There have always been some of the intake from last season who were ok/good (Saiz & Alioski in particular). Few of the rest are still with us (Ekuban and Anita being significant amongst those), and if they can be made good, somehow, more strength to Bielsas arm, but no more "bargain bucket" trawls, be more incisive in who we recruit from here on, then we don't have the burden on wages of draoo players and the club can focus on making diamonds out of the rough
So then Orta should stay if we're as successful as you hope Bielsa can make us, as it wouldn't be Orta's recruitment that would've previously been the problem, it was the managers, should Bielsa succeed with the same players, bought predominantly by Orta?

I totally disagree with you on that, as I think Orta's recruitment is poor so far, but I think you're also in danger of disagreeing with yourself from what you've said previously.

You've always laid much of the blame for our underperformance on Orta's recruitment, which I've often agreed with. But now you're saying Bielsa can achieve promotion with the self same players, if I'm understanding you right.
