Seems like rumors strong on BJ (bijol) from udinese, has anyone seen him play?
Spurs new boss may scupper Soloman deal now, be a miss.
I still think Mavididi be decent, pace and runs at defenses.
Pity about having to wait till July but seems to be the case, just hate been late.
Imo i think i'd try for mcatee from city, think he'd be better than beundia/ hamer? but Leverkusen looking at him now and may be wrapped up next week.
Guess 69ers have it all in hand and be influx in early July.
1.) 15 Jun 2025 22:40:51
Good in the air in both boxes. awareness and reading of game excellent.
19 May 2025 10:58:21
What thoughts on Rico Henry from ?, only 27y/ o and now only sub appearances for them.
1.) 19 May 2025 11:41:30
Not for me he has a big injury record other than that I haven't seen him play.
2.) 19 May 2025 13:44:02
So you’ve seen him played injured bri but not fit?
3.) 19 May 2025 14:59:04
Lol yeah that's right Aus should check before I post.
28 Jun 2021 00:52:21
The Leeds board don't like to do things fast. No resolution to the long running alioski saga, let him just go already, we need better LB option than him.
They even taking forever signing 2 big assets that have been at the club for 3 years in Harrison/ beilsa, get it done.
Hoping lots of behind scenes work going on and then the 3-4 players we need signed up fast.
1.) 28 Jun 2021 07:02:20
The window isn’t even open yet mate and Gianni is only just back from euros, patience!
2.) 28 Jun 2021 09:49:14
They quoted all transfers would like to be done before end of June so they get a full pre season.
3.) 28 Jun 2021 11:23:11
Lufc 4, window been open since 9th June, 3 weeks already but should be patient.
Thought they’d have sorted beilsa contract and Harrison buy as no brainers.
4.) 28 Jun 2021 11:33:55
Harrison done for 1st of July, also, a YEP reporter has stated that no signings will be made by the start of pre season.
07 Nov 2020 22:54:39
Conceding a few recently and think break is needed, hope can get a few back into squad.
Was Pablo dropped from squad because of his attitude last game when taken off?
Not many positives today, big one is we are in the premiership and that is amazing, 2nd is bamford finishing improving and the offside tough to take, pointing where he wanted pass.
Negatives, keeper getting beat at near post, costa and Dallas poor.
Also feel struik not a DMF, he was pedestrian today, sorry berm but you are wrong, we much better with Phillips and I think u know it. Is he the best defensive MF, no, but better with than without or until we find a better one, should have kept veira, big mistake. Let's hope Phillips back after break and be good to see Lorente play alongside of Koch.
1.) 09 Nov 2020 22:30:23
Meltdown How can the sale of RV be a mistake when we 1. Achieved promotion without him. 2. His absence helped see the rise of KP. 3. He's reportedly available for transfer again at only a 30% increase in price than the amount we sold him for. I like RV as a player but remarking his sale was a mistake just factually incorrect.
2.) 14 Nov 2020 06:51:24
we needed the money at the time and had we not sold we would have had to sell other players and who knows what impact that would have had on the team that went up. Same with Kemar by all accounts.
15 Feb 2020 07:41:04
Every game now going to feel tense, can't afford slip ups now.
Tough one for brom against Forrest, do we want brom to win and keep teams below at bay or can we still catch them for first.
My feeling is Forrest to beat them but we have to win next 2 at home.
Bristol invested well in window, unlike us!
They have some decent players, eliason, diedhiou, wells and have won 5 out of last 6
Going to plump for 2-0, bamford and klich.

Could this be farke”s last game?
1.) 29 Nov 2025 00:18:55
It depends on score line and how they play . 5 and over I think he's gone.
2.) 29 Nov 2025 00:29:27
No.
He has until Liverpool. He's here another week. 49ers won't act until the fans have turned on him.
3.) 29 Nov 2025 07:35:33
I doubt all fans 'will turn on him tho.
There are still many who believe that until a credible and obvious upgrade is identified, and an agreement is reached, that there's absolutely no point in the cost or upheaval of ditching him.
To my mind, there's still a lot of logic in that perspective.
Additionally, and this is a guess, there must be an expectation that we are going to get truly gubbed today, especially after Citeh's midweek performance? That in mind, I suppose this gives Farke a 'bye into the next match?
4.) 29 Nov 2025 08:06:09
The cost Dosent matter. It’s peanuts in the football world.
There are hundreds of managers to choose from although if reports are right and Ange is one of them. A. That Dosent surprise me given the current owners credibility and B is that the best you can do?
How can you consider a manager that dyche has shown to be useless.
Aiming high there.
We most certainly will get brained today and we will still keep him until pool.
A mess from top to bottom.
Maybe the fans should direct their. You don’t know what you are doing. Chants to the owners too.
{Ed025's Note - they are very unlikely to change the manager yet Aus especially with the next 3 games being against very tough opposition, if a new manager is to be appointed they will want to give him easier teams to try to get off to a decent start mate..
5.) 29 Nov 2025 08:30:40
I understand that Ed. Very unlikely until after pool. But if you turn Farke upside down and check his sell by date. I’m pretty sure it will read 18/ 10/ 25.
{Ed025's Note - love it Aus..
6.) 29 Nov 2025 10:37:08
Unless a new manager can perform miracles then I don’t see any point in getting rid of Farke in my opinion.
7.) 29 Nov 2025 11:56:35
In a PSR world, when does cost not matter Aus? Peanuts to one, is caviar to another.
8.) 29 Nov 2025 12:07:50
Sell dcl and that bourn bloke and sorted bright. Sell struik. Sorted. Sell gel and dcl. Sorted. Sell mez and throw in dcl. Sorted. I could go on and on. 5 mill is peanuts to write of in comparison to the dross we are carrying. Bright.
9.) 29 Nov 2025 12:27:58
We have Chelsea Wednesday and Liverpool Saturday. They won't change him before then.
Opti, give over. The man is crap and his latest rambling tirades are examples of his unhinged lunacy for all to see. His poor tactics have cost us at least nine points already.
10.) 29 Nov 2025 13:39:36
His presser Thursday was just another level of absolute nonsense, he genuinely believes muck he's spewing
A ""miracle "" too describe keeping this, team up?
That's a fairly big exaggeration,
Of course it will. Be hard, but Farkes a very poor Prem manager,
11.) 29 Nov 2025 14:29:03
BR ahead of the pack to be out new manager and he like Meslier oh dear that will upset the pack on here.
25 Nov 2025 03:37:34
Very nervous about man city game, they got beat and be up to make amends, Haaland could destroy us.
Can’t see where points coming from in December, think DF be sacked before Xmas and for me, should’ve happened over the break.
Still think we can survive, think wolves and Burnley poor and so too west ham, they went 2 nil up but defended terribly in 2nd half and their keeper ariloa was impressive and saved them, still think they will be in bottom 3-5, just hope we can get above them or stay within 3-4 points of 16th
A couple of wins in JANUARY and can look different but needs at least 2 incoming players (and manager)
Will see if 69ers can step up, see what funds available, just thinking about James Mcatee at forest (ex city player) , not getting a game and could be worth a possible loan to buy, that CMF we crave and can make things happen, just a thought.
1.) 25 Nov 2025 07:27:51
That's a fair enough post, Melbourne, and Mcatee could be a good call. Think we were in for him before being blown outta the water on price again!?
2.) 25 Nov 2025 16:30:49
about £30m - £35m available in Jan from what I hear Melb. more if players sold e. g. Gnonto and Piroe.
3.) 25 Nov 2025 16:41:40
I think Pasc would be ahead of those 2 Alf, for being shoved out the door?
4.) 26 Nov 2025 07:48:42
Personally, I think DF should be shown the door before we let players go.
You never know, a new leader might actually play the players to their strengths and get more out of them
Both Gnonto and Piroe are goal scorers, something we desperately need are goals ??.
5.) 26 Nov 2025 07:55:42
Fair points Leeroy!
24 Nov 2025 03:06:30
Tough going and too many players not good enough and then add FARKE to that and spells trouble.
We go ahead again but don’t look like not letting teams back in, unfortunately we are weak at the back, Rodon is class but seems neither BJ or Struijk good enough, not sure if Bournauw any good but obviously DF doesn’t rate him.
WHAT the answer, do we push AMPS back with Rodon, feel we are set up wrong, shouldn’t play 3 holding/ defensive at home, can understand away but too negative, but do that and get the lead but they still don’t shut up and control MF.
Then the whole constantly starting BA, he is not good enough at this level, works hard but can’t create, can’t stand up and constantly gives ball away.
Should’ve let DF go through international break, need a change now and time with new man to work with squad and then decide what needed in January, may have to sell but need a striker and CMF otherwise we down.
1.) 24 Nov 2025 05:27:12
It’s a mess top to bottom.
I can’t see a way to turn things round.
I mean obviously Farke has to go but most of the players aren’t good enough either. Unless new manager can get them punching above their weight. We are in the poo.
I can’t even read media posts about Farke cause he annoys me so much. Unbelievably clueless in every aspect of his job. Been saying since last season amps not good enough.
Add struik, Bijol, ba, Okafor, stach, long, gnonto, James, namecheck, Harrison, dcl and Perri to that too.
I thought the first half was watchable and semi decent effort but then go and throw it away.
How many games have been a got to lose before the owners take their hands out their pockets and point to the door. I mean there’s being patient and giving the manager a crack and there’s pure stupidity.
2.) 24 Nov 2025 07:25:53
Well guys I think if you compare the managers yesterday it shows all DFs faults. Villa struggling to make an impact so emery acts at half time, 2 subs, turns the game. DF waits til the 71st minute to put a proper winger on who should have started and leaves Bloody Awful on the pitch. He also hooks his sub Ao who was one of the best players on the pitch. Again going with the same plan in the second half despite the dynamics changing, again leaving it far too late.
The worrying thing is this is not a new development, it seems to be his default setting, the world and its wife could see what was happening but no attempt to change things up when it could have made a real difference. We are now right up pickle Street, so now below the ridiculous anyway point per game stupid philosophy and getting nice an cosy in the relegation zone.
3.) 24 Nov 2025 07:47:48
Let's focus on the quality of the players first. One of the eds pointed out correctly that we only actually have 3-4 PL level players. With that in mind, no other manager is going to get a better tune out of that! They performed admirably for 50 mins in H1 yesterday, but lost steam.
How much does biffing Farke cost us? How much will that limit our Jan funds? Does the new gaffer get anymore than a 3 point upturn from any mythical bounce? Which is most important; ditching farke, or improving the playing staff?
4.) 24 Nov 2025 09:34:39
Bit of a cop out that imo Brighty, all along it wasn't even constructive to question Farke and his methods, now that we all accepted that is correct,
The narrative has moved tours actually the players making Farke look bad
The state we are in doesn't surprise me in slightest, Play Lewin, Play Baracus, Play Roadrunner and you get what you deserve more often than not
Nothing, Barr a small miracle, it's Champo football again next Seez.
5.) 24 Nov 2025 09:35:26
Who are the 3 or 4 players Brighty?
6.) 24 Nov 2025 16:23:13
1. Never said the players are making Farke look bad.
2. Bogle, Rodon, Gabby potentially, and Ao potentially. Add Gnonto to that if he stays injury free.
{Ed025's Note - Bogle, Longstaff and Rodon for me, with Struijk a possibility, i have not watched all of the Leeds games in full but what i have seen they are the players i would build my team around, just my opinion of course..
7.) 24 Nov 2025 22:05:59
You said to focus. on quality of players we have
Then said no other manager will do better with them
So we are in relegation zone, So whose responsible for that? Your post lays that at players or have I missed something?
Farkes a woeful Prem manager Brighty, no getting away from that now.
8.) 25 Nov 2025 07:51:06
Chris. You insinuated that I was defending Farke by blaming the players. That's not the case.
Ill ask you a question now, instead of falling back to tit-for-tat snidey bollox.
Who is going to get more from this squad? Who replaces farke? And be realistic.
And don't give it "that's not my job". Who will come, and who will get this squad to deliver better performances than Sundays first 45 mins AND keep us in the PL, with the limitations we face on spending?
9.) 25 Nov 2025 08:10:13
You answered your own question
I am a paid floor layer, sometimes issues arise and things go wrong, even though an architect or engineer criticise the floor, only I am the person tasked with fixing it
Same goes here "" for stats and technology "" procurement team, there zee people on huge coin to analyse the data CORRECTLY not throw up Lewins name and believe he was somehow going to have a road to Damascus moment .
We are seemingly. a professional outfit being ran like a 2 bob Sunday league outfit,
Albeit until we are being asked £7.50 for a bevvy on match day, and nigh on £100 for a shirt
Suddenly we become. very professional then
There's always a better option out there.
10.) 25 Nov 2025 07:54:09
A valid outside opinion Ed, and a welcome one. I'm still torn on longstaff, as clearly are others, who were praising him a few weeks ago, but now openly slate him as gash! Some people do forget what they've said in recent past, hope it disappears, then give it the big Felipe Felope!
At least Aus has been consistent.
{Ed025's Note - for me Longstaff has not got much around him Brighty but brings energy and experience and you really need that, but its no use him laying the ball off to players like Amps who will sell him down the river and lose the ball because he needs help in there, by the way its easy to be consistent when all you post is negativity mate, he might as well just copy and paste "get rid of Farke"..
11.) 25 Nov 2025 13:20:02
???.
12.) 25 Nov 2025 11:08:48
Agree Ed, Longstaff was one of our better acquisitions in the summer, his work rate is second to none. He does need better support though and you’re right, Ampadu looks a million miles off from being a Premiership quality player, Tanaka would be the ideal player in Amps place but I have a feeling Ao is struggling to adapt to the demands of the Premiership and is suffering like some other players of being too eager to impress and not letting his natural game be his guide.
I think Farke had to take him off against Villa as the ref told the bench he was heading for a red card.
10 Nov 2025 05:16:52
Toothless display and deserved nothing, they so much more up for it and the better team.
I am now on board with time to sack FARKE, he out of his depth.
Feel part of blame has to go with recruitment team, brought in so many defensive players, can understand BJ, JJ and GUD, but why spend on Bornauw, wasn't needed.
Also think we needed MF but only one of stach and longstaff now have too many, should've sold Gruev, Harrison and sold MEZ, I guess no one wanted them, but some cash there
WE HAVE SAID FOR SEASONS THAT WE NEED A CMF AND STRIKER, but still waiting
DCL works hard but one goal, maybe if system DF plays may help him, too isolated
Playing BA every game is frightening, he is just not good enough, can't keep the ball or stand up, time for James to start.
Time for change, not sure who, maybe Poch but he may want to do World Cup thing
Give a new guy Nov and Dec to get to know squad and we desperately need a couple players in come JAN transfer window.
Looking precarious now.
1.) 10 Nov 2025 05:48:00
Time for change way ago.
If he isn’t sacked today I’m speechless. Turned a great champ team into prem fodder. Absolute embarrassment.
Owners deal in my sleep transfer inability partly to blame but. Hopefully they learn quickly they ain’t as smart as they think they are.
Morons.
I’d rather Paddington bear on the sideline. And the players better buck their ideas up too. Earn your ****ing wages .
Gruev better than stach. Sell him instead.
Complete and utter 100% shambles.
This miserable git is not happy at all.
2.) 10 Nov 2025 06:26:40
So many similarities to the season JM took us down it's frightening. 49ers watched that car crash as minority owners, they must act to stop a full blown repeat.
3.) 10 Nov 2025 06:37:34
It pains me to see your posts vid mate. You’ve always been a bit doolally in my eyes but that’s just you. To see you despondent is a shame. Hopefully we get what we want and you can return to cuckoo land lol.
20 Oct 2025 04:43:55
Disappointing result and again very ineffective in front of goal, had some chances.
Makes the west ham game huge, at home, we have to win it.
I'd make changes ( sure DF won't) , i'd bring in Perri, Darlow done well but think we bought perri as 1st choice ( darlow was sloppy with kicking ball out, lead to there goal.
Harrison has to close down walker, he let him put cross in.
I'd also replace struijk with BJ, he poor at heading ball. He was a fault for their 2nd, his pass intercepted and slow, their player left him behind, thst then lead to 2nd.
1.) 20 Oct 2025 08:07:12
Perri also poor at distribution, think he’ll stick with Darlow’s as he has earned that from recent games.
Don’t think players should lose their place from one below par game, however Struijk is walking a thin line to justify him starting further games, I think I’d only give him another game or two to impress. Bijol will I’m sure will get his opportunity.
2.) 20 Oct 2025 10:43:14
Melbourne, harrison couldn't effectively close down walker because he had 2 players to mark, he was left alone, gudmundsson at fault as he was nowhere and didn't see the issue until too late.
3.) 20 Oct 2025 12:36:16
Why give more games to impress Struik has had plenty of opportunity and failed to impress, let's just get ready for Championship football by failing to try different options every team we play know how we shall line up and operate, we are leaving ourselves open to loss after loss after loss unless we change things now not when we are bottom of the table, I have always stated to give DF the chance to prove himself but he is walking a thin line if he fails to see what we all see and let sentimentality overrule change when needed.

Lufc 4, window been open since 9th June, 3 weeks already but should be patient.
Thought they’d have sorted beilsa contract and Harrison buy as no brainers.
Melbourne white's banter replies
01 Oct 2025 23:18:38
because i think he’s better than struijk who’s not the greatest defender, tall but misses a lot of headed clearances.
01 Sep 2025 09:15:13
Incorrect berm, lack of quality brought in is down to poor recruitment, need to get in early and have a person in who can sell the club and their ambition.
13 Aug 2025 23:38:36
I’d then go for BETO, I think he has potential.
31 Jul 2025 16:22:12
yes for me.
09 Jul 2025 13:11:28
yes i’d go for him, missing piece.
