Simon Kjær (AC Milan/ Denmark centreback) is on a free this summer. He's 35 but still has a couple of good years ahead of him with plenty of international and European football experience.

Played at Wolfsburg, Roma, Lille, Sevilla, Atalanta and AC.

Would be worth an enquiry.

29 Apr 2024 14:12:01
How deep do our scouts go?
Sometimes I think a few posters on here have more idea of vfm.
There have been some knowledgeable suggestions from posters on here.

29 Apr 2024 14:37:09
A good few years ago now, but Jamie Vardy was under our noses at Halifax Town and he went to Fleetwood!

29 Apr 2024 18:57:21
Victor Johanson available for £1m, Rotherham are willing to sell since their relegation
Personally, he is a decent keeper but didn't have a great defence in front of him this season.

29 Apr 2024 19:11:03
A good gk is crucial to success Leeroy, agree on Johanson.

Victor Johanson is certainly far, far better than Gashlier. I recommended him last
season and this season!

If Leeds previous DoF had had a clue and had signed Johanson ( or of similar quality) last season

Then Leeds United would never have been R last season

and be safe and sound this season too.

Alternatively, if Johanson had signed this season Leeds would be going up.

29 Apr 2024 19:16:10
With 17 clean sheets, our cack keeper is still going to win the Golden Glove.

28 Apr 2024 21:06:53
Well peeps innit, I would just like to say, through several pints I have been on this site since the Brian MacDermott era I think, probably. The days of Survivor, of course George was there, also my very great virtual buddy Mad Mick on his scooter with a shell suit, whenst was born UTWDTP. Love an miss him very lots. The GFH era, the King of Corn. But, my point is, this site has been a constant in my life since then. A part of my family with valued contributors, whatever I say is meant from the heart and not as inflammatory or contradictory personally. As I have said many times we are a family and squabbles happen. But nothing is personal, just my opinion as all others have theirs. We are Leeds and it is unique, that is why all others are jealous, they don't have it so tear us down so they can sleep easy. On on on siblings, the future is bright, the future is WHITE ❤.

28 Apr 2024 18:28:19
Been trying not to think about Leeds until I have to next week.

So I was thinking about a question I could ask a knowledgeable statistician like 🤔 Google or Copilot 😁 They didn't have an answer.

I asked this question: Which British football club has supplied the most English national team managers?

Maybe I should have changed it to "the most managers to manage England" 🤔

What I mean for example is MK Dons have never had one of their managers poached to manage England.

Just wondering which club has supplied England with the most managers over the years?

See you also forgot about Leeds for 5 minutes, don't you feel relaxed and optimistic 😁.

28 Apr 2024 18:53:05
Ipswich 2 iconic managers poached Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson I wish FA had poached McKenna last summer ☀️.

28 Apr 2024 19:46:54
Leeds. Don and Wilko?

28 Apr 2024 20:54:04
Corky I think and original poster was alluding to poaching directly from the club

Sir ( Sir from my perspective) Howard Wilkinson wasn't employed as Leeds manager directly before he became caretaker England manager.

28 Apr 2024 16:46:47
I wonder which players Russell Martin will utilise against us at the weekend 🤔🤔
More importantly, we Daniel Farke be nieve and play them with a strong team, or will he be sensible and play fringe players and rest the regulars for the playoffs.

28 Apr 2024 17:49:11
That would really depend on what happens on Tuesday I guess.

28 Apr 2024 18:27:38
And even more importantly Leeroy

If it is indeed to be playoffs what is DF gonner do about his non existent midfield

Put our best mf Amps back in midfield?

Recall Kamara?

Play 3 in midfield?

Put AG back at RB?

It needs remedying asap.

28 Apr 2024 19:07:58
A little bit premature Leeroy mate.
Even In saying that we still need our best team out just in case a miracle happens and Huddersfield beat you know who.
If we are to make changes I’d bring Cooper, yes Cooper back in and put Amps back in midfield alongside Kamara.

Archie RB. Bamford if fit up top if not fit Joseph. Rutter needs dropping so if James fit he should come in with Gnonto playing number 10.
One last point. I’d like Creswell to play but he’s probably more rusty than Bazzas balls so a bit risky for him to come in at this stage of the season.

28 Apr 2024 19:20:55
I totally agree Baz.
Obviously Coventry v Ipswich result will have some bearing, but if we have nothing to play for on Saturday surely the fringe players should be on the pitch.

28 Apr 2024 20:38:06
We shouldn’t forget, Huddersfield pulled off that unexpected win against West Brom that confirmed our promotion last time.

28 Apr 2024 20:38:49
Leeroy yes DF needs to utilise his bench

Joffy, Cressy, Antony MJ should all have played far more .

As a tricky peedy RW in my prime I too am available for selection if DJ isn't fit yet.

28 Apr 2024 20:47:24
The midfield quandary is a huge question Baz. Honestly do not know what he will do. Not enough threat from any of the contenders, and therefore too much pressure / too many men on Gio.

28 Apr 2024 21:06:45
It is premature Corky, but I thought I'd ask the question
I totally agree with playing Coops, moving Ampadu into midfield and I'd pop Archie back as RB unless Connor Roberts is fit to play
Rutter can have a rest, play Paddy and Piroe up top with Joseph coming on at HT.

28 Apr 2024 22:20:21
Am I right in hearing baz say df should change his tactics, now I fully agree but more chance of platting fog, not once all season has df played anything else the 4 2 3 1. No wonder teams know how to play against us sorry guys starting to sound like a broken record ⏺️.

29 Apr 2024 00:21:26
Team and tactics for Saturday will entirely depend on the result tomorrow night.

29 Apr 2024 06:17:57
He played Archie in Midfield against Blackburn and QPR, it wasn’t because of Archie we lost those games but at the moment it’s not because he plays in midfield that we will have a positive result.
If fact Amps and Archie playing in their unfamiliar positions saw us go through a eleven game winning streak, explain that?
We have a lot of very talented young players in our squad who unfortunately at the crunch time haven’t shown their experience, because they simply don’t have any to not control their nerves and continue what they had been doing so well up to the international break.
Sadly we only have Bamford as our soul senior player who has been at the club long enough to help and encourage the youngsters through this crucial period on the pitch.

Farke can give them all the encouragement off the pitch but he can’t do it on it. The youngsters have done brilliantly this season and we can only hope if we don’t go up that the club is able to hold onto them, if they do I have no doubt we would end up Champions of this cursed league next season.

But whilst there’s still a chance of promotion I’m still backing Farke and his young charges to do the job, even if it’s the play offs.
For the posters who don’t want to believe and support Leeds Utd which includes our players and coach, please do not respond to my post and likewise I will not respond to yours.
MOT sometimes
ALAW sometimes.

29 Apr 2024 17:07:47
OP we can all hope even us negative poster and did you not know that pig can fly😂😂😂.

29 Apr 2024 19:11:57
Whitey also uniciorns, pixies and fairies 😀.

28 Apr 2024 14:49:47
Afternoon siblings, salutations. We'll, seems to me this season we have gone full circle on this form. Initially portents of doom and lucky to survive to heightened optimism and joy at our run. Now back to criticism and frustration. Sniping at and scoring points off fellow family ain't going to achieve anything, negativity only breeds negativity. This season was all about steadying the ship and rebuilding. But we are in a great place. Should we end up in the playoffs then our destiny is still in our hands. Now is the time for unity and support, the ride ain't finished so don't jump off. We are Leeds and whatever happens we always will be, we always take the hard road but that is why success is so satisfying. UTWDTP I am off to the pub 😁❤.

28 Apr 2024 15:15:56
Sugar coating the situation or disagreeing

The only people that can sort it are DF and the players.

28 Apr 2024 15:48:42
Vid are you pals with Rishi by any chance? 🤣.

28 Apr 2024 16:06:43
Chrissy. don't mention the 'R" word 🤣.

Maybe pals with the Dalai Lama though 😀

But in all seriousness Vid you are a good uber positive chap fair play
whilst still very refreshingly giving yesterday a fair, reasoned critique on QPR match.

Fair play.

28 Apr 2024 16:11:27
Lol, absolutely not Chris, just a bit sort happy to still be alive on a friday night rather than being bitter I didn't win the Euro millions. Pink an breathing is always a good place to start.

28 Apr 2024 16:20:07
CC 👋👍.

28 Apr 2024 17:45:23
I just don’t get it why is it that having an opinions on here that are not in line with others is negative criticism frustration point scoring and all the other ridiculous you not a Leeds fan, it’s a bit like politics you see it one way we see it another As negative fan see it’s doom we had it in our hand after a bad start come back after a Break and we are rubbish we just need to win to games and who knows. I will now be very negative I don’t see us in the PL next season and believe it will be a crap next season so post what you like about being negative because I don’t give a monkeys.

28 Apr 2024 18:10:37
Hear hear Whitey very well said.

28 Apr 2024 18:10:48
And there ladies and gentleman is self suffering in its full glory, transferrance of one's own angst onto another to alleviate the frustration.

28 Apr 2024 18:49:17
Who would have known that you had a touch of Sigmund Freud also in you Vid, 🤣

Hark at you, knowing so much about me, despite not even knowing what I even look like 🤣🤣🤣

Superman hadn't those powers pal.

28 Apr 2024 19:08:13
Good post Whiteman, I for one do not think you are being negative and I respect your opinion and in some ways I agree. To be honest I haven’t got a clue about what will happen this season never mind next season but what I do know is that I will still be a Leeds fan no matter where we are! 🤷🤷 Good post though mate 👍👍.

28 Apr 2024 19:13:05
Absolutely love Vids posts. Puts things into perspective.
A lovely gracious reply too Baz. I’m proud of ya mate.

28 Apr 2024 19:57:52
Thank you all for your comments, for what is the worth of anything without sharing x.

28 Apr 2024 20:41:17
Cheers 🍻 Corky.

29 Apr 2024 06:28:00
So if you want to see everything including when we lose in a negative way then that’s acceptable but if someone like myself who doesn’t it’s not acceptable?
To explain Whiteman, in football sometimes you lose or draw games, it does happen.
Unlike you Woody I can’t respect fans who don’t support their club when we have a bad period and are only singing when we are winning.
Fickle.

29 Apr 2024 15:01:34
We are not all of the same opinion about the why’s and wherefores OP but we are all Leeds fans! I’m a very optimistic half glass full man but even I am dumbfounded as to how we have ended up so defeated from the jaws of victory, it has been such a capitulation since the international break that a few of us are scratching our heads in disbelief! There are some on here that will say they predicted this but it is what it is and like I posted no matter what I will always believe in Leeds and support them in every way through thick and thin in ups and downs! 👍👍.

29 Apr 2024 17:29:27
Woody excellent post mate even us meaning me negative are still a true supporter of out club but some would still say we were in the premier League if we were in division two can’t see the wood for the trees never mind you have to pity pity them they still thing gold grows on trees.

29 Apr 2024 17:34:35
OP never ask for your respect I don’t as I said give a monkeys what you or anyone else things a true supporter would see the good and bad about the things they support unfortunately you brain can’t cope with that😌.

28 Apr 2024 13:41:44
What happened to piroe?
I've been think why has Joel not worked this season at Leeds.
Was it extra pressure? A semi big move to a big club can get into the head of a player. Expectations are higher and the pressure a footballer puts on himself can be greater.
Is it the different system or different role?
Having watched his goals for Swansea there are a lot of him just stood in the box an the ball played to him or arriving in the box late. Maybe our players are just not looking for him in the same way.
Being a big fish in a little pond at Swansea Maybe their forwards looked always to play him in?
Maybe he hasn't integrated into the group very well or is a bit of an outsider.
Or maybe the intensity of playing at a top side means he cannot find the same space as he did.
Anyway it has not worked. I think most of us had him top scorer this year. Will farke persist with him next term or is he destined for a loan etc.

28 Apr 2024 14:14:00
How about putting DF out on loan next season!

28 Apr 2024 17:19:28
🪝 Yes and to your neck of the woods.

28 Apr 2024 13:26:56
The form table for last five puts us in bottom 2 of league. That is not stuttering it is total collapse.

Amazing we still have small chance of autos ( c'mon you skyblues)

Playoffs at minimum where we really shouldn't fear anyone - get some confidence back into the boys somehow Farky.

28 Apr 2024 19:09:15
Totally agree 1970 👍👍.

28 Apr 2024 20:49:04
It is a shocking stat! 😳🫣.

28 Apr 2024 12:15:59
Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are "one of the most dynamic and entertaining teams" in the Premier League.

Just thought everyone could do with a good laugh on a Sunday afternoon.
You're welcome!

28 Apr 2024 12:48:59
Interesting timing to ridicule an Ambrosia manager when a former Ambrosia player (also Canary which may help further) largely gets to determine the remaining Championship auto spot and it could go in our favour.

28 Apr 2024 13:03:18
Entertaining they are for other fans to ridicule.

George is correct re timing.

28 Apr 2024 13:09:51
Yes bright I've been most entertained by the capitulation to lesser teams this season.
I very much how they let Chelsea beat them a few Thursdays ago.
All they need for next season is some red noses. A small car on which the wheels and doors fall off. Oh and a couple dozen buckets of confetti.

28 Apr 2024 13:34:18
Agree white. Long may it continue. Both mighty Man U and chelski.
Truth be told. Neither will be in top 4 for many many many seasons.
Frigging hilarious.

28 Apr 2024 15:58:09
Timing is irrelevant. You two just wanna sit in a puddle of cack and bring everyone else into it. Robins is nowt to do with Man Utd anymore, nor do Man U have anything to do with our division, so just keep floating down poop creek, and hold yer bitterness for whatever, or whoever, it is to yourselves. Don’t drag us into your dirty protests! 🫣🧐😤.

28 Apr 2024 16:53:44
Robins? Paul McKenna more pertinently.

Anyways Bright as I said as your " boxing coach " I do promise to not throw in the towel when you step into the ring with Big Mike Tyson

Unless you change yer mind 🤣.

28 Apr 2024 17:18:37
Drag? You do that yourself. You the smoker 🚬. 🤣.

28 Apr 2024 18:33:00
Baz I want to help you train Brighty too. 🤣🤣.

28 Apr 2024 19:43:30
Dear oh dear…….

28 Apr 2024 11:00:34
If we do end up in the play offs and despite our horrible form I believe we will still go up.
Southampton and Brom are on a losing streak. Norwich and Hull hard to beat but not exactly winning all around them.
Leeds v Norwich final?

28 Apr 2024 11:24:23
Tip for the day Corky : don't put a monkey on it.

28 Apr 2024 12:03:43
I agree Cork, Norwich WBA and Southampton all stuttering. Also the pressure on Ipswich to win or win and draw their next two games will be ramping up big on them. That’s not saying the pressure hasn’t got to our team either but just to say nothing is decided yet.
Baz just wants us to fail because it suits his agenda and that is very evident.
I couldn’t give a monkeys what he and any other poster wants to write to trash our team and coach because supporting and not degrading my team is all I want to do.

28 Apr 2024 12:22:00
if it goes to playoffs then we have as good a chance as anyone else and it can be super exciting in knock out games so I would look forward to it.

None of the top teams seem to have done well under pressure this year.

28 Apr 2024 12:23:41
The return of the caustic soda master! Good of you to join us. Farke tactically inept. I support my team by revealing the truth emphasized across the board from many content creators (some of whom held in high regard by the 49ers) .

28 Apr 2024 13:02:16
That’s your opinion Mr. I Give up, I only support my team when we are winning. That’s is the truth George, you are incapable of supporting your team win or lose.
You are just like a child who didn’t get all the presents he wrote on his Santa’s list.
Got no time for fickle fans like you.

28 Apr 2024 13:07:41
Hmm another rant from OP; error strewn as ever too.

28 Apr 2024 13:09:43
OP stuttering 😂😂because they have nothing to achieve there in the playoffs they will be up for it them you will see if you can’t now.

28 Apr 2024 13:19:46
Any sensible comments from you OP on the Leeds "performance" at QPR?

28 Apr 2024 13:54:00
We didn’t play well Baz, it’s not rocket science, nerves are affecting our young players, that’s it.
Whiteman people like you only see things one way, basically you blinkered in your loser mentality.
I leave you to wallow in your perpetual misery.

28 Apr 2024 14:12:10
Leeds lose 4 nil ; OP one line glib assessment ' we didn't play well " 🤔

Any reasoning at all OP? 🙄.

28 Apr 2024 14:32:17
Southampton lost 5-0 for no good reason than that what I’ve already explained, it happens at this pressure point of the season. It happens like it is in the Premiership, you accuse others of being naive Baz but you are perhaps the naive one?
The knee jerk reaction of wanting to now sack Farke and get rid of certain players is typical of certain fans who know or understand very little about professional football and competing in very competitive hard fought leagues like the Championship.

28 Apr 2024 15:09:59
Southampton were playing best team in league Champions Leicester OP . Leeds were playing playing QPR.

Entirely disingenuous of you to blame that abomination solely on alleged " nerves " of a bunch of 20 something internationals.

Conspicuously not even a mere mention from you of DF team selection, game management to change it before it fell apart so quickly

Nor no mention of player desire, application, player in fighting on pitch. lack of team spirit.

28 Apr 2024 16:03:48
Rise well above the pits of doom OP. You make a fair assessment that most agree with on here. The negative attention you appear to have drawn this season from the Chuckle brothers is totally unwarranted, and it’s great that you continue to post despite their best efforts to belittle you! Keep going fella!
MOT.

28 Apr 2024 16:22:15
Totally agree baz zero effort or desire farke needs to up his and their game.

28 Apr 2024 16:38:50
Indeed Stubs disingenuous and nonsensical to suggest otherwise

Au contraire Bright sorry fella but it is indeed wholly disingenuous of OP and you. You won't find many if any who will concur with " nerves ". as the one and only issue .

certainly not any of the many Leeds United content creators.

28 Apr 2024 17:22:53
OP I was right all along with tiredness and rotation. Posted it in good time and before the content creators. Just admit it instead of disguising my excellent advice before the event into your propagandizing mendacious invention.

28 Apr 2024 18:58:09
If our lads were suffering nerves, What's story then with QPR, fighting relegation?

Is that a stroll on beach in budgie smugglers?

Or were they all dosed up on xanax as they didn't seem too nervous, just far far hungrier for win.

28 Apr 2024 20:47:44
Spot on reasoning Chris.

28 Apr 2024 20:54:09
Disingenuous? How? That one puzzles me, as certainly honesty is something I practice and preach, and was shown to do so since nipperdom….? Baffled.

28 Apr 2024 10:44:10
I think the playoffs will test farkes management skills or lack of, personally don't think he has it in him last few games have shown that something is missing qpr game especially.

28 Apr 2024 11:27:04
Agteed 2 stubs.

28 Apr 2024 13:11:57
Stubs I fully agree we will see if he has what it takes. Because if we don’t it will be a repeat of the beginning of this season with lots of players leaving for sure.

28 Apr 2024 20:55:10
That last bit is a definite Whitey, but I think we wanted most of them to leave last year. This year would be a bit different I reckon?
