Gelhardt off to Hull on loan.
1.) 12 Jan 2025 17:19:03
Reportedly Crew about to go out on loan too.
2.) 12 Jan 2025 19:59:42
Farke out.
08 Jan 2025 19:23:20
Ben Sheaf rumours starting again. We saw a bid turned down for him in the summer allegedly at 3.5m. midfielder and Coventry skipper.
1.) 09 Jan 2025 00:07:18
Def need more midfielders and wingers.
07 Jan 2025 17:54:59
in the YEP: Leeds have dismissed links with Berisha as speculation and maintain they are expecting a quiet January, sentiment Farke has often echoed.
1.) 07 Jan 2025 18:41:10
I wrote one entry in my Leeds diary today. It says "bugger".
07 Jan 2025 17:51:39
River Plate's Conan Ledesma could be on his way to Elland Road with negotiations apparently underway. 31 year old keeper once labelled as the "best in the universe"
1.) 07 Jan 2025 20:32:34
Fingers crossed but other than river plate who has he played for best in the universe would normally be picked up by real or the like but he is a very good keeper.
2.) 07 Jan 2025 21:21:18
Please ? yes.
07 Jan 2025 17:46:18
Leeds are considering a bid to sign Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath. Absolutely can't see this happening as also linked with Prem clubs but hey ho a rumour is a rumour.
1.) 07 Jan 2025 18:42:47
I think he would be great in our squad.
Alf, you've got a lot of experience with this kind of stuff, can you shed some light on why a player wouldn't come to champo team, who needs a striker, who set up goals and don't finish them and who are heading to the prem (?)
Would having 'promotion' on their football CV not be a big plus?
2.) 07 Jan 2025 21:19:19
I like ELL. Would be a top signing. ELL at Elland Road.
3.) 07 Jan 2025 22:36:58
Players careers are short and some shortened even more through bad luck and injury. Higher wages and more exposure not to mention fulfilling dreams are all mighty alluring. Players don't want to be in the champ they want to be in the Prem.
4.) 07 Jan 2025 22:39:17
Also players listen to their agents and agents get more money for bigger deals and get 'better' reputations to win more clients, so convince their wards to take the bigger deals.

You must be happy Ed025?
{Ed025's Note - i am Alf, the hard job is getting someone in who can keep us up and move us forward mate..
1.) 10 Jan 2025 08:19:43
Who would you like as new Everton boss Ed025?
Hands off Farkey! ?
And Nuno!
{Ed025's Note - im really not sure you know Baz, i certainly dont want Mourinho or Moyes thats for certain because they are old hat and have had their time, someone progressive and could move the club forward would be nice and names like Iriola and Thomas Frank have been mentioned, but we seem to be a graveyard for good managers and would they leave very respectable clubs for us?..i doubt it mate..
2.) 10 Jan 2025 10:43:36
Get Big Sam into Goodison, he is the saviour!
3.) 10 Jan 2025 12:27:40
How about gracia or marche.
4.) 10 Jan 2025 13:40:04
I liked Gracia, very humble man and impossible assignment.
5.) 10 Jan 2025 13:50:37
Are you serious mid or is that a Joke? Please tell me.
6.) 10 Jan 2025 13:56:30
Ed025 Go for Gary O'Neill.
{Ed025's Note - i would certainly prefer him to Moyes George, i thought he got a bit of a raw deal at Wolves mate and his teams play decent football..
7.) 10 Jan 2025 17:53:59
Good coach Gary O’Neill, but I heard he’s been cursed by the Gods of VAR.
8.) 10 Jan 2025 20:53:35
Defo joke Aus, I couldn’t think of anyone better suited to take Everton down, sorry Ed, but it’s time Everton had a spell in the Championship, especially with a shiny new stadium.
9.) 11 Jan 2025 02:09:31
Everton last got relegated in the 1950s I think.70 years ago!
10 Jan 2025 06:42:35
Farke manager of the month for December: Farke had Leeds running at their opponents from all angles in December with eight different scorers among their 13 goals. Irresistible at Elland Road, they conceded just two in a haul of 16 points from six games to move top of the Championship.
Farke said: “This award is a reflection of the hard work of everyone at the club in December. It was great to go unbeaten in what is a notoriously difficult month and now we have to keep going in the same manner. ”
Danny Wilson chairs the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month judging panel.
He said: “It was a great festive month for Daniel and his Leeds side. Presents galore in the form of points. 16 returned in an unbeaten 6 games, an assortment of scorers and only conceding 2 goals, earning the right to move to the top of the tree in the Championship. ”.
1.) 10 Jan 2025 07:00:17
BUT Four ridiculous crucial dropped points since from the first 2 games in January 2025
DF got several Manager of Months last season too but he and LUFC still failed to get the award of promotion; the award that really matters!
Are we getting top 2 Alf this season or another 3rd or 4th in your opinion?
2.) 10 Jan 2025 07:01:40
Here here Alf. The future is bright the future is white. Champions here we come.
3.) 10 Jan 2025 07:41:47
Thanks for posting that Alf, although I still think It won’t make some fans on here happy as they have already decided they want him sacked!
Am I on a Leeds forum here?
4.) 10 Jan 2025 08:02:26
Let’s pick the negatives out of this one! Unbelievable Jeff!
Well done DF, let’s keep it going!
5.) 10 Jan 2025 08:25:06
Farkey won't be sacked OP . he will get the rest of season ( at least)
. whether we now get (what should have been been comfortable) promotion remains to be seen
M.
6.) 10 Jan 2025 09:13:24
Baz you don’t need to tell me Farke won’t be sacked because quite clearly in my opinion you would have a hole in your head to think he will be.
But you seem to be the biggest voice on this forum for him to be sacked, quite a number of times in fact.
7.) 10 Jan 2025 21:34:43
I never make predictions, and I never will.
8.) 10 Jan 2025 22:39:17
That could be misconstrued as a prediction Alf ?.
9.) 11 Jan 2025 02:11:06
Indeed Class.
Come on Alfie be brave.
10.) 11 Jan 2025 06:54:13
It's one of my favourite football related quotes for exactly that reason Class - originally said by one Paul 'Gazza' Gascoigne I believe.
09 Jan 2025 22:39:10

A LEADER, a winner, a champion, a fighter, an inspired of fans and team mates, an ambassador, a humble man, a man/ player who genuinely loves LUFC and the fans reciprocated that love❤️
Literally thousands of Leeds fans travelled to watch him play in Spain after he left LUFC ❤️
Mucho gracias LUFC Legend Pablo.

And a pessimistic Alan Partridge in a propagandized pear ? tree ?.
5.) 10 Jan 2025 06:06:43
Brilliant LAD.
6.) 10 Jan 2025 08:03:46
Awesome LAD, so accurate ?.
01 Jan 2025 20:23:15
Just like the slugs coming out after the rain, the negatives are all at it again. We have had a brilliant run of results over the festive period (a period we often do terribly in) and we can't win them all. Get a grip of yourselves it's not the end of the world getting a draw against a solid team.
1.) 01 Jan 2025 22:10:17
Absolutely Alf, a great Christmas, top of the league, results went for us again today after a disappointing draw against a decent team.
It’s all positive MOT.
2.) 02 Jan 2025 05:19:43
Well said mate.
31 Dec 2024 17:52:29
Happy New Year to all Leeds posters and readers on the site. Thanks for keeping me relatively sane in 24 and see you in 25.
Happy New Year and thanks for all your help to the Eds as well.
Stay safe everyone and have a great night.
{Ed001's Note - HNY Alfie and everyone else on here, hope you all have a great night.}
1.) 31 Dec 2024 18:22:27
Well said Aft. Happy New Year to all the contributors to the site.
Special thanks to the Ed's for making it possible and keeping it sane.
{Ed001's Note - I am not so sure about the keeping it sane bit!}
2.) 31 Dec 2024 18:51:16
To one and all hope you have A good New Year’s Eve . Drink and be Mary’s for tomorrow we push on and up wards?.
3.) 31 Dec 2024 18:47:01
Indeed Alf, Happy New Year to all, and thanks Ed's for all your efforts ?.
{Ed001's Note - thank you dougie, HNY mate.}

Happy new year to everyone, let's hope that 2025 is a great one for Leeds:)
5.) 31 Dec 2024 20:24:35
All the very best everyone!
6.) 31 Dec 2024 22:10:45
A very happy and healthy new year to every poster and of course the Eds, without who it would not be possible to tickle each others emotions. Enjoy and be safe. Up The Whites and down whatever takes yer fancy ???.
{Ed001's Note - thank you vid HNY mate.}

07 Jan 2025 17:53:14
Haven't heard an update on that Aus, just the confirmation of the bid that apparently came from DOF at Mjällby. It's unsure whether this would also be an immediate first team signing as it would represent a massive step up for the youngster.
07 Jan 2025 17:48:13
£10m the reported figure which would likely be loan with obligation to buy. Blunts also interested.
06 Jan 2025 19:27:04
I believe so MOT although he has only been with the club 18months so their paths probably didn't cross.
12 Jan 2025 21:16:17
Another brilliant parody post from our very own two wallies :D.
12 Jan 2025 21:15:32
Another hilarious parody post Baz. Well done ?.
12 Jan 2025 21:13:34
Thats the one OP. Georgina and Baz have a similar one. It's a different kind of moaning.
12 Jan 2025 11:29:34
Aus becoming increasingly miserable as the season wears on Koch. You'd think the Australian weather would give one a slightly more optimistic outlook wouldn't you?
12 Jan 2025 11:28:05
It was treated as a friendly really. Giving players some much needed minutes to get match fitness back was clearly the priority.
