So is that Gruev, Tanaka and Ampadu all injured for the Fulham game?
1.) 09 Sep 2025 06:34:03
Amps might be back.
2.) 09 Sep 2025 12:53:08
also hearing Ao is back in training
although Perri may have an injury.
09 Nov 2024 09:52:23
So apparently firpo has been suspended for 3 games for
Violent conduct against Millwall starting with todays game? Apparently we have been informed this morning - the morning of the game .
1.) 09 Nov 2024 12:37:07
Just seen the footage. This is an utter joke of a decision. Was as violent as blowing out a candle! What was much more violent, was our old assistant, Pep Clotet’s shaking by the neck of his player who had just been red carded! Look it up, it’s brilliant!
2.) 09 Nov 2024 13:34:24
Wasn't his neck at all. False reporting. It was his shirt. Grabbed it upper chest region. No contact made with neck whatsoever.
3.) 09 Nov 2024 13:38:58
Whatever Walter……??♂️.
4.) 09 Nov 2024 17:06:17
Myopic. Attend Specsavers. Virtually every single person on the planet would engage immediate self-defense when attacked in the neck but no such reaction from the player.
5.) 10 Nov 2024 07:06:49
One likes one’s own posts…………. ??.
6.) 10 Nov 2024 12:15:20
One thing is for certain gents, WE ALL LOVE LEEDS! MOT.
7.) 10 Nov 2024 15:52:35
Indeed Hooksie. That’s one thing I don’t doubt.
16 Aug 2024 08:49:31
Anyone seen or heard Strujk to Fulham for £12.5m?
I've seen one source report it.
1.) 16 Aug 2024 09:53:03
Think you got a couple buddies below mighty.
Not sure re the rumour though. Is 12 good for struik? Could we replace him for less?
2.) 16 Aug 2024 11:20:17
12 would be awful for Pasc in my opinion.
3.) 16 Aug 2024 13:06:27
£12m would be shocking business. So we will probably sell him.
26 Jul 2024 13:02:18
See one rumour on Twitter saying we have signed Jay Fulton from Swansea for 500k? Can't find any other reference to this anywhere so I'll take it as BS.
1.) 27 Jul 2024 00:55:35
Fulton nearly signed. Not likley as player as demanded higher wage and cannot agree terms 4/ 10 likely to happen next window. , Sara early talks but way of it just sniffing around. Confient summerville staying. 5/ 10. Word is recruitment traveling to germany on koln signing a midfielder. Whispers sound legit. Woking progess 8/ 10 legit.
2.) 27 Jul 2024 06:55:22
Decent news for northwest Surrey.
3.) 27 Jul 2024 22:07:01
Pinch of salt he has been on the scout list since last season. At the moment no talks of either club in talks of a deal. Still an option in case of future sales.
4.) 28 Jul 2024 21:23:03
Kewell? Interesting name as that player probably divides opinion more than any other Leeds player.
5.) 29 Jul 2024 11:24:34
Kewell great player. end of.
13 Jul 2024 18:56:12
Sounds like Kamara to Rennes for €10m is a done deal
Not a bad player but I think Kamara put Rothwell in is an upgrade .
I don't think there is room for Gruev, Ampadu and Kamara in midfield
So similar.
1.) 13 Jul 2024 20:26:23
Kamara gone is good news imo.
2.) 13 Jul 2024 20:34:48
Kamara and Rothwell different profiles. In fact all four are different profiles to each other. Shame if he goes. Kamara was good at progressing us up the pitch. The man that made us tick between defence and attack.
Kamara a progressive passer, technical on the ball.
Rothwell more of a runner to progress play, tenacious.
Gruev has workrate, tackler, more of a lateral passer.
Ampadu deep lying playmaker, press resistant, good passing range
Room for all of them imo as each does a different job.
3.) 13 Jul 2024 22:52:44
Dillinger - Gruev isn’t just a lateral passer - probably better at longer passes into final third than Kamara.
4.) 13 Jul 2024 23:12:29
Dill The question therefore is what's Crew's profile?
5.) 14 Jul 2024 00:40:12
Kamara pass forwards? . lmao.
6.) 14 Jul 2024 07:31:09
Clu, was being reductive so could write quickly to highlight the differences between all four. Did say MORE of a lateral passer, not JUST a lateral passer fwiw.
The majority of Gruev's passing consists of short/ mid passes laterally or vertically into the middle third. Does he ping a few long balls into the final third every now and again? Sure, but nothing regularly.
He does, Baz. Kamara's play tends to be in the final two thirds and it shows in the breakdown of his passing stats. He has 6.87 progressive passes per 90, ranking him in the 86th percentile.5.97 passes into the final third, ranking him in the 84th percentile. And 1.23 passes into the penalty area, ranking him in the 84th percentile.
I've barely watched Crew tbh, George, so wouldn't wanna say without spending a bit of time watching him first.
7.) 14 Jul 2024 08:47:16
That isn’t Gruev’s natural approach. He does, and initially did, prefer to lift his head in space from deep, and play more reaching passes, similar to Kal, to the wings, and through the middle. When Farke clearly told him to keep it simple, was when the brakes were put on our faster, more flowing and varied football.
The lateral element of his play is more through managerial design than natural ability or desire.
8.) 14 Jul 2024 09:23:33
I like Kamara but all I’m saying is there isn’t room for the 4 of them
Especially with strujk now going to CB that means Ampadu likely to play in midfield and Aaronson coming back as well something has to give.
9.) 14 Jul 2024 09:56:13
Of course there's room for four players who are different profiles ? could well be Brighty. All I know is Kamara's passing stats in the attacking third are much better.
10.) 14 Jul 2024 10:33:57
Agree brighty. Def change due to farkes instruction.
Remember a few decent sprays.
And it has been reported kamara will be replaced.
11.) 14 Jul 2024 12:50:25
If it is at DF's instruction it's a weird one. Negates our ability to get up the pitch quicker. We've looked most dangerous in the transitional phase, so not sure I understand why he'd neuter part of someones game like that.
12.) 14 Jul 2024 20:43:02
Graham Smyth says another midfielder to come in, Rothwell the gray replacement.
13.) 15 Jul 2024 03:31:14
Good news.

Just feels like everything is weighted against us at the moment.
Poor decisions by players and refs missing pens, Amapadu with his bizarre handball last week, Bijol with that stupid push v Chelsea, DCL missing the pen and poor reffing in both the City and Sunderland game, how Brennan Johnson wasn’t sent off today, I don’t know.
He got away with a blatant yellow in first few mins.
Surely something will go our way soon.
1.) 15 Mar 2026 18:40:35
Don't count on it, Mighty, the cockanees have nicked a point at the Scousers! You can't make this up. We still keep MOT.
2.) 15 Mar 2026 22:19:54
It's in our own hands with eight games to go. Three wins will do it for me. If we don't get them, it's our own fault. I think we will do it.
14 Mar 2026 22:30:16
Another nail in the coffin. We were so passive v Sunderland and just like that we are back in big trouble. To me Palace, Brentford, West Ham, Wolves, Burnley to play this season we have to be looking at going at those games with the intention of winning.
We have to learn how to defend Leeds. So many other teams seem to
know how dig deep and defend we are always looking like making an error or giving a late goal away.
It’s Embarrassing.
1.) 14 Mar 2026 23:41:50
Two upfront is a must.
Tonight's stats:
Man City, 24 shots, 6 on target.
WHU, 1 shot, 1 on target.
2.) 15 Mar 2026 00:31:52
Yeah. Very much win or lose from here on in. Go at it. No more playing tippy tippy, boring playing for a draw.
3.) 15 Mar 2026 09:38:27
As much as I want us to go for it, Aus, I would actually take a draw today v Palace.
It's our home games that we have to win - get three points from at least three of those games and we'll be okay.
The odd draw away from home is a bonus from here on in.
Totally agree, Feath - two up front, DCL and Nmecha. Give the opposition something to think about!
4.) 15 Mar 2026 10:55:40
Totally agree with the two up top posts, as OP said previously, it’s all about the right intent now. Go hard for that win, and be frustrated with a draw.
Set up for a point. well, we know only too well how that story ends.
Bijol, for me, is close to, if not already, our best defender and the greatest threat in the opposition box, and must play from here on in.
Other than Okafor, full team to choose from.
Palace just played in the Conference League and are away against AEK Larnaca again on Thursday, no excuses today. We must significantly outrun and outfight Palace today.
5.) 15 Mar 2026 11:08:32
Yep, class. Let's poke em in the eye. Go for it. Win win win. Bijol and not Struik. 2 up front. Chase every ball. Stuff draws.
09 Mar 2026 09:23:00
I’d like to see a proper 3-5-2 v Palace.
Bogle and Gudmonson wing backs.
Bijol Rodon Strujk centre backs.
Amps, Longstaff (or Aaronson) , Stach in midfield.
Start with Nmecha and DCL up top.
1.) 09 Mar 2026 10:47:05
Great post, Mighty, exactly the side I'd pick too. Sadly, I think Daniel Farke will revert to five at the back, with DCL up top on his own, mainly because he kept Namecheck on all game, and we know that he struggles for consecutive games and minutes.
Hey, but I'm normally wrong prediction-wise, so here's hoping for 3/5/2 for the remainder of the season.
2.) 09 Mar 2026 12:27:47
Totally agree!
3.) 09 Mar 2026 20:38:42
We play better, are more difficult to beat, and create more chances when we play with 3 at the back and 2 up front. DCL needs someone to pick up his headers, and someone to feed balls into the edge of the 6 yard box, because that's where he scores.
Who do you play in midfield? The question is whether it's BA or Longstaff.
BA runs his socks off, but maybe it's time to put in an alternative, and maybe Longstaff needs a longer run, and a chance to justify his transfer. I think he's more of an attacking threat than Aaronson.
Re Nmecha, he looked OK during the 90 minutes. Why shouldn't he be able to put in another stint next week, even if it's not the full match?
04 Mar 2026 21:28:17
Not a good game week for us at all.
04 Mar 2026 00:13:41
Get dcl and Nmecha playing up front as a 2 again
Push Stach up as a number 10 behind them with Amps and tanaka in mid
Aaronson and Gruev need a break
Out Bijol back in to central defence and bench Justin
Think some of these guys are overplayed, we had to rotate tonight from the city game. I'm so frustrated by this result and performance.

Ortega would have been a brilliant signing.
30 Jan 2026 18:00:12
No way we are selling Perri in Jan
We could be in the market again in the summer though then we may sell.
22 Jan 2026 10:19:38
I can see us spending £20m on a downgrade on Piroe? Surely we keep Piroe instead of?
07 Jan 2026 12:14:57
I imagine players would be identified before the window has opened? I can’t imagine the window opens and we are like oh right let’s now have a look .
14 Jul 2024 09:23:33
I like Kamara but all I’m saying is there isn’t room for the 4 of them

Bloody heck of course he is
I’m being stupid lol.
11 Feb 2026 09:31:16
Not sure about 1st goal avoidable but the penalty from Bijol certainly was, I’d be focussing on that . Awful play from him Z infuriating.
31 Jan 2026 17:55:47
There’s now way West Ham and Forest are going down and the teams above us like Bournemouth and Palace are too good
We are going down with wolves and Burnley . I just don’t see a world in where we don’t -
Sorry.
26 Jan 2026 13:33:08
Can I ask why does it matter to you guys if we spend £40m on Jsl or £20m on a champ striker? Why are we so protective over what the owners spend or not?
28 Dec 2025 15:04:16
Agreed.
