Seems like rumors strong on BJ (bijol) from udinese, has anyone seen him play?
Spurs new boss may scupper Soloman deal now, be a miss.
I still think Mavididi be decent, pace and runs at defenses.
Pity about having to wait till July but seems to be the case, just hate been late.
Imo i think i'd try for mcatee from city, think he'd be better than beundia/ hamer? but Leverkusen looking at him now and may be wrapped up next week.
Guess 69ers have it all in hand and be influx in early July.

Good in the air in both boxes. awareness and reading of game excellent.
19 May 2025 10:58:21
What thoughts on Rico Henry from ?, only 27y/ o and now only sub appearances for them.
1.) 19 May 2025 11:41:30
Not for me he has a big injury record other than that I haven't seen him play.
2.) 19 May 2025 13:44:02
So you’ve seen him played injured bri but not fit?
3.) 19 May 2025 14:59:04
Lol yeah that's right Aus should check before I post.
28 Jun 2021 00:52:21
The Leeds board don't like to do things fast. No resolution to the long running alioski saga, let him just go already, we need better LB option than him.
They even taking forever signing 2 big assets that have been at the club for 3 years in Harrison/ beilsa, get it done.
Hoping lots of behind scenes work going on and then the 3-4 players we need signed up fast.
1.) 28 Jun 2021 07:02:20
The window isn’t even open yet mate and Gianni is only just back from euros, patience!
2.) 28 Jun 2021 09:49:14
They quoted all transfers would like to be done before end of June so they get a full pre season.
3.) 28 Jun 2021 11:23:11
Lufc 4, window been open since 9th June, 3 weeks already but should be patient.
Thought they’d have sorted beilsa contract and Harrison buy as no brainers.
4.) 28 Jun 2021 11:33:55
Harrison done for 1st of July, also, a YEP reporter has stated that no signings will be made by the start of pre season.
07 Nov 2020 22:54:39
Conceding a few recently and think break is needed, hope can get a few back into squad.
Was Pablo dropped from squad because of his attitude last game when taken off?
Not many positives today, big one is we are in the premiership and that is amazing, 2nd is bamford finishing improving and the offside tough to take, pointing where he wanted pass.
Negatives, keeper getting beat at near post, costa and Dallas poor.
Also feel struik not a DMF, he was pedestrian today, sorry berm but you are wrong, we much better with Phillips and I think u know it. Is he the best defensive MF, no, but better with than without or until we find a better one, should have kept veira, big mistake. Let's hope Phillips back after break and be good to see Lorente play alongside of Koch.
1.) 09 Nov 2020 22:30:23
Meltdown How can the sale of RV be a mistake when we 1. Achieved promotion without him. 2. His absence helped see the rise of KP. 3. He's reportedly available for transfer again at only a 30% increase in price than the amount we sold him for. I like RV as a player but remarking his sale was a mistake just factually incorrect.
2.) 14 Nov 2020 06:51:24
we needed the money at the time and had we not sold we would have had to sell other players and who knows what impact that would have had on the team that went up. Same with Kemar by all accounts.
15 Feb 2020 07:41:04
Every game now going to feel tense, can't afford slip ups now.
Tough one for brom against Forrest, do we want brom to win and keep teams below at bay or can we still catch them for first.
My feeling is Forrest to beat them but we have to win next 2 at home.
Bristol invested well in window, unlike us!
They have some decent players, eliason, diedhiou, wells and have won 5 out of last 6
Going to plump for 2-0, bamford and klich.

Hopefully now cup and chaos of league games over, maybe some transfers, in and out.
OUT (if can) -
Piroe, Harrison, Mez byram
Even let gnoto and struijk go, may get backlash for this but I don’t think either good enough, gnoto inconsistent and if can get 20+ for him I’d take it and reinvest.
Again I think struijk is not a top level performer, slow and he wins lots of heads for attacking corners but rarely gets head on corners/ balls into box against us, I think Bournaw better
Still need a quality GK, but think it can wait till summer or I’d be tempted to try loan Trafford
INS-
Think we need 2-3 players depending on if release anyone, I think CMF/ 10, a striker and winger
My choices be Macatee on loan, or I’d even try tempt gunners to loan us Ethan Nwaneri, he no longer getting on bench, young very talented and would be great alongside DCL
Sterling also wants out of Chelsea, rumor of abroad or west ham, could we do a deal, think he still very good.
1.) 10 Jan 2026 07:33:16
100% Aussie sense mate. Agree agree agree.
2.) 10 Jan 2026 08:46:38
Good post Mel, I’d disagree on Sterling and Macatee.
Neither has the physicality we go for, Nwaneri is a decent shout.
I’d opt for
Gk- Trafford on loan with Option
LWB- Souffian El Karouani
CB - Dhokie
ST- is it worth a cheeky move for DUSAN VLAHOVIC out of contract in June?
3.) 10 Jan 2026 14:04:43
I could agree or at least accept most of these suggestions, but would not touch Sterling with a bargepole, now well past his best, and always was a lazy player. He's not getting games at Chelsea for a reason.
05 Jan 2026 23:31:55
Still no sign of any out going’s or incomings, can we offload Harrison and Mez?
Seen west ham have already brought in 2 forwards, not messing around, palace got brenan Johnson
I know spam have been bad but they already have a good squad and manager, it worries me they might start climbing
We need to strengthen, I’m not convinced by struijk, he is slow, not great at headers and gets caught out a lot.
I think we are ok at the back, Perri still a worry, good shot stopper but not fantastic.
I’d leave back line as is but need Rodon back asap.
We need some creativity and another goal scorer, go get Macatee and Parrot
Tough game against Toon, not involved great form but they’re dangerous at home, fast on attack.
Wissa likes that run in behind, struijk needs to be aware
Come 49ers, get some business done, we in a great position and worth investment in squad.
1.) 06 Jan 2026 06:59:54
Apparently they're keeping everything under wraps and a tight lid on rumours. Farke said no movements, if any, will happen before Derby as the schedule of games is too tight. After that there's a week or so gap so expect any deals to be done then, if any.
I can see a Harrison for Largie direct swap with Largie being loaned out to a champo club.
Piroe going to the champo on a loan to buy.
Mes will go nowhere until the summer.
Personally I would cash out on Gnonto if we got a good offer.
After the summer window and how it turned out great in hindsight, we need a little faith and patience with the 49ers, they know what they're doing and have grabbed some incredible bargains again.
2.) 06 Jan 2026 07:16:36
How is it West Ham have signed a new striker, we have been looking for years for one and still we haven’t bought anyone.
3.) 06 Jan 2026 07:58:04
No to Parrot at the prices quoted.
4.) 06 Jan 2026 08:46:50
I think it’s probably the out goings that are slowing the incoming ones.
I’d personally let go of
Gnonto
Meslier
Harrison
Piroe
Byram
There were summer links with Gnonto to Saudi, how about Ruben Neves +£5m for Gnonto? ( I know it won’t happen but that would be a nice 1.
Jose Gaya swap for Harrison ( gives us LB cover)
Pay Mes and Byram up and release them.
Piroe loan with Obligation
Loan in Santiago Gimenez from AC Milan with option of summer purchase.
5.) 06 Jan 2026 11:27:49
Well guys it's still very early in the window. So Wet Spam have bought in Castellanos and Felipe, 2 strikers and looking at Traore. Are these players they were tracking and have accelerated or are they just available and affordable so chuck the kitchen sink at it? Why are they available? There ain't no quick fix, it takes time to integrate to a new club and league and time is one thing you don't have at this stage of a season.
Wet Spam are poor throughout, gawd knows where they would be without Bowen. We seem to have this same conversation every January, it's all good at the moment and this squad has got us where we are, yes I would say we need cover but I would rather we took time to get the right players as that cover and trust our current squad to finish what they have achieved so far. Just me of course ?.
6.) 06 Jan 2026 22:53:32
Good points vid.
26 Dec 2025 00:13:41
Xmas over in Oz and Boxing Day arrived, time for sales.
So thinking of sales, what are opinions on how many lufc will bring in, who would you go for, what positions and think any outgoings?
Rumors about CB, hope false rumors and not needed in my opinion
, if anything I’d potentially let Bournaw go if need to release any players to help influx.
For me it’s at least 2, would like 3 but can’t see it, think they now have a real chance of survival since man city game and change of formation, if no incomings in Jan, think we will drop and more likely relegation, how much do they want it?
My picks are for a CMF/ 10, Striker and winger.
I’d try get James macatee from Forest, not involved in his team and he could be that creative force that we need.
Not sure re striker, may have to look abroad, is Troy parrot available.?, I also think there are a few in prem that not regular starters and could improve us up top, BETO and AWONYI
Winger, do we try bring Solomon back, rumors of Sterling
Just hope board are up for challenge and get players in early, over to them, happy new year.
1.) 26 Dec 2025 08:38:46
Macatee is a good player but I just don’t see him as a leedsie type player.
We definitely need to move on the likes of Harrison, meslier, Piroe and possibly Gnonto ( if he’s not starting games) the last 2 for good money.
For me we need
1x CB (loan) and loan out Bournaw
1x WB
1x 10
1 x striker
Possibly bring Largie back off his loan for cover.
2.) 26 Dec 2025 21:10:27
IMHO, there will be no signings - just to expensive and the time it takes to integrate into the team, I just don't see them spending the money. Out goings definitely JH should be cut loose as well as Mez - but they will most likely keep them till we know if we survive.
Need to put wins in the bank, that's all. This year I think it will be minimum of 35 to 40 points to stay up so that's another 15 to 20 points (5 to 7 wins) I think that's do able .
3.) 27 Dec 2025 04:13:28
We absolutely must sign back up for dcl. Ready or not.
Possibly winger too and centre back if born off. 3 have to come in and get rid of as many as possible. Mez. Harrison. Piroe. Etc.
24 Dec 2025 23:56:20
Merry Christmas everyone, have a great one and all the best for 2026.
1.) 25 Dec 2025 10:42:54
merry Christmas to all posters and Eds, heres to staying in this league next year. MOT.
15 Dec 2025 06:58:13
Think we have to be happy with a point, they are good tough side at their ground, especially after going one down.
A big improvement has happened recently, think most of us feared we’d be in bottom 3 after this run of games, nice to have slight space.
We need to invest in JANUARY, ideally I’d like to see another striker and think that we still need creativity in MF.
Probably stick to 3 DMF against top sides but at home and against bottom half of teams, drop one of them and have someone who can make things tick, again down to 49ers.
1.) 15 Dec 2025 07:22:00
In and out of phone reception as on way to Esperance.
Overall happy with that. Think slightly negative first half but they were always going to come at us. Better team in second half and slightly unlikely to get the 3 points.
Think dcl should have got a penalty.
Whole team put a shift in but overly impressed with stach, amps and gabby today.
2.) 15 Dec 2025 08:29:54
Totally agree Aus about the penalty claim.
The ref couldn't wait to point to the spot when Thiago threw himself to the ground, but it was exactly the same for DCL, and he had no interest.
I don't think either should be given, otherwise we end up with 10 pens a game, but if you give one, then you have to give the other.
Apart from that, I am really happy with the turnaround in performances, and our ability to attack and score, while looking solid (ish) at the back and in the middle of the park.
Couple of quality signings in January would be nice and very much needed.
I think we need a prolific striker (who, I have no idea, an attacking midfielder, wide man and maybe another CB for backup/ rotation. I know it's a big wish list, but it's Christmas!
3.) 15 Dec 2025 08:51:34
It was 100% a penalty on DCL, even moreso that they were awarded one for diving and it was only the fact that he was offside that it was disallowed.
I can't blame Farke for setting up how he did. They've only lost to man city at home and get their goals on the break. Their goal was a deflection off of Bijol so another case of points dropped because of a bad luck deflection.
We neutralised one of the most effective home teams In the league.
4.) 15 Dec 2025 12:25:31
delighted with the point - was always going to be tough to go to Brentford. I think we could actually have taken all 3 but beggars and choosers etc.
5.) 16 Dec 2025 00:43:31
The pen the ref tried to give was an obvious dive as Ouattara somehow managed to claim he'd been held back but still fall forwards. DCL was clearly held back by Collins to prevent him getting to the ball, so an obvious pen.
The key question is not why the ref missed it, which I can accept, but why VAR took no action, which I cannot accept.

Lufc 4, window been open since 9th June, 3 weeks already but should be patient.
Thought they’d have sorted beilsa contract and Harrison buy as no brainers.
Melbourne white's banter replies
01 Oct 2025 23:18:38
because i think he’s better than struijk who’s not the greatest defender, tall but misses a lot of headed clearances.
01 Sep 2025 09:15:13
Incorrect berm, lack of quality brought in is down to poor recruitment, need to get in early and have a person in who can sell the club and their ambition.
13 Aug 2025 23:38:36
I’d then go for BETO, I think he has potential.
31 Jul 2025 16:22:12
yes for me.
09 Jul 2025 13:11:28
yes i’d go for him, missing piece.
