Eddie Nketiah (14)

[UFGN]

I couldn't bare it if he came back with a Yorkshire accent, calling everyone Duck and with a pipe smoking habit

2 starts for England U-21 (Total of 166 mins → 2 goals)
2 starts for Leeds U-23 (Total of 90 mins → 3 goals)
2 starts in the League Cup (Total of 168 minutes → 2 goals)
4 sub appearances in the Championship (Total of 78 mins → 2 goals)

Total of 502 mins → 9 goals
= 56 mins per goal

He's a goal scorer in the mould of Ian Wright.

Ian Wright works with him on a one on one basis

With a strike rate like that why are Leeds not playing him???

Because apparently Bamford is the better fit in terms of all round play

Bamford is utter shite. An average championship striker who does nothing better than hold up play for others to join in.

Eddie is a goal poacher, why did Leeds bother taking him on loan if they only see him as an impact sub. Their team needs to be set up in a way (much like Arsenal used to with Wrighty) so that he can score 20+ goals. From what I have seen of their team, the only player that offers flair and variety on the wing is Costa who has already combined with Eddie.

If Leeds are too scared to risk Eddie he should come back to Arsenal, or go to Bristol. Lets just put it this way Eddie has played in a bigger game than some of his teammates at Leeds
will ever get close to ie Europa League final.

[Fenice]

I'd be for this. Wasting his time where he is.

...and a hat trick tonight for England U-21s.
Think that is 12 goals now in about 700mins of play.

[Phil71]

Yep.

Pointless sending him somewhere else to sit on the bench. Should be playing every week.

[Nuggets]

Yep.

This, WTF does Leeds want, move him or bring him back.

Apparently Bamford is better with his back to goal and links up better with the players around him and, even though he doesn't quite have Eddie's predatory instincts, it's something Bielsa considers vital to his teams' setup.

What doesn't help is that neither player is versatile enough to be accommodated in another position and the fact that Bielsa has been averse to partnering them up in a two-striker formation.

Well then given Leeds knew they were getting a goal poacher, why did they sign him on loan. Did they also think Eddie who had just played in a Europa League Final would be happy with warming the bench for a Championship side. He spoke out about this last night.

It's up to Leeds really, they aren't the best side in the Championship but Eddie gives them something they don't have a proven goalscorer. f**k building the attack around Bamford, they need to find a way to incorporate Eddie into the team so they get the most out of him. Otherwise he might as well come back to Arsenal. Emery said he was ready to play Eddie in a lot of games this season.

[theHotHead]

Makes no sense why Bielsa took Nketiah in that case, its no secret how Nketiah plays

[Ach]

Bielsa is a shit manager. Bring Eddie home

[jayramfootball]

We should bring him back.
He'd be better off getting game time in the cups and EL and some PL experience than playing for Leeds U-23's and a few Championship level subs appearances.
