Did Leeds United manager Bielsa leave Easter Egg clue to next transfer deal

It’s January, the transfer market is picking up pace – something that is to be expected. But other things are picking up pace, like Easter Eggs being on the shelves a full three months ahead of April.

I’m not here to rant about shelf-stocking policies of retailers, but I am going to write about Easter Eggs. OK, not the chocolate ones that in no way symbolise the death and crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ.

These Easter Eggs are those little hidden clues and secrets used  by the likes of film-makers and video game creators to allow eagle-eyed users to access varied or different content.

In that vein, Leeds United fans are beginning to comment on an ‘Easter Egg’ that manager Marcelo Bielsa has ‘left’ hidden in plain sight. These fans, as illustrated by the following tweet, might have unearthed a Bielsa Egg that links to Leeds United’s transfer thinking.

Earlier today we wrote here on The72 that Leeds United were willing to meet Swansea’s valuation for young winger Daniel James. However, does this from Bielsa strip a whole level of veneer away from the supposition that has been put forward and attributed to ‘sources’?

Circled, rather crudely, on Bielsa’s desktop is a folder entitled ’20 JAMES WIN SWANSEA mp4′. This was spotted after the Argentinian stunned assembled journalists at a hastily arranged press briefing with a coaching masterclass. The reason for that – to highlight just why he didn’t need to ‘cheat’ by spying on Derby County the day before Leeds United took them back to school at Elland Road.

That folder, sat there on the desktop of Marcelo Bielsa’s laptop is just beckoning Leeds United fans interest. The links to the player hinted above now take a different perspective.

20, well that refers to the squad number that Daniel James currently has at Swansea. Then there’s the ambiguity of the word ‘WIN’. Has Bielsa only compiled a dossier on the games that JAMES has played in that have resulted in wins for the Swans? And then there’s the ‘mp4’ – does this show that the legendary Argentinian has been compiling video footage of the rapid Swans winger?

Whatever is happening with the transfer of Daniel James, it does appear that there’s more than speculative interest in the young flier. Next transfer saigning, maybe?
