Elvedi deal officially completed. Hopefully another good addition to the squad.
1.) 19 Aug 2026 14:08:41
Personally, think he's a great addition! Extra LB cover, and we have real strength and some depth at the back.
2.) 19 Aug 2026 14:23:13
Really chuffed with that. Think we should be tough to beat this season. Bit more creativity with Wilson. You never know, Okafor might have got himself fit enough for 90 mins. No centre forward cover, which is a worry, but I'm optimistic for a comfortable season.
3.) 19 Aug 2026 14:50:49
I never really understand the talk of Okafor only lasting 60 minutes. It's always been Farke's tactics to swap wingers around 60-70 minutes, way before Okafor joined, so I think it's more down to tactics and strength in depth rather than him not having the legs. Alongside Wilson, he's the player most likely to create something out of nothing, so I'd be happy going into the season with him starting, then Gnonto, BA, and DJ as options to come off the bench.
I think recruitment has been top notch this summer, arguably the best in the league. Backups are still needed in a couple of positions, but our strongest 11 looks far better than it has for 25 years. I'm personally very happy with what we've done so far and trust the recruitment team to finish the job over the next couple of weeks.
4.) 19 Aug 2026 15:29:49
Okafor is usually blowing out of his arse after an hour. You can visibly see it, and I'm sure his "bra data" will show visible drop offs.
5.) 19 Aug 2026 15:37:31
What's his plan? If we don't concede, we can't lose?
We need some firepower up front.
6.) 19 Aug 2026 16:15:32
That's always been Farke's plan.. don't concede.. at least draw the game, which is okish to an extent..
Still, I maintain a quality striker is more important than a quality gk.
7.) 19 Aug 2026 20:23:30
Okafor simply doesn't get more than 60 min on the wing. Took us a costly while to realise it and start getting him off then. Still, I wouldn't buy another striker. We have 3 after Piroe, and Okafor is one of those. That's 1 more than most clubs. Trying to find someone to sign as backup who is better than N and worse than D, just so we can have 2 more strikers than every other Prem team is a scriduculous waste of money.
Yes, sign someone like Paixeo to strengthen attack, but for goodness sakes go sign Skelly to improve / compete for the first 11 in two spots.
8.) 20 Aug 2026 09:58:07
If you look at Okafor's stats from last season, he played substantially more minutes than during any other season of his career. He also averaged 72 minutes in the games he started. A decent return for a high intensity role.
26 Jul 2026 00:37:04
Harrison gone to New England Revolution, permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee.
1.) 26 Jul 2026 09:20:45
Joe Tiffany reporting £4 million. Amazing bit of business if that's accurate.
2.) 26 Jul 2026 09:23:29
Others on the site are suggesting a top six-figure sum, i.e. under a million.
3.) 26 Jul 2026 10:03:04
Sounds more realistic, and more than he's worth to us, so I'll take it.
4.) 26 Jul 2026 10:40:31
4 mill may include the wages we save?
5.) 26 Jul 2026 11:45:54
You could be right there, Canada. Whatever it is, it's the best for all concerned.
6.) 26 Jul 2026 14:16:43
Liked Harrison in Bielsa era. But anything is good now. Don't get the hatred. He played a lot of games for us and did his best. Long time retired, right. In general, life that we live. Most of the time $ counts.
7.) 27 Jul 2026 03:22:21
Wages off the books is what we needed.
The whole Harrison saga has been one long mess. A new contract, and the mess of that move to Leicester, and then Marsch playing him as an inverted RW, messed him up. He has gone downhill ever since.
8 G and 8 A in a PL season and a 20 million value. Dreadful management by the club. Meslier is similar, and no sell on for Summerville, too.
Thankfully we now have owners with their heads screwed on.
06 Jul 2026 17:35:21
I would like the Harry Wilson signing to be put to bed and announced this week. It's not done till it's done. Has he gone on holiday in one of Musk's rockets?
1.) 06 Jul 2026 20:45:16
It would be good, LUFCfeath. ?
2.) 08 Jul 2026 13:49:36
He was on holiday in Portugal - don't know if he is back yet.
30 Jun 2026 21:48:55
Struick deal done and dusted, officially announced on the LUFC website. Tomorrow, I hope we will also be saying that the Wilson deal is completed. We need to get to work now as two left sided CB's are required. Fair play to Brighton, no messing about getting their man.
1.) 30 Jun 2026 22:37:34
Brighton don't mess around. Pascal is probably their third signing.
2.) 30 Jun 2026 23:07:34
We needed to get the deal done and dusted before Jun 30th so that it was within the PSR accounting window that ends on that date.
3.) 01 Jul 2026 00:10:30
Fair point, JR.
4.) 01 Jul 2026 06:40:12
Exactly, JR. If anything, we were the ones speeding the deal through. Other clubs have already been fined. We avoided one, supposedly, by completing this deal.
17 Mar 2026 22:57:11
Karma as Citeh and Chelski are hammered in the CL.
1.) 18 Mar 2026 09:47:53
See them boda cp games. Now that's relying on home form or not.

You couldn't make this stuff up. Scarecrow lookalike Uncle Jim Ratcliffe is selling off the pitch at the theatre of wet dreams in 7cm squares to the gullible sheep that follow his club. All to help pay off the 1 billion + debt they are in.
1.) 24 Sep 2026 13:12:03
At £125 a pop!
2.) 24 Sep 2026 13:43:40
Embarrassing is all I can say.
Makes me think that their situation is worse than most perceive ?
Or does Uncle Jimmy always do stuff like this ?
3.) 24 Sep 2026 13:30:52
Put me down for a dozen!!
Listening to the radio the other day, one of the Man U supporters club members described Ratcliffe as 'the penniless billionaire' - stories like this make it believable!
What a little w@nk3r that guy really is!
4.) 24 Sep 2026 15:38:40
He is the grim reaper Cleggy! A right miserable sod to say he lives in Monaco and is rolling in cash.
5.) 24 Sep 2026 16:18:59
Took its time what goes round comes round how about the FA looking in to these clubs with massive debts still thay will say they have a massive fan base and can cover it ??♂️.
6.) 25 Sep 2026 01:38:38
He'll need to find a heck of a lot of gullible suckers, the Old Trashyard pitch is 105 by 68 metres, which would yield 1,455,000 7cm squares. At £125 a pop, that'd bring in nearly £182 million,

I'm going to buy a piece or 2 for my cat's litter tray.

Plenty of sheep JR, the first lot has sold out.
21 Sep 2026 14:26:53
My take on yesterday. Not one of our best performances after Monday nights game, but Palace were far better and stronger than Newcastle. After giddy talk by some regarding a challenge for a European place, this was a reality check for us that at this point consolidation is the aim. Our effort yesterday couldn't be faulted but glaringly in a game like that, were crying out for some midfield creativity which was lacking, rectifying this must be a priority in January.
As it is, 5 unbeaten and 9 points on the board is a fine start that the majority of us would have taken. The next 5 games after the break will tell us a lot about what the rest of the season may hold for us.
1.) 21 Sep 2026 14:29:35
Fair analysis Feath.
2.) 21 Sep 2026 14:30:11
Lurve it Feath. giddy talk by some indeed.
3.) 21 Sep 2026 16:05:10
Have a look at our league position and form since City game and still tell me European football is a pipe dream. Not to mention Sunderland coming 7th last season!
4.) 21 Sep 2026 16:58:20
I don't fully understand how easy or difficult these financial fair play rules really are to follow and how close we are to them every year if that's true or not. But what I can understand is if you are playing in the PL is a higher % allowed than if playing in Europe.
Would I love to be playing on a Thursday night against teams from around Europe, probably yes. But would I want it at the expense of not having another year of being allowed more to spend on the squad next season. Probably not.
I'd like a decent finish this year and a real push next year for Europe with the stadium increase. 1 season too soon for me. (Based on my little understanding of the FFP / SCR) unless some1 tells me otherwise that it wouldn't effect our ability to improve the squad next season.
5.) 21 Sep 2026 17:06:50
I believe you have 15% less to spend when in Europe. However the extra revenue from a good European cup run more than makes up for the shortfall.
6.) 21 Sep 2026 17:26:01
Well said Feath as usual!
I think people have under estimated Palace they won 4.0 in Europe other night & won the Conference Cup last year!
A point is a point on & on!
Up The Whites Down The Pints ???!
7.) 21 Sep 2026 18:12:53
Corkey, do you know if the spend is based on current seasons income or last season's?
Could make it tricky for those that gamble on a successful season.
8.) 21 Sep 2026 19:41:15
Google Premier League SCR rules and it's all there to read. Basically, Premier League clubs are capped at spending 85% of their football-related revenue on squad costs (wages, transfer amortisation, and agent fees) . Clubs playing in European competitions are bound by UEFA's stricter 70% cap. The %ages apply to this season's expenditure, not last season.
Personally, whilst I'd to finish as high up the table as possible, I'd not want to qualify for Europe this season cos I don't think we're ready for it yet. Next year with another year's PL experience under our belts, and the stadium upgrades staring to come online, then we shall see.
9.) 21 Sep 2026 21:59:38
JR mate, you'd like to finish as high up as possible yet don't want to qualify for Europe?
10.) 21 Sep 2026 22:19:46
It's based on this season's expenditure and income, Canada. We're within the 85% and can go up to 115% without points deductions. If we go above 85 then it reduces our percentage in following seasons.
Currently Bournemouth and Chelsea are in the red danger zone.
11.) 21 Sep 2026 23:00:43
Yes Corkey, I'm being contradictory aren't I. This season European qualification goes down to 8th, though next year it could be 7th depending on circumstances, so ideally I might be happy to finish 9th. However, I always want us to win every game, and if it comes to the last match of the season, and winning will take us to 8th I'll still want to win.
Then I'd approach the next season with trepidation knowing we'd have to fit in at least 6 group stage games on top of our regular PL, FA Cup and League cup commitments, and I don't think we have a big enough squad for that yet. This is all hypothetical for now, so let's just see how we do.
12.) 22 Sep 2026 18:51:19
I get where you are coming from JR but when will the right time be to potentially play in Europe?
If it were to happen next season after a fabulous 6th place finish then I for one will be ecstatic and raring to go.
Will Leeds fans really be saying "oh sugar we've qualified for Europe too early and are squad is not good enough and we are doomed”. I doubt it.
Let's see where we end up.
13.) 23 Sep 2026 07:50:30
Purely my own thoughts, but while European nights are fantastic, being there next season doesn't sit well with the constraints we are operating in, and building a solid foundation to stabilise the club in the EPL.
For context, bringing on BA and DJ as subs was labelled as uninspiring, but we don't have much choice, as we can't afford to upgrade them yet, or have them sat on the bench with similar calibre replacements in other positions.
Until we have that strength in depth, Europe will act as something detrimental, rather than beneficial to our progression, imo.

I would think so.

I would hope they are!

Seems Brownhill hasn't gone to Wolves as reported on the Beeb. Sorry for the false info gents. Personally I would take him for us. Good player.
26 Sep 2026 15:41:37
Absolutely Dunelm, a massive fine, owners out, transfer ban and relegation to at least division two. Rangers were demoted to the bottom league a few years ago, so why not Citeh?
26 Sep 2026 15:35:08
Football's credibility and integrity is at stake here, but I am not holding my breath.
25 Sep 2026 23:43:12
Got it in one JR! I have just read City's lawyer is paid £5k per hour!
25 Sep 2026 18:57:04
It does make you wonder if Guardiola knew what was coming down the line after his exit stage left. It has to be relegation to Conference North, a massive fine, owners banned, all players to be relocated to a Club where or near where they were born with no transfer fees involved!
25 Sep 2026 15:45:17
Plenty of sheep JR, the first lot has sold out.
