The amazing thing is, I have asked these so called Leeds bellends what has beilsa actually done to make them think he's a top class coach? Still awaiting answers.

How do Leeds think the loan system works with younger players and development?
The only answer given is we are Leeds.

Some of them don't just think he's a top class coach. They actually seem to think he's the best coach in the world at the moment. It's truly bizarre.

I wonder if their view will change if he decides not to sign a new contract. I know it's unlikely but it would be very funny

Jesus wept their love for Bielsa is tragic.
If he is such an incredible manager how did he fail in taking them up from the championship in his first season at Leeds?

Last top flight job (job prior to Leeds) was in French league with Lille. Released many established pros, brought in a load of new players, shocking results, suspended then sacked in under 6 months. He was a total car crash. God my arse.

And fell out with our very own Yves Bissouma, by making him play at right back.

Oh, they’ve topped that one. Did you know that Bielsa “laid the foundations” to make Messi the player he is?

If you wait long enough they'll claim his brilliance made Stanley Matthews, Pele and Don Bradman and that he discovered the first dinosaur bones.

And fell out with our very own Yves Bissouma, by making him play at right back.

All part of the plan to make Bissouma a better midfielder, us mere mortals don't understand his methods.

Brace yourselves for this. Some class A delusion right here.

Doesn’t understand how buying and selling works [emoji3581]
Doesn’t understand how clubs use the loan system [emoji3581]

Whelan urged Albion to be realistic in their valuation of White, who he claims is desperate to return to Leeds this summer.

“He has had one season in the Championship,”*he told Football Insider.

“Brighton were not even bothered before that.
They are holding Ben White to ransom because of one good season.
“A great football player but it is not like he has been playing in the top flight, where you can command a fee like Nathan Ake. Right now, £22million for a player they have not even used is a good deal. It is a fair price for everybody. They need to be realistic.*

“I am sure Ben White would love to come to Leeds United and carry on where he left off this year. He feels settled at the club, he likes the lads at the club.

“We need Ben White. It might be a case of an initial £22million and we rise it to £27million if we stay in the Premier League – that could be a goer. That might be tempting to them.”

So like most Leeds fans, Mr Whelan doesn’t quite grasp how buying and selling works.

Ok mate. Let’s use your logic. I’ve decided that your house is worth £200k. That should be enough I’ve decided. Don’t be greedy. I expect the keys next week, thanks.

I've honestly never seen anything like it. They must have all come out of the woodwork since Bielsa came on board, it was never this bad when we were both in the Championship.

Truly astonishing levels of delusion.

I've never known a club where former players seem quite so keen to talk about their transfer targets throughout pre season.

Every day there seems to be a new former Leeds player (Jermaine Beckford yesterday) saying that Ben White is desperate to play for Leeds and Brighton should accept any offer from Leeds. It's very odd and another reflection of the lack of class from Leeds.

The same Jermaine Beckford who couldn't wait to leave Leeds? A classless turnip of the highest order who wants Ben to behave like he did?

Me neither, but if ex keeper Paul Robinson is to be believed, then [MENTION=38362]vagabond[/MENTION] is spot on, why give away or be so desperate to sell a player who many think is this good.

Holy shit this is frankly embarrassing.

There’s some bizarre assumptions in here. The first one being that we want to sell him.
The second one being that we should sell him to Leeds.

All Leeds have done so far is massively inflate his value with their free marketing. They’ve made so much noise.

If Brighton play this one right the club and player will be known all over the world. We’ll certainly sell a lot of Ben White shirts.

Assuming Leeds continue an ultimately unsuccessful pursuit of Ben White..... then they are wasting precious time that could be spent on a suitable replacement.

They could end up panic buying in September......

It’s a bit odd that Man City would ‘cart’ Jack out to ‘rot’ at Leeds on loan when he could be playing in the City 1st team. Clearly he just isn’t rated very highly.

Don’t worry about paying those bills or paying into a pension fund Ben, all that history at Leeds will cover them.

He forgot sticks of rock and the fact that he is under contract to us for a couple more years

Wouldn't have minded Gelhardt coming here for the under 23's, may come good in a couple of years. If he had we could have loaned him out to Leeds.
