Nketiah is past history, like Roofe and Jansson. Why do people think it worth posting about them no? You want to drone on pointlessly about how brilliant our recruitment strategy has been? It's a complete waste of time and energy if you ask me.
Jaz you keep bringing up Roofe, he’s moved on, let it lie....

Past history, yes, but if we had those three, managed effectively, where would we be? Sorry to drone on, but this post is really for all those who think Bielsa is the Messiah. He's not the Messiah, he's a principled, dignified, and exceptionally intelligent coach who is doing an amazing job with the resources he has. I would love to see a smile on Bamford's face as he rips the Boro net for his hat-trick, just like he did against us a couple of years back. I am just struggling to understand what has happened to that Bamford, and whether Bielsa knows how to find him.
Pleased for the lad to be fair.
Him scoring for Arsenal has zero comparisons with his time at Leeds.. comparing apples and oranges.

"Not sure I follow your logic here. Arsenal are 9th having scored 39 goals Leeds are 2nd having scored 49 goals."
Cal, I said somewhere back there that Arsenal showed us how to open up a defence at our cost, the players in Arsenals front line are much better then ours and in being so he has more of a chance of scoring for them than us!..
He was supposed to go to I think it was QPR,(I think I read here more than once!)on loan, but because of his "mismanagement" at Leeds his Boss decided he was a better player than Arsenal thought he was before coming to us!..
He's just another player on that long list of players Bielsa has set alight and he if given the chance will get better!..
He was tried by Leeds and if he hadn't have been injured at the time he was he just might have proved as good as he seems to be doing now, but in the game time he played for us he wasn't good enough and Bielsa left him on the bench!..
Bielsa wanted him to stay so that must say something!..

Do you really believe he was injured, or was he just fed up and refusing to play? The whole situation was weird.
"Do you really believe he was injured, or was he just fed up and refusing to play? The whole situation was weird."
Do you think he was refusing to play?..
People all over the internety were kicking up the usual crap about Bamford and saying he should be dropped, Bielsa was planing on doing that and said Eddie would play the next game!..
In the time between that game and training sessions he was injured!..
He was a loan player, I'm sure if he'd refused to play he would have been kicked back home within an hour of doing so!..
Or do the club have to keep a loan player that refuses to play?..
Something not right if you think they should!..
True, LUFC, I am just sceptical about anything that comes out of the mouths of the club's spin-masters. We don't know a quarter of what goes on.
“ All reasons why he should have started more games for us. But outweighed by the fact that when he played for us, from the bench or start, we were a worse side than when Bamford was on the pitch. That’s a massive negative and a huge hurdle to overcome when arguing for his case.”
True that!

I would argue that a team playing poorly is not down to one player.

Totally agree Cal - and that was Beilsa's stance on it too
