Apparently if the West Yorkshire mass tram system doesn't get the go ahead the Elland Rd redevelopment will halt after the west stand has been completed.
1.) 16 Jun 2026 13:45:55
The Leeds Tram is as rare as unicorn s***.
2.) 16 Jun 2026 16:39:59
Where's that gem come from Cork?
3.) 16 Jun 2026 18:09:06
Bryn Law.
4.) 16 Jun 2026 20:57:51
Well I'm nearly 49, born and raised in Leeds, still work in town and they've been talking about the tram in some guise or another ever since I can remember. Lates date I hear mentioned is 2040. It's easy for councillors to to talk about things happening that far away because they know they won't be in the same job by then.
Half of town is pedestrian now so where is it going to go? Not happening in my lifetime (I mean I'm overweight, get no exercise and drink too much so 2040 could still be on!)
5.) 16 Jun 2026 22:43:59
The tram system has now got the go ahead, albeit with phase 1 not scheduled to start til the late 2030s, so are they going to start the North Stand extension as soon as the West Stand is completed, or wait til the late 2030s - hypothetical question? However, since we in Britain are piss poor at delivering such projects on time and on budget, the chances of it ever happening are still in doubt.
6.) 18 Jun 2026 03:47:10
OP is totally wrong.
02 Jun 2026 20:33:19
West Ham want over 80 mill for Fernandez. Surely no club will pay anywhere near that for a player who was only half decent in a relegation team?
Ok, maybe he was excellent in the games I didn’t watch but watching the Hammers quite a lot towards the end of the season he was decent at best.
If he’s worth 80 mill then Stach is worth 120 million and Gruev is worth 30.
He’ll probably go on to be the next Xavi now!
1.) 03 Jun 2026 07:26:48
He's a cracking player and still young, but you're right; they're tekkin the wazz a lot there! Will go for just over 50, I reckon.
2.) 03 Jun 2026 22:39:38
For £80 million I'd expect him to score against Raya from four. Yards out, let alone three.
3.) 04 Jun 2026 13:23:51
Forest reject bid from Man City for Anderson. Allegedly looking for £100m plus. Might happen if City were willing to spend well above that on Grealish. Makes the fees for Amps and Stach absolute bargains. Good, he's staying for a few more years.
10 Jul 2025 22:15:56
Apparently Leeds AND Sunderland are looking at Boga. Knowing our luck we'll win this battle as he's proper pony!
1.) 11 Jul 2025 03:51:58
Just get Solomon in. He ain’t getting game time at spuds. Just buy him. Stop stuffing around.
Boga 21 games 1 goal 1 assist. That better not be the level we are considering.
2.) 11 Jul 2025 07:04:18
Agree with Aus. Boga's return last year was poor for both goals and assists and his scoring record over his career isn't good. Solomon had the chance of a long run of games last season and showed what he can do with both goals and assists. Even when he was subbed and didn't like it he came back with another performance. Kudus already signed by Spurs and rumours that they've triggered Gibbs White release clause and medical booked. Solomon won't get much if a look in.
There is talk that Trabz have bid £7m for Boga. Even at that price I'd rather pay double for Solomon.
3.) 11 Jul 2025 08:39:43
Get Manor!
4.) 11 Jul 2025 09:39:45
We need better than Solomon to stay up, he won't be playing Plymouth and Swansea next season
I know for a fact the club are aiming higher.
5.) 11 Jul 2025 13:09:11
6ft 4?
6.) 11 Jul 2025 14:43:12
It’s got to be telling you lads, as soon as we did nt go straight back in for him speaks for its self not strong enough, be exactly like aronsen, little push and he s over, want somebody bit bigger stronger on the ball got to be loads out there, but the thing that’s getting me going again is Leeds as every window that comes along linked with everyone they saying we’re linked to diouf, another senaglise gent and he s the one we should be buying young, can play in 4 positions absolutely killed saka when played England the other day but Leeds and the gent that is mr underwood says no because he s worth 21 million come on for them players play anywhere you ve got to spend.
7.) 15 Jul 2025 19:54:24
But lads that’s Solomon s league come on you must be barking if you really think he would do it in premiership seriously its different gravy you would be better off going with someone like boga who has more scope to improve unless Leeds gets this right we will be back in the wilderness again and as hard as it is now to get deals done it’s going to be twice as tough, but I still think 3 cracking deals have passed us by like if we’re scouting players but then other teams go for them we will simply pull out, that ain’t the way it works if you ve done your work and scouted them then buy them.
05 Jun 2025 22:41:14
Hope the Paixao rumours are true and we manage to sign him. Great talent.
1.) 06 Jun 2025 06:30:43
He would fit perfectly with Solomon and James. Him as a 10 would cause serious headaches for their defence.
2.) 06 Jun 2025 08:42:24
Arsenal now looking likely to make an offer.
3.) 06 Jun 2025 13:21:25
That seems to be the way, Leeds get interested in a player and a bigger club swoop in and take him.
The big teams fear Leeds rising to their former glory, and for good reason.
4.) 06 Jun 2025 15:25:47
Agree mot. Very steep hill mate. Bit by bit. Survive. Improve and attract. Easy inninit.
5.) 06 Jun 2025 17:10:16
Could all just be smoke screens for our real targets? Look at Ao for instance?
05 Jun 2025 14:37:56
We may go back in for Matt O'Riley at Brighton?
Tried to get him from Celtic before he signed for the seagulls. Good player and would be a massive upgrade on Aaronson.
1.) 05 Jun 2025 16:10:43
have we been linked Corkey or are you suggesting it?
2.) 05 Jun 2025 17:33:00
I've read that we are still interested, and he is unhappy with his role there.
3.) 05 Jun 2025 17:58:19
Just suggesting.

Great to have a lady football pundit who came across well and knew what she was talking about. Ellen White by the way. She done this evening's Sweden Holland game.
1.) 20 Jun 2026 21:44:11
Yeah, she talks sense when I've listened to her.
Did Ellen pick up today on Sweden's defensive failings, including, regrettably at times, our own Gabi not tracking back effectively, not really stopping crosses effectively, that led to some of the goals for Holland?
Said it before, but Gabi imo is somewhat of a weak link defensively at LB / LWB for Leeds United, and today for Sweden.
He's no Cooper or Dorigo, that's for sure.
2.) 20 Jun 2026 23:11:03
I like Gabby, but he did have a bad game tonight. He did have Dutch players doubling up on him a lot of the time, which was tough for any full back to handle, but could have done better.
3.) 21 Jun 2026 00:14:42
Also relating to that game, why did we spend ages on what everyone could see was going to be a fruitless pursuit of Strand Larsen in last summer's transfer window, when we could have landed Brobbey for half the price before Sunderland snuck in and signed him at almost the last minute?
4.) 21 Jun 2026 13:45:03
If full backs stopped crosses into the box, then there would be no crosses into the box. It's silly when people say a FB should stop the crosses.
5.) 21 Jun 2026 14:02:59
Come off it, Corkey. Blocking crosses is, and should be, a big part of defending.
Mastering blocking crosses is all about aggressive positioning, closing down the winger, reading the game and sharp footwork.
You're more than old enough to have watched Tony Dorigo; he was the blooming master of blocking crosses!
6.) 21 Jun 2026 20:35:36
Baz, I watched the game and Gabi was left alone and isolated a few times.
You do seem to have a vendetta against our left back.
7.) 21 Jun 2026 21:56:40
Corkey, I shudder at the thought of Farkey reverting back to a back 4 as it is.
Even more so if Gabi is our LB. He is little better than Firpo defensively.
Leeds seriously need first team player upgrades.

That's some stadium tonight! Seattle was always known as the best in the USA.
1.) 19 Jun 2026 23:05:09
My mother is from a small city a little east of Seattle, so I've been through a lot en route. It's a lovely city and stadium.
2.) 20 Jun 2026 02:06:06
When it's not raining - lol.
3.) 20 Jun 2026 07:55:02
I went to Seattle years ago. Hated it. Felt unsafe and slummy. My ma and pa liked it. Never understood why. Stadium looked awesome though.
17 Jun 2026 21:28:15
Emma Hayes knows more about football than Lee Dixon that's for sure.
1.) 17 Jun 2026 23:08:12
Not a big ask tho. ?
2.) 17 Jun 2026 23:13:20
So do I! ?
3.) 17 Jun 2026 23:24:27
But why was she standing in her kitchen?
4.) 18 Jun 2026 01:13:37
So they could grill her on tactics.
15 Jun 2026 20:08:29
Lukaku, believe it or not, has a better goals record than Harry Kane has in international football.
Really surprised me, as Lukaku I always thought was just decent, whereas Kane is a proper world class striker.
This probably shows how many easy goals are to be had in international football?
15 Jun 2026 19:43:40
I asked Google to look up Hornicek, the Braga keeper, as apparently Leeds have an interest in him. Whatever way I said it into my phone microphone, a list of Braga escort sites popped up!
Horny chicks Braga was in the search box. ?
1.) 15 Jun 2026 20:53:12
I saw where that was going right away. ??
2.) 15 Jun 2026 20:56:40
Won't mind if I borrow that excuse, will you, Corkey? ?
3.) 15 Jun 2026 21:08:33
The problem is, fellas, I googled Hornicek Cork straight after. ????
4.) 16 Jun 2026 06:48:11
Very funny, Corkey!
"Deletes browsing history..."
5.) 16 Jun 2026 16:27:24
Hull put in a bid of around £12m.
6.) 16 Jun 2026 17:07:12
Google Braga, and you'll find it's Spanish for knickers.
22 Jun 2026 13:25:55
Definitely would be a solid signing, but not at 25 million.
Price tags are soon forgotten if the player does the bizz though.
21 Jun 2026 20:13:14
Why pay 20k when you can stick him on a train £100!
21 Jun 2026 20:10:29
Because of the cost, Alf.
Stick him on the fast train, roughly two hours, I'd say.
21 Jun 2026 16:17:54
Not from Cardiff surely?
21 Jun 2026 13:45:56
Private jet? ?

17 Jun 2026 20:48:32
It was the same at the last WC, Cleggy.
I've never seen a more selfish player on a football pitch. Is he so obsessed with breaking individual records instead of putting his country first?
17 Jun 2026 12:20:17
What is surprising is Byram is on nearly double Gruev's wage! Longstaff, the second-highest earner, is on over 80k a week!
Bournaw on the same wage as Stach?
