An opinion piece on one of the sites has the views of 4 pundits regarding whether the new keeper from Real should go straight in net, or sit on the bench until BPF provides further reason for being dropped. Personally, I am grateful for Bogs efforts, but I would put the new guy straight in. I have wondered a few times WTF is he doing out near the halfway line, as against Derby, when he could have come unstuck and his kick to the Derby player's head was also reckless. At times he has fallen lucky and I reckon he has a couple of seasons before he will be a first teamer. One for the future as we say.

Tory His medical results won't be known until probably Thursday. I'd therefore have him get used to atmosphere and soak in a game and to observe what's required first. Then, unless BPF pulls off a couple of worldie saves and a clean sheet against Stoke I'd put him in for the next game.

he is a bit rusty by all accounts so maybe throwing him straight in wouldn't be a great idea. MB will know best i'm sure.

Think we should show more respect to BPF a young guy thrown in at the deep end.

Agree with George

Let the new guy acclimatise first. I am sure he is a consumate professional and has been involved in many huge atmospheres, but he is human. Get the boxes unpacked at his hotel. Meet his new teammates. Checkout the Leeds atmosphere

If BPF is the difference between us going up or staying down then I don't think we deserve to go up. We should be working as a team and winning as a team. Roofe has made as many mistakes as BPF but we support him through thick and thin

I am encouraged by the fact we are only looking at players who can compete in the Premier league. Really don't want to see us using our money on stopgap for this season.
I don't think Sol is an upgrade on Roofe or Bamford. I would prefer us to loan Llorente for 6 months.

absolutely Wex - he saved us last year when all we had was the hopeless Felix and has done really well this season despite a few hiccups. Even top keepers make mistakes so we shouldn't be so hard on a lad who is still learning. Plus, if we get someone else in and he's in the first team when will BPF get his chances to play and grow - hopefully not just in the U23s and cup games or he won't develop as well as he needs to.

Defo with the “let him settle camp” on this one. It’s going to take 3 or 4 weeks for him to get used to his new team mates, learn the Bielsa way, and get sharper.

I think he'll be playing after the Stoke game, I also think he'll be impressed when he walks out at ER, after the somewhat dull and quiet shed in Madrid. axe, with you on signing PL class players, no point in "proven Championship players"

He has to arrive first, but if he does, is it really Bielsa style to throw him straight in? Might we see him at Tadcaster next Monday?

My gut is that Bielsa will want him to soak up the atmosphere and show how good and how ready he is in training. Once he’s done that, he’ll be in the team.
