A question that popped up in my local LU committee meeting on Saturday night in my local fiine ale house. Have we recieved all the money from Barcelona for Rapha? Have they managed to pull their 574th financial lever yet?
1.) 23 Jan 2024 13:34:11
Doubt it Koch.
That’s why we are in such dire ffp territory and have no money to buy and are looking for loans. At the right price of course.
11 Jul 2023 22:31:42
Rumours are saying we won't be signing Mr Edwards this year, missed out on what could've been a bargain £35k for a young hungry 17 year old.

ILK ?. I remember Keith. What a finisher. At least the Beeb has an accurate acronym.

I've just watched the moment when Dallas told the team about his retirement. Emotional to say to least, never met him but he comes across as a fantastic honest top guy and it's obvious that everyone in that room was moved by his announcement.
What I did notice was the way Coops treated him, massive mutual respect between both of them. I know a few of us occasionally say bad things about Coops. The resapect he has from his team mates, the passion he has for the badge, that letter he wrote at the end of last season, he deserves a lot more respect from us fans. OK I admit he's never been a great player for us but at least he puts inm a shift on and off the pitch, he's Leeds through and through, he's towards the end of his career when most players in whatever sport performances drop off and whatever he does after this season, he'll always be welcomed back by me. 10 years service, part of the great team of Bielsa's, those are a couple of the qualities to become a true Leeds legend.
1.) 12 Apr 2024 12:38:31
100% agree with you Koch. In my opinion, he has a times been a great player for us. He is a lot better player than most give him credit for. He is an International player, with more caps than many a Leeds legend.
I expect plenty to disagree with me, but for me he should be respected for the person and the player he has been for us.
2.) 12 Apr 2024 13:56:02
I am not being divisive here Koch, but where in the context of all this is expectation? The way some talk about this stuff you would swear these men are playing for free!
When any of us are in receipt of a wage, there's a 2 way understanding that's FUNDAMENTAL between both parties
I have to work, be switched on all times, need to show a willingness+understanding of my job, in turn I am paid for all of the above
No when it comes to MULTI millionaire footballers lots of people seem to believe that these people are extra special, because they show a team ethic or that because they are a colleague in changing room that this is somehow other worldly ?
Maybe a certain core of footballers may not be the prima donas they are if you just expected as a pre requisite the things you say as the reward For Liam's kids kids probably being financially secure for him kicking a football for 15 years ?.

Stuart Dallas should be made an Ambassador for Leeds United!
A role model for all Leeds players and supporters.

Agree ani Koch. He is Leeds.

What Chris said.
8.) 12 Apr 2024 15:29:29
On the contrary Koch-man
I ain't miserable or in need of help, but I do find it very strange the way some people almost genuflect at mention of a footballer doing WHAT WE ALL do, day in day out
He's a multi millionaire, z thanks very much,
So keep on assuming your correct that I am miserable ranting mad man, locked in house complaining
I ain't, I love life, exercise all too regularly love gym, and just for asking here's proof.

What Chris said and what Baz said about Chris.
13.) 12 Apr 2024 16:13:33
Cooper from what I saw certainly showed leadership qualities and good character off the pitch as you'd expect as club captain but didn't truly show them on the pitch. Rarely saw him shout, get animated or be motivational. He isn't good enough or quick enough at this level. When he leaves the club next month, thank you for his service but goodbye ???.
14.) 12 Apr 2024 16:48:16
What George said and about what George said about what I said etc lol
LUFC legends for me have to be very good players indeed.
Coops a loyal servant
Anyone for tennis

What have football and money gotten to do with 1 another? ??.
16.) 12 Apr 2024 20:46:31
Chris Chris, I stand right with you on all you say in your post 100% post of the the Year??????.
17.) 12 Apr 2024 22:54:04
Chris, so anyone who earns a fortune, a footballer, movie star, musician, an entrepreneur can’t just be a great person, a leader or be applauded for their human qualities, because having all that money nullifies all their other qualities. Liam Cooper was the same person (ask the anyone in the Chesterfield team that won promotion) when he was a Chesterfield player earning £700 a week (probably less than you at the time) .
For my sins, an ex-Chesterfield player used to work for me and he said at the time that we had “robbed” them of their best player and he would soon be the Leeds Captain…his prophecy came to pass.
18.) 12 Apr 2024 23:33:35
Chris mate you seem very bitter towards the modern day footballer?
Ok they earn vast loads of cash as do people in other professions.
But they do make sacrifices to get to the top of their industry.
One last point. Money doesn’t make you happy or even content. But it sure takes the sting out of being poor!
19.) 13 Apr 2024 09:52:37
True Corky!
20.) 13 Apr 2024 10:00:27
CC. Just because they make big money, doesn’t mean they can’t show loyalty, build strong relationships with their coworkers, help each other, be committed to the cause, and care for their objectives. Likewise, it doesn’t mean that they do show any of the above qualities!
The money is irrelevant, just an added bonus, to those players, like Coops, like Stuarty, Archie, Amps and a host of others from days past, who are genuinely good characters and people, who actually feel blessed to do what they do, and be paid for it.
It also doesn’t mean that some of us can’t appreciate a good human being when we recognise one, and point it out!
21.) 13 Apr 2024 12:22:36
I think most people in today world would say they are over paid some at a very young age money cause them problems over the years just have to look over the past five years all all the cases that have been in a court look at Man Ut Trying to buy off witnesses because they’ve got the money to think they can do what they like so Chris is right stop giving him such a hard time and think about what he’s actually saying.
22.) 13 Apr 2024 13:32:24
Whitey, yes, they are overpaid. That is not in doubt here, for sure.

4 points from 12.

Positive as ever Baz. Nice one. Spot on.
5.) 11 Apr 2024 17:33:43
Baz you need to change your name to acumilous nimbus, The Greay Cloud.
In fact I reckon in your past life that would have been your American Indian name. "How", "me Grey Cloud". ?? hot a ring don't ya think.

Is this your final prediction then Baz, we won't get auto's - just 4 more points?
11.) 11 Apr 2024 18:20:43

. even when I predict Leeds thrash teams 5 nil it still doesn't please yer lol ? ?.

Welcome Dougie ?.
13.) 11 Apr 2024 18:30:02
As I said in comment above Ani if DF persists with same team selection, subs . then yes
Away matches especially DF must " rest " Bamford.
14.) 11 Apr 2024 19:05:33
Try being hopeful Baz, instead of doom and gloom.
If I want to be depressed and listen to constant moaning, I’ll call the Mother In Law, but this site is quickly getting like that again with the same few posters, getting really boring now.
15.) 11 Apr 2024 19:17:25
My predictions
Home win v Blackburn
Away wins v Middlesbrough and QPR
Home draw v Southampton
I have always stuck to my 2nd place finish, but I actually feel that I might have been too cautious and we will be crowned Champions
Keep the faith boys and girls ??.
16.) 11 Apr 2024 19:20:45
MG, OP, Brighty, Woody
Your rhetoric is not based on FACTS!
The reality is that 90% of this season I have predicted Leeds to WIN . repeat WIN. yes . often 3 Nil, 4 nil, 5 nil wins
IF anything I have been TOO OPTIMISTIC, too positive in my thinking
There is an erroneous misconception on here that I have been " negative" this season when the facts are a large percentage of my score predictions have been positive and optimistic
And when I have been negative it has been proven correct ( the 3 away defeats in December)
Keep it factual fellas.
{Ed025's Note - the defence rests, now M,lud can we hear from the prosecution.. :)
17.) 11 Apr 2024 19:21:43
Baz I’d rather have one of your magnificent 5-0 victory than, when we lose or even draw a game, everything is over and we are doomed.
It’s not just about singing when we are winning is about getting yer chin up having faith and singing when we don’t win.
Don’t forget, We Are Leeds
MOT ?.
18.) 11 Apr 2024 19:51:17
OP again zero facts from you just emotive misconceived erroneous rhetoric on your part
Take our 3 recent games and my continued positive optimistic predictions
Leeds draw with Watford .
' dooom and gloom ' from Baz?
On the contrary Baz then predicts Leeds beat Coventry
( Leeds regrettably lose to Coventry
Doom and gloom from Baz?
Not especially as Baz then predicts Leeds beat Sunderland.
But Leeds don't regrettably
And furthermore predicting a team finish in playoffs. with 4 games to go . and they currently are already in the playoffs is not ' Doom and gloom" .
Just your preconceived biased emotive erroneous narrative ?.
19.) 11 Apr 2024 20:00:05
Not really one for making prections, especially re: Leeds.
so all i have to say is i agree with the posters on here that it is time to give joseph some serious minutes.
20.) 11 Apr 2024 20:28:28

24.) 11 Apr 2024 21:40:19
I dunno man. Feels like keeping track of predictions is kinda lame tbh. Who cares lol.
25.) 11 Apr 2024 22:45:27
It’s not just the negativity Baz, it’s the constant bashing of the team and mostly the manager, who has performed better than most previous managers, overly optimistic my ?
You talk about FACTS (capitals as you have put) , and those are we are 3rd and in a great position, you predicted 6th (on the 3rd round of predictions, so the FACT is we are out performing your predictions, yet you still slate the team and the manager ?
You are contributing in turning this site into a moaning soundboard. If all you have is a moan (win, lose or draw) then fine, we all do it occasionally, but try to keep the number of moaning posts down, I reckon you are posting 20 times to everyone else’s 1 and somewhat monopolising the site.
26.) 12 Apr 2024 00:06:07
MG feel free to quote any post where I ' slate ' the team this season! Good luck you won't find one.
This is the emotive erroneous exaggerated narrative of which I speak.
As for the manager DF, he is certainly not above criticism and regrettably making selection mistakes which is costing crucial points at crunch time aimo
As for my prediction of 6th. if Leeds finish 3rd . its the same end result : playoffs.
27.) 12 Apr 2024 06:14:48
Like your favorite McKenna who also dropped two points at home. FACTS as you call it, well football isn’t a science Baz, you do have elements which can go against you in matches like luck, hitting the woodwork several times, referees poor decisions, even confidence especially at this defining part of the season. It’s not all about stats, if we are going by stats then we wouldn’t change anything because we were on a record breaking run from January 1st, but there’s no point in explaining that to you because you only want to criticize and you invite all the responses you get to your posts because it feels unjust to a lot of fans. But you of are of course are entitled to your opinions but don’t expect others to join in with your constant moaning on the very few occasions this season when we don’t win a game.
28.) 12 Apr 2024 06:45:47
I can’t talk facts when talking about the future Bazinald! Only you can do that! ???.
29.) 12 Apr 2024 06:56:22
Sorry, second reply. Very good, balanced, and fair observations there MG.
Maybe if you limited yourself to 3 moans per day Baz, it would be less grating to those of us who dare to dream?
PS Sir Bazinald’s new words of the week; emotive, and erroneous. (Added to word of the season; hyperbole. ) Next weeks words I suggest should be brought to us by the letter ‘D’….? (I’m sensing a new game for us all here, but I ain’t got an Eng dictionary any more! ?)
??????.
30.) 12 Apr 2024 07:02:09
Bottom line is that I have backed Leeds to win most matches and in 2024 have been very complimentary and uber happy with most of Leeds victories.
This very recent 4 game blip is regrettable but I still positively backed Leeds to win each of the 4 games .
Sorry my positivity doesn't fit your rhetoric
Pretty sure a lot of your pent up angst OP is down to little ole Ipswich and McKenna not having " gone ".
It annoys and frustrates you and seemingly clouds your judgement eg. on this thread for starters.
It is what is.
31.) 12 Apr 2024 07:09:31
Lol Brighty ??. I have to admit your posts have improved a lot in past 6 months .
reasonable ; usually well balanced
Good humour sometimes very
Less boisterous
Less hypocritical
You even toning down the hyperbole a tad. woah
Sincerely Sir Nostra Baz.
32.) 12 Apr 2024 08:40:00
I’m no more frustrated or disappointed when we don’t win like any other fan, but you have a tendency to take your frustrations that bit further by slagging off Farke who is doing a brilliant job so far.
With a 65% win rate since he arrived at our club it’s a pretty good start to his tenure. Is he a great Leeds manager? Of course not, he’s got to prove himself in the Premiership first and that’s not by winning the Premiership title, that’s by just keeping us there.
Most successful coaches stick with their method or formula and not changing it constantly when there’s a little blip or because when a irritated fan like you wants him to change it because you know more than him.
33.) 12 Apr 2024 08:52:40
Brighty, need to add ‘rhetoric’ to the list of Baz Buzzwords ??.
34.) 12 Apr 2024 11:16:18
Yeah I do like that one MG ; 'hypocrisy" is also a fave ; apt on here ?
OP ; but that's just it; DF did previously CHANGE it when it was not working by dropping Piroe permanently to bench.
And what's this nonsense you say that DF would be a ' success ' by just " keeping Leeds in EPL '?
Really? What happened to optimistic " Top 6 OP ' ??.
06 Apr 2024 16:14:28
This Cov TV commentator gets a little excited at times.
1.) 06 Apr 2024 17:02:07
Why wouldn’t he.
03 Apr 2024 12:38:38
Rumours once again that PL teams and now Really Mad and Bayern Sputnik are looking at young Archie.
IF we were to sell him for £50, maybe £100m similar too Bellingham then I could live with that. If/ when we get back to the PL, we need a proper LB and honestly believe that Gruev, Amps and Kammy are stronger in the CM positions.
never like to think of a young, talented, proper and passionate Leeds player leaving the club, we could use that sort of money to buy 3-4 Prem quality players and hopefully secure our future financially.
Let's have a heated debate.
1.) 03 Apr 2024 12:50:25
£50M? Why would any club want one of his toenail clippings?
2.) 03 Apr 2024 13:20:01
I say keep him. I don’t think he’s defensive midfield player anyway. I want to eventually see him in an attacking midfield role. He has the guile to develop into a defence unlocker. He’s also able to shoot (on target) from distance. If we go up I hope (and expect) the 49’ers spend to build on the existing talent rather than selling it to buy new players.
3.) 03 Apr 2024 13:32:13
Definitely no to selling him if we are promoted we need to keep players like him to show we have intent of saying up to compete with the top 6 clubs this would be a backwards step we also need to keep James, Summerville Robert’s, Rutter, Rodin, Ampadu, Piroe, Joseph, Kamare, Gruev, Anthony, Cresswell, Byram, Allen, Shackleton, Gyabi and a few others buy quality to add to this team or and Gnonto a big yest to him staying.
4.) 03 Apr 2024 14:41:16
Young Archie and Kalvin when he comes back, what a combo. Grenade thrown ?.
5.) 03 Apr 2024 15:05:23
Good post Whiteman, ??.
6.) 03 Apr 2024 15:12:47
We won't get that kind of money at the moment - he's unproven at the top level (although we probably all think he's got what it takes any buyer would use that as a bargaining chip) , plus with FFP flying around, a lot of clubs are going to be extremely cautious over what they spend (unless of course you are Real Madrid as FFP doesn't apply and no Spanish bank will ever threaten them) .
I'd rather he stayed forever but if he does go let's wait at least until he turns 20 and has got Premier League experience.
7.) 03 Apr 2024 17:03:13
Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of being able to keep hold of players we want to. If a decent bid comes, they'll sell. I'm just going to enjoy him while he's here and try nit to look too far into the future. Only rumours for now any way. Will worry if a bid comes in.
8.) 03 Apr 2024 19:42:40
Dill We must retain Arch. Think of the unfortunate knock-on consequences his departure would cause in relation to his younger brother.
9.) 03 Apr 2024 22:55:16
I think he’ll stay for several reasons…
1 - we don’t need to sell
2 - he doesn’t want to leave
3 - he’s very inexperienced and unproven at the highest level
4 - no one is going to offer silly money to tempt the club (see 3 above) . He’s not a “Bellingham” level player (yet)
10.) 04 Apr 2024 02:20:39
Agree anni. He here for two more seasons. He will want to stay to see how ambition. If we not steadily improving. He will go. Providing we don’t get 50 plus bid for him. Then we will sell and he no choice.
11.) 04 Apr 2024 05:43:13
To be frank IF Leeds fail to go up this season its entirely feasible AG leaves Leèds United in summer
Is AG as talented as Eddie Gray at same age? Nope.
12.) 04 Apr 2024 06:46:10
Archie is the least likely player to leave Leeds even if we don’t make promotion. Simply because he is not at the level for an elite club yet. He is more Leeds than any player I can think of for a very long time and if we didn’t promotion this season, he would stay to make sure we did in the next.
The players we should be concerned about if we don’t go up will be Rutter, Summerville and Gnonto.
13.) 04 Apr 2024 06:54:48
Why would you pretend to be his Grandad, Baz?
14.) 04 Apr 2024 07:16:46
Boom boom Brighty very good
Time will tell . another season perhaps. His grandad Frank ( not I ) had no qualms leaving Leeds for Florists.
15.) 04 Apr 2024 09:35:51
Gotta disagree Ani. We will sell if we get a decent offer. Nature of the beast and currently we are not a club that turns down offers from bigger teams (in terms of league position or financial power) . Only need to look at recent windows. We're selling players to little minnows Bournemouth because they're higher up the football league than us. Plus being an academy product he would help massively in FFP or PSR as he's 100% profit. Football is a business for owners and they treat it as such.
16.) 04 Apr 2024 10:56:00
Don’t think Archie will go dill. Guarantee how won’t go to a prem team outside top 8. Anybody under 8 possibly go down so waste of time going there. Anybody above top 8 could mean bum warming for 2 seasons. He a smart lad. Will stick around and see what happens here for 2 more seasons unless we get a too good to be true offer and then prob out of his hands. Even then the club would mostly say we have accepted offer but up to you if you want to go or not.
17.) 04 Apr 2024 13:27:25
No guarantees in football. Would hedge my bets that if we go up he'll stay though. If we don't then more likely imo. Be a few clubs willing to test our resolve.
Just talking pragmatically, of course. I would love him to stay and hope he does no matter what league we're in.
18.) 04 Apr 2024 18:39:01
Hi Dill. I do not disagree with you, however I would be very surprised if anyone made a "daft" offer [value wise] for AG, so I personally think it's a bit moot.
However, there are some very silly clubs who spend silly money on all sorts, so no one can be sure.
19.) 05 Apr 2024 08:54:22
Fair comment, pal. Just a lot of money thrown around nowadays. Bournemouth paid £20m for Alex Scott. Palace paid £22m for Wharton. Neither are big clubs but willing and able to spend decent amounts on young players. I worry what larger clubs will offer because that will definitely test our resolve.
13 Mar 2024 11:25:03
A bit slow on here the past few days. Feel free to make up a false, funny but blatantly untrue rumour about Leeds United.

Likely that Farke will make Archie Gray his first signing!
2.) 13 Mar 2024 12:53:28
Farkes record in prem have caught the interest of mancs and pool. Both want cooper and firpo as part of the deal.
3.) 13 Mar 2024 12:57:21
As long as he takes Firpo with him . all good.
4.) 13 Mar 2024 13:16:45
My predictions will be 110% correct for the remainder of the season as they have been previously,
including the plan to ground share with Ambrosia whilst we move into our new stadium picked up for a bargain £1million, by a consortium in desperate need of money located in Bramley-Moore Dock.
5.) 13 Mar 2024 15:30:52
That last prediction was - Class, Class. I think. Just give me a moment.
