Anybody any insight into this new name in the frame - Marc Guiu?
1.) 22 Jul 2025 15:23:29
19 I believe Chelsea 5th choice nice player but not fully proven.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 18:48:05
Neither was Lukaku when he went to West Brom all those years ago
A Chelsea 5th line player would still be a good addition for us at this time. Ampadu wasn't a Chelsea regular but is doing very well for us.
3.) 22 Jul 2025 18:48:06
We're not interested, Guiu will end up on loan in the Champ.
4.) 23 Jul 2025 07:52:35
Lukaku had scored 43 senior goals before joining West Brom, Guiu has 8, would not be a good signing.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke axe ?.
6.) 23 Jul 2025 20:05:48
Borate. your right.
22 Apr 2025 16:25:39
I wonder how much weight there was to newspaper reports of "Leeds are interested in". I have forgotten some of the recent ones. To see if they resurface. Except for some reason? Diego Luna.
Let's see if we are still interested (if we ever were) .
17 Mar 2025 17:48:03
What do people think of the return of the Prodigal Son?
When he was with us he performed admirably (tho there were some notable detractors) however for the price we would pay and the player we would have to drop he does not now seem the ideal choice. Who could split a Ampadou/ Tanaka partnership. That is not even taking into consideration his average performances in his recent history.
No, for me the Kalvin Philips/ Leeds Utd partnership has had its day and as the old adage goes "never go back*.
1.) 17 Mar 2025 19:22:55
Said pretty much the same mate.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 21:47:53
Pure clickbait guff . never happening imo.
3.) 17 Mar 2025 21:50:12
LUFC players that came back and played well
John Lukic
David Batty
Peter Lorimer
Frankie Gray
Probably others.
4.) 17 Mar 2025 22:10:40
Scott Sellers
David Harvey
Etc etc.
5.) 17 Mar 2025 22:53:17
Ian Baird.
No thanks KP.
6.) 18 Mar 2025 14:25:29
We will lose a few players when we're promoted.
Bring KP back.
7.) 19 Mar 2025 00:04:11
I think there's a deal to be done - as ever at the right price.
Is Phillips right now worth the clickbait £20m mooted, absolutely not. Is it true that his best form and performances came for us? Yes. Media have to read the climate too. If he can't get in the Ipswich lineup regularly and is an albatross contract for City, their bargaining power really isn't all that. I'd offer a loan with maybe 40-50% of his wages, and an offer linked to appearances to buy out his final year entirely (about £8m) if a clause of say 25 league appearances is met. If the love/ motivation of playing for Leeds again nets us a player that's 80/ 90% of the one that left its a good deal. City might think they can do better than that, if so good luck to them.
I happen to think Phillips would be an upgrade on Gruev (who has done a lovely job for £5m-but would be found out in Prem) .
30 Jan 2025 17:30:06
Could we be interested in Chuba Akpom? Just reading Sunderland are sniffing.
1.) 30 Jan 2025 18:35:39
When it comes to the haphazard not exactly proactive nor efficient nature of LUFC recruiting
I find myself listening and empathising with Demi Lovato's power ballad :
" ANYONE! ". ???
#getusastriker.
2.) 30 Jan 2025 20:10:54
No links from LUFC to Akpom that I know of.
3.) 30 Jan 2025 20:44:29
Heard Leicester were in for him.
30 Jan 2025 17:27:21
matt targett. Are we getting him? Is he coming. If not what about young Charlie Taylor?
1.) 30 Jan 2025 20:10:19
Apparently not. To either.

Tanaka/ Longstaff is a seperate discussion but the glaring arguement for now is Daniels love for Aaronsen. Can he not see what we all can. Many pundits also worried about his struggling abilities in the Championship (made even more apparent in the Prem) . let's hope he proves me wrong and plays a blinder however I fear that Daniel will lose even more supporters with his insistence.
1.) 20 Sep 2025 15:21:32
Leodis, this is and was always going to be the issue with Farke and his favourites. Too 1 dimensional tactically too risk averse and should have gone in the summer, he achieved what he was brought in for, now we need a far better tactician. , his term of “defensive winger “ says all you need to know.
This squad is screening out for 2 up top.
2.) 20 Sep 2025 15:30:02
Lost me an hour ago
Aaronson is so bad.
3.) 20 Sep 2025 15:57:40
He has not been bad in that first half. Not a great signing, not a great shot on him, but he's not been anything like as bad as some make out.
4.) 20 Sep 2025 17:07:52
Sorry Brighty, apart from running around a lot what did he actually do? Especially that was creative and threatening.
5.) 20 Sep 2025 17:13:17
No he’s actually worse Brighty!
6.) 20 Sep 2025 18:00:12
Two breaks thro their defence, linking up well with others, and a slide rule ball thro into the area that DCL should have at least got away a shot from, if not more.
Very ably assisted Bogle defensively, and didn't get the usual high level of support from Boges going forward.
Unfortunately, people are so blinded looking for negatives, they can't see the positives.
14 Sep 2025 21:01:54
Look at it this way - we are only 4 points off a europe place.
1.) 14 Sep 2025 22:20:37
Brilliant that made me chuckle and much needed.
2.) 14 Sep 2025 22:30:19
Far too much of a positive way to look at things Leodis.
3.) 15 Sep 2025 09:53:14
Yep. You can pack that in reet now Leodis, you cheeky monkey!
03 Sep 2025 15:36:06
Leeds moving to sign - Brownhill. Nothing against the man but it smacks more of desperation than calculated!
1.) 03 Sep 2025 15:55:33
Maybe so, Leo, but I think he would be a good addition though.
2.) 03 Sep 2025 17:18:45
I had a look at the free agent list and the name that stuck out to me was Dele Alli - what a waste of a talent. I know the lad has had his problems but surely someone should be able to give him the counselling he needs and get him back onto a football pitch again (he's still only 29) .
It would be lovely to think that Leeds United could be the club that gives him another chance - if we did, and it worked out, we would have one hell of a player sitting just behind the main striker (plus he's always been able to find the net himself) .
Any other takers?
3.) 03 Sep 2025 18:05:15
In a word Cleggy- no
He’s done finished all very sad but you wouldn’t hire a man to dig a hole who’d lost his spade.
4.) 03 Sep 2025 18:26:11
Unfortunately no.
A great talent and in his prime 100% would be amazing but right now closer to 30% of his peak if that.
I hope he gets there but can't see it being with us.
5.) 04 Sep 2025 07:09:37
Josh Brownhill is looking to bury his nose in lots of the filthy mulah. Saudi Pro League will be his next destination.
6.) 04 Sep 2025 08:25:09
I would rather him go there than to one of our direct rivals.
03 Sep 2025 11:14:24
A solid window start fizzled out worryingly. I hope that we will not be one of those teams (come May) that is talked about as being strong at the back "but just can't score"
We are living just an injury away from a death sentence.
I would dearly love to know who put us in this position after so much promise?
1.) 03 Sep 2025 14:23:56
How we going to score. Pretty much 0 from 3. Over a season that’s like at best 15 goals. What’s going to change? Teams suddenly feel sorry for us ala bielsa and villa. Nah.
2.) 03 Sep 2025 21:27:37
At the start of last season folks were saying exactly the same thing when we lost Summerville and Rutter (nearly 50 goals and assists between them) .
Baz famously said Joseph was to be the leagues top scorer! Ho-hum.
We’ll score enough in my opinion.
3.) 04 Sep 2025 07:46:57
Totally agree Ani, our problem in my opinion since Bielsa days has not been about creating and scoring goals, it’s been more about our midfield and defense, we’ve leaked far too many goals.
Hopefully with our new recruits this will change and make us a stronger team.
4.) 04 Sep 2025 14:51:46
I wouldn’t be too confident of the defense either. It’s still more or less same as last season.
02 Sep 2025 10:03:08
Well in the end, what was shaping up as a solid window ended as a frustrating window.
What is needed now is, as Class mentioned, an autopsy. Somewhere, someone failed!
Be it lack of money. Be it selling skills or maybe even basic negotiating skills? To have over a dozen "names" who could have enhanced our squad slip through our fingers is unforgivable. Surely we are not THAT much of a gamble? Our close rivals have proved that recruitment can be done so why not us?
The money is held by the 49rs and the negotiating is done by Underwood et al so it is hard to point the finger at Farke yet it is he who will pay the price for what seems like naivety (incompetence at the worse).
As with other windows we look at lack of incomings and wonder/ hope they can pull it off - again. We got lucky last year BUT can they do it, again?
It is what it is and as Class so eloquently puts it "I will cheer them on to the last".
1.) 02 Sep 2025 12:44:06
Stelling and Mc Coist think we had the worst window in the PL!
2.) 02 Sep 2025 19:48:16
Really! That's a load of bovine faeces.
Fulham only one player in for just £550k and £10m out. Brentford have lost Mbuemo, Norgaard, Flekken and Wissa along with their manager and half the coaching team. Wolves lost Cunha and Ait-Nouri and got lesser replacements. Palace lost their key man Eze and didn't really replace him. Bournemouth lost Kerkez, Huijsen and Outtara.
For sure we had the worst end to the window, but much of what we did earlier was good. Now the talking is over and the walking begins.
12 Jan 2023 16:33:38
Personally I am still awaiting Red Bull?
08 Sep 2022 13:37:40
He sounds top notch but my only misgiving would be; if he is so good why not a starter for 11th placed Fiorentina. Surely they must see his exponential growth.
I hope you are right and he is a gem waiting to be found, we could do with another Raphina. Law of averages says that somewhere out there is some young lad, with it all, waiting to be discovered.
05 May 2022 10:01:22
It may be a bit Rocky when he is here?
14 Dec 2021 21:04:22
It so annoys me to read we are after a new striker when we have a 30 goal a season striker in the U23s that doesn't get played?
14 Aug 2021 16:06:56
A good thought but we are leaking in the middle not on the wing.
06 Oct 2025 22:17:58
Totally agree Corkey. Just wish, at times, it came with subtitles.
05 Oct 2025 09:20:26
Ben, I hope- A good performance but wrong result, is not our epitaph
come May.
28 Sep 2025 12:10:49
If he persists, one will get the other sacked.
21 Sep 2025 13:34:35
Class, that "experiment" is going to get him the sack. If he persists.
20 Sep 2025 17:07:52
Sorry Brighty, apart from running around a lot what did he actually do? Especially that was creative and threatening.
