Blimey Charlie, Kamara has finally signed a 4 year deal. It’s been a busy day.
Maybe another addition tomorrow, hopefully a LB, but that seems unlikely, but let’s see.
I think as a whole, this has been the most productive transfer window I can remember for some time.
If we can keep Sini, Willy and Jimmy and maybe add another forward, I think we’ve got a right squad! Feeling far happier than a few weeks back.
1.) 31 Aug 2023 22:53:29
Oh no. You said productive. And sound positive. Damn you!
2.) 01 Sep 2023 10:30:10
Dont get over giddy fellas.
12 Jul 2023 09:54:58
Looks like Rodrigo off to Qatar, deal done and medical awaits according to Fabrizio Ramano. Good luck fella, fill your bank account and enjoy the sun, shame you couldn’t help us get back to the EPL.
1.) 12 Jul 2023 10:26:26
Indeed MG.
2.) 12 Jul 2023 10:45:14
Agree mid. Like to keep him. But good luck to him. That time of his career self before side.
3.) 12 Jul 2023 11:23:08
Beat me to it. Again.
4.) 12 Jul 2023 12:09:11
Can't understand any team coming for our players after last 2 seasons I hope these younguns shine this season them players on loan can gone run a duck.
5.) 14 Jul 2023 08:22:33
Shame he’s leaving. One of the few last year that looked like he cared.
At his age I understand it. Good luck to him.
09 Jan 2023 08:08:14
Reports this morning are that Leeds are prepared to let Joffy go out on loan for the rest of the season.
I know he hasn’t had much of an impact this season and will be great for him to get games and goals, but hopefully shows that there is another striker due in Jan? Here’s hoping so!
1.) 09 Jan 2023 09:24:25
I’m not sure he is good enough for prem. So hopefully he does well where he goes and they buy him. And yes you would think that indicates incoming.
2.) 09 Jan 2023 10:06:47
A loan at the start of the season would’ve been the best thing, had we landed the right striker then. He needs a full season of regular football to help him fulfill his talent. I’m sure time away would see us getting back a much stronger and capable player. He does have it in him imo.
3.) 09 Jan 2023 13:31:57
You’d think the pope would be a good striker given time bright. Lol.
4.) 09 Jan 2023 17:15:17
I hear he showed a lot of promise in his early days, Aus. ???.
5.) 10 Jan 2023 07:23:51
Yeah, think Joffy was probably overhyped tbh, he gives his all but not sure he’s got enough about him to be a Premier League striker. Hope I’m wrong.
08 Sep 2020 16:36:42
New rumour from a few different sources (French Football News/ Goal) saying we are trying to convince Julian Draxler to join from PSG.
Highly, highly unlikely, but wouldn’t that be epic!
1.) 08 Sep 2020 18:08:11
Epic effort but looks like he prefers living in Paris to living in Leeds
Strange lad.
2.) 08 Sep 2020 18:49:22
Yes apparently he is not interested.
Next!
3.) 09 Sep 2020 00:38:30
Other woody 😂.
4.) 09 Sep 2020 12:43:40
He is on £120,000.a week. Never happening.
5.) 09 Sep 2020 13:16:20
Draxler, Really? let's just park him on the list between Messi and Bale. Just above Ronaldo (Christiano that is) .
Maybe he does prefer Paris to Leeds but he could live in Batley and get the train in.
6.) 10 Sep 2020 11:10:37
Why not Beeston, and just walk to the ground?
26 Aug 2020 13:01:05
Apparently Greenwood from Arsenal is also having a medical today! This lad could be good signing, he chose Leeds over Man U! The lad is obviously bright as well!

FFS, BA starts again!
What pictures does he have of DF to keep getting picked, especially after DJ is fit and played so well for Wales.
09 Nov 2025 15:59:50
I’ve now joined the ‘Farke Out’ brigade. That was woeful.
1.) 09 Nov 2025 16:01:57
Too right mate. Bloke is a moron. Literally useless.
2.) 09 Nov 2025 16:52:56
Absolutely toothless display today, as soon as The Florests equalised our boys heads went down.
Farke is too nice a gaffer, the boys need a Dyche type leader, who gets his teams to graft and bully
I'm off to drown in my Sunday dinner.
3.) 09 Nov 2025 16:59:17
Me too MG. A fresh set of eyes needed. This season was always going to be very, very difficult anyway, but today makes it seem much more difficult than just a scrap for survival.
4.) 09 Nov 2025 17:59:00
Today was the turning point for me too. Up until today I felt he was the best option.
5.) 09 Nov 2025 18:11:05
No he will be fine.
24 Oct 2025 18:50:52
Hallelujah, Bijol starts, as does AO! Shame BA is starting over DJ, but a decent line up. Let’s see if they can deliver!
1.) 24 Oct 2025 19:02:13
Maybe DJ not yet up to playing 90mins.
2.) 24 Oct 2025 19:06:07
He asked. for. it. ?
Farke out, regardless of result
The lad is a waste of a position.
3.) 24 Oct 2025 20:06:15
See, subliminal messaging on my behalf
Go on Brendan lad woo boo l???.
4.) 24 Oct 2025 21:09:58
He hasn't been tho, has he. Been clattered plenty, put himself about, linked up well with others, few goid crosses, getting into good positions. When DJ is fit BA won't start, and you'll get your wish, so just support the lad.
Don't get me wrong, he needs to be out when we have better and fitter options, but we don't!
01 Sep 2025 22:58:36
Does anyone else think the reason they promoted Underwood from within is because they knew and told him, that there wasn’t £150m available as Paraag told us all?
Would have struggled to get a high profile Sporting Director for a newly promoted team, with a tiny budget, so go for the easy option with Underwood?
I’m beyond disappointed, I am angry at the way they have failed to conduct business, unlike every other club.
Paraag negotiates deals in his sleep! He couldn’t negotiate his way around IKEA.
1.) 01 Sep 2025 23:46:35
Quite possibly I’d say.
2.) 01 Sep 2025 23:55:48
Wonder if we've spent 150 million.
100 million on players transfer fees, then top up with dreaded agent fees plus a few million in wages for each player?
3.) 02 Sep 2025 08:28:54
I wonder if we have actually spend any money net since the 49ers became majority owners we took in net 140 mil last season plus parachute payments of upto 80 mil ( which I know will go to running the club)
And in that time can u remember a marquee signing from them none of these lot are it must have been piece in the efl or I missed him
This looks very much like the season we went down a lack of goals with 4 managers and a fire sale to follow
Only can hope that they jell together and put up a fight but I fear with very little gaols it going to be a bit like arsenal one week and Newcastle the next.
01 Sep 2025 15:29:20
It’s all going to be alright lads, the Marquee Signing is Harry Wilson
FFS!
I’m thinking Paraag may have lied again!
Who knows, maybe the next 4 hours may be monumental, but then again, maybe it’s Piroe back up front next game.
1.) 01 Sep 2025 15:39:18
yeah I hear we are talking about a perm move for Wilson now. Fulham rejected the loan.
2.) 01 Sep 2025 16:58:47
Personally, I think that's a good buy. He's a pretty decent player, with EPL experience and can take a good free kick.
3.) 01 Sep 2025 17:32:27
1 hour 29 mins to go what a s@£t show
Underwood resign
Parag resign.
4.) 01 Sep 2025 17:42:42
Agree Ani - wouldn't be my first choice but he is a fairly decent player as you say.
Think we would all feel a lot better if we can just get one more over the line.
5.) 01 Sep 2025 18:30:09
I'm with Ani, Wilson a decent addition imo, better than what we have currently.

Should have bought Solomon in the summer Aus, cannot understand for one second why we didn't get the deal done.
Well I can, our recruitment team are Pony.
03 Dec 2025 14:19:51
I hope 2 minimum actually means 5 Alf.
20 Nov 2025 13:07:36
Keep Bij Aus, the rest can go as a swap plus cash deal for me.
20 Nov 2025 13:03:19
Completely agree Class.
I think that's the challenge, finding someone decent enough that want to come. Apart from a foreign manager who is desperate to work in the EPL, we are only going to attract those who are available and are happy to go to any EPL for a payday, and therefore we will likely get relegated.
There is also the question, if they are available, why are they available?
I still have a feeling (but it might be indigestion) that Gerrard will end up coming in, but wouldn't feel too optimistic about survival in that instance.
I think we need a manager who has the balls to go out and attack, to try and win games in the first 30 minutes. We would lose some for sure, but think with the players we have (and hopefully those who come in during January) , we would climb high enough to avoid relegation.
Not sure who that manager is though, someone Bielsa'ish, but who is open to changing tactics if things are not working out.
17 Jun 2025 11:39:26
Think Newcastle have squashed those rumours! Hopefully as I reckon Bijal and Rodon would be a great partnership.

Completely agree MOT.
I was fortunate to get tickets for the Chelsea and Palace games, and wow, what a transformation from the games earlier in the season, we now look like a PL team, and not just one to make up the numbers and cannon fodder for the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool.
The turnaround has been monumental and makes me so proud, every player has stepped up and playing well, and for each other.
We still have so much to do, but now it’s in our hands with a team good enough (just need a few more in January) .
Also a big shout out to DF who I said in November needed changing, because something needed to change. He has changed and now showing why he deserves to be manager. Also need to eat some humble pie regarding BA, said he should not be playing, and simply not good enough, well, since DF has altered things, BA has really started to shine, could easily be given MOTM for yesterdays performance.
Another couple of tough games ahead, but the way we are playing, they will be far more nervous about playing us, than we should be about playing them.
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!
29 Nov 2025 15:31:07
Same outcome.
25 Nov 2025 12:37:28
I think Noah is a good signing, although I am still baffled why Leeds and some posters on here didn't want Manor back instead.
I agree, the others listed Chris are all Pony.
On another baffling note, we can't score in a brothel, yet it's reported the muppets in charge are ready to let Harry go on loan this January. Throw a young lad, who has no fear and an attitude into the mix, he cannot do any worse, and would definitely do much better than the ones DF uses.
I prefer the Champo than the Prem anyway.
21 Nov 2025 21:52:25
Full squad available, and I’m sure BA will still start!
DJ fit enough to start for his country, but not his club.
If BA starts over DJ and has another shocker of a game and we don’t get any points on Sunday, that will be the straw that breaks the camels back.
Got to start like a house on fire Sunday and attack at pace to take an early 2-0 lead. If we play the dull, slow build up play DF has adopted in the Prem, I fear my weekend will be ruined.
