Any Topic Going formerly Transfer Rumour s

From his press interview the other day, write up on youths expected to leave. Bearing in mind they spent quiet a bit so far this window on 7 or 8 talents to pad out their U23s.

Bielsa’s third year feels like something of a transitional season for many of the club’s brightest under-23 prospects, especially after promotion to the top flight.

Leif Davis, Jordan Stevens, Bryce Hosannah, Robbie Gotts and Alfie McCalmont are all into their 20s now without any real possibility of first-team football barring an injury crisis. As highly rated as they are, they, their agents and their families will know they need prolonged exposure to competitive football sooner rather than later. Bielsa last week admitted loan exits are on the way.

“All the players who won’t have a chance in the first team, we will try to give an option for them to out on loan,” he said ahead of the win over Fulham.

McCalmont left on loan to Oldham yesterday whilst Gotts is joining Hull on loan today it looks like.

 

Fair enough, if we get him let's hope he improves us! Just think we are starting to get alot of inexperience in key areas, fair enough if we have a young pacey striker but defense is starting to be v young.

 

I respect your opinion on McCall's merit as a manager, fair enough, however, referring to him by crude names is crass, ignorant and totally disrespectful to a genuine club legend

 

Yeah because clubs in premier league have never sent highly rated players to the lower leagues? Harry Kane for example

 

McCall hasn't done anything to warrant these sort of comments. By all means question his mangerial decisions but lay off the insults, they're becoming tedious.

 

That kid Burke did ok

 

I have always said that as a player he is arguably the best to have played for Bradford City.

However as a manager he is McCrap and because of his standing as a player no matter how (Mc)Crap his performance is he is Teflon.

if I wasnt too damn lazy I could trawl through all the comments and find many equally as insulting about Hopkins, Bowyer, Grayson et all with no one asking that we don’t be so insulting. Why should Manager Teflon be treated any differently?

 

Are you been deliberately vague?

My initial point was certain fans impatience with Evans when he was first here. You then posted that 'intelligent' reply and then you got an answer to that

I can't believe that you think incessant abuse of any human being in whatever form is justified. Or doesn't it matter if it's a footballer? Would you be as indifferent if it was one of your family members?

 

The three you mention were passing ships that didnt sail very well in the Valley Parade waters. McCall doesn't deserve the insults you throw in every post.

I am not his biggest fan as a manager, however, would never resort to your crude insults.

 

If i'm not mistaken, which i'm not, McCall got us to within a hairs breath of the championship. Not only did the three you mention not do this, the football i had to endure under their tenure was as painful as anything i'd had to endure in my 40 years of watching City. Look, i get you don't like him and nothing he will do will as manager will change this. Just becomes tiresome to read when you shoehorn it into every post.

 

Your "if you can't take criticism" is brilliantly ironic, when discussing tolerance. In other words footballers should be tolerant to whatever abuse is thrown at them, because that's, er, their job.

I assume this applies to every other job roles and careers? Can I abuse Amazon because they were late with a delivery? How about my local pharmacy who allowed me to electronic book a slot for a flu jab, when they weren't' even open?

 

The fact you have to even ask makes me wonder if you've seen any football under any of these manager. Very strange

 

I believe he will learn far more with regards the game even at league two level than he will playing U21/U23 football.

 

More than OK mate just as Josh did, both had a big impact on the squad.

Huh? There's a difference between criticism and abuse. Where have I said it's ok to abuse anyone?

 

I will give you a quote from that most excellent of cinematic productions, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, "If you aren't first you're last"

So we finished second I think? Therefore he has effectively won the same amount of promotions as Hopkins, Bowyer, Grayson etc with Bradford City.

I will leave you to do the math on how many that is.

If coming second, nearly getting there is your measure of success, then we have the right man.

 

What are you even talking about now? Bizzare

 

A nerve has clearly been touched
