I remember seeing Clarke come on as a sub and he played 30 min
and was blowing hard, and looking knackered, and just could not
track back, lost the ball continuously and I wondered what is wrong with the boy.
Does anybody remember that, or did I just dream it?
No you didn't dream it Rab
Clarke was puffing & blowing after three or four runs down the right flank & appeared completely knackered after twenty minutes in our home game v Reading last November
I believe I mentioned it on our Leeds v Reading match day topic at the time
As I say if someone wants to give us (blow) 10Mill on Clarke then yes please..I'm perfectly happy if he stays but 10 mill for someone completely untested would be a bonus. He's probably the 5th best player in our U23's

He was industrious and clearly Bielsa liked him. Maybe he'll be less eager to show off and more focused on production next season...
If we're relying on loans, then we need much better. We can't afford to carry passengers again with Pablo 34.
Not sure about Rads not supporting Bielsa ..but if the fans were the "Chairman" it sounds like most would over rule their managers wishes ...
I'd have Harrison back in a flash, came from playing in the States which is a massive disadvantage, got better as the season went on and now has a year in the system. Work rate is excellent and he certainly has talent and vision. He'll be a good fit for us next season if he returns.
Nothing being said about Harrison this season that wasn't said about Phillips last season by fans

Whilst his output could have been better, and probably will get better his defensive work often went unnoticed. In the Derby matches alone he got back to get a crucial touch to deny Derby a goal in the first game (where the ref gave a penalty and then overturned the decision) and in the second match he had got back to be in the perfect position to mop up the loose ball when Cooper needlessly gave a penalty away. That is why Bielsa likes him as he fits into the system in a way that someone like Harry Wilson possibly couldn't.

Bielsa wants Harrison back on loan according to Phil Hay. God knows why! I'd rather have Izzy Brown back.
Because he is stubborn. He obviously sees him as a player in the making, and also he is cheap.. For me playing Harrison and Tyler Roberts in the midfield together is one of the reasons that teams find it easy to defend against us.
At least with Izzy we dont know what we missed..

Those scored a combined 7 goals and got 5 assists between them. Like I said, we can't rely on Pablo carrying us again. They need to start contributing. Their finishing is woeful.
Being linked with Saeid Ezatolahi on a free transfer from FC Rostov in Russia. Played for Reading on loan last season, but got injured for the season after 4 games. Their fans are raving over him, but then again they think Lewis Baker is good, so who knows. He played for Iran in the WC last year.

One player I really think we should go for is Reece James, looked an absolute beast against us on that fateful Good Friday game. He can literally play all over the park as he showed that day and financially wouldnt be a problem ; if Wigan could afford he's wages I am sure we could. Chelsea are bound to loan him out again, so this is an ideal chance for us to get the guy.

You're right. A good player, who would give us options in several areas of the pitch. Not sure that the transfer ban that Chelsea will be under next season will affect the number that they make available for loan.

Is this a compilation of all the times he gave the ball away and fell over?
