James Trafford a bargain 23 years old will only get better superb signing

13 Nov 2026 13:58:15
I see we are looking to tie down Nijenko to a new contract . Honestly if I was him I’d move on if given the chance . Farke appears to have little interest in developing youth or playing them at all . It would be a waste of his time .

13 Nov 2026 16:11:58
Indeed Devon I used to follow the Leeds United youth teams avidly for decades

but have stopped doing so under this current regime and current manager following the regrettable sale of England U21 Charlie Cresswell and for a ridiculously undervalued fee

As you correctly state Devon there is little likelihood of youth playing and developing in 1st team under Farke.

Will Lankshear for circa £18M or Kelvin Yeboah for circa £7M or any other option, who would you choose?

12 Nov 2026 23:37:28
Will Lankshear for $18m would be a bargain, I think I will be going $30m plus. Don't know much about the other guy.

13 Nov 2026 00:52:27
The figures quoted are from Transfermarkt, how accurate they are, your guess is as good as mine.

13 Nov 2026 07:29:44
Even at 30m, Lankshear looks a good prospect!

13 Nov 2026 10:02:00
Newcastle quoted £30m apparently.

13 Nov 2026 11:58:37
Think Middlesbrough paid £10m with £10m in add ons. Given his form, I think they are entirely entitled to demand £25m and £10m in add ons. He's gotten better since he went there and he wasn't exactly cheap. He's young and British.

13 Nov 2026 17:49:10
But could we afford that much ????

14 Nov 2026 11:57:02
In the summer I think we could. Not in Jan. A £25m base is absolutely the going rate for a young striker if Delap and Strand Larsen are going for £40m.

If we don't get Europe in some form (which would be very very ambitious this term) , then I'd expect Liverpool, Bayern or Madrid to move for Muha for £80m+. Liverpool have Jacquet but Gomez is out of contract and Van Dijk is also yet to sign a new deal. There are big questions over Leoni given his ACL troubles since signing,and though they envisioned Araujo for cb he's played far more at right back.

We don't want to sell Muha, ofc not but the reality is if he wants to challenge himself in Europe he'll have suitors. If we sell him for £80m+ that covers what we paid for him, covers potential obligations on Bahoya, covers the relatively light option on Bard if we choose to do that, meaning we can quite easily do a replacement cb, a central creative playmaker, and partially fund a striker.

15 Nov 2026 13:31:30
Under SCR Yes we can afford if we want but we would then have less to spend next season. Do we have the capital? Yes absolutely. 9ers have deep pockets and now attracting £150m additional investment as well. If a decent opportunity came up for a player we will definitely go for it on Jan but if players are overpriced then we won't buy.

10 Nov 2026 14:30:34
I’ll tell you what lads, we have brought in some serious talent in defence. Trafford, Tarik and Elvedi are among the best in their positions in the whole league. Bard looked a really good player at the weekend too.
If we stay up this season we need to get similar upgrades in the forward areas during the summer.

11 Nov 2026 02:12:45
Agree Corkey, we have good or very good options right across the back 5, and now need to strengthen further forward. Find us a Hernandez quality AM and a Viduka quality striker, and we'll give any team in the PL a run for it's money.

11 Nov 2026 06:54:43
Yep. Our defence is exceptional. Gonna be hard to keep them all happy. Bijol already sulking and now Rodon back. Likely elvis or Justin will miss out. At least we got injury or sale cover.

11 Nov 2026 06:54:46
Viduka quality and Pablo quality JR ?

Leeds United would very likely win a lot more matches and be a more exciting and better team to watch!

11 Nov 2026 14:42:39
Well, I can dream can't I ?

11 Nov 2026 18:28:04
Pablo prime or Bowyer prime Baz?

11 Nov 2026 19:46:40
Both Pablo prime and Bowyer prime please. if I had to choose one only.Bowyer.

13 Nov 2026 11:59:08
If we do everything, (every clause met, every option taken)

Muharemovic (£34m)
Trafford (£45m)
Elvedi (£8.5m)
Bard (£5m)

It takes us to about £93m. Bard and Muha would have insane profit value, Trafford rn is young and proving very solid in Prem so I'd call him as retaining value. Elvedi's age means we probs wouldn't make much. but i dont want to. on any of them rn.

07 Nov 2026 01:20:53
Now linked with rudoni. Not seen him play yet but what’s he worth? He their highest ranked player. Anybody.

07 Nov 2026 14:56:21
I've been so impressed with him for weeks that I picked him up in my fantasy premier league draft with mates a few weeks ago. Always wants the ball right now. He's in form. Had plenty of good moments even in defeat last night I thought.

Goes in the bracket of id want him at the right price for sure.

08 Nov 2026 08:16:53
We were linked to him a couple of seasons ago but neither us or any other team finalised a deal. He's performed well at Coventry and has reasonable goal and assist stats. Don't think anything will happen until the Summer but he would be a good addition/replacement.

05 Nov 2026 00:28:53
Linked with Elliot again. Not sure about this one as he has been below par for a while now.

05 Nov 2026 09:35:23
I liked him when he was with the scousers, but he had a bad time at Villa through no fault of his own. I thought time at Valencia might be an opportunity for redemption, but since Corberan got the push the new coach doesn't have a place for him. Would be worth a look if the price is right, say £10M max.

05 Nov 2026 15:04:01
I always liked him but he has been off it for a while, as others have said possibly due to lack of game time.
At right price would be interesting but right now not sure he's the answer we need.

04 Nov 2026 17:35:33
Two players im wondering might work for a creative mid role come Jan both with pros and cons.

Conor Gallagher. I saw a clickbait article linking us Everton and villa with him. I think there is a price to be done there. Perhaps a loan with. £20m staying up obligation. He's a good player and more attacking than stach and Ampadu and Tanaka. The less he plays maybe we can get that fee down to £15m but if a bidding war emerges that would be unlikely. Wouldn't go higher than £20m and we might lose out there.

Carlos Alcaraz. Now this is heavily contingent on Everton doing some big incoming business in Jan because their squad is threadbare as it is. But I'm sure they will. I remember Alcaraz being very good at Southampton and early Everton not sure why he's not getting more gametime. He's also out of contract according to transfermarkt, not sure if there's a clause to extend. If farke is still here strikes me as a Buendia at Norwich potential.

Both playmaker types both affordable.

04 Nov 2026 18:17:29
Decent shouts Ealing

Last time we made a transfer fee signing in Jan was 2023 Rutter and Wober.

Just loans since then in January 2024, 25 and 26 most of which Farkey rarely played.

So a loan or nowt in Jan 2027 window ?

Personally, I would prefer a striker signing ( on loan) and revert to playing 2 up front which is more likely to happen with a new more forward thinking, positive coach.

04 Nov 2026 20:16:35
When was Gallagher ever a creative player? Very strange pov. As for 15-20 million not a chance in hell.

05 Nov 2026 09:40:51
Agree Corkey, I liked Gallagher when he was at Palace (and turned us down to stay in London) , but since thenn he's gone backwards, and ain't really what we want.

03 Nov 2026 15:38:35
When ever is the right time to blood youth, i dunno. But given our offensive struggles would it not make sense to bring players like Njinko and Mills into the first team squad scenario. Not saying play them straight away, just begin the transition by giving them matchday experience, otherwise what is the point cultivating young talent? They have to be introduced at some point to develop surely?

03 Nov 2026 15:57:58
Our academy is a waste of space while Farke is in charge.

03 Nov 2026 17:29:18
Yeah JB, he professes to be youth positive, but i am yet to see the evidence! Yet our youth set up is held as an example? I think DF is very loathe to take a risk ehich makes no sense at all, the benefits of producing our very own talent at minimal cost could be huge, just do it! If they never get a chance they will leave and others will think, whats the point, dont go there!

03 Nov 2026 18:56:41
Farke wouldn't even risk calling on a double headed coin!

03 Nov 2026 19:16:03
Feels like peeps previously pro Farke are understandably losing patience with him, his team selections, game management, risk aversion and lack of faith in youth talent.

03 Nov 2026 23:51:34
In fairness Harry Gray was as promising as we had lately and he's not exactly over performing in League 1 so we can't expect them to step upbso I get why he wouldn't take the risk.

03 Nov 2026 12:31:20
You never know Harland may sign for us in January for 60 million end all out problems .

03 Nov 2026 14:06:34
Haaland is the better striker.

03 Nov 2026 19:27:11
January 2033 maybe.
