Ramazani holding out for a Saudi move reportedly! Says it all really, if it's true.
1.) 27 Aug 2026 17:10:23
Seen a few posts on that subject, Bright. The Saudi window doesn't close until after ours, and I've seen comments that they are allowed to buy until 20th September. Ramzanni could hold on for some time in the hope of getting a move there.
I'm sure it would be the best financial option for United.
West Ham fans not averse to taking him either, and a fee of £3.5m is suggested. Also talk that Serie A clubs Parma and Lecce are interested.
2.) 27 Aug 2026 22:29:17
It's a strange stance from him, if true.
Say Saudi don't come for him, what's he do then? Train alone, not play for the development team or first team here?
Seems a big, big gamble for him.
3.) 27 Aug 2026 22:56:07
He'll take the money and have a year off.
4.) 27 Aug 2026 23:17:09
But if no Saudi club comes in for him by next Tuesday, what does he do then?
5.) 27 Aug 2026 23:49:32
Who cares.
6.) 28 Aug 2026 01:06:16
For him, I don't care, but if he's still on our books after Sep 1st, like a spare p**** at a wedding, he's a problem we can do without. The Saudi transfer window is still open til Sep 6th, but if nobody there wants him then we're stuck with him.
7.) 28 Aug 2026 02:04:57
I repeat. Who cares. He's irrelevant, He's a legend in his own mirror.
8.) 28 Aug 2026 02:39:56
It's a very fair point, JR. Not least the expense of his wages if no club were to sign Rama this window.
Farke's actions over excluding Rama, in my opinion, have really devalued his worth, and other clubs are using that to not offer a decent transfer fee.
9.) 28 Aug 2026 08:27:00
So, you're blaming Farke for Rama's poor professionalism now, Baz?
Strange how he had the very same issues on loan with Corberan. So you would say Farke should have kept him around the team, contrary to our 'side before self' mantra, and undermining every player that does show an appropriate level of professionalism.
Cause and effect, and the cause of this ongoing mess lies firmly with the player and his pee-poor attitude.
What's his net worth? £5/6 million at a time when we're investing £30/40 million on top players.
The lad has skills, no doubt about it, but it's better to cut our losses than undermine our fantastic togetherness.
For the level we're now at, a mutual termination of his contract is fine with me. Like Cree, unbelievable skill sets do not excuse you from having a terrible attitude. Well done, Farke, for doing what's best for the club, not the player.
10.) 28 Aug 2026 09:11:20
Well put, Class!
11.) 28 Aug 2026 10:45:48
He's a bad apple, that's why Daniel wants him gone.
12.) 28 Aug 2026 11:54:06
Interesting points, Class..
05 Aug 2026 16:13:11
Nelson Deossa supposedly now being lined up instead of Shea Charles. It's a rumour, to be clear!
1.) 05 Aug 2026 20:23:03
A midfielder?. Again, really?
How about more pressing, urgent, must-fill positions, such as
a lb,
a striker or 2,
And 2 goalkeepers (or 1 gk if Jimmy Trafford is finally found) .
2.) 05 Aug 2026 20:34:30
Disappointed! I come here to see folk link us to Ryan Kent.
3.) 06 Aug 2026 01:59:05
Deossa scored a belter for Betis against Arse**** tonight, with a 25 yd left foot drive, and then laid on a 3rd goal for Fornals.
4.) 06 Aug 2026 05:44:56
Maybe one of his most productive games ever?..
As previous season 25/26.
20 games, 0 goals, 0 assists.
5.) 06 Aug 2026 07:47:53
Yet again, but expectedly, Baz, you've failed to grasp the concept of a rumour, and jumped straight back to your own agenda, whilst moaning that it doesn't fit with your personal requirements/ expectations! It's beyond dull, and highly repetitive.
6.) 06 Aug 2026 10:11:56
Well, hopefully it's not a particularly accurate rumour for a myriad of reasons.
03 Aug 2026 15:21:18
Joffy about to join Brum for 9mill. 4 Yr deal.
1.) 03 Aug 2026 15:44:41
Decent dosh. More than I expected if £9 million is correct.
2.) 03 Aug 2026 16:10:40
I'd snap their hands off. He should do a decent job there, and they're a club with money and big ambitions, so he's got time to make his mark. Wish him well.
3.) 03 Aug 2026 16:24:08
Be nice if they spent the same again on Prior, that would be good for both teams imo.
4.) 03 Aug 2026 17:14:58
Reports are that they are "interested" in Joffy, not that they're bidding for him as yet.
5.) 03 Aug 2026 17:35:09
That depends on what and where it was read, Dave. I read deal agreed, but of course, different sources / outlets will say different things. ??
6.) 03 Aug 2026 19:38:00
I told you, Baz, we'd get around 10 million for him. 15 goals and 4 assists last season, despite missing a good few games, is gold dust in the Championship.
Hull will probably come in for him now?
7.) 03 Aug 2026 20:55:37
Joffy and Piroe could do a good job at Burnley. Just the sort of players to help get you out of the Championship. I'd swap them for Fleming.
8.) 03 Aug 2026 21:05:20
Interesting post, Dunelm?
9.) 03 Aug 2026 23:01:41
If we really get £9m for him, that, + Struijk £18-20m depending on reports, + Schmidt 2.5m more or less, is net what we spent for Muharemovic.
Swapping two players no longer useful for us, and getting younger, and perhaps even better with Muharemovic vs. Struijk, is a seriously good deal.
All hinges on that Gelhardt deal coming to fruition for the stated funds ofc.
10.) 04 Aug 2026 01:19:23
The only fly in the ointment there is that the £18-20M we got for Struijk was counted against the Premier League PSR (Profitability and Sustainability Rules) for 2025/6, whereas the £34M for Muharemovic will be counted against the SCR (Squad Cost Ratio) allowance for 2026/7, so we can't set one off against the other.
11.) 04 Aug 2026 06:47:11
Quite right, Jr. We're not allowed creative accounting, although those rules haven't applied to all Premier League clubs in the past. ?
12.) 04 Aug 2026 08:49:37
9 million is a bargain for Joffy. But, we all know it's all about his ridiculously high wages that have put off most clubs.
13.) 04 Aug 2026 16:58:33
I've searched round the net, and the same answer keeps coming up - £15k per week. Is he on a special deal for the last year of his contract?
14.) 04 Aug 2026 20:03:41
15k/week is what he's on. Not particularly high I would say.
15.) 04 Aug 2026 20:35:24
Agreed, Corkey.
16.) 04 Aug 2026 23:22:14
We will get nowhere near 9m for him.
17.) 05 Aug 2026 08:35:59
What will we get then Woodzy? Share an informed perspective, instead of just writing the literary equivalent of a fresh, steaming dump!?
02 Aug 2026 07:59:08
Club Brugge forward Nicolo Tresoldi is the reported new focus as a striker option.
1.) 02 Aug 2026 08:29:06
Why don't we buy him. No dilly dally. Hand over the dosh. It's that simple.
2.) 02 Aug 2026 11:10:02
Decisive, swift action indeed, very welcome, Aus.
3.) 02 Aug 2026 18:38:12
It's not that simple when we're talking £25M.
31 Jul 2026 19:47:46
Sounds like Brandt has signed for Ajax!?
1.) 31 Jul 2026 20:00:25
He really isn't all that anyway. We need some pace in attack and he isn't that guy.
2.) 31 Jul 2026 20:00:57
Yep, correct.
3.) 31 Jul 2026 20:03:43
Announced on Ajax website.
4.) 31 Jul 2026 20:04:52
If you said that before he signed for Ajax, Dave, you would have had more gravitas.
5.) 31 Jul 2026 20:21:07
What a surprise. We do have a tendency to pursue targets over a long period, even when it's quite obvious we've been played. It might be unfair on Brandt, but the only reason I can see why he went to Ajax, who are in the Europa League and not the main event, is that he decided that the Premier League might prove to be a step too far, and too physical and athletic for him.
It will be a much quieter life in the Eredivisie. ?
We move on.
6.) 31 Jul 2026 21:24:40
Not surprised indeed, Dune. Well summed up.
For me, currently, the 2020/2021 summer window of Raphinha, Rodrigoal, Koch and Llorente is far, far better than this one.
7.) 31 Jul 2026 21:28:14
I have said it, Corkey, on many other YouTube vloggers live streams and possibly on here.
He's 30, no sell-on value, never played outside Germany. The fact he has strung us along for a month.
He isn't prem ready. He would get gobbled up in the prem, he's too slow.
He's basically just after a last big payday.
Harry Wilson will do a better job as a 10.
8.) 01 Aug 2026 00:39:38
What BV?
That was a shocker of a summer. Rapha is one of the best players ever to pull on the shirt, but the other three were soft as s**** and totally unsuited to PL football.
On Brandt, he obviously fancied an easy ride, and in hindsight maybe fortunate to have missed him. We do hang around a little too long at times over guys who don't really want to come here.
9.) 01 Aug 2026 01:01:36
At least there's still a month left of the window. We can now concentrate on alternative targets, like Pavel Sulc, who was suggested last week, only 20 yrs old, but would set us back, say, £15-20M rather than a free agent like Brandt.
10.) 01 Aug 2026 01:04:42
Glad re Brandt. Not good enough for Prem.
11.) 01 Aug 2026 02:58:05
Frog, re 20/21 summer signings.
Rodrigo scored 30 EPL goals for Leeds United.
Raph is the best Leeds player for the past 25 years.
Koch was decent overall.

3. Brentford - 9 points - £11.9m
2. Everton - 9 points - £9.8m
1. Leeds United - 9 points - £9.5m
Based on club's summer spend and points so far this season via @Transfermarkt.
1.) 22 Sep 2026 10:28:04
So Leeds with their vastly superior revenue to the 3 promoted clubs have spent £90 million while Hull and Ipswich have spent double and Coventry £50 million more than Leeds.
We are in a very good place and our owners deserve a lot of credit but please do not kid yourselves or use PSR or whatever the latest financial restriction excuse is called to think our lowest spend in the EPL is because of these financial restrictions.it is prudent spending designed to maximise our US owners and investors return which I fully accept they are not in the football club ownership game for charitable reasons and of course they will want a piece of the pie to make it worthwhile but I personally think they are taking too much for themselves as Sunday showed we lack at least 2 more quality additions to be considered a top 6 challenging side which probably would cost at least £50 to £60 million.
Oh well mustn't complain and expect too much I suppose is the brainwashed, obedient and compliant consensus after all it's only our 2nd season in the EPL and we have to be realistic and not entitled and not aim too high as it's only our 2nd season.steady building is the way because it's only our 2nd season.have I mentioned it's only our 2nd season and we shouldn't expect too much??
Yes our owners have been very clever, haven't they indeed, but that's their perogative and I'm sure as long as the majority of the fan base seem to easily accept this as that's just the way it is our owners will give us another lowest spend in the EPL next season.
In my opinion they could easily give Farke a helping hand in January and at least try and bring in a couple of new additions we all recognise are needed on loan if need be and I know there will be the push back reason of it's not that easy to find these players that potentially have to be content with a subs bench blar blar blar.well try I say, look at Man City or Arsenal young B team players at least, look around South America and Africa like Brighton and Brentford seem to do year on year.
Reach for the stars I say and don't settle for just okay because a top 6 finish and European football brings even larger financial rewards so I hope our owners can see this season is a real opportunity to establish Leeds ahead of the likes of Spurs, Villa and Newcastle and on a par with Brentford and Brighton.now I don't think that's too much to ask!
2.) 22 Sep 2026 12:22:44
Very interesting Brighty. So funny to see Spurs in the mire - mind you, at least they are top of this particular table:) ) )
3.) 22 Sep 2026 13:48:59
So according to the figures above Man City (£30 million x 15 points) spent £450 million in Summer window.
.woah.
4.) 22 Sep 2026 14:02:22
This is obviously not net spend?
5.) 22 Sep 2026 13:42:38
Very interesting posts by bright and Cheshire. Food for thought. I'd rather me mid table tbh. Not too tight or big spenders. Looks like we might be tight or over performing. Anyway of finding those figures for end of last season bright? Be interesting to see how promoted clubs faired last year ?
6.) 22 Sep 2026 13:50:29
Cheshire - all the info you are whining and speculating about is in the public domain. If you do some research you will quickly find out the logical answers to your conspiracy theories.
7.) 22 Sep 2026 16:18:43
It's actual laughable that his "answer” to all our problems is 2 signings at a cost of £60 million would get us in the top 6.
As if every club in the world wouldn't spend the extra "£60 million” if that guaranteed you top 6.
The club have said multiple times we are / were close and had to sell pascal to meet the demands.
I wish we would overspend and gamble on getting in the champions league and then gamble on making it past the group stages for the next 6 years, oh wait, hasn't that happened before?
8.) 22 Sep 2026 16:50:56
I think there's a somewhat middle ground from Cheshire's reasoned expectations and statements and the sentiments of Alf and Lad
And also
1) Not sure peeps should believe everything they are fed by current owners ( or most owners for that matter )
And
2) defo empathise with Cheshire to ponder how much the Leeds United owners and their gazillion number of individual stakeholders are receiving.thats long been on my mind !
9.) 22 Sep 2026 19:54:40
The answer Baz is clearly is not very much if anything, given that we spend more than 85% of our income on the players. Then there is the ground to run, all the back room staff, match day security, lawyers etc. I would hazard a guess, most if not all the stakeholders are well under water and will likely remain that way until the ownership changes.
10.) 22 Sep 2026 19:55:48
Surely making the club over time more successful generates more for the stakeholders to keep them happy.
We are not Man Utd that still generates millions upon millions on just their name, not from their achievements which are less than a shadow compared to their past.
The 49er's I'm certain want Leeds United to become more successful and not to be static.
The conspiracy theories are for the fantasists.
11.) 22 Sep 2026 20:52:35
Yes Ani the big payday for owners and other minority stakeholders will be when the club is sold for a whopping load more than 49ers purchased Leeds from Radz.
.once stadium expansion and regeneration projects have been completed and with Leeds United hopefully still firmly established in EPL.
12.) 22 Sep 2026 20:55:47
Realists OP. not all so called conspiracy theories in the world are baseless.far from it.
13.) 22 Sep 2026 21:00:49
Harsh and rude towards Cheshire.
14.) 23 Sep 2026 06:11:54
Harsh and rude comments aimed at the owners of our club with no evidence at all to support such brazen accusations.
It's got nothing to do with being a realist at all.
15.) 23 Sep 2026 07:41:58
Aus: I'm sure there is bud, but I gotta admit that the above was just something that social media threw out and I shared with the group to have some fun with! (Clearly that went sideways, as usual tho!) ???.
16.) 23 Sep 2026 10:39:14
Not sure the 49ers and other investors are taking anything at the moment, just absorbing ongoing losses and making massive investments. As others have said, they only see a return when they sell the club to the next bunch of suits - be careful what you wish for.
Honestly mate, I hate the petro-capitalist complex that has bought football as much as the next person. And yet, director salaries are far lower than the players'. That's a much bigger consideration in whether they can fling £60M on a couple more.
Don't we all like watching our team play more like Barcelona than Bradford? I do and I think the 49ers are a big party of that improvement. I cannot wait for the ER extension, partly because I cannot get a ticket for love nor money most games, and because it will bring some investment to an unloved part of Leeds which really needs it.
I'm under no illusion about the 49ers' motivation. Personally, I'd choose them over some petrol state dictatorship any day of the week but there we are.
17.) 23 Sep 2026 19:42:31
Good post Southern ?.
21 Sep 2026 14:11:37
At least we have tomorrow night's game to look forward to in this enforced footballing "lull". Looking forward to watching the U21s vs Barnsley!
1.) 21 Sep 2026 14:34:00
Not really interested in u21s these days
The thing is we had the Howard Wilko / David Oleary babes of Kewell, Harte, Woody, Smithy etc come through and prosper in 1st team
But these days our young uns are just sold by our current regime.
18 Sep 2026 14:06:51
The game i thought Wilson might get the opportunity to shine, and he's out injured, dammit! Quad issue after Newcastle, and may miss welsh games too.
1.) 18 Sep 2026 14:14:39
Pretty sure Wilson would not have started vs Palace anyways
It's going to be the same eleven that started vs Newcastle.
2.) 18 Sep 2026 14:58:03
Agreed Baz bit of a set back for him hopefully a good rest will help.
3.) 19 Sep 2026 04:36:00
Been underwhelming for us so far tbh. Been a bit disappointed with him.
4.) 19 Sep 2026 12:04:02
I agree with Baz, same starting 11 as Monday. It's not happening yet for Wilson, but I am sure he will come good for us.
12 Sep 2026 19:57:01
Spuds winless and goal-less after 4! Still reckon they'll click and be fine, but the longer it continues, the better (and funnier!)
1.) 12 Sep 2026 22:11:04
Yep, Spuds misfiring so far, but they're only 3 points behind Leeds, and we have a very difficult October coming up, where conceivably we pick up just a point or so.
Away to Arsenal, Sunderland and Bournemouth.
And just one home game, Man U.
In my opinion, it's imperative Leeds United pick up at least 4 points in the next 2 matches vs Newcastle and Palace.
Otherwise, pressure might start to really build on Farke come November.
2.) 12 Sep 2026 22:51:39
Let's be serious here, it is hilarious. ?
3.) 12 Sep 2026 23:17:12
Baz, if we do manage to beat Newcastle tomorrow, then we'll be joint third with show stoppers Hull.
That'll get yer juices following, I'm sure.
Put a lid on that pressure cap, doubting Baz.
4.) 13 Sep 2026 00:11:23
Well, hopefully Leeds United do manage to beat Newcastle, OP.. But Leeds haven't won in 3 matches, fella.
And, there's no doubt we've got a very tough run of fixtures in October.. have we not?
Pressure can mount very quickly.
5.) 13 Sep 2026 07:09:30
Ofc we play Monday..
08 Sep 2026 08:25:01
On this day, 2007, we beat Hartlepool 2-0, to reach a total of zero points in L1. A great day!
How far we have risen! United are back!
1.) 08 Sep 2026 10:24:30
Now you've done it, Bright, blatantly pointing out we scored 2 goals back in those heady days, tin helmets at the ready. ?
2.) 08 Sep 2026 11:06:02
Ahh, those heady days of Leeds United winning 7 matches in a row, scoring goals for fun with the dream team of not just 1 but 2 goalscoring strikers up front in Beckford and Bechhio.
Plus creative talent in Robert Snodgrass supplying them.
Bring back Wisey and Poyet, I sayyy. ?
3.) 08 Sep 2026 11:56:28
Lol, Class!
4.) 08 Sep 2026 12:18:29
Baz is teasing again.
Indeed, Brighty, we have come a long way from the darkness of our demise and the very long period away from top-flight football.
Sadly, I can't even look at our previous promotion, with Marcelo and Radrizziani's tenure, as something that looked like it was sustainable. Our recruitment was dire with the exception of one or two decent players.
However, now it has a very different picture.
It definitely, to me, looks like it has the foundations for a promising future in the Premiership.
Some might not feel so convinced, and would rather see us spending more than we've got to buy flash Harry players, and expect fantastic results aligned with playing football like PSG or Bayern Munich.
Sorry, but this is not where we are, but where we are is undeniably on our way back.
5.) 08 Sep 2026 12:50:51
Remember it well, was there in with the monkey hanger fans. I'm sure many other Leeds fans were in there with me as could spot you all a mile off
6.) 08 Sep 2026 15:56:18
Err, OP, a bit unfair of you saying PR Radz and Uncle Victor only signed one or two "decent" players.
Raphinha, for starters, is by far and away the most gifted player Leeds United have had in the past 20-plus years, and one of the best and most consistently dazzling in Europe over the past 6 years, in my opinion.
And, not forgetting, my other faves Jack Harrison, Dan James and Rodrigoal, who were/are more than decent.
7.) 08 Sep 2026 18:28:05
As I said, Baz, one or two. That would be Raphinha and possibly Rodrigo, but definitely not Harrison or James, but that's yer lot.
8.) 08 Sep 2026 18:50:19
I will buy you a dictionary, OP.
Decent means acceptable.
Whereas.
Raphina arguably world class for Barca and exceptional for Leeds in EPL.
Rodrigoal very good for Leeds in EPL.
Harrison very good for Leeds in EPL.
9.) 09 Sep 2026 14:43:47
No need for dictionaries, Baz, it's simple. Raphinha was the only "decent" signing during this very anti climax and very disappointing period.
You can dress it up if you want with Jackie & Danny, good Championship players, but they never cut it in the Premiership.
26 Sep 2026 07:37:12
Cheers for the info, Dunelm. There should defo be a time limit on setting the punishment! Can't see them taking forever tho, given everyone will be waiting in the wings to have a legal bite of Citeh themselves!
25 Sep 2026 20:08:22
Isn't the appeal process under the same time constraints as the Southampton one? i.e. has to be concluded in a set number of days? Both appeal and ruling.
23 Sep 2026 07:36:04
Good shouts there, Ealing!
Add Paul Okon as the replacement for
Olivier Dacourt!
Peter Barnes never delivered on his hype and price.
Ian Rush, Mark Hateley, and Lee Sharpe.
I'd add a question mark over Michael Brown; at least he got stuck in and battled, when that tenacity was severely lacking in the team.
20 Sep 2026 15:59:31
Aaaand that one's put to bed! Two and a half full EPL minutes!
19 Sep 2026 14:37:12
Maybe Corkster, and I did wanna see him too, but do understand why DJ got the nod first.
26 Sep 2026 11:12:51
The season has started, so I can't see that relegation is an option, unless its from the end of the season, which would also be daft.
Based on Luton, I'm having a guess at 30 points, transfer ban, and whopping fine!
25 Sep 2026 20:13:54
The recruitment guy must be in for a bonus I reckon. Can't recall his name tho!?
25 Sep 2026 20:11:09
I also see where you're coming from, Feath, but will get no pleasure in seeing him play for Harrogate Town! ??.
25 Sep 2026 13:27:47
Think you're spot on their re Wilson, Cleggy. We see it frequently, where a player tries so hard to get the fans onside immediately, and tries too hard, rather than just relaxing, maintaining composure, and allowing their natural play to come to the fore. I'm sure Farkey will be reassuring him, and banging that message home!
