I'm hearing £20m deal for Meslier and Rodak inbound on a free from Fulham.
A tidy bit of business, if true ??.
1.) 29 Jun 2024 02:39:44
Let’s hope so. I’d take 10 tbh.
2.) 29 Jun 2024 11:48:31
Hope this happens but really don't think it will
Will be absloutely staggered if De Zerbi wants to sign Meslier as his number 1 gk and at £20 million
. maybe as a back up number 2 and if so a fee of £ 5 to 7 million nowhere near £20 million.
3.) 29 Jun 2024 13:27:26
No chance of anyone getting Mez for that price. Zip, zilch, nada, night, zero.
4.) 29 Jun 2024 13:45:51
Brighty. bottom line I doubt there will be any bids for Meslier. certainly guaranteed not at £20 million. and not even at £7 million
He has been generally gash for 2 to 3 seasons.
5.) 29 Jun 2024 16:44:36
Should do the Rodak deal regardless.
6.) 30 Jun 2024 05:28:42
Baz Hologramier still worth in the £14M to £17M bracket despite his faults which can be coached out of him.
7.) 30 Jun 2024 08:05:36
Whoa there cowboy! Absolutely what George said.
05 Jan 2024 22:35:02
Gnonto to Everton seems to be gathering some momentum.
Both teams allegedly been in talks for weeks thrashing out a suitable deal
Loan with an obligation to sign at the end of the season ????.
1.) 06 Jan 2024 07:44:23
Yeah. Just offload. Offers nothing except confusion when he comes on. Poveda better. Free up the wage. Should be able to make a few bob on him. Even with the sell on.
2.) 06 Jan 2024 11:16:22
Not sure Everton would be offering any sort of acceptable fee especially with Leeds having to pay a high proportion to Gnontls previous club .
It would also make SF49ers look weak having refused this just 4 months ago.
3.) 06 Jan 2024 13:14:05
When Everton may yet be charged a second time with falling foul of FFP, I can’t see them getting anything this window, personally.
04 Jan 2024 23:17:17
Latest rumour mill.
A double Burnley raid on the cards for Connor Roberts and Charlie Taylor ??.
1.) 05 Jan 2024 06:46:04
That would be a “start”!
2.) 05 Jan 2024 13:52:49
Roberts is gaining some note in the media alone with Bright osayi Samuel.
02 Nov 2023 17:01:37
If the paper gossip is correct.
Leeds are demanding £30m for Jack Harrison
Take away Man Citeh's 20% sell on clause, we should end up with a decent bit of coin to spend on improvements in January ??.
11 Oct 2023 22:15:27
Phil Hay issues update on two behind-the-scenes Leeds United deals with talks ongoing
Leeds United are looking to extend the association of Nick Hammond and former Celtic Head of Recruitment Gary Penrice.
This would be a cracking bonus if true ????.

Ipswich goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky has left the club following the expiration of his contract
If Meslier is moving on, surely Hladky is worth grabbing on a free.
1.) 03 Jul 2024 14:36:35
Wouldn’t mind signing that Turkish goalkeeper from last nights game, did most things extremely well and boy could he ping a long ball!
2.) 03 Jul 2024 12:37:52
Disappointingly though. no club is willing to pay a transfer fee for Mes .

Off subject but with a Leeds United flavour
3 countries in the quarter finals of the current Copa America have ex Leeds United managers
Bielsa. Uruguay
Brenty. Canada
And
TC . Paraguay.
5.) 03 Jul 2024 15:15:55
. correction
TC Panama.
6.) 03 Jul 2024 15:31:36
So good, I agreed with it twice, Class!
7.) 03 Jul 2024 17:16:07
Not why this happens bright ? had a hatrick before now but he looks a beast of a keeper although he is 34.
8.) 03 Jul 2024 19:16:25
My memory maybe blurred with alcohol consumption over the last 6 years but do we think TC had a fair crack at the whip?
9.) 03 Jul 2024 20:55:15
TC perhaps didn't get enough of a chance to improve on a mid season slump
Right decision though to sack him
Bielsa arrived 4 months later .
10.) 04 Jul 2024 07:27:22
Well that’s true baz ?.
11.) 04 Jul 2024 08:19:39
TC didn’t get a fair crack of the whip, and did have some awful players to work with at the time. But I’d sack him another ten times to make sure we got Marcelo, who I would have back at the club tomorrow. Alternatively, if he can win the Copa, perhaps he can leave Uruguay, and take over for England, and utilise all of the attacking players we have, properly!?
12.) 04 Jul 2024 11:29:07
Back to the subject, Farke rates Meslier very highly and has praised him on several occasions last season.
I don’t think it’s the same sentiment with the coaching staff to replace Meslier. Bielsa appeared to be happy with his presence between the sticks also.
I do agree that he does need better quality back up to keep Mez focused and in the event of a long term injury to him, Darlow is not an adequate replacement but Klaesson may have what it takes for back up?
13.) 04 Jul 2024 13:10:09
For starters the goalkeeping save per shot stats
and goals conceded per shot stats of Meslier makes one shudder.
Seriously misguided by DF and OP.
14.) 04 Jul 2024 15:14:09
I’m sure you will be able to furnish us with those correct and honest stats Baz?
It’s very unlikely that we would have finished with 90 points which normally would mean promotion with a very poor keeper!
I think all this just suits your eternal miserable outlook of Leeds Utd and that you prefer to moan than have anything remotely positive to post.
15.) 04 Jul 2024 15:29:20
Sorry OP but peeps who rate Mes seriously misguided.
Check out the stats yourself.
30 Jun 2024 09:35:59
Well, the Archie Gray saga rumbles on.
This morning's headlines, Leeds reject £40m offer from Brentford
Standby for the big fish to take a nibble.
31 May 2024 17:38:28
We all thought Leeds were in a mess during last summer.
On promotion, Sheff United signed Cameron Archer from Villa for £18m, with a hidden clause allowing Villa to buy him back for £14m if Sheff United are relegated, absolutely priceless
How wonky was that deal to beat FFP regulations ????
However, Archer would be a massive upgrade for us if Leeds fancy taking a punt.
1.) 31 May 2024 19:56:34
Archer would be great for us.
2.) 31 May 2024 21:18:46
Strong, quick and can actually score.
He'd be a menace for us.
3.) 01 Jun 2024 15:14:42
How many goals did he score Leeroy? 4 goals from 29 or 30 league games
One assist. 18 million. Scandalous. so go get chair if he’s available, and possibly the lad o’hare from Coventry . Sick fed up of “holding “ midfielders that want an easy life and have no intention or desire, more to the point, in ever trying to score or assist. Then we might see some goals we have been needing apart from relying on the forwards all the time. Good shout from Dill about Luke Thomas. All for him coming to the club, if possible. Said it until I’m blue in the face firpo isn’t a left back. And I don’t think Archie will be going anywhere.
4.) 01 Jun 2024 16:15:10
Good post C&J. Archer probably good for Champo but not EPL it seems. Vile don't rate him that much
As for Leeds zero goals and zero creativity midfield of Gray, Ampadu, Gruev and Kamara.
Our midfield vitally needs creative goal scoring reinforcements.
And not bothered if both underwhelming Gruev and Kamara are off loaded . not a scooby doo fu man chu that midfield gets Leeds United promoted!
Midfield needs addressing first and foremost. followed by GK, defence and CF.
5.) 01 Jun 2024 18:16:52
Look at his previous goals etc for Middlesbrough
Yes, that's Championship level but he had a cracking half season with Middlesbrough
I'm sure Daniel Farke would help to improve his game, look at Dan James and his improvement
Ethan Ampadu another example of how a seemingly poor player can improve when coached and in the right team
By Heck, also look at the managers Archer played under last season.
6.) 01 Jun 2024 18:18:21
Slight correction Baz.
Gruev scored v Norwich ????
But I do get your gist.
7.) 01 Jun 2024 18:44:31
Crsck open the champagne ? Leeroy pal lol ?
Trumpet fanfare
And hence forth commission mass production of " Leeds United midfield scored a goal shocker 'Alfie Cuppa style mugs?.
8.) 01 Jun 2024 19:25:12
Ampadu has never been a poor player, Leroy ?♂️ always technically sound, but given Chelsea's vast and repetitive mismanagement of young players, he was never going to get a chance there. Has always shown his ability while on loan, barring his Leipzig stint, where he didn't really get much game time. Everywhere else he was a regular starter and often one of the clubs better performers.
29 May 2024 10:48:40
A quick question for all, I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
At the beginning of the season, I mentioned how good it was to see so many different goal scorers within the team!
However, as the season dragged on we only really had the regular 3/ 4 names scoring ????
What actually changed?
1.) 29 May 2024 11:14:50
You were wrong as was Ani
Other posters said there was not enough goalscoring players in team . and proved correct.
2.) 29 May 2024 11:36:25
My concern is lack of movement on and off the ball, we seem to be sometimes to slow on the counter, Rutters form dropping off was a big problem for us and the lack of options off the bench.
Lack of goals from set pieces a big problem as well, especially when strujk got injured.
We seem to only have one route to goal.
Despite many issues and problems in the team we still got 90 points. We still got to play off final, for me we exceeded pre season expectations.
Farke has to address some issues next season, there no doubt about it.
3.) 29 May 2024 12:23:13
Hahahaha! It’s laughable, isn't it! ?????
Yep Leeroy, there did seem to be sufficient variety of scorers, and scoring potential. You would normally expect a couple each from the likes of the CB pairing, and maybe from the DF pairing, and Bill normally contributed 3 or 4 as well from RB.
In answer to the 'actual question':
1. Rodon has a 50 pence head akin to Dubes.
2. Archie was playing out of position, so probably told to concentrate on defensive duties.
3. Amps notched, but in the cup rather than League.
4. Gruev and Kamara, I dare say we’re told to present opportunities to the more goal centric players and focus on defence protection
5. the CF position was a big issue in our final goals scored tally, which in a perfect world would have been closer to the 90 mark.
81 goals scored, gd +38 would suggest no problem in the scheme of things tho.
A high scoring CF would have prevented the glare now being shone on non scoring players by a clear minority of “followers”.
4.) 29 May 2024 12:40:49
Not in the early stages Baz.
You even agreed with me back in October time!
5.) 29 May 2024 13:00:42
No Leeroy
Right after transger window closed end of August I stated on here several times it would be an issue
Ipswich had goalscorers in all positions plus many goals from their subs.
Leeds scored only a few from their subs.
Ipswich are in EPL . Leeds aren't . end of.
6.) 29 May 2024 13:03:47
Looking at our early season championship results.
We had Piroe, Summerville, Gnonto and James scoring, along with goals from Gruev/ Anthony/ Byram/ Cooper/ Ayling and Struijk
The replacements obviously weren't as good as who we already had ??.
7.) 29 May 2024 13:10:29
Spot on Brighty. 98 goals suggests we were ok in that dept. We played with 4 up front and it was their responsibility to score in the system we played. Some people just don't have any idea how tactics and a system work ?.
8.) 29 May 2024 13:23:38
All 3 teams promoted scored more than Leeds in league Cuppa .
9.) 29 May 2024 14:24:01
And our goal difference was second best, so your point is moot Baz.
10.) 29 May 2024 14:46:01
In our most important game of the season with the exception of Dan James not one Leeds player looked like scoring.
Scoring goals in quite a few games became an issue for Leeds esp back end of season . without question
Leeds were over reliant on certain players to score with too many others in team/ squad NOT chipping in with vital goal (s)
. its definitely a significant reason Leeds remain in Champo.
11.) 29 May 2024 16:02:28
Not going to argue with that Baz. As I’ve stated elsewhere, that situation looked all the more glaring without a confident and effective 9 getting 20+ goals this season.
12.) 30 May 2024 14:40:53
The problems we had were related to breaking teams down - not because we didn't have goal scorers. We didn't make enough chances in certain games including the final.
27 May 2024 12:02:37
Currently sat in London's Classic Football Shirts Shop before we catch the train home.
Big screen TV, with Leeds Champions League games back in OLeary days ??.
1.) 27 May 2024 13:10:08
Uber enjoyable DOL era Leeroy. exciting great football style against the cream of Europe
Enjoy fella!
2.) 27 May 2024 13:26:29
Them were the days eh
Out performing everybodies expectations.
3.) 27 May 2024 14:21:28
Indeed Aus 100%.
4.) 27 May 2024 14:34:13
I'm sure all of us old enough to remember those days/ nights enjoyed them ??.
11 Jul 2024 20:43:13
Kamara can go for me.
For all his good, I also saw plenty of bad.
01 Jul 2024 13:09:24
I'm hearing the same Corky.
29 Jun 2024 22:56:17
You might just get your wish Baz.
If the rumbles from LS are correct, Daniel Farke is feeling undermined and talk of him walking.
29 Jun 2024 17:28:11
I've heard the same Mighty.
Personal terms already agreed too
I wonder what the Gray's think about the move ??
Also, is selling AG so that Summerville stays ??.
29 Jun 2024 16:58:41
Latest rumour, Archie Gray is on his way to Brentford.
Surely not ??.
11 Jul 2024 20:42:01
I agree Mighty.
Talk about a stealth loan signing, If this is the way the 49ers business is going to be done
Fair play and we'll done ??.
11 Jul 2024 18:27:08
Joe Rothwell is supposedly in Leeds for a medical, prior to a season long loan
There's 1 midfielder in and to be fair, he's not a bad player.
04 Jul 2024 13:40:51
Hladky is available, released by Ipswich.
01 Jul 2024 16:52:22
The old regime would have sold Archie Gray for £10m, then paid £40m for Joe Rodon.
With Victor Orta high fiving Angus Kinnear ??.
30 Jun 2024 14:36:43
Spurs and Leeds hierarchy currently negotiating a deal for Archie Gray.
Leeds want Rodon and Skipp plus cash, let's see what happens peeps.
