Some chatter that Man United are close to signing Darlow.
1.) 09 Jul 2026 18:37:56
Yep, seems like he's gone there, strange one, to say the least.
2.) 09 Jul 2026 18:47:37
Mess to Arsenal and Darlow to Devon, what odds would that have been a year ago?
3.) 09 Jul 2026 19:23:53
Looks like a done deal..
An absolute disaster for Leeds United imo.
4.) 09 Jul 2026 20:10:41
Must have something in the pipeline. We can't have Alex Cairns as number 1, as lovely as he is, particularly if Perri goes to Torino as reported.
5.) 10 Jul 2026 08:17:58
Torino interested, but hasn't made any bid yet. Not sure they have the money.
6.) 10 Jul 2026 08:24:21
Thought Torino was a loan?
7.) 10 Jul 2026 10:03:10
Torino thought they had a cheap deal for Orlando Gill all sealed up, but his performance at the World Cup has pushed up interest and the price. They haven't the money, so agree with Aus that they likely want a loan deal.
8.) 10 Jul 2026 11:34:38
Gill was rumoured to be going to Devon, but if they have Lammens as No1 and Darlow as No2, will they want him as well? Instead, he could come to us and be No1 here, with maybe Zetterstrom as No2.
9.) 10 Jul 2026 14:34:43
Jr., meds time mate.
10.) 10 Jul 2026 14:45:07
6 months ago, if I'd speculated on KD going to Devon and Mes to Arse, you might have said the same - who knows!
11.) 10 Jul 2026 20:06:48
Done deal.
Leeds United officially announce on its website that last season LUFC fourth choice gk (and currently second choice gk) . Alex Cairns signs a new 2 year contract.
Okey dokey.
12.) 11 Jul 2026 08:08:17
Just noticed that Cairns is only 33 years old, 2 years younger than KD. Doesn't make him good enough for No1 or even No2, but just found it surprising.
13.) 11 Jul 2026 09:15:08
I honestly thought he was in his 40s! But yes he's not Premier League quality!
There must be a plan behind the scenes.
14.) 12 Jul 2026 14:24:35
He's not even Championship quality. He must be a giggle in the changing room!
06 Jul 2026 12:00:00
Mandela Keita from Parma rumoured to be our new target after moving on from Shea Charles.
1.) 06 Jul 2026 12:21:36
Everton want to pay £21m, but payments would be over a long period, and Parma wants more. Atlanta are interested, but won't pay the price. He would be a good alternative to Charles, but probably won't be any cheaper.
2.) 06 Jul 2026 13:26:31
56 days to the end of the transfer window.
My guess is 4 or 5 incoming signings max.
3.) 06 Jul 2026 13:34:23
I'd be happy with that.
4.) 06 Jul 2026 13:39:58
Prob 3 goalkeepers, as can't be short on the bench. Wilson and a cb.
5.) 06 Jul 2026 14:13:41
No striker signing, Aus?
That's a must get!
6.) 06 Jul 2026 14:47:51
Very funny, Aus!. ????
7.) 07 Jul 2026 07:50:20
Isn't Keita a defensive midfielder? Need a couple more of them. Not.
8.) 07 Jul 2026 15:22:25
He is Aus, which would suggest a sale or sales. Would be Gruev and/or Tanaka, I guess?
04 Jul 2026 11:12:05
The Wilson delay is due to him being at a training camp in Portugal with other PL pros, reportedly. At least he'll start fit and raring to go!
1.) 04 Jul 2026 13:08:35
Gets tapped up and signs elsewhere would be typical Leeds.
2.) 04 Jul 2026 13:09:32
Yes but Jack Harrison does that every season...
3.) 04 Jul 2026 13:51:56
.. A jolly on the Algarve beaches?
As for Jackie.. one of the fittest at LUFC during the Bielsa era.
4.) 04 Jul 2026 13:55:22
Very true, Baz, in that style of play he looked decent. In the slow tippy tappy type we play, not so much.
5.) 04 Jul 2026 15:35:33
Wilson was injured at the end of the season, so maybe he's just trying to get up to speed before the season starts. Maguire and Madison are out there with a few others.
6.) 04 Jul 2026 15:39:46
Should have said before training starts which I'd probably in the next ten days.
7.) 04 Jul 2026 14:16:27
Proper training needed for whole team. Send them to Siberia. Toughen up boys.
Bloody Portugal. Wussies.
8.) 05 Jul 2026 17:21:14
Ya, he's frequenting the dentist's chair nightly. ?
30 Jun 2026 19:53:25
Sell on clause included in the deal that's seen Pasc sign for BHA. No idea of percentages from anything I've read.
1.) 30 Jun 2026 21:25:54
From what Graham Smyth says in the YEP, it's 10% - if what he says is accurate.
17 Jun 2026 15:09:34
Fab Rom stating than someone is inbound to ER from the continent for a medical, which has already been booked!? Ooooh!
1.) 17 Jun 2026 16:13:50
Flight to East Leeds from Liege which happens to be where Lois Openda is from.
2.) 17 Jun 2026 16:24:34
Yay.
.Medical booked ..second only to contract signed.
3.) 17 Jun 2026 17:14:43
Too many examples of one happening but not the other, so caution is wise.
Dan James was the prime example; that was a real mess!
4.) 17 Jun 2026 17:31:07
Indeed, so true, Canada.
5.) 17 Jun 2026 20:23:51
As he's currently with Juventus, a flight from Turin may be a possibility.
6.) 18 Jun 2026 11:28:00
His hometown is Liege, so post season he may well be there. Of course, he could be anywhere, as could any player!

£17mill for Jayden Anthony shows the state of the market we're having to deal with! ?
1.) 05 Jul 2026 11:48:52
Plus £3m in add ons. ?
2.) 05 Jul 2026 12:47:15
To be fair, Brighty, he done well last season.
I do, however, see your point.
Southampton want 30 for Charles, a player who, in my opinion, has had one good half a season, the second half of last season. And that was in the Championship.
3.) 05 Jul 2026 13:11:47
Yep, agree he did well, Corkey, and I like him as a player, but if that's his market price, then the market is even more maaaaad than I thought!
4.) 05 Jul 2026 13:38:09
Yep JA score 8 goals snd some asslsts in in an R fodder Burnley last season, that's quite impressive.
Leeds spent £15 million on SL last seez, we paid slightly too much imo.
Whereas, imo, £17 million on JA looks a fairly reasonable transfer fee.
5.) 05 Jul 2026 13:38:49
I hope we steer clear of Charles now. Not worth anything like £30m.
6.) 05 Jul 2026 13:42:36
I think that's a good buy for Anthony.
7.) 05 Jul 2026 17:19:50
If 17 million is now considered good value for Jayden, I am officially handing in my resignation as a fan.
8.) 05 Jul 2026 17:46:54
In today's market, 17 mill is a good price, but if you were him, would you come to us, as we didn't give him many minutes.
9.) 05 Jul 2026 18:03:39
Exactly, Whitey. With players going for well over £120 million,
Brentford, who, like Brighton and Bournemouth, are pretty shrewd in the transfer market,
are getting good value at a mere £17 million for JA, a player who delivered in the EPL last season, scoring 8 EPL goals for blooming Burnley,
four of which were against 2nd place Citeh, 3rd place Man U and 4th place Villa.
JA deserves zero scorn from anyone.
10.) 05 Jul 2026 18:09:23
Talking of signing players for good value.
Jaidon Anthony looks an absolute bargain when compared to the Leeds United notorious signing of Jean-Kevin Augustin.
He cost nearly £40 million in total, playing a mere 43 minutes (nearly £1 million per minute) . ?
11.) 05 Jul 2026 20:06:01
Jebus H., you gonna start talking red flags and Leif Davis again as well, Baz?
17m is not good value, imo. Like I said, he did quite well last season, but let's not go googling more stats to make out like he ripped up the division!
And, like I said, I liked him, so no one here has served any "scorn"!
12.) 05 Jul 2026 20:52:18
Ooh Baz, JKA!
Just sent a cold shiver down my spine!!
13.) 05 Jul 2026 21:10:45
Red flags, Brighty? Forgot all about them. Well remembered. ?
Yep, Cleggy, pal, cold shiver indeed.. shocking.
14.) 06 Jul 2026 08:36:01
Spoke to a contact at Burnley who's seen every home match and a few away matches that Anthony played in the Championship and the PL in the last two seasons.
He said he scored about 8 goals in each season, but he couldn't put in consistently good performances week in, week out.
You never knew what you were going to get.
He thinks Burnley did well to get £17m plus three in add-ons.
15.) 06 Jul 2026 09:27:56
Let's see how well Burnley get on without JA this seez.. (8 goals and 8 assists in Champo 24/25 also) .
..
16.) 06 Jul 2026 11:23:26
Or let's not, coz we are PL, and they are champo, so not interested in the slightest.
03 Jul 2026 17:14:48
Rennes about to sign Cressy for £30m inc add ons. Nice little 15% cash back on that one!
1.) 03 Jul 2026 17:31:08
Always rated Cressy.
2.) 03 Jul 2026 18:26:01
Agree, Baz, but he did lack a yard of pace.
3.) 03 Jul 2026 18:49:45
Really, Baz, you should have mentioned it. ?
4.) 03 Jul 2026 19:02:26
Hehe lol. ? Class that was especially for you.
Yes, LUFCfeath, I agree.. He lacks pace.
But he has so many other attributes.
120% er effort.
Supreme in the air, in both boxes.
Very strong physically, a tough tackler.
Good positioning.
Exceptionally good at blocking shots.
Scores quite a few goals, too.
Wish he was still a Leeds United player.
5.) 03 Jul 2026 19:03:07
That's £3.93M - not to be sneezed at.
01 Jul 2026 07:19:36
Arsenal looking to snap up Mez on a free. Good luck to him, I say!
1.) 01 Jul 2026 07:56:06
Wow. That's weird.
2.) 01 Jul 2026 10:45:56
I always said there's a good GK in there somewhere. It just needs to be brought out, mebbe Arse will be more successful than us doing so. He was unfairly blamed for some errors that were not his fault, and the defenders (especially Joe Rodon) lost confidence in him, so he had to go. A fresh start is just what he needs.
3.) 01 Jul 2026 11:49:31
Unfairly blamed, JR ??
He made some right howlers!
4.) 01 Jul 2026 12:17:05
I really hope I'm wrong but I can't see Mez playing at a high level anymore.
5.) 01 Jul 2026 12:26:08
Read my words. Unfairly blamed for some errors that were not his fault, some, not all.
6.) 01 Jul 2026 19:05:58
Mez will show us what we're missing. I like him, hope he gets on well.
12 Jun 2026 08:22:58
Kevin Sinfield reportedly set to be Knighted in the forthcoming honours list! About time, and well deserved!
1.) 12 Jun 2026 08:38:43
Much prefer Rugby Union to Rugby League, but well done him.
As for football would love to see Howard Wilkinson upgraded from an OBE to Sir.
And, LUFC and others associated with LUFC, please hurry up with what would be a very well deserved commissioned statue of Leeds United legend Howard Wilkinson.
2.) 12 Jun 2026 11:19:15
Long overdue.
3.) 12 Jun 2026 11:36:59
Knighthoods seem to be handed out like no tomorrow these days.
Sinfield, to be fair, has done some serious charity work though.
4.) 12 Jun 2026 11:55:35
Not much of a rugby fan (either code) , but very well deserved. I was very annoyed when he came second in BBC SPOTY a few years ago to Andy Murray, who'd already won it once anyway.
Definition of Rugby - a game for men with odd-shaped balls.
5.) 12 Jun 2026 13:58:11
Rugby is a game for barbarians played by gentlemen. Football is a game for gentlemen played by barbarians. (Oscar Wilde) .
6.) 12 Jun 2026 14:00:55
100% class. Behaviours.
7.) 12 Jun 2026 14:03:24
Rugby Union, for me, is better than majority of football games nowadays.
So many of today's games are s****.
8.) 12 Jun 2026 17:26:47
Totally agree, Chris. Best sport in the world is Union!
9.) 13 Jun 2026 13:39:07
I am not a fan of the honors system, but Kevin Sinfield is deserving of the recognition.
10.) 13 Jun 2026 17:21:38
Too right feath. The current system is more corrupt than FIFA! That div Khan has destroyed one of the greatest Capitals in the world, and been knighted for it. Disgraceful.
11 Jun 2026 08:32:53
2 goals from BA! Galactico?
1.) 11 Jun 2026 09:31:39
Seriously!
Thanks, Brendan. It is my birthday today, but I never thought I would get something as rare as this. ?
2.) 11 Jun 2026 09:37:54
Where and when? Am I missing something, or just plain stupid, or both lol.
3.) 11 Jun 2026 10:03:34
Well done to BA.
4.) 11 Jun 2026 10:19:52
Like Aus said, where & when?
5.) 11 Jun 2026 13:06:20
Happy birthday Class.
6.) 11 Jun 2026 15:16:47
Have a great day, Class!
7.) 11 Jun 2026 15:42:02
Cheers, fellas. Year of birth matches my age today, 63 years young!
8.) 11 Jun 2026 15:43:42
All the best, Class!
9.) 11 Jun 2026 16:38:48
Cheers, Brighty.
10.) 11 Jun 2026 19:59:24
Had us going there, Brighty. Have a good one.
I wish I could match my birth year to my age. I'd quite like to be 49 again.
12 Jul 2026 06:24:29
He's reportedly told Saints that he wants to come to us.
07 Jul 2026 15:22:25
He is Aus, which would suggest a sale or sales. Would be Gruev and/or Tanaka, I guess?
06 Jul 2026 14:47:51
Very funny, Aus!. ????
02 Jul 2026 07:49:46
Agreed, Dunelm!
01 Jul 2026 20:58:33
I think Darlow has been told that we can't guarantee him the #1 jersey, and that's why this has stalled. By many accounts, we have agreed personal terms with Suzuki, and will be bidding £30m in the coming days.
11 Jul 2026 05:37:51
Maybe KD did sign as #1?
10 Jul 2026 06:20:15
Nor should we have Alf, if he was gonna be #2 anyway.
09 Jul 2026 20:48:41
But you're not bothered that he's naffing off over the Pennines despite Leeds resurrecting his career, and giving him his opportunity at #1? If Lammens stays fit he'll benchwarn for the rest of his days. Maybe just me, but that says more about him than it does anyone else at our club!
09 Jul 2026 20:36:26
Well, one is as good as gone! Maybe we can PX DJ for someone on a lower salary?
08 Jul 2026 14:52:05
How does that chant go again, Aus? ??
