Announcement before the game tomorrow, supposedly around Wilko and Eddie Gray, anyone heard anything?

26 Sep 2025 16:53:13
To honour Howard Wilkinson, the 49ers are buying Wilko's and Elland Road will be renamed the 'Wilko-Gray 49ers Stadium, sponsored by Red Bull, funded in part by the San Fransisco 49ers Enterprise Franchise. '

The stadium expansion is just to fit the sign on.

26 Sep 2025 18:18:01
Brilliant Mo.

26 Sep 2025 20:04:44
I hope it's a new PA system, otherwise we'll be no wiser tomorrow as you can't understand anything they're saying through the current one GS 😁.

09 Sep 2025 17:20:12
Perri apparently injured in training. Farke to update at Thursday's presser. Meslier could be back in the squad.

09 Sep 2025 18:05:12
Surely Darlow over Meslier?!

09 Sep 2025 23:12:16
I would think so.

10 Sep 2025 12:42:52
After Darlows absolute rubbish show against Wednesdays U16s, I rather see Cairns between the sticks!

10 Sep 2025 15:11:35
Get your gloves Berm.

10 Sep 2025 18:54:11
Meslier ALWAYS before Karl.

11 Sep 2025 00:19:23
Hilarious thread. Is it comedy night?

11 Sep 2025 16:44:25
Darlow it is then.

12 Sep 2025 08:01:54
Currently giving my head a wobble. We won't beat Fulham; I retract my previous statement!

25 Sep 2025 20:31:00
Did alright, didn't he? Motm and two class saves.

08 Sep 2025 13:42:16
So is that Gruev, Tanaka and Ampadu all injured for the Fulham game?

09 Sep 2025 06:34:03
Amps might be back.

09 Sep 2025 12:53:08
also hearing Ao is back in training

although Perri may have an injury.

03 Sep 2025 13:59:23
Linked to Brownhill as a free transfer.

03 Sep 2025 17:35:04
He's gone to saudi.

03 Sep 2025 19:46:47
Must've wanted too much wonga!

03 Sep 2025 23:22:58
Apparently rejected £100k a week as wanted more.

04 Sep 2025 03:55:42
Ridiculous how pretty much average players want and get 100k.

04 Sep 2025 07:49:43
World's gone maaaaad.

04 Sep 2025 11:36:10
What about Hakim Ziyech?

04 Sep 2025 14:08:28
32 isn’t he? A gamble. Heavy pay packet on games goals and assists. Why not.
Yanks prob know better mind. Obviously.

04 Sep 2025 15:32:37
Rumours that Mitrovic might soon become available. Allegedly the Saudi club are desperate to move him on, and are even considering terminating his contract to allow him to leave on a free.

04 Sep 2025 17:45:46
Gone to Qatar or somat like that has Mitro.

02 Sep 2025 21:44:36
Hearing a few reports that we are very close to PSR limits - to the extent that we will probably need to sell a major player before June. If this is true it makes our window even better as we managed a decent number of signings on a very limited budget. During the window one of my contacts also mentioned a few times to expect at least one key player being sold. I imagined this would be Amps or Struijk or both so we have arguably done well to keep them both. If it was Struijk it might also explain why we are not really playing our new defenders as yet as we are arguably overstocked in that area. If one or both had been sold that would have generated more income for incomings.

03 Sep 2025 05:20:05
Sounds like PR guff.

Sell a major player? That's Tanaka gone then.

03 Sep 2025 08:10:10
On the contrary Mo. It sounds perfectly feasible to me. The club are not going to send such "PR guff" into the public domain when they know that ACTUAL FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS are going to be available to all and sundry! Now that would be a major PR balls up wouldn't it!?

03 Sep 2025 08:40:48
Sounds plausible to me also Alf, and further supports why they paid up PB and loaned Largie.

Of course as a supporter you want the club to be transparent on these issues but they will rightly counter with, if we admitted our true PSR situation then that may have impacted the signings we’ve made to date.

I still believe 49ers communications are shite at best and they clearly don’t get the importance of
maintaining transparency and trust with the supporters.

03 Sep 2025 09:11:03
Bright, they're not posting financial accounts and telling the fan base they have spent close to PSR when they potentially have money back isn't illegal.

It's PR guff because they ballsed up the end of the window.
If they were right up against PSR they wouldn't have signed JJ or bornauw ahead of another 9 when our strikers are injury prone.

03 Sep 2025 09:40:03
But that would contradict everything praag said going into the the Everton game. Every noise that they have made was to expect signings up until the final day and Farke has also been insistent.

I don't buy that at all.

Also why would they submit a loan deal for Wilson, then submit a bid, for a player that's in the last year of his deal. It all just wreaked of last minute desperation.

03 Sep 2025 12:58:50
they expected sales up to the final day also - one balances out the other.

03 Sep 2025 13:01:58
They have succeeded in making sure they stay within PSR parameters as there was a conversation with the finance people who confirmed we were “squeaky clean” obviously I don’t know how close or far away they was but it clearly was a concern based on the conversation they were having.

Would explain why they tried to loan Emi and Wilson before bidding on Wilson.

So presuming somewhere from £5million in the clear to going over if we paid £15mil for Emi.

03 Sep 2025 13:21:23
With all due respect to Alf posting about the club possibly being at their PSR limit like Bushy said I don't buy that for one second and believe it's a weak excuse to deflect from themselves effing up the window and breaking their own promise to fully back Farke in the way Norwich didn't back Farke in his previous EPL campaigns.

Also even if PSR is anywhere close to being an issue try paying your greedy selves and your greedy investors a little less. No I don't expect them to do that.

They are playing us for fools imo if they expect Leeds fans to believe anything other than it was 100% their own incompetence that has us going into the rest of the season on a wing and a prayer that our injury prone forward line can not only stay fit but also are good enough to come up with the goals required from what looks like will be a limited in EPL quality creativity supply.

03 Sep 2025 23:39:02
Couldn’t have put it better myself CW.

02 Sep 2025 16:19:33
Alf/ LAD - any idea whether the Club is actively looking at the remaining free agent market? No need to name names.

02 Sep 2025 17:53:02
I would hope they are!

02 Sep 2025 18:17:35
So would I Feath. Failure to bring in (at least) one of the decent options out there after the end of the window would be heaping folly upon folly.

02 Sep 2025 21:20:28
I haven't heard anything concrete.

02 Sep 2025 22:14:12
Nothing, does not seem to be a likely option.

Seems the (main members on the) board don't trust Farke and others that do, don’t have enough power. So top chiefs disagreeing on management and not wanting to commit to farke transfers coupled with possible inexperience has lead to this.

As I said I don’t personally think it’s been a great window but I think we’ve got a solid experienced side with internationals that should be capable of keeping us up.

03 Sep 2025 08:50:01
If the main Board members don’t trust Farke, why didn’t they just say thank you Daniel but it’s time we all moved on, then bring in someone they believed they could trust.? The Club being stuck in a halfway house in terms of decisions, with half-hearted recruitment isn’t actually helping anyone. Starting off the new season with an under-strength squad puts the Club on a path for likely relegation, with Farke facing the prospect of being labelled a Prem failure again. Getting in a decent playmaker would help any manager, not just Farke, so why didn’t they at least ensure they did that?

I generally try to be positive about our Club’s prospects, and of course I very much hope that the current squad performs above all our expectations. However, unless our medical team can keep DCL, Nmecha and Okafor fit for most of this season, and Farke (or his supposed replacement if we don’t garner the required points in the next month or so) doesn’t unlock some hithertoo unseen creativity within our current squad, we seem likely to be in for a very difficult and ultimately unsuccessful season.

I can’t help thinking that Farke making it clear right at the beginning of preseason that Bamford, Greenwood, Gelhardt and Gyabi weren’t part of his plans and leaving them training separately can’t have helped us to move them on quickly, or for the best PSR outcomes. All in all, no-one within the Club hierarchy seems to have covered themselves in glory during the transfer window.

03 Sep 2025 12:43:10
If that is correct LAD then that is an utterly ludicrous and playground attitude to take. Either back the guy or get someone you do trust because doing what they are is only going to impact the very soul of Leeds, its supporters the club and the city. Also if they think that by doing this they are going to engineer a situation whereby they can say told you so and justify sacking DF they are lower than a slugs nadger.

03 Sep 2025 23:25:49
They tried to get some1 in the summer, but none of their preferred options wanted to come.

So they didn’t have a choice but to stick with farke but unfortunately don’t want to stick with him enough to back him.

01 Sep 2025 20:00:42
Nope. All done. Fulham change their mind at the last minute and nothing for Hamer. That's us done so we will see what happens now for the rest of the season.

01 Sep 2025 20:18:11
Disappointing. Both them players would have helped us especially on set plays.

01 Sep 2025 20:31:15
Fulham changed their mind because we lowballed them?

01 Sep 2025 20:32:58
I'm afriad it seems this lot are just as much of a bunch of chancers as the last lot.
All the talk of spending to the limit. blah, blah, blah.

01 Sep 2025 20:35:24
Strategically poor for the Club to get into an end-of-window position of depending on a deal with a potential bottom-half rival, which had every incentive to string us along then leave us empty handed with no time to look elsewhere.

Given the injuries to Amps and Ao, I’d be more than happy with us bringing in free agent Brownhill, who can play also AM, knows where the net is, has a very decent set piece delivery, and apparently wanted a move to Leeds. He could yet end up going to another Prem team - maybe even back to Burnley - and, if so, would almost certainly have a hand in a goal or two against us that could very well be the difference between us surviving or going down.

01 Sep 2025 22:11:42
Disappointing end to the window…. We are definitely missing that creative player in midfield, it has been evident in the first 3 games.

Time will tell, but this will hinder our chances of staying up. Getting someone in during the Jan window may be too late.

01 Sep 2025 22:39:19
It's most likely that Fulham decided not to let us have Harry Wilson because their move for Tyrique George from Chelsea fell through.

01 Sep 2025 19:41:15
Still a chance for Wilson and Hamer. Deal sheets in allegedly. Will have to wait and see.

01 Sep 2025 19:55:43
Nizaar Kinsella from BBC saying Wilson staying at Fulham.

01 Sep 2025 19:56:44
I’ve heard the sheet went in for Hamer, haven’t heard about Wilson.

01 Sep 2025 19:56:48
Graham smithy claiming no deal sheet for Wilson.

01 Sep 2025 20:07:44
Sources at Fulham say they wanted 10 Leeds would only pay 7 typical Leeds penny pinching.

01 Sep 2025 20:21:26
Last year of his contract but surely a deal could have been struck?
Say 8 mill with add ons if he played x amount of games and we stayed up.
I didn’t expect Marks n Spencer shopping but definitely not Asda!

01 Sep 2025 19:35:56
Alf/ LAD - Does anyone have an idea whether a deal sheet was sent in for Wilson, or has the potential deal now totally collapsed?

01 Sep 2025 19:48:32
Apparently it was submitted but I don't know for sure. SSN saying it was.

01 Sep 2025 15:34:16
Anyone else hearing Harry Wilson?

01 Sep 2025 16:12:42
You know sometimes you take against a certain player and can’t really explain why? For me that’s Harry Wilson!

01 Sep 2025 16:13:10
Yes mate. Scroll down, mentioned the 3 we are after around 10am this morning below,

Think Emi was 1st option then harry with Gus being the last option if other 2 fail.

01 Sep 2025 16:19:47
Hearing it's on and off. So no clue what's going on Chris.
