    Bielsa……….

    Did not want Cody Drameh to leave Leeds.

    Re: Bielsa……….

    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.

    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.

    I suspect it's more to do with his translator who goes everywhere with him. He just looks like some bloke he's grabbed off the street.

    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.

    Drameh comes out of this well.

    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.

    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 👍

    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

    I would - it would be six points a season for us down the drain, if ever they get relegated or we go up again

    Bielsa is potty. When he first arrived at Leeds he rented a one bedroom flat above a spar or something similar. The rent was Ł500 per month and he apparently knocked the landlord down a few quid. I really hope that is true

    As I said he should have a grasp of English by now..... he should be known as the train by now

    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!

    Drameh’s agent is that Aidy Ward who was Sterling’s and has rubbed some people up the wrong way. Drameh has been at Leeds for 18 months and has played a handful of games. 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.

    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

    What are the chances of getting a leaked copy as I so want to see it now?

    Andrew Taylor is Leeds Loan manager. He was impressed by our presentation, and he also has a soft spot for us
