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?
20 Dec 2025 00:18:17
Rumour has us in box seat for Vargas.
1.) 20 Dec 2025 14:35:41
One factor in our favour, is he's stated a desire to play alongside Okafor!
25 Nov 2025 05:35:53
Any in the know with their ear to the floor heard any rumours lately? Since Sunday?
1.) 25 Nov 2025 09:31:35
3 more games Aus.
2.) 25 Nov 2025 10:59:45
Rumours on WACCOE are that he could still go this week, but if he lasts till Friday then he's here till Liverpool.
3.) 25 Nov 2025 11:46:54
Thank you Mr Smyth. For the info and politeness. Keep it up.
4.) 25 Nov 2025 12:26:41
I don't believe The 49ers have a clue what they're doing and suspect they're leaking these rumours to take the heat off Farke and themselves, buying time and have no real appetite to sack DF as he is their plyable yes man.
I think it's more likely they are struggling to find another sap that will accept their tight fisted ways but if it is true, which waiting for affirmative action from our owners is like pulling teeth, then a large majority of Leeds fans will be relieved Farke's stubborn ways and crazy substitutions are no more, wish him well and I'm sure he will soon find a new Championship job that suits his capabilities
Time will tell if the damage already done by the owners as well will mean we will face him in the Championship next season too.
5.) 25 Nov 2025 14:10:40
The damage is done. My doomsday prediction was relegation if farke leads us out at villa. Another 3 points dropped.
6.) 25 Nov 2025 15:09:39
Mo, don't do a Baz and give multiple predictions, fairly sure you were predicting 'top half for sure' when season begun.
7.) 25 Nov 2025 16:33:00
Seconded Canada!

We are after the derby game recruitment team. Just saying.
1.) 13 Jan 2026 12:04:14
In English?
2.) 13 Jan 2026 13:26:20
They said no signings until after the derby game.
So as that has passed.
We should or could expect signings.
That’s player signings from other teams to our Canada.
Generally we have to pay a fee for such.
Anything else I can help with.
3.) 13 Jan 2026 14:05:19
Makes more sense now Aus!
11 Jan 2026 11:32:56
A stress free game. going to enjoy it. Hopefully.
1.) 11 Jan 2026 12:47:00
Or not ?.
2.) 11 Jan 2026 12:49:55
Half time and another half of typical Leeds United Cup football.
3.) 11 Jan 2026 13:23:15
Is there such a thing as a stress free game? I get stressed with every game. 62 mins 2:1 up, so far so good.
4.) 11 Jan 2026 13:55:13
Full time 3:1 - stress gone now. 3 good goals and a well deserved result.
5.) 11 Jan 2026 16:45:12
It’s not just a cup game it’s a rest game so we can be on top of the next one .
10 Jan 2026 01:50:23
Not interested in an elongated cup run although I do expect to beat derby.
Drop Perri for Darlow.
Justin first half Bogle if fit second.
Rest Rodon and play flat 4 with born and bij
Drop struik
Byram if fit rather than gabby.
Rest stach and gruev for Longstaff and tanaka if both fit.
Keep amps.
Play Okafor and gnonto and start piroe. Namecheck last 30 min.
Rest dcl and arrenson.
1.) 10 Jan 2026 08:08:25
Darlow
Justin
Bornauw
Struijk
Harrison
Tanaka
Longstaff
Gnonto
Chambers
Piroe
Nmecha
Gray
In a 4-2-3-1
Definitely highlights the need for signings.
2.) 10 Jan 2026 08:28:41
Agreed with Dave's line up.
Chuck the kids and B team on. Regardless of score, do not risk a single starting 11 player.
Maybe even dig out some U21 defenders to give Struijk a rest.
3.) 10 Jan 2026 08:34:23
Sorry I meant Nmecha/ Gray rather than playing 12 v 11!
4.) 10 Jan 2026 08:49:49
Can I pick another player then dav and mot.
5.) 10 Jan 2026 09:00:44
FA cup, always a difficult one this, do you play a strong side to keep the winning habit going or make wholesale changes. No doubt players need resting after our very gruelling Christmas schedule. I would rest DCL, Amps, Boges, Gabby BA and Stach, already known Perri will be replaced.
A great opportunity to give youngsters a pop, when else are you going to play them? Vital we retain our prem status, everything hangs on it so despite my love of a cup run I would trade that for staying up every day of the week.
6.) 10 Jan 2026 09:31:17
Yep, yep, and yep. Play non-starters, and if they win it, great; they all get to play another full 90 in the next round.
No point risking anyone vital.
7.) 10 Jan 2026 11:42:12
FA cup is a worry for next season when we've sorted the relegation scare, build a good squad and added depth. Right now it's a distraction.
Date I say Forrest are currently distracted with their cups and European games, and losing those games adds pressure to the manager.
One bonus for us is that nobody really cares that much if we drop out of the third round, as we historically do, and we have bigger fish to fry.
It's a free hit for Heir Farke and maybe a chance to try some experimental tactics.
8.) 10 Jan 2026 15:14:19
Well, Harry played and scored for the U21s today so that one is out the window!
9.) 12 Jan 2026 00:20:41
A bit like Baz there Aus…. you’re only allowed 11 players.
08 Jan 2026 04:33:11
Well well well. Lots of positives.
In fact in my opinion that was the best we have played this season.
From the offset our formation, tactics and performance were spot on brilliant. Well done Mr Farke and team ( ish ) .
So many stand out performances, good energy, good passing. We are def improving week by week and look a mid table team if not for luck.
However, as some have referred to below. It is obvious to most and 90 min player ratings where our weak link is. Good opportunity to drop him for Darlow sat and keep him in.
Struik to for bourn and keep him in.
Still finding it had keeping a lead and not for the first time this season. That needs sorting.
Strange subs and about 10 min too late.
Very disappointed all in all because that performance deserved at least a point.
Well done lads. Ba lad. Good on yer. You’ve showed some fight over last season and a bit and deserve the form you are in.
To derby. Chance as I say to rest and drop a few. Not bothered about this. Let’s focus 100% on league.
1.) 08 Jan 2026 09:00:39
Thought you would enjoy that Aus ? As for blame, well, stuff happens but it wasn't just Perri, the defence were all over the place at times, for their winner Barnes had 4 players around him and still got a great shot off. Breathless stuff and a match that will go down in prem history for entertainment, but I think DFs demeanour at the end said a lot, we kinda got caught up in the moment and lost our composure a bit, playing basketball rather than slowing it down.
Just hope the lads aren't too despondant after being on the wrong side of a thriller. Much to like, lessons to learn and on to an FA cup run hopefully!
07 Jan 2026 05:44:26
Think all in all we were all expecting 5 points from last three games so unless we get something from Newcastle. I think we have underperformed. I mean we have proven hard to beat without causing too much trauma the other end.
Perri cost us 3 v mancs. Let’s hope he can pull of some worldies and help us v Newcastle. Given 1 point per game will prob be enough but need to win a few more and soon.
1.) 07 Jan 2026 06:41:08
Without causing too much trauma? Does that mean scoring, or almost scoring, 'cause we carry plenty of threat. DCL hit the post, our set pieces can now cause chaos, and we are far advanced from where we were.
Perri has made crucial saves in the last 2 games at least.
I say he's "even" for conceding that one vs Man U, as it was a 50:50 call for him, and he, as well as probably 50% of other GKs made the wrong one on the day. It happens!
2.) 07 Jan 2026 06:45:41
I'm happy enough with a point per game personally. I certainly wasn't expecting much from Anfirld or St James Park and the Man U game was always going to be tough regardless of their form.
3.) 07 Jan 2026 08:09:54
I’m with Bright on that one, a bit harsh on Perri, looks like you might have something against goalkeepers Aus?
It’s very easy for me to say the reason we didn’t beat Man Utd was because the defenders didn’t do their job properly either or DCL shouldn’t be hitting the post with his header.
If anything at the moment we are a little further ahead than what would normally be expected by this Championship quality team.
Our problem will be to keep players like DCL, Rodon, Amps and Perri fit for the rest of this season, otherwise if they aren’t then we have a very good chance of being relegated back to the Championship.
It really is pointless to imagine that we are a much better team than we are, finishing 17th this season will in my opinion be a major achievement by Farke and his players.
4.) 07 Jan 2026 09:13:22
I don't know how anyone can look at those fixtures, losing none, drawing away at anfield and feeling like we underperformed.
Just two months ago, we were wondering where the points, and goals, we're going to come from. Unbeaten is unbeaten and has added to our cushion and GD.
If we draw the remaining 18 games we end up on 40 points, a total all would have happily accepted at the start of the season.
It's far from over and overall we have underperformed and dropped points we shouldn't have, but that just shows how much better we've adapted.
The players, recruitment and Farke have done a remarkable turn around are the best looking team in decades, excluding of course the Bielsa years that were lightning in a bottle.
5.) 07 Jan 2026 09:20:03
Well Aus, 5 points from those 3 would have been an achievement indeed, I doubt many were expecting it! Indeed looking at our programme prior to the Citeh game December and new year we're daunting to say the least so to be unbeaten in 7 is an achievement in itself! The progress is startling not just in the results but the manner in which we have harvested them.
Another tough match tonight and a point would be a good one!
6.) 07 Jan 2026 17:36:49
You expected 5 points from THOSE games, otherwise we're underachieving!
Glad you're not my boss.
13 Jan 2026 13:30:20
I’m
Excited Alf. Go get him mate in your Skoda.
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.
12 Jan 2026 13:55:39
Prob cheaper than doe.

Weird eh. Why would they want a player not as good as sol. Oh well. Sell sell sell.
13 Jan 2026 13:22:03
100% Dave. Brilliant in champ. Useless to us now.
