man in the middle Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Don’t know what Leeds said to him to convince him to sign but Bielsa historically never changes his starting 11 unless has has to due to injuries, that’s why they burn out. So he may have a long wait. I’m sure he’d rather be sat on Arsenal’s bench. Rather have Afobe now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I don't care but more importantly I suspect neither does he and neither do Arsenal. Emery was happy to have him sat on the Arsenal bench all season but from the club's point of view it makes financial sense to get Leeds to pay to have him sat on their bench instead.

Which suggests that developing him by getting regular game time was not a priority for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman_Stand Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Quite happy with Afobe so far, as LJ said with Pack going out late in the window his experience will be key. If we had landed Nketiah and still lost Pack we would have a very very young line-up at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old boys network trumps the practicality of trying to get 3 points. Orta and Emery may not have done Nketiah or Arsenal any favours. At least LJ did the pitch for BCFC...

Surely if they rated him as much as is claimed he wouldn't have been behind Nelson who is I believe younger than Nketiah? sounds to me like another in the long line of young arsenal players that don't make it at their level.

TBF he played very well against top European sides. He certainly has the potential but it may be that his development may be stifled with Leeds. If Bamford keeps scoring then Nketiah won't get a look in. Bielsa won't drop Bamford for him while he is playing well and if the hierarchy try to get him to play Nketiah he will walk as he's done before.

Guest Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I hope he hardly plays, along with Bielsas previous loans he will be getting himself and Leeds a bad reputation, which will mean other top clubs won't want to send them their fringe players in the future. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
