Jean-Mattéo Bahoya

I knew that was going to Neptune.

I would have preferred Bahoya coming on.

Not a wing-back, though, but I would have preferred Bahoya getting minutes.

I'd say for James, six and a half, because...

I mean...

But he has a problem with wingers that have a bit of personality.

And my, my whole point to the call was that Bahoya lad.

We've got a lad that we signed, uh, from Frankfurt in the summer.

Mm.

But when you're, when you're 3-0 up, dominating a g- game at home, and you've brought a young winger, and you need to blood these players so that you stop relying on the old heads.

Do you know what I mean? Why are you bringing old, old heads on at 3-0 nil? Blood the young players, get them out there.

We never did that with Nonto, and he never did it with Ramazani, and it looks like he's not gonna do it with Bahoya.

So-

And we don't know how good they are.

You know, Bahoya, you know he's quick.

But what else do we know about him? He's going to play tomorrow night.

We could have a serious footballer on our hands.

We've got a squad full of players that are just competitive and they want it and they're hungry for it.

Yeah, and as a few of the guys have said in the comments, these cup games are massive for fringe players.

If Longstaff or Bahoya come in and do you know, do proper bits against a really good team, then Farka's got another selection headache.

And you're sort of thinking, do I stick Bahoya in for this Newcastle game at home and have Okafor off the bench, for instance, or something like this? You know, if our players are performing well, even in a loss, You know, it's giving Farka something to think about.

He couldn't be like that to me then.

and I'd have to shut up I'd have to shut up but there you go there you go being close to some of those things isn't good enough no that's the point you're absolutely right Sean Collins should have got Bahoya on loan it was there to be done and we let Leeds do it and we should have done it there you go there you go what can you do erm yeah we lost Garner as well didn't we Garner Gay you know he was I know some people were having a go at him or whatever but in general I think most people could see he was he was he was excellent I don't know who Luke's saying who's played oh was he saying about Balogun Luke I don't know said he's played 70 minutes in nine months I don't know who that is definitely not Balogun hasn't played since the World Cup has he no no but yeah not yet but we did nearly miss out on Fafana and Hector 4 because we didn't go for them we only miss out when we want and we don't get and yeah that's the thing poor Well, Fofana, imagine last year when Fofana was running an iron.

If Dan went, I'll tell you what, I'll jump in my Spitfire and go and have a chat.

He'd

Yeah.

But you do wonder how much of a nod Bahoya got that Leeds were going to make that move on that final day when he pulled out of the deal to go to Hull.

Yeah.

You think there was probably a text sent to an agent somewhere along the line.

He does both those jobs.

Getting him higher as well, that was the forward play they needed, albeit not really the centre forward, more of a more of a winger sort of attacking player.

So I think they might need a little bit of luck with their centre-forward fitness, which they had last season.

I think they've definitely got more quality not sure they've really got that much extra depth but again I think everything's very positive around Leeds with the way the season started they're going at it from a good place and unlike Hull's signings I don't know about the latest two new guys but certainly the guys signed before deadline day apparently all speak decent English most of them speak German as well which is obviously the manager's language So I think integrating those guys would probably be an easier job than it is for Hull.
