Leeds rumours 3

29 Aug 2024 12:50:52
Stop all these rumours below. I'm getting excited and don't like it.
Ao Sallai and Hamer. Bring it on.

29 Aug 2024 13:15:21
it won't be both Sallai and Hamer - one or the other imo.

29 Aug 2024 14:31:52
Agree, and agree again.

29 Aug 2024 16:16:01
Don't think it will be Hamer although he's probably the best choice. Cost more than Utd want to pay. Price may go up if Portuguese sniffing around rumour true.
Sallai offers more options across the front and we're relatively well stocked with midfielders and others who can play there at a push.

29 Aug 2024 16:50:55
“Than Utd…. ”. You mean “us” or “we”? No dig, just confused.

29 Aug 2024 17:09:14
No offence taken.
I'd be surprised if Leeds stretched to £15/ 18 million. If they do then it's a good result. But not holding my breath.

29 Aug 2024 17:22:11
Maybe I should say the bean counters don't want to pay out that sort of money but many clubs are restricted by FFP. Maybe why Burnley have lost so many and not finished yet.

29 Aug 2024 18:21:06
That's exactly why Burnley have lost so many Dunelm - along with players not wanting to.

29 Aug 2024 19:37:44
Add Weghorst to that list of Burnley departures. Ajax bound.

30 Aug 2024 11:59:16
And Tresor and McNally (bit part player) . May lose Trafford today and would have sold Lyle Foster but it fell through.
Allegedly Benson available but nobody's done anything concrete yet.
Maybe we will if Sallai falls through?

30 Aug 2024 14:14:19
And Vitinho gone back to. Brazil.
It's like Elland Road 12 months ago.

29 Aug 2024 12:08:12
Offered £10m plus Piroe for Hamer.

29 Aug 2024 12:17:04
Now that's interesting.

29 Aug 2024 12:21:42
They will no way in hell want Piroe the Donkey!

29 Aug 2024 12:25:20
Add the other donkey Bamford and Piroe and they may think about it.

29 Aug 2024 12:30:08
Think Piroe would be great for them. Everyone else doing the graft around him. It’s a very creative offer! What did we pay for JP?

29 Aug 2024 12:49:34
Serious Alf?
That’s not a bad offer. He may work well for them.
They got to consider that definitely. If true.

29 Aug 2024 13:07:40
I thought it was around £15m Brighty but that might have been 'with add ons'. Club are denying this btw so who knows if it is true.

Piroe a great player but doesn't fit our system - that's the main issue we have.

29 Aug 2024 14:33:42
Indeed Alf. I do kinda feel sorry for JP, as it’s just not working out for him, and it’s really his fault is it?

29 Aug 2024 16:18:53
Square pegs and round holes. He could go elsewhere and hit 20 plus a season again.

29 Aug 2024 16:51:42
Indeed Dunelm. He isn’t a bad player, just not suitable for the way we play.

29 Aug 2024 09:52:01
9ers aiming for another 2 after Tanaka which should be done tomorrow. FB and another.

29 Aug 2024 11:59:19
Bloody lovely news this. Wijndal and Hamer or if Hamer is too much then Wijndal and Sallai. Preference would be Hamer, though. We win the league with him.

29 Aug 2024 12:22:05
Rumours are sallai deal is done.

29 Aug 2024 12:31:34
I’ve read that too MoT. But think the new move on Hamer might mean we haven’t given up yet. He is the magic one we need, but Sallai would run close enough for me.

29 Aug 2024 15:58:45
Genuine question for the football eggheads; why do we need another midfielder?

We have Gruev, Rothwell, arranson and amperdu. Is it for extra cover incase people move around in the formation?

29 Aug 2024 16:53:31
That was my thought too MoT, in an earlier post. Perhaps a sign that the formation may yet change. Hamer and Sallai do offer versatility in the positions they can play across the middle and / or upfront too tho.

29 Aug 2024 22:32:24
Four midfielders plus Tanaka and Charlie Crew plus WG slotting in if required, which he's more than capable of doing. Don't need any more. Farke likes versatility and Sallai offers that plus some pace.

29 Aug 2024 22:33:35
Wait and see if we get him. Not sure but think there will be someone late on.

29 Aug 2024 08:06:05
Ao deal should be done today.

29 Aug 2024 09:21:04
Yoi newsu desu

In Japanese.

29 Aug 2024 09:49:47
€4m and contract until 2028.

29 Aug 2024 12:16:45
Him and ramazani are going to light the league up, aren't they? I can see them both being superstars.

29 Aug 2024 14:36:47
I can see Solomon doing the business when he gets his opportunity too. I think if we land those we are anticipating, it will have been an excellent window!

29 Aug 2024 16:00:37
Agree Brighty.
The tactical versatility along will be brilliant.

Tanaka feeding balls to Joseph, arranson, gnonto/ ramazani or James/ Solomon will be fun to watch.

I'm excited to see what we look like when we return in September. It's going to be fun.

29 Aug 2024 16:55:38
Excitement is the key word for the potential of this window innit, MoT!?
We thought we were spoilt last season with our attacking options! We could line up like an Ossie Ardiles / Kevin Keegan team this season!

28 Aug 2024 20:28:21
So we are in for Tanaka now, don't know much about him, but we were linked with him last year too. Be a great song on the terraces AO, Let's Go, and maybe a good position to get some more advertising revenue from the popular electrical retailer.

28 Aug 2024 21:37:49
That song is a reason not to sign him.

28 Aug 2024 22:52:03
What's wrong with the song ER?

29 Aug 2024 01:28:25
Get him in. He's quality and just what we need. Do it. Do it now.

29 Aug 2024 09:47:37
ER not a Ramones fan I guess.

28 Aug 2024 18:12:50
Club are definitely interested in Owen Wijndal and are actively pursuing Gus Hamer.

Don't go to bed just yet.

28 Aug 2024 19:28:37
" actively pursuing ☺🤣😆😂

Get your pjs ready fellas 😂.

28 Aug 2024 17:51:06
Phillip Billing unwilling to drop to the Champo, which rules out our competitors as well as us thankfully!

28 Aug 2024 08:51:04
Owen Wijndal is the latest name I have seen a left back at Ajax over to those in the know to say if he is worth 8.4 according to rumour.

28 Aug 2024 10:02:33
Owen Wijndal wants to join Leeds United who have shown the most serious interest for the player. Ajax prefer to sell but a loan with option to buy seems most likely.

28 Aug 2024 10:46:09
Wijndal was class a few seasons back but I've not watched him recently. If he's found his form again he'd be a really good signing.

28 Aug 2024 12:29:21
LUFC hierarchy recruitment

Previous 40 days

1 permo signing
1 crock loan

Way to go fellas

Little less speculation more action eh

Promotion is a MUST!

28 Aug 2024 12:41:27
Baz,

Bogle, Rothwell, Largie and Solomon. We know there's a good chance of two more coming in.

Rumours say at least one more going out.

28 Aug 2024 13:08:18
MoT. You will learn that Baz is “selective with facts”.
His motto is “ Keeping it real-ish”, and his claim to fame is “100% always above approximately 74% accurate”.

28 Aug 2024 13:12:19
If that is the case we are going to have one of the smallest or the smallest squad in the championship.

28 Aug 2024 13:40:42
Loads of freaks seem to be moving late tbh. At least we're bringing players in and not losing then like Burnley and Sheff are (potentially)

28 Aug 2024 13:55:13
This owen from Ajax looked a great 2 seasons ago but where linked with every Tom Dick n Harry.

28 Aug 2024 14:07:02
Sober good and gnonto prob and bad.

28 Aug 2024 16:03:46
Brighty just to correct yer

94% accurate 👌.

28 Aug 2024 17:20:46
Lol. Fair enough Baz. Touché.

29 Aug 2024 07:55:28
Deffo meant to write teams and not freaks 🤣.

27 Aug 2024 22:46:40
Joffy linked with a move to Plymouth.

28 Aug 2024 01:03:21
If we get these targets, he should go and keep Gyabi company and learn from his so-called comparator.

28 Aug 2024 05:49:30
Think it would be good for his development tbh. He's definitely got some talent that needs nurturing, but he's not going to get it with us. He could strike up a decent little partnership with Hardie at Plymouth.

28 Aug 2024 07:09:09
Yeah. Can he take Bambi with him as a or something.

28 Aug 2024 08:15:36
The thing with Joffy is that he is caught in no man’s land. There is definitely talent there, and he will develop, but there is a glass ceiling above him here, and the u21’s is a no go. He needs a move where he is going to play full matches, week in, week out, with a good coach. (Don’t think that’s Rooney, but he was a great striker) . Plymouth would be ideal.

28 Aug 2024 10:44:24
Maybe Joffy could at least pick up a few positional and finishing tips from Rooney, and then push on when Plymouth get a proper coach in.

28 Aug 2024 10:49:46
Bang on, Brighty. Looking forward to Baz saying it was a bad move by the board 3 seasons down line and that he should've played 🤣.

28 Aug 2024 12:26:23
Ha Dill very droll but FACTS are as my bro Georgey and others know and concur

From the VERY START I have been vocal against the sales of

1.Leif Davis
2.Charlie Cresswell
3 Mattheus Boguzs
4 Max Dean

And to a lesser extent.
5 Cody Drameh . but there was no way back once he was publicly thrown under a bus

Letting Davis and Cresswell ( and for pittances ) are truly monumental gaffes

It looks like Bogusz is too

Congrats LUFC! Remarkably well done 👏

#keepitrealfellas.

28 Aug 2024 13:10:26
I don’t recall you EVER being vocal about MB, and only vocal about LD in hindsight. But hey ho, I don’t actually give a - - - -.

28 Aug 2024 14:28:57
Well said Brighty.
Bazza stop repeating yourself you old git.

28 Aug 2024 14:33:15
Can't keep everyone, mate. 3 players left and dropped down level (s) to get game time. So they clearly weren't ready for first team when we had them. And Cressy wasn't going to start over Struijk, Rodon, Ampadu and to a lesser extent, Cooper (although could arguably have been given some minutes over him at points) . Just the nature of the game. The fact Davis had gone on to success some years after Leeds doesn't mean it was a bad decision at that time. It's retrospective determinism, because you're assuming their career progression would've been exactly the same had we kept them at the club. When in reality they would've been worse off because they wouldn't have played and wouldn't have progressed to the same extent they have. And the reason they progresses is because they left and got playing time elsewhere.

28 Aug 2024 16:07:06
. agree to a certain extent Dill re can't keep everyone.

But the likes of Roberts, Cooper, Forshaw were the ones to move on . not Davis Cressy and the like.

28 Aug 2024 16:09:28
Brighty can assure you I did. not that it matters if you concur or not

Corkster go easy on the ageism bs .

28 Aug 2024 22:44:57
Baz mate I’m just worried about you. Get yourself tested for Alzheimer’s as you literally repeat yourself on a daily basis.

27 Aug 2024 18:17:36
Ao Tanaka from fortuna Düsseldorf supposedly next one inbound! Just under £3m release clause. Flight leaving soon!
Still after Hamer, tho Blunts have upped the asking price to £18m.

27 Aug 2024 20:58:41
A. O Let's Go! Quality signing at that price. Guess we're finally getting a proper number 8 🙌.

27 Aug 2024 21:21:03
Pay the £18M. Guarantees the title.

27 Aug 2024 21:36:19
Tanaka is a class act.

27 Aug 2024 22:18:11
Think he'd be a game-changer too, George, but don't think we'll pay it 😪 would be the most expensive signing ever by a Champo side.

28 Aug 2024 08:17:15
I honestly would push the boat out on Hamer, but doubt we will, esp if we land Tanaka. Tanaka is very well respected and rated highly; I’m surprised no one else has snapped him up since we tried last season.

28 Aug 2024 10:10:08
Reckon we could get Hamer for less than £18m. Similar situation to Bogie, player wants to go so all Wilder can do is get best price. so meet in the middle, £15.5m should do it?

28 Aug 2024 11:15:56
Would like to hope that could happen spendido….!

28 Aug 2024 22:47:27
Tanaka looked great in the World Cup but I’m a bit worried why no top flight club in Germany has come in for him?
