Saying we have offered 39 for Larsen. Bloody hope not. If we pay that I will want a 20+ striker.
1.) 26 Jan 2026 06:58:15
Aus, I’d tend to agree but given the ridiculous prices of an average player these days £40m get you maybe a 10-15 goal striker.
20-25 goals is in that next bracket of say 60-100m and even that doesn’t guarantee that goal tally.
It’s crazy and ruining the game.
Look at Man City, spent over £400m since the start of last January and Pep recons he needs £200m more to get them back on top!
That’s the problem.
2.) 26 Jan 2026 07:36:26
Agree Aus.
3.) 26 Jan 2026 09:15:40
A 20+ Prem striker costs about £70m these days, it's not 2008 anymore.
4.) 26 Jan 2026 09:47:14
Yeah I know Dave. Top 6 and other pretenders willing to buy multiple players at over 60 mill each. None gone for Larsen though.
5.) 26 Jan 2026 11:10:34
DCL and Nmecha were free and DCL (last I checked) topped the charts for most goals for a signing this year.
By those standards, JSL needs to win the golden boot.
6.) 26 Jan 2026 11:44:21
Alongside DCL, maybe he could Mo?
7.) 26 Jan 2026 12:44:26
Big bar stewards FC would be a laugh with the triple barrels up front and the speedsters of BA/ FB behind.
8.) 26 Jan 2026 17:24:19
Strikers only score 20 plus a season if they're in top six teams. I know a quality striker will part of the reason the team ends being top six, but my point is, if Haaland, Kane, Salah, the Newcastle version of Isak et al were playing for us or one of the teams around us they wouldn't be scoring anything like the amounts they do for the clubs they play for.
They would improve us for sure but a 25 goal striker at say Arsenal would maybe get 15 for us. So we can't sensibly expect 25 goals a season from JSL or anyone else just by adding him. to our squad. I genuinely think if DCL had been. at Arsenal this season he'd be in the running for the golden boot. I hope Arteta doesn't visit thos site.
9.) 26 Jan 2026 18:47:54
In Leeds’ top flight history only 3 players have score 20 goals (league) , these were Charles, Chapman and Viduka. Demanding a 20-goal striker for £30-40m is just stupidity. Whilst some players have done so multiple times (Shearer, Kane et al) there occasions are relatively low compared to the number of opportunities there have been.
There needs to be a serious reality check when making demands of managers/ owners when making signings. Is JSL the absolute best striker about, no he isn’t. Is he bloody good, solid and a premier league standard player; heck yes.
10.) 26 Jan 2026 18:56:56
Aus, they did! Newcastle offered £55m for him in the summer, it was rejected by Wolves and Newcastle turned to Waldermader instead.
11.) 26 Jan 2026 22:07:01
In my first season watching Leeds, John Charles scored 38 goals, for a 46 game season. Now there was a player who really deserved the accolade "great".
12.) 26 Jan 2026 23:07:51
Sell tanaka, buy JSL and another defender.
13.) 27 Jan 2026 12:32:01
Doesn’t this JSL debacle sound eerily like the summer Paxiou pursuit, focus all eggs on one player to whet the fans appetite only to only lose out at the last minute to another team! We tried! If as said we are only 1 million short on our offer why not just pay the million and get it done, or do we wait for Palace to get involved and say he wanted to go to Palace! Smoke and mirrors, I’d love to be wrong .
14.) 27 Jan 2026 13:19:56
All a show to them. As proved in summer. Throw so many players in the mix and then can’t be blamed for missing out.
Nobody else wants this guy now. No way they should be offering more than 25. What’s the point.
15.) 27 Jan 2026 14:19:28
Its flabbergasting how little understanding of our current situation, the modern game or the way clubs work is being shown by some of the comments here.
words fail me!
16.) 27 Jan 2026 15:23:40
I have a very good understanding of how the modern game works, I have not much of an understanding of how our club works, except going off recent transfer showing ins, spent the whole summer telling us they were pursuing Paxiou only to lose out to Marseille, surely you don’t have to be Einstein to work out he’s was never coming to Leeds, so just saying it’s screams of wool pulling over eyes .
All of our summer incomings from what I can remember, correct me if I’m wrong were announced namely out of the blue, then concluded quite quickly! None dragged on he whole window, I’ll bow to your superior knowledge if you can correct me! West Ham for example name Castellana after we Namecheck him and sign 2 strikers within a couple weeks of announcing interest, as informed by a trusted colleague of mine, why does Leeds business sometimes complete early and others take so long, namely when they don’t happen at all!
17.) 27 Jan 2026 17:21:57
The club ain't claimed interest in anyone this window. It's the media.
Agree Alf. Some of the demands in here defy logic.
18.) 27 Jan 2026 18:39:48
So no bid has been made and refused for JSL, it’s just been made up by the media, that makes sense!
19.) 27 Jan 2026 23:24:04
Raggity, how does the media know we’ve bid on JSL? because someone told them? (if true) (in this case it’s true) and who gains by letting the media know they’ve bid but not at asking price? Who gains by adding pressure to the situation? Who possibly gets more money if more suitors are interested? So it’s clearly isn’t Leeds united leaking this to the press, and if it’s Wolves doing it then do you think it’s as simple as adding a few million onto our offer and clicking submit?
It’s not fifa or football manager where you click a few buttons and you have a new player.
20.) 28 Jan 2026 07:17:25
There is multiple devices for communication as it’s 2026! if Wolves have leaked the offer to the press to invite other interested parties, whom they haven’t revealed yet it’s hardly rocket science or a new concept? By evidence our tpeople have encountered how transfers work and how to get them done! Or am I mistaken? Has the concept changed in the last few months? If PSR is a problem why attempt to do a deal? Do they think Wolves will give him to us out of pity?
21.) 28 Jan 2026 07:40:22
To answer your question: you are mistaken.
22.) 28 Jan 2026 07:41:05
Don’t be mistaken I would love us to purchase JSL or any striker that could add a few goals to help us stay up . I just feel it’s a recurring theme near transfer windows nearing conclusion . A lot of speculation n, not much action, not just with the current owners, but the past ones also .
I really hope this time around something materialises . My opinion is with so much at stake we can’t gamble on what we have, as injuries may happen and we will be left short!
23.) 28 Jan 2026 08:20:14
We have to be careful not to overspend and refuse to get drawn into a bidding war. 9ers are walking the thin line between ambition and being sensible. We also have to realise where we are in the football pyramid. Paxiou chose Marseille due to their UCL status and I think links to his family (although might be wrong on latter point) . At the end of the day we can only make offers but it's down to other clubs and the players themselves to make the final decision. For the teams it makes sense to wait and see if they need to sell at all or can make more money so why would they make a decision early? One way around it is to offer silly money to force an early decision like teams such as Chelski and Citeh do but we are not in a position to make those kinds of offers or take such huge financial risks (due to PSR - not because we don't have funds) .
Therefore we are in the position we are in. The interest in JSL is real but Wolves are in no hurry to sell with plenty of time left in the window.
24.) 28 Jan 2026 08:27:09
Also the idea that the club only work on one deal at a time is laughable. We make 100s of enquiries and explore many deals in a typical window simultaneously (as do all clubs) but we do have to wait on priorities if we have a preference as we can't sign everyone. What we, as fans, see is only the top of the iceberg made up largely of rumours and leaks or even just guesstimates in some outlets.
I get the frustration but just because we can't see clearly what is happening doesn't mean that there isn't anything happening. Look at the deal for FB. I didn't see or hear a single rumour about that until minutes before it was announced and yet it happened. How long were the club working on it? Who knows - certainly not us.
25.) 28 Jan 2026 10:55:03
I agree Alf, but this is a rumour site where us fans respond to rumours! If we was all in the know there would be no need for this site or any need to comment.
26.) 28 Jan 2026 13:01:10
Your comment about the club making things up as a method of pulling the wool over fans eyes is bang wrong though Raggity - that's my point.
27.) 28 Jan 2026 14:03:20
That’s your opinion Alf and I’ll stand by mine .
21 Jan 2026 00:13:01
Schmidt rumour back on according to fabio.
1.) 21 Jan 2026 10:38:43
Can he be trusted or is he talking Schmid?
12 Jan 2026 08:18:42
Rumours are a medical has been booked? Any news fellas? Is it doe?
1.) 12 Jan 2026 12:05:00
i haven't heard anything - where do these rumours come from?
2.) 12 Jan 2026 12:28:47
I read that Berlin have a medical booked, likely for DDs replacement but nothing our end.
3.) 12 Jan 2026 13:55:09
Thomas Farke told me but not sure about his intel.
4.) 13 Jan 2026 06:35:10
Who is Thomas Farke?
06 Jan 2026 23:33:42
The longer we don’t buy or sell the more obvious it is we ain’t got the dosh.
Hope to be proved wrong by actually buying someone. Hate this linked crap.
1.) 07 Jan 2026 06:34:31
Think we have plenty of dosh for selling whoever we ain't, no? The question is more whether we need to sell, to buy, no? Patience.
2.) 07 Jan 2026 06:40:50
Bit odd to be a regular on a site whose primary purpose is to learn about links if you hate them.
3.) 07 Jan 2026 06:44:57
Good point Alf. It’s the banter that attracts me not the links.
4.) 07 Jan 2026 09:17:40
Farke has said no news until after Derby, we are too busy to look at it before then.
We have plenty of time to sign players.
For all the flack I've given 49ers, they're pretty good owners TBF. I trust them after summer as their signings were spot on.
Special mention to the steal that is GG, who seems as Leeds as they come.
5.) 07 Jan 2026 12:14:57
I imagine players would be identified before the window has opened? I can’t imagine the window opens and we are like oh right let’s now have a look .
6.) 07 Jan 2026 13:23:19
Bet underwood doesn’t even know it’s open yet.
7.) 07 Jan 2026 17:23:06
couple of points on the above.
1. we have got a lot of targets that have been identified longer term but we have a flexible approach and the players we actually get will depend on what we think is the right direction at the time of the window. The recent changes from Citeh onward will have changed our priorities.
2. Underwood is not the one identifying targets or certainly not alone. we are using a data driven model so primarily its the underlying data that helps us decide which players to bring in. Underwood just does as he is told.
8.) 07 Jan 2026 17:48:18
Underwood is an embarrassment.
9.) 07 Jan 2026 19:53:13
We only have "plenty of time to sign players" as long as the players we want to sign haven't been snapped up by someone else whilst we're still thinking about it. Castellanos was suggested but now he's signed for Spam, Dovbyk has been rumoured but Sunderland are allegedly sniffing round him too.
Wait too long and the only ones available are the ones no one else wants, and if our competitors don't want them, neither do we.
10.) 08 Jan 2026 13:21:58
For all of the negativity we had in the summer about the window, which player hasn't improved the team?
Perri is a disaster but I think he can come good.
Okafor needs a bit more time to bed in.
The rest have been excellent and have held off opponents ten times their value.
The recruitment in summer was indeed 8/ 10.
11.) 08 Jan 2026 14:51:23
Agree with everything there Mo, with the exception of Perri, who seems to be attracting all the negativity and responsibility for everything remotely bad.
He realistically had no chance with any of those goals last night, and I'd challenge any GK in the world to catch a ball cleanly with 8 players jostling around the catch zone! Newcastle's crosses and corners were exceptional last night.
The Man U goal was a 50-50 call, and he made the wrong decision; a lot of other keepers would've done the same.
Clearly bud, those comments are for everyone currently on the bloke's case, not just you! ??.
12.) 09 Jan 2026 07:23:22
He should have clattered into the players to catch the ball. That’s what goalkeepers do. Well most of them. He dived before the pen was hit so. Yeah coulda done better. He was lucky first goal was ruled out cause obviously had a girly grip on the ball cause the Newcastle player hardly touched it. Plus Man U goal. Adding up.
13.) 09 Jan 2026 17:08:48
Running like a prop thro a crowd of players, full rugby style, would achieve zero Aus, and certainly not end with him catching the ball.
Complaining about a penalty, when the taker is staggering his run is futile.
The Man U goal? 50:50 decision.
So far, you've added up half a point and nowt more.
14.) 13 Jan 2026 05:02:44
It sends a message bright ( stand in my way and you will get clattered ) and could result in catching the ball.
No 50-50 with utd goal. He had two choices. Get the ball or stay on your line. He did neither.
30 Dec 2025 01:15:10
Chelsea defender axel on our radar apparently. Hasn’t played much?

The slightest misfortune will affect the balance and effectiveness of the team. Lose dcl and start namecheck or piroe. Dcl may not be my most favourite player and is once again simply posing as a striker cause he ain’t scoring. But he has proven when he is in the mood he can score. The other two haven’t at this level. Get an injury or suspension to a cb or left back and we have players to cover but that would mean playing them in their lesser preferred position.
Again causing unbalance.
The gamble taken is that none of the above will happen and what we got is enough and good enough.
Time will tell. If it does we can add quality in summer there. If it doesn’t it will set us back a couple of years.
Can’t see Bijol gabby stach Longstaff ba Bogle gruev so amps Okafor being happy in champ.
1.) 03 Feb 2026 07:21:33
Palace no win in 12, spuds 3 points from 5, a win on Friday and it all looks very different. I would rather be Leeds than any of the other 4. Keep singing and get behind the lads on the pitch.
2.) 03 Feb 2026 07:55:06
Aus, DCL scored more when he has Nmecha next to him. They improve one another.
And saying Nmecha hasn't proven himself is mad when he sits mid table for goals scored this season even with his relatively low game time.
Put down the Fosters, Bruce. It's impairing your vision.
3.) 03 Feb 2026 13:23:15
What about a loss Friday matta. All rosey. U state facts with others and then make up ours lol. Funny.
Currently 38th on prem scoring stats. I’d start him mot.
4.) 03 Feb 2026 17:13:15
Don't upset him MOT he will be calling you a tool. he's got to post every day like the 2 what was banned off the site!
5.) 03 Feb 2026 18:38:26
Everyone has options just like the others can’t see why some think it’s wrong to post keep them coming mate,
03 Feb 2026 03:15:33
As Cheshire pointed out further down. We just have to stay above west ham. I can only see them getting another 16 points. We should at least get 15 so should be fine.
The only caveat to that is Farke. A few on here have alluded to isolating dcl and reverting to tippy tappy, as well as the poor subs and timing.
These all seem to be creeping back.
The team have shown given the right starting 11 and tactics they can perform at a mid table level. Let’s hope they return to that form immediately.
1.) 03 Feb 2026 19:58:54
We play all the 6 teams around the relegation zone before the end of the season and we're not in it at the moment so our fate is in our own hands. We have three at home and three away. We pick up 12 points from those 6 matches and I think we are safe. We have to compete with those at the bottom and pick up the scraps from the top half in the other matches which we are capable of doing.
The nightmare is to get to the last match and it's a £100m play off with the ?'s. Just keep playing 3/ 5/ 2 and trust that the system will work. It's been our most successful formation by far.
02 Feb 2026 03:19:22
Whilst bouc is a good player I am amazed that that might be all we get.
Need three in today which I will be surprised if we do.
Very threadbare. I’m not convinced we have enough to survive.
1.) 02 Feb 2026 07:59:49
I agree Aus.
I think the 49's have again lied about their desire to create a team capable of competing, I sincerely hope I am wrong, but their history of doing things on a shoestring tells me otherwise.
They gambled on going up last year on a shoestring, and they are gambling EPL survival on a shoestring.
If they fail to bring in the cover we all know we desperately need to survive, then, like after the summer transfer window, I want them out, because as Paraag said himself, he negotiates these deals in his sleep, which can only mean they are not negotiating any deals, or we would have the players we want.
2.) 02 Feb 2026 08:47:16
Midfield. Super computer is now predicting we will be 4 from bottom, Trust in then not believe in nothing they say, you won’t go far wrong, as we all know it’s a money game .
3.) 02 Feb 2026 09:17:17
The deal negotiation stage comes after a club has accepted the offer. Paraag is a contract expert more than anything else.
4.) 02 Feb 2026 16:13:58
Oh MG. honestly what tosh!
Do you really think the the 49's [read that as dozens of folks investing their own money] are not doing everything in their power to protect their investment.
If we are not buying someone, it's because there is no one, they can't afford those they want or they think they don't need someone.
re Shoestring, never in our history, have we spent so much money as in the last 3-4 years. Just because we can't spend like City / Liverpool, doesn't mean the club is not spending as much as it can / afford. It's only 12 months ago, folks were moaning we couldn't spend as much as Norwich.
We spent like crazy in the season trying to survive last time and we all saw how well that worked - we are still feeling the ramifications now.
January is always a waste of money; the only players generally available are those not playing elsewhere or those whose contract is expiring and clubs are cashing in.
We are not an attractive proposition for those players in these circumstances. Who wants to sign a 4 year deal to be battling at the wrong end of the table, when higher pay, European football and trophy prospects are abound elsewhere.
5.) 02 Feb 2026 17:33:04
I think whether you bring in players or not in this transfer window it all a gamble anyways.
Bringing in new players, especially in the January transfer window guarantees absolutely nothing.
If it’s just about making up the numbers you are wasting your time and money as a club.
I believe the club made all their correct decisions in the summer bar an attacking midfielder, we’ve got one now in Bounanotte.
What more do you want?
31 Jan 2026 16:45:50
Thought the same. Piroe def going to score 4 in last 10 min. Farke out.
Just appalling.
**** off farke.
1.) 31 Jan 2026 17:01:16
Farke out. Useless
Worst performance I’ve seen this season.
Farke out. Dcl out. You paid to score moron. Earn your keep.
Get rid of all gk
And what were the subs.
Out played. Big time.
Out managed. Again again again again again.
Sack him now.
2.) 31 Jan 2026 17:04:08
Was Darlow’s error Farke’s fault?

31 Jan 2026 15:51:21
Absolute rubbish. Thanks for that. Garbage.
Farke out. There you go. Farke useless tactician. Rides his luck. Get rid of
And why u out it. Take dickhead dcl with him. Striker. Don’t make me laugh.
And. Finally.
Leeds look absolutely no idea of signing a goalkeeper that knows how to catch a ball. So sell the lot too.
Useless.

You mean Farke understands tactics and change in formation lol.
No saley. He Dosent. No need to wonder mate.

Gotta feel for the guy. Never get to play for Leeds again. Rich bastard though.

Interesting Alf. Take Trafford. Not sure we need Wilson and I don’t think he’d come to us anyhow.
