See we’re linked with Brighton keeper Carl Rushworth. Have seen this boy play at senior level since he was 17 years old, he’s a fantastic keeper. Be amazed if Brighton sell him, with rumours over Ver-Bruggen leaving but we should definitely out bid Coventry or anyone else for him, future England international, he’s that promising already, better than Trafford in my eyes.
1.) 13 Apr 2026 19:43:53
I heard great things about him last season and apparently he's been great this season.
20 million should do it by all accounts?
2.) 14 Apr 2026 00:24:26
Best friend is a Cov fan, so I do watch a number of their games.
He looks like he'd be a step up on Perri for sure.
3.) 16 Apr 2026 19:32:35
He's not the biggest keeper but he's always done well and is liked wherever he's played.
He's 24, played nearly 200 games, but not one for Brighton. He must be getting to the point where he has a decision to make if he wants to further his career.

Spurs allegedly have agreed a new loan for Solomon with Fiorentina believed to have included a buy-option clause worth around £8.7m in the agreement.
Seems good value, but we probably have higher priorities following Rodons injury and the striker cover requirements.
1.) 02 Jan 2026 15:54:10
I think we got Okafor instead of Solomon but 8-9 certainly a bargain imo.
A new CB and a 10 definitely higher priorities.
2.) 02 Jan 2026 16:26:53
Don’t really need another winger given the new system.
3.) 02 Jan 2026 21:37:24
Maybe we don't but Willy G isn't getting much game time (and I wish he was) and if we're not going to play him then he could be sold at a big profit. At £8m Solomon would be a good, cheaper replacement. MS came up with goals at the right time last season.
4.) 04 Jan 2026 20:29:42
Don't forget Gnonto came with a huge sell on clause (40% I believe) so we won't make as much from a sale as you'd hope.
02 Dec 2025 18:07:00
Read with interest there is a short recall clause on Joffy in Jan window, now he’s scoring goals for fun, but the club wanted to sell but couldn’t agree a deal.
Now talk of £8million offer, I loved jiffy sadly I’m not convinced he’s epl level.
But £8million doesn’t get you a lot these days, but we need goals from somewhere.
1.) 03 Dec 2025 00:02:10
Not prem league level. Take the 8 and buy Solomon.
2.) 03 Dec 2025 14:21:13
Should have bought Solomon in the summer Aus, cannot understand for one second why we didn't get the deal done.
Well I can, our recruitment team are Pony.
3.) 03 Dec 2025 15:26:00
He didn't want to move up north. His family are in London.
4.) 03 Dec 2025 17:38:11
But he's on the continent now, that well known part of London.
5.) 05 Dec 2025 02:26:09
Maybe he was being polite and just hates Leeds.
Thinking about it, rothwell said he wouldn't sign permanently at Leeds because his family were in sarrfampton. then he moved to Glasgow.
Hmm.
29 Jun 2025 07:46:19
Linked with Madhi Camara, whose stats are far better than Diaras last season and could be half the price.
Probably clickbait but looks a player either the 8 or 10 position if true.
1.) 29 Jun 2025 11:12:10
Read that one too, plus Viera's not so high opinion od Diarra! At 30mill, we may have dodged a bullet? Dunno personally tbf!
16 Dec 2024 22:24:31
Ben Godfrey linked again probably only because of history with Farkey, think we can do much better and definitely not EPL level for me.
1.) 17 Dec 2024 12:03:41
Indeed Class.

After being knocked out from the Falsified Accounts Cup, we are able place all our remaining energies into winning our remaining three games.
For perspective, the winner of the cheaters False Accounts Cup receives £2.1 million for every place higher we finish in the league is worth circa £2.7million.
1.) 11 May 2026 10:26:28
Let's hope for an extra 8.1 then class. ?
2.) 11 May 2026 13:43:16
Ha - like it, Class.
3.) 11 May 2026 16:50:16
Leeds are currently 16th ..
Win our final 3 matches, finish 9th.
Equates to £14.7 million extra prize money. ?
4.) 11 May 2026 19:52:17
I want a performance, not just tonight, but over the next three games. We need to finish on a high and take it into next season, not just for the money for a higher placing, but the momentum and confidence that securing mid table brings.
We're not under pressure, but Spurs are, and by the final game West Ham might be under the cosh as well. Hopefully the squad have not been sorting out their Summer holidays today.
10 May 2026 12:19:27
Hoping for a "day of days" by close of play today, maybe the Eds will open up the "live chat" function for the Spam vs Arse game be great to celebrate with fellow posters on the Site?
{Ed033's Note - Leeds Live chat open for 16:30 Spam vs Arse game today.
1.) 10 May 2026 12:35:52
Thanks Ed033 much appreciated, even though I may be alone ?
2.) 10 May 2026 14:14:44
I will be asleep, Class, but will likely wake up about 4am to check result. Fairly confident tbh. West Ham haven't the quality and it's too important to Arsenal.
3.) 10 May 2026 14:24:20
Will try and keep the noise to a minimum, Aus.

Lurve it, JR.
09 May 2026 07:01:22
Anyone think Wilson Isador worth a punt? Very unhappy at Sunderland and price would be within our budget?
1.) 09 May 2026 08:02:36
Class.. Just seen the BBC gossip column, apparently where favourite to sign Lois Opienda, Juventus striker!
1 goal, 2 assists in 24 matches!
Surely better out there!
2.) 09 May 2026 13:10:48
Openda's not a big centre forward, but a very quick, hard working striker who presses well and had a good record at Leipzig. Sometimes, you move to another club, and the system is completely different, and it doesn't work. He can play across the front, and might be more suited to Leeds than Juventus. Loan to buy?
3.) 09 May 2026 14:19:53
Good post, Dune.
Indeed, Openda's goalscoring stats at his three previous clubs, Leipzig, Lens, prior to this season's loan to Juventus, are impressive.
172 appearances.
82 goals.
4.) 09 May 2026 15:06:59
Isidor, I'm a fan of, yep.
Openda, we could try from a position of strength - ie a loan with an option NOT an obligation. We've been the victim of loans with obligations, or sending them out with options only, not obligations, for far too long. Just cos a player didn't make it in Italy (even Dennis Bergkamp, once upon a time, didn't have the best spell in Serie A) doesn't mean they're bad. He's a pacy centre forward who can operate wide. He profiles similarly to Okafor, though Okafor is more a natural wide man.
I think we could use two new forwards. This assumes we sell Piroe, so a net of one addition after we replace him. I like the idea of a pacey option like Openda. Piroe's the, in the Championship, Dimitar Berbatov is good down there, less effective in prem. I'd want one pacey finisher and one tall battering ram that leans into the long throw set piece tactic.
I've said before, but soon-to-be free agent Jonas Wind would be an awesome target.
Signing Wind (free) .
And Openda (loan with a £25m option or performance-triggered obligation - say 10 league goals and Leeds stay up) would be excellent business.
Sell Piroe for £10-15m to a champ leader (probably closer to 10m) , and it's a minimal outlay. But that would all be too logical.
If we don't go for Openda, a bid for Isidor is worthwhile, but he's not as good as Openda by a long way, and Sunderland will want £20m.
The bad news is that, to get the sort of deal for Openda that makes sense, normally means waiting through the window, as Juventus will want to try and do better. As the window closes, they'd accept that if they can't do better. But they're not going to take that off the bat, and Leeds shouldn't buy too quickly in this situation.
5.) 09 May 2026 16:45:05
Great post, Ekb.
6.) 09 May 2026 17:16:28
I think the window last year was generally successful. We made a couple of early signings, and the rest spread over the remaining window. However, we seemed to get bogged down at times with players we were probably after but didn't get, Paixo being the most obvious example.
This year there won't be the same number of acquisitions, just the odd like for like replacements, and two or three more expensive key improvements. Striker and AM, for instance. I think it's essential that we have options and get in early rather than leave it until late in the window.
7.) 10 May 2026 01:20:51
Sounds logical to me, Ekb, so we'll probably do nothing like that. ?
09 May 2026 06:55:16
Little left field but asking Ed001s advice here, ejit who drinks in my local says he's a massive Liverpool fan but have my doubts, as he's bet on other teams, last night he's offering me 20/ 1 that Slot will be at Liverpool next season, only catch is, I have to nominate who I think will be his replacement for the odds, I'm saying Alonso Do I make the bet Ed001?
{Ed001's Note - that is a tough one. Hughes worked with Iraola at Bournemouth before joining Liverpool, so he might well look to him, especially as Iraola wouldn't interfere in recruitment. But Xabi Alonso was first choice before Slot, so he is the most likely, they have held talks during the season with him. Personally though, I would not make the bet as I don't gamble!}
1.) 09 May 2026 07:19:17
Thanks Ed001 I'm not a frequent gambler but 20/1 is too good to turn down, thrown me with the legacy Iraola connection as had assumed he would return to Spain, thanks for feedback.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. It is nice odds.}
2.) 09 May 2026 17:34:06
Feeling more confident after today sorry Ed001
{Ed001's Note - no worries mate, we were awful again. It amazes me that he has a job still.}
3.) 09 May 2026 19:04:15
I read from a newspaper somewhere that Xabi had an agreement to join Liverpool but they chose slot, and it upset him, and he decided he wouldn't be going to Liverpool after slot.
Obviously, money talks, and I imagine Liverpool could be a good option for him, but if he fails in his next job, his success at Leverkusen would be watered down a little.
{Ed001's Note - that's not true, Xabi rejected Liverpool.}
4.) 10 May 2026 00:51:29
Only what I read, and I know newspapers are full of ?, so do you know or have any idea why he rejected them?
{Ed001's Note - yes, it was at the end of the season after they had won the league and he wanted to take them into Europe.}
04 May 2026 17:33:47
What a disgrace of a Club, Team Chelsea are these days, stealing a living, and only turning up to play when there’s a trophy on the line, hope fellow cheaters Citeh smash them in the FA Cup.
1.) 04 May 2026 19:30:21
Clubs don't win trophies with that policy in football class.
Still sticks in my throat that we didn't beat Cheatski.
Looking forward to us thrashing them again at Elland Rd. next season.
2.) 05 May 2026 01:11:22
Chelski are only 5pts ahead of us with 3 games to go. We may yet overtake them.
3.) 05 May 2026 08:17:46
Wouldn't that be fantastic, JR. Six straight losses in the league for Cheatski now, bottom of the form table, and away at Liverpool next.
4.) 05 May 2026 08:45:37
And long may it continue.
5.) 05 May 2026 12:39:17
That would be so funny, JR!
6.) 05 May 2026 16:10:34
Chelski's performance yesterday was as bad as Villa's on Sunday. Gift wrapped 3 points for the opposition.
06 Apr 2026 13:28:35
Wow! Four-year contract, take a bow, DJ's agent.
No doubt he’s a force at Championship level, Baz, but we haven’t seen anything like a level of consistency in the EPL.
The recurring hamstring and muscle abductor injuries are a concern, and while I wish the lad well and he’s been a good servant, especially in getting us promoted, I very much doubt the wisdom of awarding a four-year deal, especially with his more recent injury record.
06 Apr 2026 09:39:47
DJ, on the other hand, has a new abductor injury, which could keep him out for weeks. It has to be his last season at the club.
05 Apr 2026 23:18:18
Tight hamstring, Farke said, not thought to be serious, but deemed not worth the risk.
25 Jan 2026 22:27:38
Hadn’t realised he was injured Canada, the actual point I was trying to make is specifically for this season. Certainly until we’re established £30-40 on JSL seems a massive financial gamble and DCL and Namecheck have shown you don’t need to spend silly money to get a fair return.
Just need to get past this season and PSR regulations, whist not unsettling the team spirit, in my humble opinion.
25 Jan 2026 20:26:02
Personally, for THIS season rather than overpay for JSL I’d rather make an offer for Chris Wood, now well down the order at Florists.
10 May 2026 21:15:19
Never knew Baz had a problem groin area, Corkey. If it's lucky, give it a shot. Great player, our new Pablo.
10 May 2026 19:42:11
Agree Prime bloody nerve wracking but great to have so many posters on, brilliant result and well done to DF and the lads, thanks again to the Eds for enabling live chat', even if Brighty did sneak in late to see what action was available ?
10 May 2026 19:52:52
Talk of Odegaard leaving Arsenal this season happily fetch him myself and fo the sandwiches.
10 May 2026 14:24:20
