Bielsa is the arbiter of truth. we play the most beautiful football outside the prem and it's a joy to watch.

if he wants rodrigo then he's good in my book.


we aren't going to be in a relegation battle and it's unrealistic to expect champions league football the first season up. However, I'm pretty sure our chances of relegation are less than European football next season.
Ok, agreed as to what Bielsa did with a mediocre squad, never questioned that, but we differ on GKs as BPF was, by some measure, better than Casilla.

Sorry, but Bielsa is NOT an arbiter of truth, only opinion, until his opinion is borne out by performance on the pitch which I maintain is the ONLY true arbiter.
