Did not want Cody Drameh to leave Leeds.

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.
Sounds like he wanted to keep him around as an option but not enough to actually just say no.
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.
Anyone else reckon that Bielsa is a bit disrespectful? 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.
I saw a clip of Gazza recently on that Italian Celebrity show hes been on. He sounded better talking Italian than English.
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

This kid’s a Londoner who Leeds bought out of Fulham’s youth system in August 2020. Perhaps living in Leeds doesn’t agree with him (can’t imagine why, honest…).
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).
