no doubt but cut the overreaction for god sake, he is a good player
Get rid of the warrior? ARE YOU MAD !!!
AZA you certainly see things differently
Bamford has never settled anywhere and I think the last few games have shown why clubs were happy to let him go. Get rid (be lucky to find anyone to take him!)
