Eddie Nketiah: 2019/20 Performances

[Preacher]

Why did we even send him there in the first place? Playing time is the most essential variable to look at in a loan, we just seem to want to send a player to a club that makes him happy.

Waste of time.

We became victims of power points presentations two times in a row now. We should know better by now

I think Eddie already knows that - otherwise he'd have chosen Bristol City IMO. That said, we do still have to decide what's better for his career with us in the long term - staying at Leeds and fighting for scraps, or going to Bristol City and getting far more in-game experience than he's currently getting. It's the same league, just more game time - which ultimately is the main thing he lacks, not ability.

Yeah Bristol City would be a good move for him. Lee Johnson is a decent manager too.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Bit harsh to send him to Bristol Rovers

City not Rovers. My bad. Although Rovers would have been better than Leeds it seems lol.

Nketiah playing right now as a starter. It seems that poor Gibbs is still struggling with injuries, just got subbed after 20 mins.

 

[chessygoal]

Subbed at half-time for Bamford. It's really harsh, he barely had any service and made plenty of runs.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

The only good thing is that we can still use him and bin Lack-of-threat!

 

[OnlyOne]

Think we should cash in on him now, should get around 8 million!

Subbed at half-time for Bamford. It's really harsh, he barely had any service and made plenty of runs.

It's not, Bamford is much better for Leeds.

 

[Maybe]

It's not, Bamford is much better for Leeds.

Without a doubt. Don't understand why is everyone so eager to send our young players to Championship where flair, creativity and technique are only some strange words. The league is built for bodybuilders and grunt workers which Nketiah surely isn't and Bamford is.
There are different leagues in Europe which are more suitable for our young players to develop.

Didn't look arsed which I didn't like but it's clear now that he's a bad fit for them, the service into him was more geared to a target man for sure. Nketiah's link-up is decent but perhaps needs work at a higher level. He's a capable dribbler but maybe needs better back-to-goal play in case he needs it.

That said, he needs to go somewhere he will play often. This was only his 2nd start in the league and I suspect he was given that start because he's going.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Should have known. Bielsa is a bum manager. Taken him ages to get Leeds to the PL. Loser of human being.

 

[Bosniak Gooner]

English players should start going to Italy and Germany on loan.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

 

[MutableEarth]

Played like it aswell.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Excellent news.

 

[PoleInGoal]

Think he should be loaned out again second half of the season.

 

[say yes]

Leeds’ fans aren’t that bothered.

Need to find him a loan where he’ll actually be used now.

 

[<<reed>>]

Playing so few minutes for Bielsa is a big L for his CV

 

[Pepes blue pill]

Should have known. Bielsa is a bum manager. Taken him ages to get Leeds to the PL. Loser of human being.

You take that back, bielsa is a legend of the game, cant wait for him to be in the prem next season

 

[Bosniak Gooner]

Nketiah should be going to Germany or Italy where poachers are thriving, he is just going to stumble his development by choosing another Championship team. He has some decent qualities but still needs a long way to develop into a EPL striker...

Championship is literally the worst place to be a young, fragile striker. Down there its all about brute strength, work-rate etc... Technique goes out the window, its all about the grind.
