Bayern interested in Gary for 60 mill. Not enough. Don't sell.
1.) 08 Oct 2026 00:41:51
At this time, don't sell for £160M.
2.) 08 Oct 2026 01:26:40
Spose that's what a majority of mid table clubs have to do. Sell to improve. 80 would get us a good replacement and decent striker.
3.) 08 Oct 2026 14:06:46
I'd take 80.
4.) 08 Oct 2026 14:08:48
Agree with Aus - if we have the chance to double our money I think we would take it.
5.) 08 Oct 2026 15:10:28
Have the replacement lined up and confirmed before we sell him, and indeed two or three others. Don't want other clubs knowing we would be flush. They can speculate we might be but if we buy after selling they'd know it.
£80m would be a good price. £100m if its a Prem team. You don't 'want' to sell these players but if we do it means we've had a terrific season and that player's had a good season.
£80m buys a replacement, buys the replacement/upgrade on Nmecha. Maybe a little change.
6.) 08 Oct 2026 20:51:33
In the long term we don't want to be a selling club but at the moment we have to take a pragmatic view until we get fully established in the Premier League.
We have a fairly solid defence but if we get an enormous fee for Gary all the previous posters are right that we can get a good replacement and a good striker and maybe have a bit left over to improve our squad ratio figures.
I'd be sorry to see him go but think that JR, Elvedi, etc can step up.
7.) 09 Oct 2026 20:13:27
I said above, "at this time, don't sell for £160M", the crucial words there being "at this time" meaning the next window in January. If at the end of the season we get an offer of say £70M+, then that's different, but NOT mid season.
8.) 10 Oct 2026 11:17:27
I don't know. £160m is obviously hyperbole. But if its a case of getting over £100m (which would be a record for a defender) in Jan vs. £80m in the summer. I think I'd do it provided
We weren't in a title challenge (wishful thinking) . Weren't realistically going to make Champions League. Didn't have an outrageous injury problem at the back. Weren't in relegation, and so far away from it selling our best defender couldn't see us getting dragged into it.
The January market is notorious for desperate buyers and inflated prices. If we were stable enough to sell safely in line with inflated prices then I'd do it. Im not automatically against selling in Jan subject to the conditions above, but the price would reflect its Jan.
9.) 11 Oct 2026 00:34:03
Yes mpy £160M comment was just hyperbole, but if we didn't have an injury problem at the back in January, or weren't at risk of being drawn into a relegation dogfight, that wouldn't mean that either of those things couldn't happen in Feb after the window had closed and there were still 15 games to play. I repeat I would not willingly sell at that time at any price.
The only circumstances that would make me sell would be if the players head had been turned by an offer, and he was throwing his toys out of the pram at it being refused, and even then I'd demand a humungous price. Summer window when the season is over, different.
11 Sep 2026 02:13:16
Says we interested in Julian Hall. Decent stats for a youngun. Bit of competition though.
1.) 11 Sep 2026 16:40:17
We've got one of our own to keep an eye on, and it's not Harry Gray. He's a winger called Carrick Njinko. He'll hit 18 next Tuesday (Sep 15) and was named PL2 player of the month for August. He scored four goals and three assists for the Under-18s, then went to the Under-21s, and got four goals in nine games, including a hat trick against West Brom U21s.
One for the future, as long as we manage to hold on to him.
14 Aug 2026 03:34:32
Anybody know if we have any interest in
Piroe?
Gnonto?
James?
AO?
1.) 14 Aug 2026 08:43:41
James has some interest, but his over-inflated wages are an issue. Can see Gnonto staying. Piroe has interest, but wants to stay. Not heard anything about AO.
2.) 14 Aug 2026 08:53:34
Mat may or may not be interested.
But, said it at the beginning of the summer window.. imo no chance DJ is leaving Leeds this window due to wages, and Piroe is very likely going to stay to see out his last year of contract.
Looks like Gnonto and AO may well stay now.
Just 19 days of the window remain. Not very long at all.
3.) 14 Aug 2026 09:21:06
Don't get Piroe.
He clearly ain't gonna play unless we have heaps of interest.
Gnonto could probably do a job next season.
Shame about DJ wages and AO as both are surplus.
4.) 14 Aug 2026 11:16:27
It was always on the cards that Piroe was going to stay and see out his contract. Given his age, he'll get a good signing on fee when he leaves.
But, agree with Aus. He isn't going to play, so maybe we just bite the bullet and send him out on loan for a fee and wages paid.
He'd do a good job in the Championship and would maintain his fitness and sharpness at that level. Burnley would be a good destination and it might help our case if we're really interested in Fleming. We'd gain and Burnley wouldn't lose out.
5.) 14 Aug 2026 12:41:43
I think we can be a little more bullish on Piroe.
The issue isn't that there isn't interest, more that he wanted to stay. If Farke is playing realist with him and communicating that he won't get more minutes than last season, his view on leaving or staying might change.
Agree, try and use him as a makeweight with Flemming. £9m and Piroe.
6.) 14 Aug 2026 13:47:35
Farke was pretty clear in the Salzburg friendly when he said that Piroe didn't get on as he is behind all our other strikers in the packing order. He won't go on loan either, so we are stuck. That's the issue with contracts. Unless an opportunity comes that interests him, we can't make him leave.
7.) 14 Aug 2026 15:10:35
The fact that Piroe wants to stay when he's clearly not getting any minutes & probably less than last season, speaks volumes of his own lack of ambition.
He will run down his contract then go to some mid table Championship side like Stoke or West Ham!
8.) 14 Aug 2026 20:57:04
Piroe is definitely leaving this window. No way he's gonna sit on the bench another season.
9.) 15 Aug 2026 04:22:54
Piroe and Gnonto will both go.
Neither has a position going forward.
Ao is similar to Bornauw in that he wants to start and may not be happy as the window closes.
James will stay.
29 Jul 2026 09:36:21
West Ham considering Large. Don’t want to lose Large but West Ham got a chunk of money in the coffers, so 50 would sweeten the deal.
1.) 29 Jul 2026 10:58:25
Would definitely sell for right price. Farke clearly doesn't trust him, so move him on and reinvest.
2.) 29 Jul 2026 11:03:48
50? What, Aus? £50M, no chance!
3.) 29 Jul 2026 11:54:44
I'm thinking £15 to £20m max is what we can expect for Ramazani.
It'll probably end up being nearer £10m.
4.) 29 Jul 2026 11:56:39
Okafor only manages 60 mins (generally) , so a good left sided midfielder is required (been using Nmeca as first change) . Farke clearly won't use Large, so loan or sale is required. It's not always about the fee, but the reduction in wages to fuel acquisitions. Get him gone for a couple of mill to give the player certainty over his future..
5.) 29 Jul 2026 13:38:28
Yeah, West Ham sign Largie for a paltry £12 million and sell him in 2 seasons for £40 million.
Leeds should keep Largie. The guy has serious talent, threat and goalscoring instinct.
6.) 29 Jul 2026 13:40:36
I'm not saying he is worth 50. I'm saying spam can afford 50. And, if Somerville is worth whatever it was, Large is worth 50. I'd take Large over Somerville any day.
7.) 29 Jul 2026 14:18:20
£5m & Mavropanos...
8.) 29 Jul 2026 14:37:57
Okafor needs to be moved on if he cannot increase his match minutes. A strategy cannot be based on a pre-match substitution for him every game at 60 mins, and he'll be a bench warmer, not a starter. He has a bit of quality, but is very hit and miss.
21 Jul 2026 05:47:49
Looking at 6 ft 9 goalie Scherpen. At least targeting important positions now. Worry about defenders and midfielders later.
1.) 21 Jul 2026 08:33:17
Being linked with a few, but Scheperen is already in talks with Ipswich, and they have signed Oevelen as back up. Tzolakis linked with us, but it looks like he's off to Hull. Suzuki seemingly is interested, but the price quoted is around £26m.
There'll be others, but it's slow progress.
Disagreement with Torino re Perri, who wants an option to buy, but we're insisting on an obligation. On past performance on loans, I expect us to give in.
2.) 21 Jul 2026 09:51:23
So just 41 days remaining of the window. Not long at all now, especially given what still needs achieving this window.
Just 2 signings made within half the window, and (with Darlow disastrously leaving) no number 1 gk signing.
LUFC have friendlies soon, with, as it stands, currently either last season's 4th choice Cairns or a keeper, Perri, who Farke has no trust in and is looking to offload from the club.
This needs sorting ASAP, as it's not in any way ideal preparation for the start of the EPL season, nor a good look on our recruitment dept imo. ?
3.) 21 Jul 2026 10:29:06
I'm with Baz, they must have known Darlow was not signing, and if they are listening to Perri offers, they obviously want him out.
They need to get something in soon, ideally to join the pre-season friendlies in some capacity.
4.) 21 Jul 2026 10:38:20
Really, we had no idea you felt that way, Baz, maybe you should have said something before. ?
5.) 21 Jul 2026 10:46:39
Indeed, Llf.
Hehe, Canada. Yep, indeed.
But, let's wait till end of window, if need be, eh, to sign a keeper, as you proscribe.
6.) 21 Jul 2026 10:55:44
Think striker and goalie 100% priority in next 7 days. Forget the rest. Just pay what is needed. Stop faffing around. Unload Gnonto or Ao. Make some dosh.
7.) 21 Jul 2026 12:38:29
Looking forward to tomorrow's post proclaiming only 40 days left, with another summary.
8.) 21 Jul 2026 12:57:53
We 100% need a keeper or two, Baz!
9.) 21 Jul 2026 13:28:06
Yes indeed, we definitely do, Canada! ..
Brighty, haha, quite droll..
But, why you weren't bothered by Darlow leaving makes little logical sense, imo, with Leeds floundering to sign even one keeper, let alone two.
10.) 21 Jul 2026 17:29:46
How do you know they're floundering?
Foundationless assumption.
11.) 21 Jul 2026 17:54:03
My thoughts: Is Perri an absolute lost cause? He's number 1 atm and we've invested in him. Do we have gk coaches who could focus on his weaknesses?
Then maybe we need another, bit like we did with Darlow.
12.) 21 Jul 2026 18:49:33
Well, have we signed a keeper yet, Brighty?
I am 6 foot 4.. happy to help out.
13.) 22 Jul 2026 00:04:21
I'd target Jason Steele, especially if Peri stays. I believe Steele is better than Darlow, but it's just my opinion.
14.) 22 Jul 2026 01:41:14
Rumour going round that Martinez has decided to stay at Villa rather than push for a move to Juventus, in which case that'd be one less club competing with us for Trafford's signature.
15.) 22 Jul 2026 07:59:39
Very close to Trafford now.
Will need another GK too for when Perri leaves.
16.) 22 Jul 2026 08:19:33
We used to have a production line for good keepers coming from the academy. What's happening there right now?

Disappointed to pretty much boss the game and fall apart for 20 min. My 87 yr old gooner dad recovering from hernia op watched with me. Said we should have won. No decent striker and finishers the reason. Threw 3 points away. Very annoyed after such first half dominance.
1.) 10 Oct 2026 15:02:43
The gulf was highlghted by the two benches Aus.
2.) 10 Oct 2026 15:23:07
Bettter than last seez but yet another defeat to Arsenal in this millennium.
Said it all summer window that Leeds needed more goals in team but we blow all our wedge of 85 million on a goodish gk and albeit good cd
Apart from the Newcastle match we have scored just 4 goals in 5 EPL matches and goalscoring is an issue.
3.) 10 Oct 2026 15:28:19
Agree Leodis, there bench can can make that difference over 90 mins and sadly thats what evolved.
Still very proud of our boys they put up a excellent fight.
4.) 10 Oct 2026 15:39:16
Someone did say on here a couple of weeks ago that we would see how far we've come when we play Arsenal.
Well now we know - a real step forward. Hugely disappointed to lose but this is a club which is going in the right direction.
5.) 10 Oct 2026 15:47:59
Baz if our keep wasn't changed from last season the score would have been more we are building as new squad starting with James look at how much arsenal team cost. I believe we did very well took the lead it's never going to be easy playing the best team in the league but we made it hard for them get them at home we may beat them.
And James made some great saves.
6.) 10 Oct 2026 16:05:15
Whitey. yep the Gooners squad cost a lot but they really arent that great
and not anywhere near the great Arsenal invincibles of 2004
.teams will beat Gooners this seez like Brighton easily did 3 nil in previous game.
7.) 10 Oct 2026 19:06:16
Correct Baz. They have a great squad not so much the team.
8.) 10 Oct 2026 21:39:45
If we had that squad and saying that you would he hung out to dry on here ?♂️??♂️.
08 Oct 2026 05:29:00
Back in business at last and a very difficult game coming up.
My line up as long as no injuries would be.
Trafford. Bogle. Justin. Elvis. Gary. Gabby. Amps tanaka. Stach. Noah. Dcl.
Be happy with a point.
Think we will do Devon.
1.) 08 Oct 2026 07:29:56
Seems like the right starting lineup to me. In terms of injuries from what I read we can add Wilson and Bahoya to Rodon, so no new key injuries. Any other I haven't heard about? Arsenal missing saliba havertz tzolis and konsa with white and Mosquera also struggling so CB could be problematic for them albeit they should have more strength in depth to cope than us.
2.) 08 Oct 2026 14:04:44
Hoping
Arsenal 0 vs Leeds 1
Expecting
Arsenal 2 vs Leeds 0.
3.) 08 Oct 2026 19:25:42
Sounds about right.
4.) 08 Oct 2026 23:14:19
Think I might go for Bijol in place of Elvis Aus, but otherwise my choices would be the same as yours.
01 Oct 2026 05:52:33
Saw a report that the football league said they have provision for a team to be able to apply to league 2. Never mentioned 1 or championship.
And what will happen to games played already. Will the points be taken away from a team that actually gets a draw or win against them?
1.) 01 Oct 2026 09:17:37
If MC expelled, it reduces PL from 20 teams to 19, so at next season end they could accept 3 promoted teams as usual but only relegate 2 so back to 20. Then of course Champo has same prob, then Leagues 1 and 2 same.
If EFL don't accept them somewhere then they would have to pass the prob down to National League and so on and so on. Interesting conundrum.
26 Sep 2026 08:58:04
Says that punishment will be going forward. Not taking cups and titles away. Do fine. Relegation. Transfer inward ban. They will lose their whole team in next two windows. Not allowed to buy any. Might cause a few probs lol.
25 Sep 2026 10:50:20
Just about to watch raphy boy tear Australia apart. Happy days.
1.) 25 Sep 2026 12:58:52
1:0 Australia with 5 mins to go, care to revisit your prediction Aus?
2.) 25 Sep 2026 13:36:40
Ooops!
As the Duke of Wellington said after the battle of Waterloo, a damn close run thing.
3.) 25 Sep 2026 13:36:54
Late goal for Brazil
Pretty good result for the Aussie football team.doing better than the Aussie cricket team.
4.) 25 Sep 2026 14:12:18
Oh Baz. Time a ticking. Chappy. At lest you got decent coach and tactics now but no decent players lol.
Raphs mom jr. shame they couldn't smashed em. Aus play a lot like Everton in my eyes. Stifling but boring.
5.) 25 Sep 2026 16:35:15
Aus of course England miss legendary all time bowling wicket taking greats Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad.
But England imo will beat the Aussies in the forthcoming Ashes.
That's a Baz Guarantee.
6.) 25 Sep 2026 19:18:24
England beat the Aussies in the forthcoming Ashes, you're aving a larf Baz.
However bad the Aussies are, England can always be relied upon to find a way to be worse. The words "England" and "Batting Collapse" go together like "peaches and cream". And no test at Headingley either, they're going to Southampton instead.
7.) 25 Sep 2026 21:50:22
Keep the faith JR. England will win.
8.) 25 Sep 2026 21:07:31
Keep the faith JR.we are going to spank the backsides of dem Aussies.
9.) 26 Sep 2026 00:29:23
They'll win the first test, go out to celebrate, get pissed, get into a punch up with night club bouncers, two or three of them have to be dropped for the rest of the series which they'll then lose.
Probably !!!
10.) 26 Sep 2026 01:00:31
Lol JR.but hopefully not !
11.) 26 Sep 2026 07:24:08
By the time of the next ashes, it will be more than 25 years since the Aussies had won a series in England. I predict that run will go past 30 years!
08 Oct 2026 01:26:40
Spose that's what a majority of mid table clubs have to do. Sell to improve. 80 would get us a good replacement and decent striker.
07 Oct 2026 14:42:35
Don't think Joseph even champ standard. Will need to loan lower league or serie A lol. Anyway. No bucks for mats.
24 Sep 2026 10:04:30
The little tweak on formation has caused a few problems. I'm glad he made it. It was necessary. But leaves a few players scrapping for one spot really. Bayou untried and Wilson and stack underwhelming. And Okafor and James on different wings.
It's a conundrum. Think adding an extra mf instead of having two wingers a good thing. Bogle and Justin more than enough poke on that side. Leaving Okafor on his own. Or no Okafor and ba or Wilson.
19 Sep 2026 09:48:48
Bang on dun. Bit like keep fans happy we bought an attacker.
11 Sep 2026 09:05:18
Wonder why he hasn't signed then? Not sure it's been offered tbh. Unless Farke wants out or more money. Bloke should be happy with having a job and living in Leeds. Who wouldn't. ?
11 Oct 2026 06:58:49
Saying something that we are disappointed with not getting more from the game. Def improvement on last season so heading in the right direction. having said that Arsenal were poor. I can safely predict they won't be winning the title this season. And most likeiy nor will city. Over to spanking Devon now. Perfect timing.
04 Oct 2026 13:49:58
The lesser euro leagues easier to win than domestic cups for sure Get home and away games for starters.
04 Oct 2026 13:48:35
He did indeed know Matt. I read that. Two each.
04 Oct 2026 09:19:17
Picking the in form striker ( ? ) in England to cover one's arse with no intention of playing him much.
04 Oct 2026 00:06:39
I like winning. Games competitions whatever, although I don't go much on domestic cups. With two windows before next season I'd be happy qualifying for conference or Europa. Think we would be ready and enough strength in depth to cope. Also think we'd have a good chance of winning either or.
