Rodrigo (the one we've got) is an interesting one! I live in Valencia so his going to Leeds has attracted a lot of attention to us. He was adored by the fans and the ones I've spoken to are gutted by his loss. Last year was a bad year to judge anyone from Valencia . But previous to that he was a key part of a side playing very Leeds style attacking football.
I think he is a Bielsa style player, loyal to the club, hard working, puts team before self and flexible. The fact Bielsa has played him so quickly in three games in a week, shows he thinks he was ready. His problem is going to making a position his own to get regular game time but I think he'll come good .

Spaniard Beg to differ. Probably a good player but from what I've seen don't see him being a success at Leeds. A financial error on our part. Insufficient promise of reward for the risk taken. In light of the %s I outline in my post to 1970 which I think will prove to be accurate, we've paid over the top by £10m. Only redeeming feature with his acquisition is it seems to have stirred Paddy to focus more than ever and bring his best game.

Judged after not even 3 games.

Richie True. We shall see if my opinion is correct soon enough.

In the words of 1 of the greatest bands of all time George, How soon is now? Ha ha, good point you made about Paddy though, he really seems up for it, anyway keep up all the great posts boys, great reading whilst sitting on the throne 😂😂😂😂.

Of course he’ll come good Spaniard! Just takes time to bed in, get up to pace, and understand what’s required of him. Which with MB is not simple. The man is a Spanish international! Only a plum would question his credentials, and offer an opinion on market value, surely? 🤔🤔🤔🤫.

Bright Credential check not the issue. I accept he's an international. I question his ability to integrate into our team, the English game itself and the PL which has sped up a fraction in recent years. We are managed by a foreign coach, a world class one. but it's still the English game and I'm concerned.

Good post Spanish. Nice to get the drift about players I’ve only seen in an odd champions league game.
As usual George is playing percentages. If the lad works out he will say he pointed that out and if he don’t say I told you he was not suited to premier league or something to that effect.
“Probably a good playerâ€
Did I read that correctly Georgy?
Say no more.

CCCP You're utterly correct. My opinion pure invention and unreasonable. I was not swayed whatsoever by the penalty he conceded costing us a point.
I was on the contrary exhilarated by it along with his other contributions and as for Edmondson I only know about him because I bumped into someone in the mess whose brother's tennis partner's servant knows him well.
Apparently he's awful but I intentionally inverted that view in order to suit my fictional malignant agenda as I play on the minds of all Leeds supporters worldwide from my covert underground lair replete with internet access and mutating algorithms.
All my football knowledge and understanding of LUFC is derived from untrustworthy sources and therefore my opinion invalid. Foiled again by the Babycham master.
