What did I tell you? The Leeds way!
Leeds to add RB Daiki Hashioka. Sorry got to go now. Switching to Google?
1.) 28 Jan 2024 11:59:48
There's only one Daiki Hashioka. Well called Leo.
2.) 28 Jan 2024 12:21:58
Leo According to a very new report, this proposed transfer is already off.
3.) 28 Jan 2024 13:49:19
Surely not. Porgs. We only getting 6 in. Not 7 ?.
4.) 28 Jan 2024 15:30:08
Well our team of top notch negotiators are doing great so far.
5.) 28 Jan 2024 18:02:17
Not liking ' the Leeds way '
6.) 28 Jan 2024 18:30:22
Reportedly Benson on his way to join ⚜️⚜️.
7.) 28 Jan 2024 20:02:10
OldBro, you mean the same negotiators that signed Ampadu, Kamara and Gruev for only £17.4m, as well as signing Rodon and Anthony on loan. Hmmmm ?.
8.) 28 Jan 2024 23:19:29
Dill still waiting.
9.) 29 Jan 2024 05:51:40
It's a bit of a fallacy what you're saying. We've negotiated some top deals in the summer, so they're more than capable. I'm expecting something before Thursday.
10.) 29 Jan 2024 07:47:25
Off to luton apparently.
11.) 29 Jan 2024 09:57:14
We are all expecting or should I say hoping.
18 Jan 2024 18:32:21
It's gone awfully quite on Kai Wagner. Anybody any news.
1.) 18 Jan 2024 20:02:52
I thought he'd re signed for Philly?
2.) 18 Jan 2024 20:27:06
He is TRASH!
3.) 19 Jan 2024 05:59:39
What ???says.
03 Jan 2024 13:01:52
The name at the top of the LB list seems to be Josh Doig but can anyone tell me the state of some of the other names that have been mentioned in the past.
1.) 03 Jan 2024 14:24:42
I believe Kai Wagner is now out of contract so would be available for free?
01 Jun 2022 16:44:15
With all this talk of needing a new CF, Ben Brereton Diaz being the latest, does this mean that Joffy is pushed down to No3 choice?
In all the names banded about no one has resurrected Dwight Gayle?
1.) 01 Jun 2022 20:04:26
Personally I’d go after that Beckford lad, Orta closely monitoring a couple of wingers as well kid called Maxwell Gradel and Hadya sakho. 😂😂😂😂.
22 Jan 2022 20:13:17
Not directly connected to Leeds but there is a tenious link. Can I ask (poss Eds) if Derby are wound up, is it immediate or will they complete the season. If it is immediate what happens to the players if it is in Feb. Can they go anywhere as "unattached"?
His name seems to have gone quite lately but are we still interested in Louie Sibley?
By the way when is the decision due?
{Ed002's Note - They would not be Free Agents without the Football League agreeing the cancellation of contracts and clubs cannot take players on who were contracted during the whole of the previous window. Further complication is squad size.}
1.) 23 Jan 2022 08:27:58
Interesting questions Leodis, and I would add another question; what would happen to points gained from Derby? Would everyone’s points just be zeroed? And how can the league ensure that it’s fair, given some sides have beaten them, some have lost, and others (obviously) drawn. It could have a big impact on promotion, play offs, and relegation alike!? #verycomplicated.

I count that a point well earned last night and agree that with a little luck and a better referee we could have come away with all three. The subs, late on, did not enhance the game at all but we have to remember that the team will not get back until 3ish this morning AND have a big game Friday AND a few looked dead on their feet at the end. AND a small squad got even smaller, so gratefull for what we got (but still wanting more)
As for calling for DFs head. What's he done really wrong? After 8 games we are 4th! We do not have a God given right to win every game and sit top of the pile from August to May. let's be a tad more content. We are not World beaters when we win nor are we for the bin when we lose. Early days yet let's see what Friday brings. MOT.
1.) 02 Oct 2024 13:39:00
We had an easy start leodis. Be real. This team/ squad. Should be 6 wins by now.
We are better than what we play mate. Decent manager of whom I don’t know would romp this league. Injuries don’t help mind.
2.) 02 Oct 2024 13:53:23
We have won 4 games out of 8. Winning just half one's matches most definitely will not get top 2.
Earlyish days yes . next 2 matches will be a test Sunderland away and Sheff Utd home.
Fans are understandably nervous as it's a "must go up season".
If Leeds again do NOT go up this season . they very likely never will under Mr Marathe and Co.
3.) 02 Oct 2024 14:48:27
Well said leodis the trouble is so mb r fans have no idea of context and our current circumstances which os what annoys me
They have no consideration for the state the club is in, the players lost the loan situation last summer ffp. Even those moaning about the subs while I agree look at the bench what can farke do?
As all know I don’t rate Belisa but basic facts he spent 45 million the year we went up, farke sold 120 million pound worth of talent. How can people compare.
4.) 02 Oct 2024 14:52:34
Baz,
If Leeds don't go up, Maranthe will sell to red bull, agreeably or otherwise.
5.) 02 Oct 2024 15:08:33
Yep maybe so MOTalaw. re Red Bull.
6.) 02 Oct 2024 15:14:23
Berma however many hundred of times you keep posting your blah blah rinse and repeat Bielsa obsession fiction stuff.
It's still never true.
7.) 02 Oct 2024 15:26:02
. we saw last season that there are fine margins points wise in getting top 2
1) Scoring from corners is a MUST
Currently nil goals in 170 corners under Farke
2) Saving pens is also vital
The XG for scoring a penalty is 0.67 . you would hope and expect therfore a gk might save up to 6 pens in 20.
We have Mes on 0 pens saved out of 20.
8.) 02 Oct 2024 15:59:19
Thanks Bermo it seems that if we had won 7 and drawn 1 some folk would still find cause to moan?
9.) 02 Oct 2024 17:28:40
Baz, in the history of penalties, 87% are scored, around 6% are saved and 7% are missed. Had Mes saved last night he would have been on 10%!
Mes has saved 1 in 20! Basically bang average!
Someone saving 6 in 20, is 30%! Forget penalties most teams don't score 30% of their shots.
10.) 02 Oct 2024 18:33:07
At 6 foot 6 . Meslier should be saving more than 1 in 20.
David James on pens he is not!
I am sure that former Leeds gks John Lukic, David Harvey, Nigel Martyn, Gary Sprake and David Seaman ( for Gumners) all have far better penalty save records than Mes.
11.) 02 Oct 2024 18:38:10
And if Leeds say get to a playoff final pen shootout . forget it with Hologram Statue Mes in goal.
Maybe we could borrow Emi Martinez for one game ( who has 10 pen saves from 24 pens for Argentina in pen shoot outs) . around 45% saved Ani.
12.) 02 Oct 2024 19:02:21
Baz Polo attempt was abysmal. Been studying him more recently. I believe his major weakness stems from a lack of judgment in judging the pace of a shot. This is manifested further by misjudging his timing to move. He's fine on direction but he's mistiming his dives. Our coaches need to see and work on this imo.
13.) 02 Oct 2024 19:43:09
Interesting post George.
14.) 02 Oct 2024 22:35:10
Aus mate we have not had an easy start whatsoever.
WBA Burnley and Norwich all teams expected to be top 6 or close this season. And personally I think Hull won’t be far away either.
15.) 03 Oct 2024 00:35:20
Disagree cork. Regardless of where they are Sposed to be. We should have best them all. Going on performances. They are bang average and we have the talent to win this league but.
28 Sep 2024 14:16:48
What is the story with Tanaka anyone? Not starting again, WHY?
1.) 28 Sep 2024 15:55:57
See how he does second half.
Good to see Rutter wake Palmer up lol.
2.) 28 Sep 2024 17:08:37
Tanaka did well when he came on. Speculation on the BBC Ampadu could have done his ACL. Hopefully that's not the case. A good solid win and good results for us in the main. 4 points from the next two games would make for a good week. UTW.
3.) 28 Sep 2024 17:30:44
Hopefully not LUFCfeath .
4.) 28 Sep 2024 20:04:44
Think Palmer got the last laugh there Aus!
22 Sep 2024 10:12:05
A bit of shading on the Piroe question. were his previous scoring feats because he was in a team that the opposition did not fear and consequently did not park the bus. The space he used to find just does not exist with Leeds. For all those who are calling for the New Messiah don't forget that he has been given chances, and so far, disappointed. Yes I know he has been played out of position but he has never been told "do not score"?
1.) 22 Sep 2024 11:24:17
Bang on Leodis. Besides him not playing as a lone CF at Swans, there was also the fact that teams left more space for him as they attacked them rather than trying to mitigate things defensively.
He can be a match winner for us in games we have a lead in, but I really struggle to see him as anything else. You are essentially losing out on what he offers by starting him, which in turn just causes us more problems. He's had plenty of opportunities as our lone CF and it's proven to be the case pretty much every time.
2.) 22 Sep 2024 11:27:38
Leo your arguement falls down on one massive point
Pirioes goals per minutes for leeds is as good as any bodies. It’s just typical leeds fans making a snap decision and then useing the echo chamber of a one city club to justify it and make themselves right
If pirole was born in tingley or Harrogate the leeds fans would adore him.
3.) 22 Sep 2024 12:30:04
Sorry Bermo, I am sure many of my thoughts are there to be shot at on many different points. I am sure that you, like many others, do not judge a striker on his birthplace, merely on his goalscoring.
My point, this time, was his goalscoring should be judged in its context. A finisher will always be a finisher but its a damn sight harder when there is no space and the chance is gone in the blink of an eye.
One point I will pick up on from previous posts is that our goalscoring figures are not helped by the seeming reluctance to go for the jugular in promising situations. Maybe this is the conservative style of the manager but oft times threatening plays are stifled by negative passes, allowing defenders get their bus back in position.
I pray that MJ finds his feet and becomes our 20+ fox in the box but this league is both relentless and unforgiving hopefully we will not rue our lack of summer recruitment - striker (and Hamer) .
4.) 22 Sep 2024 13:00:14
Yeah but he has scored a lot of goals per minute so I don’t understand your point?
Last year we got 90 points so we defended well and attacked well, like champions in some seasons so where is the negativity
My comment on birth place is aimed at the fam base. Many players like smith and Phillips are hailed as far better than they are, while others like mes and poroles never given credit. It amazes me.
5.) 22 Sep 2024 14:24:44
Pitoe haa scored one thlrd of Leeds goals this season. he is easily our most prolific player in a team comprising many players who couldn't finish their dinner
Leeds have 4 games coming up against mostly teams in top 6
Get Piroe on pitch.
6.) 22 Sep 2024 16:37:22
Dill So how about playing him as part of a front 2?
7.) 22 Sep 2024 16:43:50
So we shouldn't be selling Piroe now Baz? Changed your mind since pre season?
8.) 22 Sep 2024 17:33:07
I would have preferes an upgrade new striker with even some of the allround ability of Viduka, or Clarke of Yeboah or Jones or Duncan McKenzie
Yet we signed no CF Ani. so. Piroe remains the best we have by some distance in actually scoring goals.
So YES get him on pitch
Good try though Ani ?.
9.) 22 Sep 2024 19:24:32
Who do we take out for him would be my question, George?
Atm it really does seem he's more suited to being brought off the bench when we have a lead. He will win us matches that way. Unless a team decides to attack us from the kick off then Piroe starting has been proven not to work multiple times over. In theory a two could work, but you lose in other areas then. Do we drop Aaronson and lose his workrate, pressing high up the pitch (which has helped us create plenty already this season and makes the team better as a whole) ? I certainly wouldn't. Or Gruev? Again not something I'd wanna do if that was the choice between Gruev or Piroe to start.
For me he's a lock as first sub off the bench if we are winning a game. If we're a goal down and/ or the team is still employing a low block then he needs to be one of the later subs to try nick something, as he just doesn't work when the areas he's best in are so congested. Absolutely should not be starting though. That I am adamant of.
10.) 23 Sep 2024 17:19:12
100% agreed on that there Dill.
21 Sep 2024 14:40:52
As I thought, DF has stayed conservative in his selection. Does he think a wobbly Bogle is still better than Schmidt but more head scratching with his exclusion of Tanaka?
1.) 21 Sep 2024 15:54:13
Poor indeed.
17 Sep 2024 17:39:30
If he is brave this weekend I think could do worse tha give his team a good shake up from the off. Therefore, I propose
Ilan
Schmidt-Rodon-Struijk- Firpo
Amps-Tanaka
Solomon
gnonto-Joseph-Ramazzani
Built with the express instructions of go out and enjoy.
I would also urge caution on the two fullbacks. I would much rather have Tana and Amps causing devilment up top than having to drop back and fill gaps. If there are any games where we should show the gulf in class surely Saturday is one of them?
MOT.
1.) 17 Sep 2024 19:58:49
Nice line up and pep talk Leodis!
2.) 17 Sep 2024 22:39:59
i loo like that line up, thought LR looked decent when came on, looks direct.
Don’t think we need 2 DMF, i like Gruev but think Amps in defensive role and a more attacking MF be better, that should’ve been Hamer?
Also agree that Bogle needs dropping and if schmidt can play RB, then do it.
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 2024 13:59:34
Sort of agree Classy. Now that Leeds are not in the Prem I never bother watching MOTD. Just not interested. Just listen to the goings on at the top 6 as a pure matter of curiosity.
Maybe I am a bit myopic for I even will not go out of my way to keep up to date on the rest of the Championship runners and riders. Maybe that will change come the pointy end of the season but right now all I care about is my beloved Mighty Whites. I devour every scrap of news, non news, and downright speculation.
I would do that wether we are first or 24th.
06 Oct 2024 10:07:15
Wow Aus your medication is starting to work. That was nearly calm and thoughtfull. well done much more readable and certainly good for your lood Pressure.
05 Oct 2024 14:37:31
Greed Corky for most of the match it was a toss up who would get the early bath Aaronsen or Bogle. Aaronsen masks his imperfection with his workrate. He certainly runs around a lot, can't fault him there but in every area (apart from running) he just seems to fall short. Come next summer (or January) we can and must upgrade.
05 Oct 2024 11:11:31
Agreed Bermo, let's see a bit of perspective here. Yes it was a howler but if we dropped a player that missed a sitter or even miskicked a through ball then we would have a massive problem, picking a team? Let's learn regroup and go again.
05 Oct 2024 10:58:49
Nobody, Messi, included, plays a blinder every game of the season. Let's have a litte perspective and bond together behind the team. Yes he made a mistake, yes it cost us 2 points but let's remember all the brickbats the next time he saves us 2 points with a worldy save.
