A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to Joe Lolley’s tweet in which he praised Marcelo Bielsa and described him as an “incredible coach.”
Would Lolley be a good signing for Leeds?
Yes, versatile attacking player
No, not a position Leeds need to strengthen
This has led to some Whites supporters asking Lolley if he fancies swapping Nottingham for Leeds.

However, some Nottingham Forest fans are not happy with this tweet from their winger.
Be careful Joe, I’ve heard he’s been having you watched! ?

What do we think?
The 27-year-old, who is valued at £5.4m by Transfermarkt, is one of Forest’s best players, and he is clearly an admirer of Bielsa, but that doesn’t mean that he wants to leave the City Ground for Elland Road.
However, Lolley is a player who could improve Leeds because he can play on either wing, and in 92 appearances for Forest, he has scored 20 goals and registered 19 assists.
Lolley, though, seems like he was just admiring Leeds as they went toe-to-toe with Arsenal and were unlucky to lose 1-0 after dominating the first half of the match.
Bielsa had his team well set-up, and they caused the Gunners a lot of problems, but they could not get a goal and were ultimately punished by Reiss Nelson.
