Apparently we're interested in Ben Doak from Liverpool for £20m. Bought from Celtic's academy. My mate who's a Celtic fan says he's tiny but quick. Name sounds made up to me, sounds like the next big project for them fellas that cut down the Sycamore Gap.
1.) 07 Aug 2025 20:20:15
A good young one but are we going to pay £20m for a squad player? I'd rather have Solomon for a similar or maybe lower price.
2.) 07 Aug 2025 20:30:26
On loan at Boro last season until injured.
Was pretty tricky and looked like he could be decent.
{Ed025's Note - according to their supporters Canada he was by far their best player mate..
3.) 07 Aug 2025 21:15:44
If I recall he looked very good against us, but that was likely against Junior so i'd look half reasonable!

Don't get me wrong, I know we're too conservative when it comes to the transfer market, but £50m is too much for someone who might be rubbish. Spending that much on a player that doesn't work could ruin us for next season, make us sell at a loss or sell players we would rather keep, to balance rhe books.
And for what? The aim this season is to stay up and our squad is already up to that. Better to shop in the summer, and learn from last summer I say. Palace are spiralling and if they pay £50m, panic buying.
1.) 29 Jan 2026 20:35:31
Absolutely DG!
Nearly fell off my chair when I saw that price tag.
Makes you wonder what Palace will ask, and get for Mateta who is on a different level to Strand Larsen.
What price for DCL given the season he's having? Not that we'd now sell of course:)
2.) 29 Jan 2026 21:57:24
Absolutely lads, this whole saga bemuses me really. I was staggered we offered what we did for a player who let's face it ain't ripping up teams. We don't desperately need a statement signing just cover then spend that dosh in the summer.
It now seems the deal is stalling but I hope we just walk away because £40 million plus and his wage demands ain't worth it.
3.) 30 Jan 2026 07:44:16
I have a gut feel that this one is going through. Either that or its wind. And then the wind is telling me that he will prove his worth and be a success.
4.) 30 Jan 2026 08:58:43
Not with you on either count bright. Don’t think it will happen and if it does not sure he will prove his worth. Happy to be completely wrong. Well, not happy. But you get what I mean.
20 Sep 2025 18:54:47
Still absolutely buzzing! Celebrate the good days! Think I've said this before but every week we end outside the bottom 3 is a great week! WACCOE MOT!
1.) 20 Sep 2025 20:03:12
Well said Goodie!
20 Sep 2025 09:03:08
Well I'm calling it. If we can't score from open play today we're down, because it will we're not capable of scoring enough. I think Wolves is the low watermark. Don't sack Farke though, not his fault we didn't sign who we needed to sign. I've heard talk of Nuno but don't forget, his board backed him at Forest (once upon a time) . Anyway I'm actually quite confident we will score, and win. It's going to be long hard season and I reckon 15th might be the best we can hope for but we'd take that wouldn't we?
1.) 20 Sep 2025 09:11:34
Of course I’d love us to score today but I will take a nil nil draw away and a point.
The goals will come.
2.) 20 Sep 2025 09:33:53
Why would you take 0-0 v bottom team? What would you take v Bournemouth and spurs? Not conceding 5 be a good result for you opti.
We need to score and win tonight.
And I think we will by the way.
But
If we don’t. Be pre warned. Aus not be happy Chappy.
3.) 20 Sep 2025 10:06:19
Exactly Aus. Why would you take a draw when it's ours to win?
If Farke sets up defensively he should be sacked.
4.) 20 Sep 2025 10:15:07
Absolutely, I hate the phrase "must win game", especially so early in the season, but this just might be one.
5.) 20 Sep 2025 11:06:06
Doesn’t matter what level of football you’re in, unless you’re in the top 3 or 4 sides in your respective league, you consider certain games 6 pointers, and this is one of ours today against wolves. Last week against Fulham away, I’m sure we would all have taken a point there, because not only will Fulham take points from our nearest teams that’s going to be in and around us at the end of the season, it would have been 3 clean sheets out of our first 4 games back in the premiership, and we would have bitten anyone’s hand off had we been offered that before the season started.
6.) 20 Sep 2025 11:25:36
Take a nil nil against a pointless bottom of the table team? There’s the ambition of some Leeds fans.
7.) 20 Sep 2025 11:56:30
It’s a point away and what makes our team so entitled?
8.) 20 Sep 2025 12:44:17
This is a competitive sport. If a team doesn't have the winnings, eye-of-the-tiger mindset, then that team will fail.
This isn't entitlement, it's a win that we can achieve if we believe and have the killer instinct.
Settling for points is loser mentality.
9.) 20 Sep 2025 12:48:10
Looks like some still live in the Don Revie era.
Where I expect to win our games is at Elland rd where we can try to take all three points against bottom half teams.
Ambitious yes but a dreamer no! not in this league.
10.) 20 Sep 2025 12:58:48
If we can't take all 3 now today at a team who have 0 points then what does that say about us really?
It's got to be a home win today, regardless of us just coming up, wr have to win this.
11.) 20 Sep 2025 14:17:44
OP I was lucky enough to be supporting Leeds United in the Don Revie era, but where we are now, once the season starts you have to pick games out that you have to look at getting maximum points from. I said previously a point away at Fulham would have been good, but Daniel is going with the same team, and surely to same formation against bottom wolves. Sometimes the best form of defence is attack. Personally I would like to see ampadu firing one into the top corner Billy Bremner style and showing the inspiration as a captain should, but I’m sure he will be instructed to be deeper than Struijk and Rodon.
01 Sep 2025 20:39:34
Absolute joke. Farke says at the weekend we need more quality in the final third. So obviously the board had given him assurances. Now they've made him look like a mug. Oh well, we don't support the board, we follow the badge. Let's get behind the lads now, they're going to need it.
1.) 01 Sep 2025 21:10:06
I bet he walks.
01 Sep 2025 18:02:14
Given that an email signature is capable of creating a binding contract (trust me I'm a lawyer) does a player actually have to be in Leeds to sign? It always seems to be the case that players are at the club (any club) signing in wet ink but is that just for the PR photos?
1.) 01 Sep 2025 18:24:22
Id assume it's more that players usually look at the facilities and have medicals in place etc.
Id expect an electronic signature is acceptable.

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.
31 Aug 2025 17:58:08
Having seen what I've seen of DCL (and I was as underwhelmed as anyone when we signed him) I think if he can play enough (big if I know) , we have 9 covered and if we could get a proper 10 we could create enough to be ok. Not sure Hamer is the answer. Buendia maybe.
31 Aug 2025 11:09:00
Someone is flying from Manchester to Leeds? Quicker on the train surely?
30 Aug 2025 14:32:23
Was thinking that about Solomon who's on the bench today, but I think they only leave them out if a deal is basically done. No suggestion that either are at that stage.
27 Aug 2025 18:37:51
If we get a point on Saturday all will be forgiven and we'll believe we're staying up, and although they'll boss the game I imagine, with no Isak, Gordon or Joelinton they might struggle to score. Everyone keeps talking about Farke not changing tactics depending on the opposition as though that's a problem but no successful manager does that. They just get the best players. Think about Pep (at Barcelona and City) , Ferguson (pains me to say it) , Wenger, Paisley, the Don! To me, chopping and changing all the time smacks of panic and it always fails. The style of play is dictated by the squad. The squad we have might be good enough, it might not, and if not then Farke has to take the fall, but pissing about isn't the answer.
20 Sep 2025 18:18:07
Love this stat! ?.

30 Aug 2025 20:51:36
Sadly not. It was 9/ 2 but I bottled it.
14 Aug 2025 20:13:12
I don't think Farke will be the first sacking. Love or loathe out board they are not reactionary. There will be a club or twoexpected to do ok that underperform early on and one of those managers will be the scapegoat. Who's got the Brentford job? Tempted to put a quid on him.
13 Aug 2025 21:30:28
Yes you are the only one! ? seriously though it depends whether they see him as the answer to our number 9 problem, which he can't be with his fitness or a useful option which he could be. Personally I think even when he's fit he's overrated. Had more bad seasons than good. But I'll sing his name on Monday and be delighted to be proved wrong.
