Going back to Cleggy's question on players one wished Leeds United had signed.
In 2001 DOL and Leeds United were heavily linked to signing Frank Lampard.we missed out on some player there.
20 Jun 2026 12:48:10.
LeedsITK, so any updates on Harry Wilson deal to Leeds you stated would be announced (by end of this week) ?
And is he after 2, 3 or 4 year deal? A decisive element in who he eventually chooses to sign for surely in coming days, weeks?
Other clubs such as say Villa, Everton, or still remaining at Fulham with their new coach now announced not possibilities for Wilson?
1.) 20 Jun 2026 14:53:37
End of the week is usually Sunday night, isn't it? New week at work Monday, and then weekend. Except for you lazy old retired gits, when every day is a holiday.
2.) 20 Jun 2026 15:19:12
Lol Aus, but isn't a working day in Ausland deciding on how many prawns to put on the barbie? ?
3.) 20 Jun 2026 15:22:44
Aus, "End of week" generally refers to Friday 5pm in a professional setting.
Or weekend in a personal context.
Anyways, let's be generous and say end of week actually means next week, lol. ?
Have a feeling even next week the Harry Wilson saga will not be concluded..
4.) 20 Jun 2026 15:35:28
Harry Wilson is still contractually a Fulham player til June 30, so anyone who expects him to sign for us or anyone else before then is likely to be disappointed, and, since Fulham are still hopeful he'll sign a new contract with them, I doubt they'll be minded to release him early from his current contract.
I'm not expecting any final decision til after June 30, and he'll have offers to consider besides ours, such as from Villa or Everton, etc. It may be by the end of the week, but which week is still to be decided.
5.) 20 Jun 2026 15:41:13
Another, very good, entirely logical post from you, JR. ? Top man.
6.) 20 Jun 2026 16:42:59
We literally officially announced Nmecha two weeks before his Wolfsburg contract expired last summer.
7.) 20 Jun 2026 16:43:29
And the end of the week is a Sunday, not Friday. Don't know if you've seen a calendar recently.
8.) 20 Jun 2026 17:08:21
Players can sign for a new club before their current contract ends. That won't make any difference.
4yr is what I have heard.
9.) 20 Jun 2026 17:22:47
Waccoe,
Thing is, there were 2 seasons of bad injuries, 2023 to 2025, for Nmecha.
So, I doubt his club, Wolfsburg, had offered him a new contract to stay.
Wilson, however, is, according to some, wanted by multiple clubs, including his own current club, Fulham, to whom he is still contracted.
So, there are choices and decisions to be made, that possibly might take time to resolve/ decide into July rather than "end of this week".
So, I fully agree with JR on the more likely timeframes, imo, re Wilson decisions.
And I still have some doubts he even signs for Leeds at the end of it.
10.) 20 Jun 2026 17:26:09
Wacco, do Leeds United ever make signings at weekend? Hmmm.
..Anyways, let's see what happens next week (if anything) . ?
11.) 20 Jun 2026 17:40:21
4 year contract, Alf! Till he is 33, at £100k plus a week. Great deal for him.
Wow. That would be a clincher.
12.) 20 Jun 2026 17:53:20
Helpful hint, Saturday and Sunday are known, pretty much universally, as the weekend, then the new week starts Monday.
13.) 20 Jun 2026 18:03:11
We could sign Wilson before the end of his contract (big if) if Fulham agree, but I'd not hold my breath. Signing Nmecha before the end of his contract with Wolfsburg last season would have required their concurrence, which clearly we must have got.
14.) 20 Jun 2026 18:37:30
What JR said ..
15.) 20 Jun 2026 23:01:40
"We literally officially."
Who's the new numpty in town?
16.) 21 Jun 2026 06:40:37
Dunno why you're fighting this talk so much, tbh, Baz! Let's go back to the top line: "rumours", and you're actually disputing "rumours"!
And, before you hop on to arguing the "ITK" part of the lad's name - you are called Viduka - should we be disputing that with you too?
17.) 21 Jun 2026 08:51:17
No expert, but my understanding was that in England, players can sign pre-contract agreements with a new club in the last 6 months of their deal (for international transfers) and last month of their deal (for domestic transfers) .
ie, nothing stopping Wilson from signing a pre-contract deal now that comes into effect July 1st.
18.) 21 Jun 2026 16:25:58
That's correct, MM.
04 Jun 2026 13:04:14
Leeds United linked with signing Charleroi and Algeria midfielder Yassine Titraoui.
Marseille also believed to be interested as are ahem blooming surprise surprise Sunderland.
We've seen this movie last summer. So will it be a Non or a Oui?
Baz Rating of Likelihood 5/10.
1.) 04 Jun 2026 16:45:06
Hull may be in the mix as well, but I agree, I don't think he'll end up at ER. The Humberside press is also linking Hull with Delap, but his wages, £100k per week, won't fit into their structure.
2.) 05 Jun 2026 01:35:39
Have Sunderland got more than us to spend again this window?
Obviously, they have euro as a carrot.
01 Apr 2025 02:37:14
with just 1 win in 5 and pressure right on
Reports today that Paraag Marathe offered Farke the opportunity to bring in a new number 1 replacement for GK Illian Meslier in Jan window
Farkey turned this offer down from Marathe.
Marathe's perplexed face at end of the game in the stadium following the latest Meslier debacle vs Swansea makes one wonder just how muchhe now trust Farkes judgment.
IMO Board need to pull rank on Farkey this week and insist that Mes is dropped now . but I am not sure whether they have the bottle to do so.
BUT given this Meslier replacement offer revelation its now more and more difficult to forsee Farke being our manager next season promoted or not under Marathe and Co.
1.) 01 Apr 2025 09:58:21
It’s not an unfair perspective in all honesty this one, Baz. The new information that came to light in the last 48, if to be believed (! ) , does put a slightly different light on things as they stand. If it is true, then you’re right, it could be the decision that costs Farke his best and financed shot at the PL.
2.) 01 Apr 2025 13:58:40
Defo Brighty.
3.) 02 Apr 2025 00:57:33
Where did you hear that Baz?
4.) 02 Apr 2025 07:57:28
It’s been covered by several online outlets MoT. Not sure about the British rags tho, as I don’t get to see them.
5.) 03 Apr 2025 11:34:39
If that's the case, then it makes perfect sense why Farke didn't blame meslier; because doing so would be admitting his own mistake and, like farke of not, he is arrogant when it comes to his tactics/ ideas. We saw that last season with rutter/ Piroe playing out of position.
6.) 03 Apr 2025 15:56:21
Looks like truth to the speculation of my inintisl post above! .
Mes dropped ( ie Marathe sent heavies around to Farkey re must drop Meslier immediately!? )

Maybe you were right Corkey
Man U are indeed crap ( currently losing 4 nil to Como)
If so, it makes our draw at home at the weekend more disappointing
Hopefully Leeds beat bottom side Sunderland away on Sunday to make up for it a tad.
1.) 21 Oct 2026 20:11:45
Let's be honest, apart from Newcastle ur home form hasn't been good enough. We need an away win then beat Spurs.
2.) 21 Oct 2026 20:35:13
Man U at this moment in time are extremely poor under Carrick. I actually thought he had the making of a good coach at Boro.
Farke didn't help our cause at the weekend as he was too negative. Bringing on Longstaff instead of Wilson or the new French dude said it all.
Expect more of the same as last season with draws a plenty.
In saying that I'd take 47 points again this season, mainly because we lack forwards and rely on DCL too much.
Poor recruitment up top.
Excellent recruitment in central defence.
3.) 21 Oct 2026 20:51:18
Agree Corkey. We're difficult to beat but at the moment we're not going to overwhelm the opposition, apart from Newcastle who are lambs to the slaughter. The defensive recruitment was top class but we didn't add much experience at the sharp end apart from Wilson and he's struggling to get his act together. Maybe we see what's available in January.
4.) 21 Oct 2026 20:51:22
Exactly. what I came onto say Corky, our game Utd were woeful Sunday and we were their equal, game was crying out for. some. creativity and Farke bottled it
It really shows how poor they are now and we couldn't capitalize on that
Quiet possibly Carrick's last few games now
He's gonna get tic tacked.
5.) 22 Oct 2026 01:12:40
Carrick did have the makings of a good coach when he was at Boro, but then he chose to sup from the poisoned chalice that is Crapchester United. Once he gets the sack, and he will before too long, he'll soon get his mojo back like Amorim has done at AC Milan.
6.) 22 Oct 2026 08:34:11
Carrick is still a good manager, but still learning. If his side had the same ethos as ours, they would be doing much better, but they have individuals, who moan, gripe and whine at every turn, and undermine him. Fernandes is not a captain in any definition of the term; he's just a weakly rat! They'd be better off sticking with Carrick, and clearing the decks of those disruptive players.
Lesser players with a better attitude would deliver more, and give them the foundation to build from, pretty much as Farkey is doing with us!
A lot of Leeds fans wouldn't look outta place playing for that team right now: moan, gripe and whine at every turn!
7.) 22 Oct 2026 12:00:53
Imo I can think of a lot of very talented multiple trophy laden players and managers who are well known for" moaning, griping, whining and whinging" during and after matches.
So its really the other issues of often not playing as a team as a collective, more as individuals, so at times giving much less than 100% in effort and desire at times for the cause with Fernandez although talented player defo not captain material. and they have weaknesses in defence for sure.
8.) 22 Oct 2026 12:37:35
Doesn't matter what crap they are and we still didn't beat them.
That's disappointing, isn't it?
9.) 22 Oct 2026 13:04:40
The pressure and expectation was on us at Elland rd for a change, but I fancy it won't be at Old Trashyard and we'll beat them again.
10.) 22 Oct 2026 13:56:37
We didn't beat them because we are one of those teams they least like to be beaten by, so they tried just that little bit harder. Agin Como, they came out thinking it was going to be a walk in the park, but 2 minutes in found that wasn'8t the case.
Paz for Como was outstanding and ran the show til he was subbed off, by which time it was all done and dusted.
11.) 23 Oct 2026 07:35:54
Are you say we just ain't good enough to beat a team many call crap not Playing for the manager who are in disarray don't have the right attitude respect or basically that we were just unlucky on the day. ??♂️.
12.) 23 Oct 2026 08:39:10
I think its more a case of their players knowing that if they lose to us, the fans will get after "them", not the manager, so as JR says, upping their game! Giving that extra bit for every 2nd ball, in every challenge, to get to an over hit pass etc.
They were doing it vs us to save their own skins, individually, so that they wouldn't be the ones to face the wrath of the media and fans for losing to "us". They don't appear to show that level of endeavour vs everyone, and certainly not vs Como.
13.) 23 Oct 2026 15:05:00
Fair point Bright.
20 Oct 2026 00:38:22
Leeds United have now gone 21 Premier League games without a win in games that have kicked off before 3 pm UK time (W0 D8 L13).
This is the longest ever run by any team in Premier League history.
Can Mr Farke and his players please try to end this shocking run of winless pre 3pm matches please.
Thanks.
1.) 20 Oct 2026 17:41:36
Leeds won eleven EPL matches last seez
Three wins were daytime matches including home and away to bottom team Wolves
And
The other eight wins were night time matches
Seven of which were at Elland Road, the other night time win away to Man U
And as for this seez our best EPL result was our one night time match vs Newcastle
So its factual that this Leeds team definitely play better and win more at night relying very heavily on the night time ER atmosphere.
2.) 20 Oct 2026 17:53:50
That's an unbelievable stat. Let's get that monkey off our back against Spurs.
3.) 21 Oct 2026 08:50:00
Depends on how you want to look at stats, what you fail to point out is that we have only lost six games in the last thirty two.
Being defensively strong as a recently promoted team is paramount to sustainability in this taking no prisoners league.
Some fans might demand strength and depth throughout our squad, which is totally unrealistic at this stage in our building of a sustainable premiership team.
Complain if you must but try and apply some of the more positive stats which are clearly outnumbering the negative ones.
4.) 21 Oct 2026 11:09:12
Indeed Feath we hope so and it needs to be.
OP yep Leeds United are currently quite hard to beat but your post totally avoids the elephant in the room that Leeds United under Farke in EPL find it much much harder to win in afternoon kick offs than evening kick offs especially evening kick offs at ER.
Leeds finished a mere 8 points ahead of 18th place West Ham so were fortunate and very heavily reliant to have a lot of 8pm night matches at ER to accrue a large proportion of our points.
Likewise this seez we have a record of 1 win in 6 EPL matches during the day ( 7 points from 6)
And Leeds United do not have many night time matches at home this seez so the day time win ratio really needs to improve OP.
5.) 21 Oct 2026 11:19:30
You can't argue with facts Baz. draws need to be converted to wins more often. Being hard to beat is good. But winning more games is vital. Morning noon or night.
6.) 21 Oct 2026 11:28:04
Indeed Aus winning more games is vital.
7.) 21 Oct 2026 14:14:37
Does it not occur to you that we are currently better off the start of this season than our last.?
Your points made are only borne out of your own personal frustrations, the facts are beside any other stat whether it's a 3 o'clock kick off or evening bare zero relevance, it's still the same opposition we would be facing.
You are only making something out of this to trivialize the hard work that is already on going.
Maybe invite a little patience to your overly insistence.
8.) 21 Oct 2026 14:56:48
Nah OP its a trend that neeeds addressing
For example re same opponents
Vibrant rampant convincing Leeds 4 vs Palace 1 night time last seez.
compared to
an extremely lacklustre daytime Leeds 0 vs Palace 0 this seez ( a Palace team that has since conceded 10 goals in its next 3 matches)
Hopefully we can pick up some wins in our next 3 day time matches. time will tell.
9.) 21 Oct 2026 18:12:55
It's only because Farke is doing better than he did last season so far that the expectations start to ramp up, like your good self Baz.
Hence the qualifying for Europe and all that nonsense. Just because Sunderland overachieved last season and incidentally are now bottom of the league, many are expecting more rather than accepting that our building process in the Premiership is going to take time.
Let's not boom and bust again, it's not the way to long term success.
10.) 21 Oct 2026 19:43:26
Err OP Leeds won same number of matches in first seven EPL games last seez and this seez.
11.) 21 Oct 2026 21:10:03
Yes but we lost more games, what's your point ?
12.) 21 Oct 2026 21:26:47
Its a mere 2 point difference. anyways.
13.) 21 Oct 2026 21:41:20
Facts are facts opti. We not talking about start to this season but history. Like not beating gunners at home. Dress it up. See it how you like. Being difficult to beat no way compares with winning more games. If you happy with that.
Good for you. Recent report on fot backs you up. Over last three windows we have spent 10% on attacking players. 90% on mid and def. That's why we not winning but losing and drawing. If you can't see that. Well. Keep taking the pills bud.
14.) 21 Oct 2026 23:02:57
Super spot on post Aus.
15.) 22 Oct 2026 10:40:49
I see it Aus but that is my point which I believe you don't see.
There is not a bottomless pot of money whereby we can build our team in all areas with quality players and even if there was, the financial rules won't allow it.
I believe Farke's building this team from the defense to attack in that order.
Hence spending 180 mil on defenders and goalie.
By bringing in freebie attackers like DCL, Nmencha and Harry Wilson, it's allowed us to spend good money on building our relatively weak defense and GK of last season.
It's a building process, a bit like a house from the bottom to the top not the other way round.
Being difficult to beat gives us stability in these maybe three to four seasons of having a sustainable premiership football team.
As much as I loved Marcelo's high press heavy metal football with non high quality players, it didn't really get us anywhere in the Prem.
You will see next summer there will be I'm certain, quality offensive players coming to the club.
I get the pragmatism of how Farke wants to take Leeds Utd forward and I think the players buy into his plan also.
Likewise Aus, feel free to think we are better than we are and can spend money more than what we can.
Keep dreaming fella.
19 Oct 2026 18:32:05
Wanna see Leeds United win more games peeps?!
Well we need clean sheets!
1 nil to the Leeds the mantra!
So it is imperative, that Joe Rodon is back in our first team
This seez Leeds United with Joe Rodon in team
2.5 games and ZER0 goals conceded
And without Joe Rodon in team
6.5 games and TWELVE goals conceded. and just one clean sheet.a lucky clean sheet at that vs Palace.
13 Oct 2026 19:23:40
I wonder if contract renewal length is an issue in any contract renewal discussions between DF and SF49ers
I have a feeling 49ers understandably might not want to commit to a long contract extension of say even 3 years and defo not 4 years
My guess is they might want to agree to just a 2 year extension.
1.) 13 Oct 2026 20:57:26
I was thinking similar Baz. I reckon he's been offered a two year deal.
2.) 13 Oct 2026 22:04:35
Yes Corkey, it will be interesting to see how this pans out.
Imo its not a given, say around 75/25 chance that Farke is still Leeds manager at start of next seez.
3.) 13 Oct 2026 22:08:01
It might be, but it also might be about money?
4.) 13 Oct 2026 22:35:28
Or it might be both OP!
Contract length AND salary
In which case, Farke better start winning some matches then; so far just 2 EPL wins in 6 ; arguably a must win vs out of form Man U who are there for the taking!
5.) 14 Oct 2026 13:00:47
Agree Baz. Arguably min 2-4 point below where we should be. Let's hope he can nick a few unexpected ones.
6.) 14 Oct 2026 14:00:23
Indeed Aus, could be better
Wheras Leeds showed up at home vs Newcastle, they had very underpar matches at home particularly vs Palace and also vs an albeit very good Brentford side.
We simply must do much better this Sunday at home to Man U.
7.) 14 Oct 2026 17:32:18
Only one good home performance this season so another one is a must on Sunday, especially with two tricky away games coming up.
8.) 14 Oct 2026 19:58:45
Baz I believe that's a great deal two years not sure on the money it he has received more, The large millions pay off as seen in many club over recent times is mind blowing we can't afford to waste money that could be spent on players. So I would say it's about his wages not sitting well with him.
9.) 14 Oct 2026 20:29:18
Indeed 2 hard away games coming up Feath.
Leeds United have won I believe just a paltry 3 EPL away games in 22 under Farke which really needs to improve asap!
It was our home form which kept us up last seez.let's beat Man U. best time to play em right now!
10.) 14 Oct 2026 20:32:39
One would expect he gets offered a pay increase Whitey.
Just have a feeling it will be only a 2 year offer.
Big month or so ahead to see what transpires.
11.) 15 Oct 2026 10:53:38
OK Baz, only 2 wins in 6, but then only 5 teams have won more. Only 1 loss in 6, but only 3 are undefeated, and 4 others have only lost 1. Goals against 5, joint lowest in PL with 4 other teams. Looked at in the round our record ain't too bad at all.
My uneducated guess at DFs new contract is an extra 3 years taking it from 2027 to 2030, plus a modest pay rise along with possible bonuses for targeted league position, or Euro qualification.
12.) 15 Oct 2026 12:39:24
Correct stats JR ; it's a decent to good start but as Feath noted we have 2 tough back to back away games coming up and our EPL away win record is bad under Farke ( 3 in 22) .
13.) 15 Oct 2026 13:59:30
Isn't it funny that we're 7th, but we think of Sunderland (17th) and Bournemouth (18th) as tough away fixtures. All fixtures are tough, but I'd hope to get something out of those two, hopefully at least 2 points.
14.) 16 Oct 2026 00:50:49
But only 1 PL loss away from home this season at arsenal.
27 Jul 2026 20:01:53
* Tea towel home kit spoiler alert
I adore most and have many of Leeds United kits especially the kits from the 70s and 90s and the Bielsa Pablo Raphinha era.
However, I have just seen the promo on LUFC website for official home kit. It is indeed the tea towel kit. Ugh.

Both Pablo prime and Bowyer prime please. if I had to choose one only.Bowyer.
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!
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.
03 Nov 2026 20:04:19
What JR said 100%.
Was saying that all summer window.
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.
Bazooka_Viduka4's banter replies
12 Nov 2026 21:07:01
Coventry are giving it a go to stay up 9 points from 10 matches is better than some expected.
That said they will probably finish seez in bottom 3 but I predict Coventry stick with Frankie as manager all seez and into next.
Just as Norwich did with Farke.
12 Nov 2026 16:10:54
Davey. Easy
JR is a better defender than JJ imo.
JJ was asleep for the Mbuemo Man U goal.
12 Nov 2026 15:06:33
MG.JR comes back in all day long into our defence for me.
12 Nov 2026 15:03:36
Thats huge MG.
12 Nov 2026 15:01:13
Gabi imo a tad overated going forward and ok at best defensively.
Play Bard want to see more of him.
