BBC say that Wolves have accepted a new offer from Palace for JSL of £43M plus £5M in add ons so £48M in total. So our lot can finally stop p#ssing about and go for Plan B (if they have one) !
1.) 01 Feb 2026 15:44:11
Should have given a final offer last week.
Pretty late to start negotiating so hopefully something else was already started.
2.) 01 Feb 2026 17:08:45
No more incoming now according to the ITKs.
3.) 01 Feb 2026 18:35:02
The itks are every fan who knows that Leeds united are being run by a bunch of amateur fools who have no idea what Leeds means or how to run a football club.
4.) 01 Feb 2026 18:44:54
The same ITKs that never saw Buonanotte coming, and then told us that we'd "agreed to bring in Mohamed Amoura from Wolfsburg"? You need to take a more sceptical attitude to what they say. To me they're just wannabe ITKs but actually only DKs like the rest of us.
5.) 01 Feb 2026 20:53:51
Lol! Bang on JR!
6.) 01 Feb 2026 21:36:50
Zinny Boswell at Sky Sports is saying an alternative striker is unlikely for us. I think our business is done.
06 Jan 2026 13:14:12
Rumour mill suggesting we are interested in Artem Dovbyk who is set to leave Roma in Jan. Suggested price is £19M. Would be a great signing, but I doubt it will happen. Allegedly Sunderland looking at him too.
1.) 06 Jan 2026 22:49:13
He has been offered to use along with a few other clubs apparently.
2.) 07 Jan 2026 01:22:55
So go ahead and take up the offer, how hard can that be?
3.) 07 Jan 2026 06:41:41
Depends if we want him or not and if the price is right I would think.
4.) 07 Jan 2026 06:51:47
He also got subbed off injured yesterday so we would probably want to learn more about that before making any move.
22 Dec 2025 14:06:14
New rumour that Man City are looking to poach Harry Gray, but looking to cut the price by offering Kalvin Phillips in part exchange. My view is that we should tell them we're not interested in taking KP back, but if they want to do a PX deal we'll take Erling Haarland off their hands, otherwise no deal and they can go forth and multiply.
1.) 22 Dec 2025 15:54:19
40 million for Gray. No way we can keep hold of him if we're offered that.
One has to wonder, if Man City see him as so valuable, why we aren't playing he next to DCL?
2.) 22 Dec 2025 17:10:30
It's money for a future superstar, which I'm pretty sure he will be, even more so than Archie. He'd be out on loan for a long while I'd guess. That money, with or without Kal, will be almost impossible to turn down, sadly.
3.) 22 Dec 2025 17:56:31
KP has nothing to offer but passion IMO.
Not sure how the upcoming financial changes will affect our choices, I'd rather keep Gray and let him become worth more than 40mill, but the money would make a huge difference if true.
4.) 23 Dec 2025 23:16:49
I’d rather keep him. We do need additions but tbh I think our chances of survival with the team we have, have improved dramatically recently.
Bit out there. But why not use gray if dcl Injured?
29 Aug 2025 11:07:17
Great news, allegedly Timo Werner doesn't want to come to LU, and his agents ard now offering him to Wet Spam. Never wanted him amyway, vastly overrated!

Fantastic story in the Yorkshire Evening Post today reporting on a match in the Spanish 2nd División in which CD Castellon coached by Pablo Hernandes trounced Real Valladolid whose sporting director is Victor Orta. The final score was 4-0, and after the match, Valladolid fans could be heard chanting "Orta out". Castellon are now in the second automatic promotion spot in Segunda División for promotion to La Liga after a run of 13 games with only 1 defeat, and Valladolid are 18th, one point off the relegation places.
Pablo credits the coaching methods he learnt from Marcello Bielsa, and says his dream coaching job would be at Leeds United. Watch this space!

We're a fickle bunch us Leeds fans aren't we. At the start of the season when the summer window closed we were all doom and gloom, variously slagging off Underwood, Farke and Paraag. The downbeat mood continued til the Man City game when we all brightened up, started saying good things about the lads performances, even BA got a bit of praise now and then. Then comes the 2nd Arsenal game which turns out to be a bad day at the office for everyone against the current best team in the league.
Then the winter transfer window doesn't yield the new signings we all crave, and suddenly we're back to doom and gloom and mud slinging at anyone and everyone we perceive to be at fault. As it is we're on 26 points from 24 games, and if we maintain that level til the end of the season we'll finish on 41 points which has been safety in virtually every PL season so far. So let's all just lighten up and support the lads. UTWDTP.
1.) 03 Feb 2026 08:41:41
There are the non fickle, forever doom predicting few, too, tho!
And then there's those who just pop out of the woodwork, to seemingly feed on fickleness and doubt.
And then followers of the ITK jetset, who's idols have just gorged themselves on hallucinogens in the hope of creating far fetched yet believable stories of signings from afar.
And then, there's some of us who have just remained level headed throughout.
2.) 03 Feb 2026 09:49:14
I do look up to you bright as a sorta like top influencer. I hope you are earning decent dosh with that outofthisworldy halo hat that you quite rightly wear. Maybe one day some of us could meet you and learn from you and the other righteous. We’d pay obviously. Knowledge, know how and wisdom Dosent come cheap. We know that.
3.) 03 Feb 2026 10:05:54
Ausman how is your head after that bang mate I do hope you are ok take care?.
4.) 03 Feb 2026 11:47:32
He's still hung over after having to endure Sunday lunch with his Gooner dad after Saturday's fiasco.
5.) 03 Feb 2026 12:08:39
What's "an influencer" Aus?
Isn't that a virus that Benelyn or Lemsip treats?
6.) 04 Feb 2026 12:32:48
Is it only the doom predictors that deliver the righteous posts?
12 Jan 2026 19:21:10
In the FA cup 4th round we will be away (again) at Birmingham City. Strangely, the only PL teams drawn at home are Arsenal, Man C, Villa and Liverpool who also just happen to be currently placed 1 to 4 in the table. Tell me this is just a coincidence if you like, but I don't like coincidences like this.
1.) 12 Jan 2026 19:40:30
Conspiracy theories. You'll be saying next that referees don't like Leeds. ?.
2.) 12 Jan 2026 20:27:10
Lol JR. Do you mean to tell me you have no faith in the undoubted "Integrity" of The FA? ???
As for us, that's a typically slippy banana skin we've been presented with! Surely that's also pure chance at play!?!?
3.) 12 Jan 2026 23:00:39
My faith - sweet FA. Make your own mind up what those two letters stand for. ?.
4.) 12 Jan 2026 23:27:19
Also just found out, we were the very last ball out of the pot, maybe so as not to be mixed up with any others?
5.) 13 Jan 2026 08:36:44
What are the odds on that happening jr? ?.
6.) 13 Jan 2026 12:06:15
There were 32 balls, so the odds on being last (or first or any other position) are 1 in 32 or 3.125%. For it to happen twice would be 1 in 1,024 or 0.098%.

Strange you not won lotto.

Lotto jackpot odds are 45 Million to 1, gambling is a mugs game.

The Daily Telegraph obituary of the late Terry Yorath includes a great story about his first match for Leeds United. At 18 he was too young to live alone, and so lodged with a teammate. During his debut match against Burnley he floored an opponent with a trademark tackle, and the Burnley player asked the Leeds bench: “Who the hell is that, ” to which Les Cocker replied: “Believe it or not he’s Norman Hunter’s mother’s lodger. ”.
1.) 10 Jan 2026 09:32:50
There's also the tales of his bravery in the tragic Bradford fire, which I'd never even heard before.
2.) 10 Jan 2026 15:40:46
Lovely story JR. I was lucky enough to meet him in 1974, when we were the top team. I remember him putting souness in his place in a match in the early days too. Terry, Jordan and Gordon all came through together. Wonderful footballer and man.
3.) 10 Jan 2026 18:36:07
Ah yes, 1973/ 74, my favourite season, we were Div 1 champions, and also Man Utd were relegated. ?
Top scorer that season was Martin Chivers, who also passed away on Wednesday another great footballer.
4.) 10 Jan 2026 23:13:56
Great knowledge JR. Martin Chivers was a top class centre forward. What would he be worth nowadays?! Sad to hear of his passing too.
05 Jan 2026 01:01:47
Put the flags out, DCL's goal against Sunderland chosen by BBC MOTD viewers as December's "Goal of the month" - as Gabby Logan said, it's nice to see the a team goal win.
PS Maybe BA has put down an early marker for the Jan award.
1.) 05 Jan 2026 06:36:32
Sunderland goal serves the accolade. Not sure ba does.
2.) 05 Jan 2026 11:39:40
Many of us have been rightly critical of BA in the past, me included, but I have to concede that he is much improved in recent games, and has deserved to keep his place in the team. He was good yesterday, and took his goal well.
3.) 05 Jan 2026 16:01:34
Correct JR, I also have been very critical of BA, and I agree at present he deserves his place now, but I stand by my previous comments regarding him.
He has certainly been the most improved player of the last month and arguably our best player, although I personally believe amps has been outstanding of late, nice to see Bijol and Bornauw playing well and given the chance to show what they can do.
Hats off to all the team long may it continue.
06 Feb 2026 01:12:37
They're now just outside the relegation places having previously been comfortably mid table, so I think they'll survive. However, since we got a 15 point deduction for a similar infringement, I don't see why the should get away with losing only 6.
04 Feb 2026 00:57:29
Post as many rumours as you like, many of us do the same, but make it clear that they are just rumours and, where possible cite the source, and don't present rumours as fact. The people we refer to as ITKs would like us to think that they have privileged access to information that the rest of us do not have, but they almost certainly do not.
If the club want us to know something they'll tell us, and if they don't they won't. There, rant over.
PS keep posting, it's lively discussion and occasional disagreement that keeps this site going.
03 Feb 2026 16:46:58
That's correct Cheshire. I well remember the shock and surprise from everybody when we signed Raphina. Nobody saw it coming, and some big name clubs even complained that they'd never been aware that he was available. Keeping shtum about proposed deals until all is done and dusted is the best way to get the right man at the right price rather than risk getting drawn into a bidding war.
The only downside for us fans is that it's too tempting to mistake silence for inaction.
03 Feb 2026 11:24:50
Saley
On Jan 30 you said "According to the very reputable usual ITK sources, Leeds have agreed to bring in Mohamed Amoura from Wolfsburg, should be done by the deadline on Monday"
When others questioned that, you said (Jan 31) "It's literally been confirmed by reputable foreign journos that its true and we are in for him. "
Then on Feb 1 you said "Leeds are back in for Zentner, German keeper. "
All of those statements subsequently proved to be false, so the so-called "ITKs" were spouting rubbish.
At the start of the transfer window, I didn't think we'd bring anyone in, but I was wrong because we did get Buonanotte on loan, and none of your precious ITKs saw that coming.
We did also bid for Stand Larsen, who as the club said was a unique long-term opportunity. I think our bid was too high, but whatever they say, Wolves were desperate to sell, and if Mateta hadn't put in a transfer request and forced Palace to look for a replacement we might have got him if the deadline was close and ours was the only offer on the table.
All the other rumours out there were false, probably started by agents looking for a new deal for their clients, then picked up by journos and repeated by everyone else.
There's no such thing as an ITK, they're all just DKs like the rest of us.
02 Feb 2026 22:06:05
If he ever was on a flight.
13 Feb 2026 23:06:21
We've also got Sunderland and Brentford at ER, they may not be relegation candidates, but those are both eminently winnable games.
13 Feb 2026 13:49:08
I think your line up is almost right, but I think/ hope he doesn't play both Bogle AND Justin. I'd play 4:3:3 with Longstaff added in midfield and Piroe instead of Nmecha up front.
My team.
Perri
Bogle, Bijol, Bornauw, Gudmunddson
Longstaff, Buonanotte, Tanaka
James, Piroe, Gnonto.
13 Feb 2026 01:09:34
Agree Vid. I think the biggest danger to us (maybe the only one) is complacency. As long as the lads keep showing the same level of commitment for 90 mins every match til we're safe for certain I think we'll be fine.
12 Feb 2026 11:24:52
Agree about Dubravka Alf, always liked him at Newcastle, and think they should have kept him rather than getting Ramsdale on loan.
12 Feb 2026 09:54:41
We're at 15, 16 and 17 have just sacked their managers, 19 is on notice, 13 is leaving at the end of the season (if he lasts that long) . Rumour is that Florists are looking at Pereira fresh from his failure at Wolves. Where next for Frank and Dyche? Complete and utter turmoil, which could work to our advantage. ??.
