Saying we have offered 39 for Larsen. Bloody hope not. If we pay that I will want a 20+ striker.
1.) 26 Jan 2026 06:58:15
Aus, I’d tend to agree but given the ridiculous prices of an average player these days £40m get you maybe a 10-15 goal striker.
20-25 goals is in that next bracket of say 60-100m and even that doesn’t guarantee that goal tally.
It’s crazy and ruining the game.
Look at Man City, spent over £400m since the start of last January and Pep recons he needs £200m more to get them back on top!
That’s the problem.
2.) 26 Jan 2026 07:36:26
Agree Aus.
3.) 26 Jan 2026 09:15:40
A 20+ Prem striker costs about £70m these days, it's not 2008 anymore.
4.) 26 Jan 2026 09:47:14
Yeah I know Dave. Top 6 and other pretenders willing to buy multiple players at over 60 mill each. None gone for Larsen though.
5.) 26 Jan 2026 11:10:34
DCL and Nmecha were free and DCL (last I checked) topped the charts for most goals for a signing this year.
By those standards, JSL needs to win the golden boot.
6.) 26 Jan 2026 11:44:21
Alongside DCL, maybe he could Mo?
7.) 26 Jan 2026 12:44:26
Big bar stewards FC would be a laugh with the triple barrels up front and the speedsters of BA/ FB behind.
8.) 26 Jan 2026 17:24:19
Strikers only score 20 plus a season if they're in top six teams. I know a quality striker will part of the reason the team ends being top six, but my point is, if Haaland, Kane, Salah, the Newcastle version of Isak et al were playing for us or one of the teams around us they wouldn't be scoring anything like the amounts they do for the clubs they play for.
They would improve us for sure but a 25 goal striker at say Arsenal would maybe get 15 for us. So we can't sensibly expect 25 goals a season from JSL or anyone else just by adding him. to our squad. I genuinely think if DCL had been. at Arsenal this season he'd be in the running for the golden boot. I hope Arteta doesn't visit thos site.
9.) 26 Jan 2026 18:47:54
In Leeds’ top flight history only 3 players have score 20 goals (league) , these were Charles, Chapman and Viduka. Demanding a 20-goal striker for £30-40m is just stupidity. Whilst some players have done so multiple times (Shearer, Kane et al) there occasions are relatively low compared to the number of opportunities there have been.
There needs to be a serious reality check when making demands of managers/ owners when making signings. Is JSL the absolute best striker about, no he isn’t. Is he bloody good, solid and a premier league standard player; heck yes.
10.) 26 Jan 2026 18:56:56
Aus, they did! Newcastle offered £55m for him in the summer, it was rejected by Wolves and Newcastle turned to Waldermader instead.
11.) 26 Jan 2026 22:07:01
In my first season watching Leeds, John Charles scored 38 goals, for a 46 game season. Now there was a player who really deserved the accolade "great".
12.) 26 Jan 2026 23:07:51
Sell tanaka, buy JSL and another defender.
13.) 27 Jan 2026 12:32:01
Doesn’t this JSL debacle sound eerily like the summer Paxiou pursuit, focus all eggs on one player to whet the fans appetite only to only lose out at the last minute to another team! We tried! If as said we are only 1 million short on our offer why not just pay the million and get it done, or do we wait for Palace to get involved and say he wanted to go to Palace! Smoke and mirrors, I’d love to be wrong .
14.) 27 Jan 2026 13:19:56
All a show to them. As proved in summer. Throw so many players in the mix and then can’t be blamed for missing out.
Nobody else wants this guy now. No way they should be offering more than 25. What’s the point.
15.) 27 Jan 2026 14:19:28
Its flabbergasting how little understanding of our current situation, the modern game or the way clubs work is being shown by some of the comments here.
words fail me!
16.) 27 Jan 2026 15:23:40
I have a very good understanding of how the modern game works, I have not much of an understanding of how our club works, except going off recent transfer showing ins, spent the whole summer telling us they were pursuing Paxiou only to lose out to Marseille, surely you don’t have to be Einstein to work out he’s was never coming to Leeds, so just saying it’s screams of wool pulling over eyes .
All of our summer incomings from what I can remember, correct me if I’m wrong were announced namely out of the blue, then concluded quite quickly! None dragged on he whole window, I’ll bow to your superior knowledge if you can correct me! West Ham for example name Castellana after we Namecheck him and sign 2 strikers within a couple weeks of announcing interest, as informed by a trusted colleague of mine, why does Leeds business sometimes complete early and others take so long, namely when they don’t happen at all!
17.) 27 Jan 2026 17:21:57
The club ain't claimed interest in anyone this window. It's the media.
Agree Alf. Some of the demands in here defy logic.
18.) 27 Jan 2026 18:39:48
So no bid has been made and refused for JSL, it’s just been made up by the media, that makes sense!
19.) 27 Jan 2026 23:24:04
Raggity, how does the media know we’ve bid on JSL? because someone told them? (if true) (in this case it’s true) and who gains by letting the media know they’ve bid but not at asking price? Who gains by adding pressure to the situation? Who possibly gets more money if more suitors are interested? So it’s clearly isn’t Leeds united leaking this to the press, and if it’s Wolves doing it then do you think it’s as simple as adding a few million onto our offer and clicking submit?
It’s not fifa or football manager where you click a few buttons and you have a new player.
20.) 28 Jan 2026 07:17:25
There is multiple devices for communication as it’s 2026! if Wolves have leaked the offer to the press to invite other interested parties, whom they haven’t revealed yet it’s hardly rocket science or a new concept? By evidence our tpeople have encountered how transfers work and how to get them done! Or am I mistaken? Has the concept changed in the last few months? If PSR is a problem why attempt to do a deal? Do they think Wolves will give him to us out of pity?
21.) 28 Jan 2026 07:40:22
To answer your question: you are mistaken.
22.) 28 Jan 2026 07:41:05
Don’t be mistaken I would love us to purchase JSL or any striker that could add a few goals to help us stay up . I just feel it’s a recurring theme near transfer windows nearing conclusion . A lot of speculation n, not much action, not just with the current owners, but the past ones also .
I really hope this time around something materialises . My opinion is with so much at stake we can’t gamble on what we have, as injuries may happen and we will be left short!
23.) 28 Jan 2026 08:20:14
We have to be careful not to overspend and refuse to get drawn into a bidding war. 9ers are walking the thin line between ambition and being sensible. We also have to realise where we are in the football pyramid. Paxiou chose Marseille due to their UCL status and I think links to his family (although might be wrong on latter point) . At the end of the day we can only make offers but it's down to other clubs and the players themselves to make the final decision. For the teams it makes sense to wait and see if they need to sell at all or can make more money so why would they make a decision early? One way around it is to offer silly money to force an early decision like teams such as Chelski and Citeh do but we are not in a position to make those kinds of offers or take such huge financial risks (due to PSR - not because we don't have funds) .
Therefore we are in the position we are in. The interest in JSL is real but Wolves are in no hurry to sell with plenty of time left in the window.
24.) 28 Jan 2026 08:27:09
Also the idea that the club only work on one deal at a time is laughable. We make 100s of enquiries and explore many deals in a typical window simultaneously (as do all clubs) but we do have to wait on priorities if we have a preference as we can't sign everyone. What we, as fans, see is only the top of the iceberg made up largely of rumours and leaks or even just guesstimates in some outlets.
I get the frustration but just because we can't see clearly what is happening doesn't mean that there isn't anything happening. Look at the deal for FB. I didn't see or hear a single rumour about that until minutes before it was announced and yet it happened. How long were the club working on it? Who knows - certainly not us.
25.) 28 Jan 2026 10:55:03
I agree Alf, but this is a rumour site where us fans respond to rumours! If we was all in the know there would be no need for this site or any need to comment.
26.) 28 Jan 2026 13:01:10
Your comment about the club making things up as a method of pulling the wool over fans eyes is bang wrong though Raggity - that's my point.
27.) 28 Jan 2026 14:03:20
That’s your opinion Alf and I’ll stand by mine .
21 Jan 2026 00:13:01
Schmidt rumour back on according to fabio.
1.) 21 Jan 2026 10:38:43
Can he be trusted or is he talking Schmid?
12 Jan 2026 08:18:42
Rumours are a medical has been booked? Any news fellas? Is it doe?
1.) 12 Jan 2026 12:05:00
i haven't heard anything - where do these rumours come from?
2.) 12 Jan 2026 12:28:47
I read that Berlin have a medical booked, likely for DDs replacement but nothing our end.
3.) 12 Jan 2026 13:55:09
Thomas Farke told me but not sure about his intel.
4.) 13 Jan 2026 06:35:10
Who is Thomas Farke?
06 Jan 2026 23:33:42
The longer we don’t buy or sell the more obvious it is we ain’t got the dosh.
Hope to be proved wrong by actually buying someone. Hate this linked crap.
1.) 07 Jan 2026 06:34:31
Think we have plenty of dosh for selling whoever we ain't, no? The question is more whether we need to sell, to buy, no? Patience.
2.) 07 Jan 2026 06:40:50
Bit odd to be a regular on a site whose primary purpose is to learn about links if you hate them.
3.) 07 Jan 2026 06:44:57
Good point Alf. It’s the banter that attracts me not the links.
4.) 07 Jan 2026 09:17:40
Farke has said no news until after Derby, we are too busy to look at it before then.
We have plenty of time to sign players.
For all the flack I've given 49ers, they're pretty good owners TBF. I trust them after summer as their signings were spot on.
Special mention to the steal that is GG, who seems as Leeds as they come.
5.) 07 Jan 2026 12:14:57
I imagine players would be identified before the window has opened? I can’t imagine the window opens and we are like oh right let’s now have a look .
6.) 07 Jan 2026 13:23:19
Bet underwood doesn’t even know it’s open yet.
7.) 07 Jan 2026 17:23:06
couple of points on the above.
1. we have got a lot of targets that have been identified longer term but we have a flexible approach and the players we actually get will depend on what we think is the right direction at the time of the window. The recent changes from Citeh onward will have changed our priorities.
2. Underwood is not the one identifying targets or certainly not alone. we are using a data driven model so primarily its the underlying data that helps us decide which players to bring in. Underwood just does as he is told.
8.) 07 Jan 2026 17:48:18
Underwood is an embarrassment.
9.) 07 Jan 2026 19:53:13
We only have "plenty of time to sign players" as long as the players we want to sign haven't been snapped up by someone else whilst we're still thinking about it. Castellanos was suggested but now he's signed for Spam, Dovbyk has been rumoured but Sunderland are allegedly sniffing round him too.
Wait too long and the only ones available are the ones no one else wants, and if our competitors don't want them, neither do we.
10.) 08 Jan 2026 13:21:58
For all of the negativity we had in the summer about the window, which player hasn't improved the team?
Perri is a disaster but I think he can come good.
Okafor needs a bit more time to bed in.
The rest have been excellent and have held off opponents ten times their value.
The recruitment in summer was indeed 8/ 10.
11.) 08 Jan 2026 14:51:23
Agree with everything there Mo, with the exception of Perri, who seems to be attracting all the negativity and responsibility for everything remotely bad.
He realistically had no chance with any of those goals last night, and I'd challenge any GK in the world to catch a ball cleanly with 8 players jostling around the catch zone! Newcastle's crosses and corners were exceptional last night.
The Man U goal was a 50-50 call, and he made the wrong decision; a lot of other keepers would've done the same.
Clearly bud, those comments are for everyone currently on the bloke's case, not just you! ??.
12.) 09 Jan 2026 07:23:22
He should have clattered into the players to catch the ball. That’s what goalkeepers do. Well most of them. He dived before the pen was hit so. Yeah coulda done better. He was lucky first goal was ruled out cause obviously had a girly grip on the ball cause the Newcastle player hardly touched it. Plus Man U goal. Adding up.
13.) 09 Jan 2026 17:08:48
Running like a prop thro a crowd of players, full rugby style, would achieve zero Aus, and certainly not end with him catching the ball.
Complaining about a penalty, when the taker is staggering his run is futile.
The Man U goal? 50:50 decision.
So far, you've added up half a point and nowt more.
14.) 13 Jan 2026 05:02:44
It sends a message bright ( stand in my way and you will get clattered ) and could result in catching the ball.
No 50-50 with utd goal. He had two choices. Get the ball or stay on your line. He did neither.
30 Dec 2025 01:15:10
Chelsea defender axel on our radar apparently. Hasn’t played much?

11 Feb 2026 13:15:16
Can somebody explain the handball rule to me please. I mean it was accidental and unavoidable but it was hand ball.
Commentators said if he had scored it would have been disallowed. Happy it was a goal but confused.
Okafor got some passion there. Always at the crowd.
1.) 11 Feb 2026 13:56:03
I believe the ref has discretion to let it pass as unintentional if it hits another part of the body first and then bounces onto the hand, which is what happened here - except if in the penalty box when any ball/ hand contact must not be allowed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
2.) 11 Feb 2026 14:08:18
That's more or less correct JR. Also makes a difference if it is the goal scorer or not. In this case the player alleged to have handled it wasn't the goalscorer so it was ok. Had Okafor been the one to handle it then the goal would have been ruled out.
3.) 11 Feb 2026 14:52:06
But it was a LEEDS player surely that is a lifetime ban for Bogle, and 26pts deduction?
Loved hearing Rosenior bleating afterwards about all you want in football is logic applied to decision making and fairness!
Like valuing your women’s team more than Leeds United and selling them to your own company or flogging a hotel to yourself or circumnavigating transfer rules with “swaps” from feeder club Strasbourg, cheats never prosper.
4.) 11 Feb 2026 15:52:17
How about praising our away fans trailing 2-0 down what do they do sang on about we marching on together and loving LEEDs till they die fantastic you all are they help Leeds last night what did Chelsea fans do being 2-0 up nothing and for the commentator, Mr. Merson saying game over at two eat your words.
5.) 11 Feb 2026 17:19:05
Yes the away fans are amazing.
Handball offence is committed when a player (except the goalkeeper in their own penalty area) :
- deliberately touches the ball with their hand/ arm
- touches the ball with their hand/ arm when it is in a position that makes their body unnaturally bigger and that position is not the result of their body moving fairly as part of play
- scores a goal against the other team with their hand/ arm or scores immediately after the ball has touched their hand/ arm (even if the touch was accidental)
There is also proximity, if the ball ricochets of another part of the body and hits the arm, or if a player is on the ground being supported by his arm and the ball hits that arm, it is not handball.
Again they are laws and therefore interpretation of said law is accepted. VAR will only interject if the center ref has made a 'clear and obvious error' when it's outside the 18 yard line.
Glad it went in our favour .
6.) 11 Feb 2026 17:54:44
Rosenior can kiss my white Leeds arse.
Fairness? Like a Chelsea player collapsing like Jenga tower in gale force winds and being awarded a penalty, yet GG was ragged to the ground and didn't get a pen because he went down too easy?
Keep sulking you linkedin twonk.
7.) 11 Feb 2026 19:19:55
Didn't hear him complaining when Palmer handled the ball in their area when attempting a clearance!
8.) 12 Feb 2026 19:10:33
Liam who?
Although he is benefiting a new manager bounce period, in twelve months or less from now, I can’t see him living up to the very high expectations of Todd Boehly and co. and will be surplus to requirements.
Just an another young coach who thinks he can take a short cut to the top.
??.
11 Feb 2026 01:36:36
Not sure how we managed to get a point there but will take it.
Very lucky. We were pretty poor for most of the game.
Bounow was the centre back chosen to step into midfield when we had the ball I believe. That’s why he was caught out.
Namecheck falls over more than ba. Good penalty though. Ridiculous penalty to give away. Very strange game. See we do get a bit of luck now and then. And above spurs. Loving that. Wolves and Burnley win? Keep palace in the mix, not sure?
08 Feb 2026 01:46:50
Could be a triple feature this week. Dyche. Parker and Howe.
1.) 08 Feb 2026 10:58:13
Frank, make it a quadruple.
Dyche to Burnley
Howe to spurs
Frank to Newcastle
Parker to forest.
2.) 08 Feb 2026 11:56:27
Frank too would be too much to ask for. Thought Ipswich would catch them but looks like a lot might. Binocs out for last game whoever they play. N.
3.) 08 Feb 2026 12:01:22
My bad. You meant Tom frank. Mine was wishful thinking. Two franks in a week would be awesome.
4.) 08 Feb 2026 12:12:09
I could see Dyche to Burnley and Parker to Forest, but not the other two. On this subject, what next for Glasner I wonder, and might Iraola be minded to move on from Bournemouth?
5.) 08 Feb 2026 23:19:10
Glasner to Man Utd unless Carrick puts a spanner in the works.
6.) 09 Feb 2026 08:01:32
Carrick got to get the job if he carries on like this. They’d be mad not to.
07 Feb 2026 04:26:46
Happy with that. Good all round team performance. Outplayed them pretty much. Every player had a good game. Beautiful pass gruev. 3 well taken goals. Nuff said. Well done boys. Win I praise you. Lose I don’t. That’s just me.
Ba looked like he had been mud wrestling when he was subbed. I’d of taken dcl off at 3-0 but anyway. Happy days.
Go clarets.
1.) 07 Feb 2026 07:49:31
Aus 100% mate great all round everyone did there bit only down side we let on in. Bet you someone will pick a hole In BA again?♂️.
2.) 07 Feb 2026 09:15:45
But the heated question is still there Aus, do you still want Farke sacked now? Not in the summer because that's not want you want, you have repeatedly said, especially after the Everton and Arsenal games you want him sacked now.
3.) 07 Feb 2026 10:00:29
And to answer your question. I’d sack him today if it was up to me. Amps and cal apparently helped him out at city. Since then the team and tactics have saved us. Thanks to amps and cal. Farkes in game management and subs are appalling. So yeah. Get rid. This team don’t need him.
{Ed025's Note - you really are a piece of work Aus, im actually unsure whether or not you are a Leeds supporter at all or just a serial moaner mate, if you cant celebrate what is happening at your club at the moment then maybe you should take some time out and stop bringing the whole community down..
4.) 07 Feb 2026 10:23:46
No sure what you are trying to do OP antagonising a poster because of his view constantly as it’s something which you do not agree with, it’s his opinion like it or not, we win and you still have to bring it up. ??♂️.
5.) 07 Feb 2026 10:52:02
Thanks white.
6.) 07 Feb 2026 10:56:29
Enjoy the win boys. Farke will keep chipping away . God forbid players doing their job to help the manager out, whatever next?

No I have one which more then yourself. ?.
9.) 07 Feb 2026 12:53:14
Look way outnumbered there. Anyway. I will refrain from now on responding to your posts opti. Will continue with my positive posts when we win and negative when we lose. Ban me if you want Ed’s. All good.
{Ed025's Note - i dont really do banning Aus but come on mate you are just moaning for moanings sake, you are doing really well, playing good stuff and winning...whats not to like?, Farke has done really well i would say and yet you keep calling for his head, i think you are just throwing hand grenades in to be controversial and i will have different points of view but sometimes you are just being an arse..
10.) 07 Feb 2026 14:31:00
Aus we all love you mate but got to agree with Ed25 on this one.
I understand your opinion on Farke but let’s be honest he has done a relatively good job this season so far.
It is a bit silly to say sack DF after every defeat but at the end of the day that’s your right.
ALAW.
11.) 07 Feb 2026 17:05:59
It's only an opinion for Christ's sake we all have one, as for Ed's getting involved it's not your job chill out.
06 Feb 2026 02:01:25
Need a win and clarets to do us a favour although sky sports bet are predicting forest and spam wins which would really put the cat amongst the pigeons.
1.) 06 Feb 2026 09:37:23
Sky Sports Bet are bookmakers Aus so will obviously promote losing bets.
2.) 06 Feb 2026 13:29:24
That’s interesting vid.
So you think they would rather pay out more on losing bets rather than get it right. Bit confused here. But not a betting man so easily done.
Time will tell.
Got Leeds edgy win and claret draw.
3.) 06 Feb 2026 19:44:12
The bookies have us favourites at 11/ 10, Florists at 12/ 5 and a draw at 23/ 10, but what do they know!
4.) 06 Feb 2026 19:55:53
Well i was a betting shop manager for 16 years with Coral Aus, never take a tip from a bookie ? Basically their books are set up to win no matter what the result, that's why you see fluctuations with horses, greyhounds etc.
The book is set up by them then run by weight of money, so a horse is punted, it's price is shortened and others lengthened to attract money against it balancing the book. The book is supposed to be set at 113% so whatever happens they make 13% but quite often they get greedy lol. With footie you have a 1 in 3 chance so it's stacked for them and then they offer things like correct score, first scorer etc to rake in extra.
5.) 06 Feb 2026 20:58:04
Fingers crossed for a good Burnley win tomo!
11 Feb 2026 08:00:00
You wouldn’t want to be a foxes fan today. That takes some doing lol. At home too. Ouch. ?.
07 Feb 2026 08:57:05
Remind me what luton did Alf? That’s ridiculous. Prob knocked city out the cup or something ?.
06 Feb 2026 07:05:18
Think mot was right. Anymore would have given us the opportunity to sue them and league.
06 Feb 2026 00:33:48
Not enough to send them down unfortunately.
02 Feb 2026 14:12:53
Shame. And I mean it. Proud Leeds lad. Took the next step and didn’t work out. Freefall now. Good luck to him and hope he bounces back at some point.
14 Feb 2026 05:30:40
As I’ve said before. If we survive then he will deserve a crack next season. But let’s not forget. Next season is about 6-12 not below. So will have to hit the ground running and buy wisely and improve our away form. First up if we stay up is the important positions to improve.
13 Feb 2026 23:35:44
Spurs for me cause they think they big 6 club. Them days are gone. Nothing against Cree or Archie either. They would both stay with clubs and fight for promotion. Doubt they have relegation clauses. And most likely bounce straight back.
12 Feb 2026 10:53:38
Think your right mot. Said the same this morning. Hope you are right too xx.
12 Feb 2026 04:00:46
The more turmoil the better. going to be a nervy last 12 games for a lot of teams.
11 Feb 2026 11:52:54
I did notice gruev and Justin have a habit of gently pushing a player when marking them. Not sure what that was about.
So funny bijol not thinking it was a penalty. Even the Chelsea player was asking him why.
