Controversy around Cody Drameh’s January exit from Leeds United took all the fuel it needed from Marcelo Bielsa’s parting comments on the right-back’s decision. Malice was never Bielsa’s style, but it was hard to feel Drameh would be immune to the cutting remarks which were made at a time when Leeds were desperate for bodies.
“No, I didn't think he needed to play games elsewhere,” Bielsa said at the time. “He was a player that was very necessary with all the absences we had, but he preferred to go and play outside of Leeds in a situation where the opportunities for the youngsters have increased clearly.
“In this case, Drameh would prefer to experiment outside of our team. I consider that position valid and I don't think it makes sense to oppose him.
