Bilal El K. He's my tip to sign before the window closes.
Plus Bakwa or Manor. Two of those 3 would change my own perspective on this window.
1.) 30 Aug 2025 12:01:28
I think we will splash the cash for BEK. I have a feeling it will either be Solomon or Hamer….
2.) 30 Aug 2025 13:14:35
I’d be very happy with either BEK or bakwa and 1 of the other 2.
3.) 30 Aug 2025 15:10:44
A No 10 - great, another winger - OK, but what we really really need is someone who can put the ball in the onion bag consistently, and has no dodgy injury history. Any sign of that? No, thought not!
4.) 30 Aug 2025 19:44:16
Uche reportedly still in the mix too.
5.) 31 Aug 2025 09:18:15
I know absolutely nothing about Backwa, anyone enlighten me a little?
6.) 31 Aug 2025 14:40:36
BEL on route to stutgart.
18 Aug 2025 11:14:24
El K might NOT be off t Palace as suggested previously, as they've approached Club Brugges over direct replacement for Eze.
1.) 19 Aug 2025 00:16:27
I was saying this on way to game but to be fair he had a very good game tonight mot will see in 2 weeks where we at.
22 Jul 2025 11:46:42
Johnny Howson returns to the club as "player coach" of the U21s. Nice move.
1.) 22 Jul 2025 12:43:41
Oh wow! Great move, top lad shared a drink with him in the players lounge after he scored a late equaliser away at Brighton.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 14:19:17
That’s good news.
22 Jul 2025 07:02:28
Fulham now open to discussions on Muniz, as they have their own replacement lined up, which was a prerequisite for them coming to the table.
1.) 22 Jul 2025 09:03:33
£50 million though? Is he really worth that?
Aren't there better options on the continent?
2.) 22 Jul 2025 10:34:35
Wouldn’t pay more than 30-35.
3.) 22 Jul 2025 10:49:19
He’s not worth half that I’d be happy with him for 24 plus add ons.
4.) 22 Jul 2025 12:10:04
we wouldn't pay the 50 - closer to 30 with add ons I imagine.
5.) 22 Jul 2025 12:18:40
It'll end up being around £35m.
6.) 22 Jul 2025 13:50:43
Concur that the Club shouldn’t consider going anywhere near £50m - I’d rather we brought in the player they’re reportedly considering to replace him than do that. If we were to pay more than £30m plus add-ons we’d actually be strengthening a rival - allowing them to get a player just as good if not better and still have significant cash to strengthen their squad with one or two other decent players.
7.) 22 Jul 2025 14:29:51
50m was only ever paper talk while Fulham stalled.
8.) 23 Jul 2025 14:25:34
And I also concur about not paying 50 million for him but if you think we could get paxiao, what a player for 30 which I think Leeds should get done now before someone else comes in and be still left with 20 million to go towards a striker before we start to sell players it’s a no brainer to me, we ve done enormously well with the deals we ve got done for 60 million. And changed the look and shape of team with what we have but if we can just get them little bit more quality winger, centre forward, goalie, and perhaps another cheap or loan bit of quality we ll be staying up with out doubt.
16 Jul 2025 18:05:34
Christanus Uche from getafe, with a 21m release clause. Reportedly not training with their first team due to our interest. 6ft3 attacking mf.

Solid first half, let's hope we can maintain the intensity and land the result! MOT.
1.) 23 Nov 2025 17:26:09
Well, they came out and gave exactly the opposite! ???.
22 Nov 2025 09:13:35
Was leaving it to someone else to mention the report that shows the league as it could / should be if Xg was anything like accurate! But hey ho.
The gambling based stat / americanisation of the game thro naff stats would have us up in 7th, and the superb transfer kings of Sunderland down in 18th.
Now I realise that most will home in on the 9 issue, but for me, it's that PLUS the other players in offensive positions getting their shooting boots on / 50pence heads rounded! As has been the case for what seems like donkey's, we continue to miss clear cut opportunities across the board at an alarming level imo, and that means they all need to step it up!
1.) 22 Nov 2025 10:54:37
Fair post Bright in particular the 50pence analogy, cannot remember a premier team missing more close range headers than us.
But I’m not really one to comment, in my prime I was in the middle of a trial at Southampton, and at the time I fancied myself as the next Chris waddle and the coaching staff were running set piece drills to improve our heading prowess.
At the end of the drill I was called across to the coaching team, which I took to be a positive until they showed me the yes, hand held, camcorder footage!
They summarised it as follows…. I possessed good movement, was adept at finding space in the box, but given my starting height of six foot four inches they had no video evidence of me getting higher than six foot five inches!
Don’t call us, we’ll call you.
Never mentioned that bit to my dad on the long drive home though.
2.) 22 Nov 2025 12:31:58
I’d have you over dcl any day class. You were wronged.
I’m not going to comment on the xg bright through fear of repetition.
3.) 22 Nov 2025 15:09:42
Great tale, Class! ?.
4.) 22 Nov 2025 15:42:38
True sadly bright ?.
5.) 22 Nov 2025 17:01:33
To clarify, that wasn't meant in a bad way; must still be a bit of a gut wrencher to be fair! ?.
6.) 22 Nov 2025 18:43:54
Oh think it hilarious now Brighty, there were 16 of us on that trial they took only one lad who went onto play a few games for Charlton and he was a million miles better than the rest of us, put together, I soon learnt my future lay with predicting our results, and that’s gone well, not!
7.) 23 Nov 2025 09:17:02
XG is a useless metric, can't understand why some people pay such attention to it. Today Bournemouth XG 4.08, West Ham 0.65, result 2:2. Liverpool 1.93, Forest 1.58, result 0:3.
8.) 23 Nov 2025 12:25:06
Pretty sure I'd agreed with that sentiment JR.
19 Nov 2025 11:51:34
3 former managers confirmed at the next WC!
1.) 19 Nov 2025 16:46:07
Which country is Farke managing?
2.) 20 Nov 2025 11:30:12
After the WC is over, there will likely be a few more 'former managers' after their national teams have gone down the WC!
3.) 20 Nov 2025 12:49:23
True jr.
10 Nov 2025 17:31:55
I wonder if Eddie Howe might be available soon?
1.) 10 Nov 2025 18:49:06
Lol, I doubt it Bright and I very much doubt he would want to come to us anyway. The only positive I can find at the moment is that surely after last weekend DF and the players will be forced to have a good look in the mirror and at least attempt to turn the tide.
But if BA starts against Villa we will know DF is hankering for a holiday.
2.) 10 Nov 2025 19:55:41
DF has gone back Germany. He will be back on Friday according to the internets.
I've resigned to the fact that he will be here until summer and we will be relegated.
3.) 10 Nov 2025 20:44:48
If he’s here until the summer that surely would mean we have stayed up?
4.) 11 Nov 2025 00:10:34
Sorry, Corkey, it means we will be going down with him.
Some fans want to be relegated with Farke because they see him as the best chance to return. Even though his success rate with Leeds is 50%.
5.) 11 Nov 2025 07:25:21
I very much doubt any fan wants us to be relegated, irrespective of who's in the box seat!
What is it with all the crazy nonsense, outlandish, pie in the sky, unreal posts in here right now!
If someone has said "if we were to be relegated, then why not with Farke so he can bring us back up", ok, crazy, but some logic.
On the other hand "I want us to be relegated, and at least farke will bring us up". that's garbage talk, and not a single Leeds fan is saying it.
6.) 11 Nov 2025 15:45:18
There no way that the club will hold onto Farke if we are falling away in the relegation zone.
The club will take on another coach so the thought of Farke continuing with us in the Championship if relegated is just not going to happen in any shape or form.
Bar a bizarre complete turnaround of our form and tactics, Farke I imagine will be sacked in the coming weeks. Our concern will be will be what half head would be mad enough to take the job on.
Oh there will be candidates but none of them will stir the slightest bit of hope in any Leeds fan.
As I’ve mentioned before, only something completely out of the blue might give a little twist of fate and surprise all of us.
But i wouldn’t be holding your breath.
{Ed025's Note - Leeds are still a bid draw imo OP and i think will attract managers of a high calibre mate, with FFP it wont be easy to just buy yourself out of trouble so it will be a difficult job for whoever takes over but yes it can be done, you proved against the likes of Everton that with fight, endeavour and organisation that results can be achieved but it will take everyone pulling in the same direction to stave off relegation, it may also take a change of manager who has been there and done it and as much as i feel sorry for DF the owners will pull the plug if things dont improve, you have a really tough run of games coming up though and cannot afford to drop like a stone so you have a massive few weeks coming up that will determine your season i feel..come on Leeds..
7.) 11 Nov 2025 17:44:12
Ed, that depends on what you mean by high calibre? It’s a very muddy ground to try and work out what kind of manager and tactics to use to survive the first season up for a promoted team to the Premiership.
You’ve got certain managers who seem to have what it takes or a knack for that type of job and they are not available currently.
If there are any higher profile managers out there available, they might not want the likely prospect to collect a relegation tag on his CV and perhaps has never managed a team in a relegation battle in the Premiership.
Definitely there will be candidates but I feel it will be one whose got nothing to lose or one that is willing to risk his flagging reputation to become a hero.
I still believe we have a chance besides all the weight stacked against us that there is a possibility to stay up, but everything has to align perfectly and seamlessly and as you put it all the players singing from the same hymn sheet and has the same emotion and work rate as our CB Joe Rodon does.
Nothing is impossible, but they have to dig a lot deeper than they think they are doing right now.
Football does from time to time deliver surprise stories, it could be us but then again it might not be us.
As far as I’m concerned there are no titles or relegations sorted after 10 games into the season.
{Ed025's Note - i personally thought Sean Dyche would have been the sort of appointment that would work OP (but obviously that ship has sailed), but someone of that ilk who can get the best out of players without spending a fortune, it wont be very pretty of course but sometimes needs must mate..
25 Oct 2025 16:59:26
Wow! Well you have to say that Sunderland haven't got much more to do to stay out of the dogfight! Still feel they will be dragged back from those lofty heights, but a lot said that of us under Marcelo in our first season up.
1.) 25 Oct 2025 18:08:12
Respect to them, they've started well, but you wonder what way Afr cup of nations will hit them .
But right here right now, their flying for sure Brighty pal.
2.) 26 Oct 2025 06:57:34
Yes you have to hand it to them, it looks like they are seizing their opportunities in games and I’m sure a good portion of luck is helping them also.
Afcon will leave their team a little sparse but if they can continue with this roll of form, especially the home games, then come January they might of already secured their safety in the Premiership?
Xhaka has been very influential for them.
I’m really looking forward to their visit to Elland Rd when we lock horns with them.
3.) 26 Oct 2025 17:06:45
Xhaka has been, dare I say, a Strachan-esque signing for them. Thought it was a duff move at the time, but totally wrong, again!
4.) 27 Oct 2025 06:57:16
You may remember Hull on 20 pts after nine games in the 2008/ 09 season, they finished 17th. Still, it is a impressive start all the same.
26 Nov 2025 07:35:10
Just peeled my eyes and keeping them that way.
Obviously, this wouldn't happen without Brendan Rogers or / and Stevie Well 'ard already lined up and ready to start?
25 Nov 2025 16:33:00
Seconded Canada!
20 Nov 2025 06:37:06
I was thinking about him as an option recently, and I'm sure Chelsea would pay most of his exorbitant wages. Agree he would be a great addition on the right!
13 Nov 2025 11:16:03
Only CC of interest for me. No time for Rogers, as he's all about himself, and if Carrick couldn't deliver for Boro, he won't make our squad tick anymore than Farke.
21 Oct 2025 17:23:37
Fair enough Mo. All opinion that, and I can't fault the logic of it. Think Bogle will pocket "drop the shoulder, cut in" Cree tho!
29 Nov 2025 07:35:33
I doubt all fans 'will turn on him tho.
There are still many who believe that until a credible and obvious upgrade is identified, and an agreement is reached, that there's absolutely no point in the cost or upheaval of ditching him.
To my mind, there's still a lot of logic in that perspective.
Additionally, and this is a guess, there must be an expectation that we are going to get truly gubbed today, especially after Citeh's midweek performance? That in mind, I suppose this gives Farke a 'bye into the next match?
28 Nov 2025 16:36:48
Ditto Canada! I keep meaning to try making my own!
28 Nov 2025 16:35:30
Have we misjudged Dyche? Does he select his tactics based solely on the strength of his playing squad, and now he has better at his disposal, is more adventurous?
TBC, I ain't got a clue, as so far, I've refused to watch his teams!
28 Nov 2025 16:32:26
Dunno whether to laugh or cry! ????.
