Leeds considering move to sign El Chadaille Bitshiabu on loan in January, with Daniel Farke now making the addition of another centre-half a major January priority.

23 Dec 2025 12:37:14
Rico Lewis another that we are looking at.

23 Dec 2025 13:35:22
We already have 5 DMs and 3 Wing Backs, should we really be expending our admittedly limited transfer budget on another?

26 Dec 2025 17:49:55
No need another goal scorer, am and dm plus cb.

27 Dec 2025 10:53:44
Here we go again with people producing shopping lists of new players we '"need". Firstly, in the Jan window the chances of acquiring good enough quality players are slim, unless you can splash the cash, which we can't, so we need to prioritise. Do we need a new GK, Mes is likely with us til June, so if Darlow signs a contract extension probably no. We've got 3 decent wing backs, so do we need another, no again. We've got 4 CBs so OK there too - someone even suggested sending Bornauw (a CB) out on loan and getting another CB in on loan, really, what's that all about? We've got 5 CM/ DMs, so OK there too. Our key requirememts, if such are available (doubtful) are a striker to cover for any injuries to DCL or Nmecha and an AM or No 10 to add a creative link between midfield and strikers, but such players are like gold dust and everybody wants them.

We've allegedly maxed out out PSR spend, so at best we can bring in 2 new players, and even that may require some outgoings to balance the books. Apart from Harry Gray (who we absolutely should NOT consider selling) we've not got the potential to raise much cash, so our Jan transfer business will probably be little or none at all. If we can bring anyone in, then s striker or No 10 should be the key priorities.

27 Dec 2025 11:59:29
Agree JR, totally.
More talk of Oxlade Chamberlain, who is worth considering at 10, on a deal to season end, given he was reportedly on approx 40k/ wk in Turkey.

28 Dec 2025 00:57:40
Ox was touted around in June, and nobody took the bait then (us included) so maybe the consensus is that he's not worth the risk at that price. Maybe worth a punt at 3 to 5.

23 Dec 2025 12:36:52
Orsolini a name that is being linked.

22 Dec 2025 14:06:14
New rumour that Man City are looking to poach Harry Gray, but looking to cut the price by offering Kalvin Phillips in part exchange. My view is that we should tell them we're not interested in taking KP back, but if they want to do a PX deal we'll take Erling Haarland off their hands, otherwise no deal and they can go forth and multiply.

22 Dec 2025 15:54:19
40 million for Gray. No way we can keep hold of him if we're offered that.

One has to wonder, if Man City see him as so valuable, why we aren't playing he next to DCL?

22 Dec 2025 17:10:30
It's money for a future superstar, which I'm pretty sure he will be, even more so than Archie. He'd be out on loan for a long while I'd guess. That money, with or without Kal, will be almost impossible to turn down, sadly.

22 Dec 2025 17:56:31
KP has nothing to offer but passion IMO.
Not sure how the upcoming financial changes will affect our choices, I'd rather keep Gray and let him become worth more than 40mill, but the money would make a huge difference if true.

23 Dec 2025 23:16:49
I’d rather keep him. We do need additions but tbh I think our chances of survival with the team we have, have improved dramatically recently.
Bit out there. But why not use gray if dcl Injured?

20 Dec 2025 00:18:17
Rumour has us in box seat for Vargas.

20 Dec 2025 14:35:41
One factor in our favour, is he's stated a desire to play alongside Okafor!

18 Dec 2025 22:17:14
Sheffield United have set a £20M valuation on midfielder Sydie Peck, with a loan-back provision preferred for any permanent January transfer. Leeds interested in Peck.

20 Dec 2025 06:37:30
No thanks. Maybe straight swap for mez or Harrison.

22 Dec 2025 14:09:52
Peck is only an average Champo level player, surely we can aim a bit higher.

16 Dec 2025 15:42:24
Leeds United are interested in Ruben Vargas from Sevilla.
He can play as LW/ RW and a number 10.
DF wanted him even at his Gladbach times.

16 Dec 2025 23:08:49
Newcastle and Spuds rumoured to be after him too.
Suggested we may be offering €20m (£17.5m) . Okafor may be asked to help persuade him.

17 Dec 2025 16:23:51
Okafor won't know him as he doesn't get picked for Switzerland 😂.

18 Dec 2025 07:18:48
Not sure Okafor will persuade a player to join who plays same position as him.

18 Dec 2025 09:27:04
Ruben can play many positions.

18 Dec 2025 10:08:45
Including okafors.

20 Dec 2025 20:58:36
He’s injury prone in a big way.

15 Dec 2025 17:33:29
Not Leeds related, but.

Cole Palmer has been scammed out of £10m after investing in a Serbian seaport project, only to later realize that Serbia does not have access to the sea.

16 Dec 2025 15:52:01
is that genuine?

16 Dec 2025 17:17:48
TBH Alf, I dunno!
On first read, I just laughed, but then, when I thought about it, the lad's possibly enough of a nugget for it to be true! That's half the reason I shared it!

16 Dec 2025 17:48:41
i can't see it being true sadly - players have advisors for such investments, particularly for such large amounts.

05 Dec 2025 02:26:54
Rumours knocking about that Ten Haag will be our next manager.

05 Dec 2025 09:20:52
I did wonder when his name would crop up!

05 Dec 2025 14:13:35
No no no. Rather keep Farke and that says a huge lot. 10cents why. Let’s try for a successful manager.

03 Dec 2025 11:16:35
We are apparently looking to make a minimum of 2 signings in Jan.

03 Dec 2025 14:19:51
I hope 2 minimum actually means 5 Alf.

03 Dec 2025 15:05:59
Problem with Jan signings is they rarely work Alf, Gio being a good example. Thing is most decent players are not available, the ones that are, well, they are usually surplus for a reason. Would like the Russian striker tho, can't remember his name, but he suggested he would be open to a move in the winter.

03 Dec 2025 15:25:36
Another GK and another DM?

04 Dec 2025 01:04:39
Better 2 really good than 5 just average. Ideally I'd like a decent striker and a good No 10, but whilst hat's not very likely those are the positions I'd prioritise. I'd love to get Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid, even if only on loan, but we're. never that lucky.

04 Dec 2025 07:25:25
We need a young quick striker and attacking mid. Still.
And if we feeling flush. A goalkeeper too. Get rid of gnonto, piroe and mez. Few bob there. They ain’t playing do luggage.

04 Dec 2025 07:42:28
We would likely have to sell players to get more than 3 in. We have around £30m / £35m to spend I think. Will likely look to shift Piroe and Gnonto. Maybe Struijk but we would need to keep him if we want to continue with a back 3.

05 Dec 2025 10:53:57
Ivan Toney and Harry Wilson would be a very eye catching couple of signings in January and maybe Kalvin Philips on a loan deal or a free as cover for one of our midfielders and if needed in central defence as I think Bielsa used him well in that position and was surprised Pep didn't try and do likewise at City where sadly his form and confidence has fallen off a cliff but maybe it's worth Leeds trying to help KP make a comeback.

05 Dec 2025 14:15:51
He is Leeds Cheshire. But not good enough now. Shame. Bielsa made him. Brilliant midfielder but the rest destroyed that. Shadow and burden on us now. Pass.

08 Dec 2025 21:36:52
Get KPback. He would fit into this team like a dream.
