Did not want Cody Drameh to leave Leeds.

Drameh queen
I read Bielsas statement about Drameh and to be honest I still don't understand what he wanted or meant. His team talks must be a nightmare. His grasp of English remains poor, bearing in mind how long he has been working here.
Drameh comes out of this well.
I’m glad someone else said that. I read the article and I don’t have a clue what he was talking about. He made no sense at all. But I’m pretty sure if a Premier League manager genuinely didn’t want a 20 year-old to go out on loan to a Championship club, the player would be going nowhere.Quote:

Clearly some disagreement there as its an unusual statement to make about a young loan player. Usually everyone is grateful of him getting some playing time.
I took it as he respected the players view to go out on loan to get more game time. Seems healthy to me albeit a long article to get to that point 👍Quote:

He’s been in the UK a while now yet doesn’t seem interested in learning English, other overseas coaches/managers have persevered over time and picked up enough to answer a few questions in an interview. Pochetinno was one who struggled but battled on eventually discarding the translator, Bielsa just carries on, sat on his bucket staring squinty eyed at the grass as if he’s having a massive turn out. I know he’s apparently well respected by his peers but as far as I can see he doesn’t even watch the match and has no interest in conversing in the language of the country where he chooses to ply his trade.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he can speak much better English than he lets on - I think that probably applies to a fair few players as well.
That’s crossed my mind, I hope Leeds are making him pay the interpreter’s wages......’ark at me, I hope Leeds etc etc, I wouldn’t shed a tear if the buggers went bust:biggrin:Quote:

Drameh has also unfollowed all the Leeds players on Twitter and deleted all Leeds photos from his instagram, leaving only a pic of him signing for City. Leeds fans not happy :hehe:

He’s obviously been given some sort of a guarantee of first team football here. It’s going to be interesting to see how this one works out, particularly if he’s been burning bridges at Leeds (in social media terms at least).
Andrew Taylor is Leeds Loan manager. He was impressed by our presentation, and he also has a soft spot for us :hehe:Quote:

It was above a chippy near the training ground. He also speaks far better English than he lets on but doesn’t want to be misinterpreted. I don’t blame him!Quote:

The whole thing is really odd though, he was probably going to start for Leeds this weekend, they’ve got a tiny squad because Bielsa likes it that way and they’ve got a mountain of injuries. I wouldn’t be surprised if Drameh has burnt all his bridges at Leeds, hence the petty Instagram unfollowing etc as he feels once a few players get fit, he’s back out of the picture.
