Leeds rumours 3

02 Sep 2025 16:19:33
Alf/ LAD - any idea whether the Club is actively looking at the remaining free agent market? No need to name names.

02 Sep 2025 17:53:02
I would hope they are!

02 Sep 2025 18:17:35
So would I Feath. Failure to bring in (at least) one of the decent options out there after the end of the window would be heaping folly upon folly.

02 Sep 2025 21:20:28
I haven't heard anything concrete.

02 Sep 2025 22:14:12
Nothing, does not seem to be a likely option.

Seems the (main members on the) board don't trust Farke and others that do, don’t have enough power. So top chiefs disagreeing on management and not wanting to commit to farke transfers coupled with possible inexperience has lead to this.

As I said I don’t personally think it’s been a great window but I think we’ve got a solid experienced side with internationals that should be capable of keeping us up.

03 Sep 2025 08:50:01
If the main Board members don’t trust Farke, why didn’t they just say thank you Daniel but it’s time we all moved on, then bring in someone they believed they could trust.? The Club being stuck in a halfway house in terms of decisions, with half-hearted recruitment isn’t actually helping anyone. Starting off the new season with an under-strength squad puts the Club on a path for likely relegation, with Farke facing the prospect of being labelled a Prem failure again. Getting in a decent playmaker would help any manager, not just Farke, so why didn’t they at least ensure they did that?

I generally try to be positive about our Club’s prospects, and of course I very much hope that the current squad performs above all our expectations. However, unless our medical team can keep DCL, Nmecha and Okafor fit for most of this season, and Farke (or his supposed replacement if we don’t garner the required points in the next month or so) doesn’t unlock some hithertoo unseen creativity within our current squad, we seem likely to be in for a very difficult and ultimately unsuccessful season.

I can’t help thinking that Farke making it clear right at the beginning of preseason that Bamford, Greenwood, Gelhardt and Gyabi weren’t part of his plans and leaving them training separately can’t have helped us to move them on quickly, or for the best PSR outcomes. All in all, no-one within the Club hierarchy seems to have covered themselves in glory during the transfer window.

03 Sep 2025 12:43:10
If that is correct LAD then that is an utterly ludicrous and playground attitude to take. Either back the guy or get someone you do trust because doing what they are is only going to impact the very soul of Leeds, its supporters the club and the city. Also if they think that by doing this they are going to engineer a situation whereby they can say told you so and justify sacking DF they are lower than a slugs nadger.

03 Sep 2025 23:25:49
They tried to get some1 in the summer, but none of their preferred options wanted to come.

So they didn’t have a choice but to stick with farke but unfortunately don’t want to stick with him enough to back him.

01 Sep 2025 20:00:42
Nope. All done. Fulham change their mind at the last minute and nothing for Hamer. That's us done so we will see what happens now for the rest of the season.

01 Sep 2025 20:18:11
Disappointing. Both them players would have helped us especially on set plays.

01 Sep 2025 20:31:15
Fulham changed their mind because we lowballed them?

01 Sep 2025 20:32:58
I'm afriad it seems this lot are just as much of a bunch of chancers as the last lot.
All the talk of spending to the limit. blah, blah, blah.

01 Sep 2025 20:35:24
Strategically poor for the Club to get into an end-of-window position of depending on a deal with a potential bottom-half rival, which had every incentive to string us along then leave us empty handed with no time to look elsewhere.

Given the injuries to Amps and Ao, I’d be more than happy with us bringing in free agent Brownhill, who can play also AM, knows where the net is, has a very decent set piece delivery, and apparently wanted a move to Leeds. He could yet end up going to another Prem team - maybe even back to Burnley - and, if so, would almost certainly have a hand in a goal or two against us that could very well be the difference between us surviving or going down.

01 Sep 2025 22:11:42
Disappointing end to the window…. We are definitely missing that creative player in midfield, it has been evident in the first 3 games.

Time will tell, but this will hinder our chances of staying up. Getting someone in during the Jan window may be too late.

01 Sep 2025 22:39:19
It's most likely that Fulham decided not to let us have Harry Wilson because their move for Tyrique George from Chelsea fell through.

01 Sep 2025 19:41:15
Still a chance for Wilson and Hamer. Deal sheets in allegedly. Will have to wait and see.

01 Sep 2025 19:55:43
Nizaar Kinsella from BBC saying Wilson staying at Fulham.

01 Sep 2025 19:56:44
I’ve heard the sheet went in for Hamer, haven’t heard about Wilson.

01 Sep 2025 19:56:48
Graham smithy claiming no deal sheet for Wilson.

01 Sep 2025 20:07:44
Sources at Fulham say they wanted 10 Leeds would only pay 7 typical Leeds penny pinching.

01 Sep 2025 20:21:26
Last year of his contract but surely a deal could have been struck?
Say 8 mill with add ons if he played x amount of games and we stayed up.
I didn’t expect Marks n Spencer shopping but definitely not Asda!

01 Sep 2025 19:35:56
Alf/ LAD - Does anyone have an idea whether a deal sheet was sent in for Wilson, or has the potential deal now totally collapsed?

01 Sep 2025 19:48:32
Apparently it was submitted but I don't know for sure. SSN saying it was.

01 Sep 2025 15:34:16
Anyone else hearing Harry Wilson?

01 Sep 2025 16:12:42
You know sometimes you take against a certain player and can’t really explain why? For me that’s Harry Wilson!

01 Sep 2025 16:13:10
Yes mate. Scroll down, mentioned the 3 we are after around 10am this morning below,

Think Emi was 1st option then harry with Gus being the last option if other 2 fail.

01 Sep 2025 16:19:47
Hearing it's on and off. So no clue what's going on Chris.

01 Sep 2025 14:49:11
What about a free agent Alf?
Some rumours about Josh Brownhill possibly?

01 Sep 2025 15:08:38
Harry Wilson a go apparently.

01 Sep 2025 15:16:22
haven't heard anything about Brownhill myself. adding free agents is possible at any time as far as I know.

01 Sep 2025 15:47:47
SSN just confirmed we are in talks with Fulham for Harry Wilson.

01 Sep 2025 17:53:10
Brownhill has been in talks with Leicester, Southampton and Wolves. Looking for minimum £100k per week. A free agent so he can wait until after the deadline when deals have fallen through. I'd still take him but with lower wage but a signing on fee.

01 Sep 2025 20:02:28
Brownhill to Wolves. Done deal.

02 Sep 2025 12:39:30
Seems Brownhill hasn't gone to Wolves as reported on the Beeb. Sorry for the false info gents. Personally I would take him for us. Good player.

01 Sep 2025 13:36:48
Buendia not happening - Villa won't do a loan and some sources now saying that's it for us this window.

01 Sep 2025 13:56:16
Surely this can’t be it…. We are going to struggle that’s for sure.

01 Sep 2025 13:59:41
Bloody well hope not!

01 Sep 2025 14:12:28
If so it’s a disgrace.

01 Sep 2025 14:38:59
If true they are taking an enormous gamble. We go down their investment and future plans will be in shreds. Would have been far less risky to just chuck a load of cash about and overspend.

01 Sep 2025 14:42:02
Harry Wilson.

01 Sep 2025 12:58:20
Private Jet added from Cariff to LBA. Wilson flying from the Wales training camp?

01 Sep 2025 13:01:24
I did see this and was wondering who could it be? Get that welsh connection in.

01 Sep 2025 12:48:06
Buendia.

Tyrique George.

01 Sep 2025 11:45:18
Beundia is allegedly our main target at the moment.

01 Sep 2025 12:06:08
I’d take that he looked lively last night.
