A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to Marcelo Bielsa’s comments on transfers and, in particular, the need for a striker.
The Argentine claimed that Leeds “Need one striker as soon as possible.”
Will Bielsa get what he wants from the Leeds board?
Yes, they have to listen to him
No, they have let him down before
However, he said that if they don’t find the player he wants, then they will “Find a solution.”
This has worried many Leeds fans who feel Bielsa will not get what he wants.
Bielsa on signing a new striker: "We need one striker as soon as possible. If we find the ideal player, good. If we don't find the ideal player then we will find a solution." #lufc

So another words we won’t sign a striker then…. Just more excuses for the owner not to put his hand in his pocket

The man has spoken. Get him what he needs, he couldnt be clearer.

He shouldn’t have to find a solution the club should give him what he wants

Other Whites supporters are suggesting potential strikers.
Dwight Gayle surely couldn’t be happy at the minute, he’d be ideal!
Otherwise it’ll end up Dallas leading the line for the rest of the season.

What do we think?
It is very clear that Bielsa wants a striker as, at the moment, he only has Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts as options – so he recognises the need to replace Eddie Nketiah.
Bielsa, though, refused to be drawn on speculation linking the Whites with Che Adams but insisted that he wanted a striker who has similar qualities to Bamford.
Leeds still have over three weeks of the window left to bring in the striker that Bielsa craves.
