A few things that don’t make any sense to me.... 1) Vydra - I don’t believe he agreed a wage of £30k and upped his demand at the last minute to £50k a week, it just makes no sense. I believe someone didn’t do their homework, discovered he was on 30k a week at Derby and assumed he would want the same...

Morning all, feeling under whelmed at the lack of signings myself.

It might have nothing to do with skill and ability or lack of, Klich might just not fit into Bielsa plans for the season ahead, square peg round hole. A chance for Bielsa to free up some wage budget

On Facebook a few Chelsea fans are amazed he didn’t get more game time at Boro said he has lots of pace, their fans seem to rate him. As long as Bielsa has seen him and wants him for his plan this season let’s bring him in.

I’ve wanted Roofe to succeed, as a person he is great, true professional who gives 100% but he just doesn’t do it enough for me.

Seriously hoping we don’t see him, we need better than this

New manager formation several new players, don't expect that much in 18/19 folks.... Has to be as it stands Ayling and Pearce at wing back, but does this formation call for wingers too? or is that front 3 fairly narrow? Reading various reports on Bielsa it says he favours RBs and LBs either side of...

Those rating Klich, what are you basing it on? Genuine question have you seen him play well?

Reading reports Bielsa doesn’t want Abel Hernandez, he wants Vydra.

Goalkeeper
CB

They are the four I think we need, I know some love BPF but we need more experience between the sticks, I'm sticking with Alioski wide left and alternating between Saiz and Pablo #`10

Hernandez for me followed by Vydra, to be honest, I would have to pinch myself if we got either of them

OK Leon, I’m going to relate a true story. I will try not to be too wordy or insulting in its telling. In 1962 a person called Jack Charlton of Leeds United came to Normanton Grammar School to represent Leeds United Football Club. I have no idea why he really came unless it was the club’s idea to r...

Beradi could be the right sided defender, he's very comfortable on the ball and decent passer I think left sided and Ayling right. The video clip detailing Bielsa style of play means the defensive trio are only expected to perform short ball passing, they are not expected to hit a 30-40 yard pass. ...

Poor Jerry what’s his name has no chance of joining now, that’s got to be a positive

Ayling is one of few players in our current squad with an abundance of energy which is what will be required in Bielsa's formation & style of play. Ayling won't be going all soft & wimpy asking his coach "can I come off boss as I'm tired" :roll: Based solely on Bielsa style of pla...

Ayling started his career as a CB so I’d have thought Ayling in the back three as well as Berardi as things stand. When I watched a video of this Bielsa formation it was more about what he expects from the players than the formation. Without the ball he expects every player to press super hard, no e...

He wouldn’t have been my choice, far from it but.... He is no yes man, he obviously wants a major say on transfer deals and targets and if the club wanted him badly enough to sign a contract of terms that he set outlining he’s requirements then they surely mean serious business this coming season. I...

Slightly more optimistic about this now we have Bielsa although I have a feeling he will be calling in favours and hitting the loan market hard.

I think we have zero chance of Hernandez the board know it but are clinging on to a hope so that the fans remain positive.

Wait 10 seconds before a close X appears in the opposite left hand corner, the right hand one is a fake x
