Need not to be Leedsy and leave till last hour. Have 2 days and still rumors of Mudryk. Need to have answer today and if a no or not had ok from Chelsea, pull out and move onto others. For me I’d definitely go for Matheus Mane.
I have been saying him for 2 months, young and can play different positions. Still then need a striker which looks tough; wasn’t over keen but would now take Flemming.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 10:26:26
Agreed, I'd take Mane.
Mudryk on loan.
Bahoya or Paixao signed.
Leite signed.
Loan a striker.
We need 2 wide attackers if Willy goes to Fiorentina. Don't blame him if he goes, Farke has never utilised him properly.
2.) 31 Aug 2026 10:36:40
Leeds' problem is they can't do quick business.
Take days for medicals.
I firmly believe (happy to be wrong) we are done in the window.
3.) 31 Aug 2026 10:58:02
We've lost our little Willy.
4.) 31 Aug 2026 11:07:36
Sorry to see Willie G go, but if he doesn't fit into the system, then he has to. Would prefer a sale or an obligation to buy. Gives us a bit more leeway in the last two days.
Chelsea might now be persuaded that Mudryk will get some time.
Would take Leite as a free agent - left footer.
Would like Fleming, but don't think it will happen, and also another fb.
If Willie and Mudryk are all we do, then we are too thin squad-wise.
5.) 31 Aug 2026 11:07:37
I'm hoping the M one is an expensive 2 yr loan with an option. Could suit both in terms of accounting.
6.) 31 Aug 2026 11:55:26
It might be better if it was big enough, Pedro. That would probably see his contract out. Zurich have a 40% sell on clause, so we won't make a fantastic amount of profit from a sale.
15 Jun 2025 00:51:52
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.

Didn’t get chance to watch all match, watched highlights, scary 2nd half.
Guess at 0-2 up on 50 min, have to keep it tight but they do have class players to bring on.
Have to think pen was turning point but we need to move on and think we look decent and will push on in league.
Exciting season ahead.
Any thoughts on why JMB never got on? Thought he would’ve had 20 mins, maybe saving for Monday and possible first start.
1.) 10 Sep 2026 09:37:57
Don't expect to see him start anytime soon.
2.) 10 Sep 2026 10:24:39
What Corkey said.. If Farke doesn't give him League Cup mins.
Farke calling Jmb a project upon his signing sounds like it's a player that Farke doesn't particularly rate or want.
Summer window downgraded.
3.) 10 Sep 2026 10:35:36
Farke said in a post-match interview that he was about to bring JMB on, but Bard signalled he couldn't continue with leg cramps, so he changed and brought Gabi on instead.
4.) 10 Sep 2026 11:29:40
We'll see if JMB gets any minutes in home matches vs Newcastle and Palace.
02 Sep 2026 22:29:50
Free agents are interesting, wondering if any player makers out there.
Would love Wilfred Saha, he could play wing, #9 or 10, I is on around 2mil per year.
1.) 03 Sep 2026 00:29:40
Saha's quite a good shout, Melbourne. ? And I really liked Mahrez, a quality, talented player, but 35 now.
2.) 03 Sep 2026 01:24:06
I don't even hate Vardy as an emergency bench option if DCL got injured and we needed someone to be a nuisance up front when Nmecha comes off. He managed 7 for a relegated Serie A team last yr.
I like Mahrez and Zaha too. Elsewhere, Zinchenko and Solly March aren't bad shouts.
Easy to say as fans, but I'd invite genuine contenders to train with the squad a few weeks, build the fitness, and see if they fit the 'no idiots' vibe.
Money talks too. Has to be reasonable wages. Ofc not all of them. One if any. But some interesting names out there.
3.) 03 Sep 2026 07:23:40
Apparently, the club have confirmed we won't be signing any free agents. We believe we have enough for the season, with additions in Jan only likely in case of a bargain or injuries.
4.) 03 Sep 2026 08:09:12
Love Solly March, he's a top top bloke too, but sadly injuries have taken what pace he had, and consequently he is too great a risk for us. Pay to play in the Championship; lower leagues would be better suited for Solly.
5.) 03 Sep 2026 09:59:49
Any news on how long Joe R is out for? That might change the stance on a CB, although there is the international break at the end of the month, which will help.
6.) 03 Sep 2026 10:33:48
Joe always seems to heal exceptionally quick.
Haven't heard a timeline yet.
7.) 03 Sep 2026 13:54:37
Just read he's out for 8 to 10 weeks. Quite a bad one!
8.) 03 Sep 2026 14:24:14
Gutted about Joe Rodon's length of injury news. Our best, most consistent defender imo.
9.) 03 Sep 2026 20:01:46
Another injury or two in certain positions and that might change Alf.
10.) 04 Sep 2026 07:06:54
We were supposedly offered Anthony Martial recently.
01 Sep 2026 00:24:04
A strange window, both good and bad (with 24hrs) to go.
If stays as is with Largie and Gnonto going, feel it’s a good window but not great.
Very good in defense, love look of Trafford, Gary, Elvis and think we are ok at the back.
In attacking areas, we're worse off, brought in Wilson only, who I feel will be a great addition but moved on JH, Gnonto, Largie, Geldhert.
Strange as we seemed very keen on that creative midfielder, seemed we were in for Brandt, that didn’t happen and now moved on and no other names mentioned.
Then all out for winger but again stalled and as is, failed on Paxo and Mudryk and low on options.
I like Okafor but injury prone, same with DJ, can’t see us getting any attacking players now, have to approach, agree, organise medical and then sign off, tough with less than 24hrs.
With all that said, I was anxious back in January, thought we definitely needed a striker, glad we didn’t go for Larsen and we ended season fantastically.
Still feel that now, only 2 strikers and I have a feeling that we are making a massive gamble, I felt 2-3 attacking options would make us very dangerous.
As is, think we will survive but may struggle to score and will bite us.
I’m currently underwhelmed and just an ok window.
1.) 01 Sep 2026 07:48:17
A pretty damned level headed, and accurate post there, Melbourne! Sums it up nicely.
I did feel that given Piroe was our only striker back up, he'd have been replaced immediately, but there's still hope and time to sort that.
Looks like the left sided back up is incoming, so we should be reet, all in all.
Good to get rid of a load of minimally / unused players, for sure!
2.) 01 Sep 2026 08:19:16
Agree, Melb, we look very strong at the back, and Trafford and Tariq are absolute quality, along with Elvedi, who is also an upgrade of Pascal. Reports this morning are we have agreed a loan of a French LB, which is great news, with Sicknote Gudmonson, and hopefully get Jake O'Brien from Everton, and if that happens, it's a 10/10 window at the back.
As you say, further up the pitch, we have less depth for sure, which is a huge concern.
Getting rid of Willy without a replacement is suicidal, as Noah and DJ like the biscuits in the physios room too much.
I am hopeful we get a wide player if Willy goes (hopefully Paxo Stuffing or Mudrick) and Flemming in as another striker to replace Piroe.
Then it's a defo 10/10 window. As it's stands, it's 7.5/10.
31 Aug 2026 22:41:23
It’s not looking good, Mdryk wanting Spurs now, we do muckdrky about, we can’t seem to sell club well to potential players, really poor at completing signings fast
Paxo never been interested in coming to us, that made clear last summer but they don’t move on, ridiculous.
1.) 01 Sep 2026 07:39:18
Underwood - out of his depth. Said it last year, I'll say it again. Mr Nice sits on his hands.
2.) 01 Sep 2026 07:54:06
Don't believe we were ever in for Pax this season.
30 Aug 2026 00:38:01
Watching MOTD, Spurs beaten again after spending crazy money.
Solanke got about 12 mins. Could we put a bid in for him as sure not happy, his market value is around 25mil.
Buy him, buy Mane from Wolves around 20 mil and try loan Ethan Nwareri, window done. ?
Easy this window shopping.
1.) 30 Aug 2026 09:51:58
Saw the Liverpool game. They leave themselves wide open for counter-attacks. They will get bounced quite a bit this season. Isaac was dire, and they take gak off. I thought he was their best player lol. Happy days.
2.) 30 Aug 2026 10:03:27
Gakpo in Man City's sights although Spurs would like him as well as they've not spent enough to sufficiently improve the squad. ?
3.) 30 Aug 2026 10:05:40
Don't think Solanke is pushing for a move, but Richarlison is. Good on his day, and a bit of a nasty piece, but doesn't do it often enough.

Nice to have options for cup games and they look strong alternatives. I think BJ and Bard will come into defense.
Like to see Wilson start and hopefully find his feet, sure he'll be fantastic for us.
Like above comments, hope to get a look at JMB, see this speed we’ve heard about, hope he has end product too, but may take time to get up to speed.
?
Then a tough Toon test, feeling confident though, which is a nice change.
31 Aug 2026 12:30:58
Been too long since replacing. I did like Saiz too. Last flair players were Raphi or Georgi.
04 Jul 2026 02:01:28
Think that a decent shout, feath. Think Souter is around 5mil and be a good squad player, great at blocks and crosses, and can score.
Probably a tad slow, but in a 3, he be ok.
25 May 2026 11:57:42
No guessing, just unbelievable knowledge. A lad from Shadwell, living in Oz, still on top of things. Am I the oracle?
MOT.
12 May 2026 22:43:29
Ealing, be great if can offload some of those players and get a decent starting kitty. Think ideally need to spend 100-130m, and if can raise 60+ from sales
Re BA, a sell. Try recoup, but he not good enough, even though he works hard
Not heard of that striker, tall and scores. I do rate Duran, but big money, but might be able to tempt
I know not a popular opinion, but I'd try sell Struijk, slow and out of position a lot, good in opposition box though, but I'd go for Mavropanos and Daisia
I just have this feeling Wilson wants to join his Welsh mates, probably won't happen
Also a budget winger from Leicester be Mavrapidi.
