Dcl back in the England squad and the only other 'real' CF selected besides Harry Kane. Great for Leeds and great for him.
1.) 18 Sep 2026 10:23:21
He's definitely merited it, also Trafford included, good luck to both of them and who knows we could have two Leeds players playing in the same game, I imagine it's been a few decades since that last happened.
2.) 18 Sep 2026 10:31:42
Big congrats DCL,
and very well deserved indeed for his England International re selection.
3.) 18 Sep 2026 10:50:53
It's quite a while since we even had two in the squad.
4.) 18 Sep 2026 11:32:56
Pleased for them both, not surprised that Bogle wasn't included, he must be banging on the door though.
If Trafford wants the number 1 slot he needs to work on getting the ball out of his feet a lot quicker when under pressure, international forwards won't give him as must time. Everything else in his game is pointing towards taking over from the T-Rex.
5.) 18 Sep 2026 12:03:04
Potentially 13 Leeds players off on international duty. Let's hope none of them come back injured.
6.) 18 Sep 2026 12:29:31
Pleased for dcl but Bogle should be there too.
7.) 18 Sep 2026 12:49:53
Presuming the last 2 will have been KP and Paddy B if they were in the same squads. Sure with the injury records one of them will have been injured.
Don't feel Steele will play over Pickford or Trafford, if nothing else Trafford will train with most the worlds most lethal finishers.
DCL should get some game time but don't see any for Trafford.
8.) 18 Sep 2026 13:29:40
Bamford played but Phillips was an unused substitute in that game against Andora.
It was Bamford's one and only appearance.
I checked it up and it 2002 with Mills, Bowyer and Smith in a friendly against Portugal.
Bit of useless information there ?
I thought living in the past Baz might have been on that ?.
9.) 18 Sep 2026 13:38:02
eh its great but outside of world cup qualifiers these days I much prefer them playing for Leeds.
For them its great - a huge honour to play for the country and a reward for all the hard work. Its just my personal attachment to England is a lot lower than it was 10-20 years ago.
Part of it is I think the lack of jeopardy. These aren't world cup or euros qualifiers, or high-profile friendlies with Brazil, Germany, or Argentina. Even with World Cup Qualifiers and especially Euros, its very difficult for any team not called Italy to qualify. We could finish second or third in our qualifying group and make it.
Contrast that with qualifiers for 2002, the Greece Game, 2004 euros qualifiers where Turkey home and away was big, or 2006 qualifiers where we had to take maximum points in both legs against Poland. Or even 2008 and not qualifying at all.
For a lot of players I think the first 10-15 caps are the novelty and experience. Then if its not a meaningful qualifier they'd rather be resting. Expansion hasn't translated into better engagement for me.
But well done to DCL and Trafford, think they're both in the mold of 'I still love this' so absolutely chuffed for them. Just come back safe lads!
10.) 18 Sep 2026 14:00:32
Haha very good OP.but erroneous a tad
Actually I am a past, present and future guy
Past - Leeds United have a rich tapestry, fascinating, illustrious history that I cherish and enjoy
Present - living in the here and now
Future - I do like predicting the future as you well know #Bazadamus.
11.) 18 Sep 2026 15:00:55
Got that one wrong well done to DCL will be interesting to see if he actually get to play full 90.
12.) 18 Sep 2026 15:03:45
Jr16 keep your ?hopeful there will be no injuries.
13.) 18 Sep 2026 16:06:34
Glad to hear that Baz, don't ever stop.
06 Sep 2026 11:27:18
On another positive note, I thought Tanaka had a good game yesterday and was well worth his starting place. And Elvedi looks an absolute baller. What a great signing. MOT.
1.) 06 Sep 2026 13:24:51
Tanaka indeed played well yet again. And he reminds me somewhat of the supremely effective talent Lee Bowyer.
A wiry frame, deceptively quick, bundles of energy, often marauding forwards into the box, and, most importantly, looks able to score quite a few goals.
If Tanaka can increase his goal output towards Lee Bowyer numbers, Leeds will have themselves a very useful player indeed.
2.) 06 Sep 2026 13:29:44
Tanaka definitely made a big difference to the midfield yesterday. He's such a tenacious tackler and good on the ball. He's quite capable of 6 plus goals a season.
On another note, I don't expect the new winger or even Wilson to get too many starts?
3.) 06 Sep 2026 14:42:02
A rare good game for Ao. No idea why he was selected. But today it worked. A one off game, for me, is just a game. No need for comparison. If he does it all season, good for him and us.
25 Aug 2026 19:07:20
Woaah, Forest have paid £50M for Delap. Hope I don't live to regret this, but that seems a ridiculous price. I still think we can do better for that kind of money.
1.) 25 Aug 2026 19:47:53
British premium tax.
21 Aug 2026 15:51:54
Mudryk on loan to Leeds? So says Sky.
1.) 21 Aug 2026 16:32:14
I hope not.
2.) 21 Aug 2026 16:36:02
Why not? He would be a great loan signing if we could get him.
3.) 21 Aug 2026 16:52:34
Chris Chris says no no.
4.) 21 Aug 2026 16:59:14
Wouldn't mind. As it's a loan, it's definitely not a priority problem position, though.
5.) 21 Aug 2026 17:06:15
Not played any proper football for a year. Sounds a waste of time like another Buonanotte.
6.) 21 Aug 2026 17:13:42
Baz, I think the LW is a high priority position for the club.
Hence, we have had genuine links with
Paixao
Leao
Mudryk
Problem: Okafor is injury-prone, and he did have a run, I believe, of 16 games last season without any G&A.
A loan makes sense, probably with an option/obligation, freeing up money for a 10 or a 9 or both.
One thing's for sure, the next 10 days are going to be interesting.
7.) 21 Aug 2026 17:24:52
Fair post, Dave, re Okafor's injury record. Willy plays LW. Largie too if Leeds don't sell him.
Striker and LB more pressing.
8.) 21 Aug 2026 18:45:38
Largie is going, as he's not got a squad number.
Willie G could go, but the financial gain wouldn't be great, as Zurich have a 40% sell on clause.
Mudryk has kept fit, with double sessions six days a week, away from Chelsea.
He's not match sharp, but it appears he has looked after himself. He'd be a good alternative to Okafor, but Chelsea want a straight loan with no obligation. They want to see whether he can get back to the player he once was.
9.) 21 Aug 2026 20:00:04
Sounds like the disagreement is more about Leeds guaranteeing lots of game time. Coventry probably get him if we don't. He has expressed preference to Leeds. There might be a converted utility left wing back there, given he would have lcb cover.
10.) 22 Aug 2026 08:13:02
Okafor would always be chosen over Mudryk, but Okafor is not generally a 90mins player, so Mudryk, if he did come, would come on as sub in most games.
If Okafor, like last season, had few injury breaks, then Mudryk would hardly start a game, which I imagine Chelsea would not be happy with.
I can see why Leeds might be interested in loaning him for the season as cover for Noah, but I'm not convinced he's the right player for Leeds.
27 Jul 2026 20:42:52
I love the new home shirt. There. I said it.
(Takes cover )
1.) 27 Jul 2026 21:13:22
I like it as well.
2.) 27 Jul 2026 21:20:40
Sorry guys, I don't - I wish I did but I just don't.
Hopefully it looks better in the flesh than it does in the photos. :)
3.) 27 Jul 2026 21:36:57
Bought it in Turkey last month it's nice.
4.) 27 Jul 2026 22:10:47
It was s**** a month back and it's still s****.
I'm like Cleggy, was hoping it would grow on me.
5.) 27 Jul 2026 22:21:34
The good news is,
The LUFC tea towel kit is marginally better than LUFC 1970s orange away kit.
The not so good news,
is that it would also not look out of place in a John Lewis store's kitchen dept .. kitchen linen accessories section.
6.) 27 Jul 2026 23:01:56
Before I comment, I never buy the shirts these days due to them being utterly disgustingly priced (all teams gouge their fans) , so it somewhat doesn't matter how I feel about it, that being said, regardless of my moral high ground, I wouldn't buy this one. I have a photo of me when I was about 5 years old, aside from the Red Bull logo it's about the same shirt! Who knew I (well my gran) was duped into buying a hideous Leeds T shirt 60 years ago!
I think it might appeal to 5 year olds or as Baz said, for those whose kitchens are still locked in the 70s.
7.) 28 Jul 2026 00:07:36
Yuk yuk. Tea towel indeed.
8.) 28 Jul 2026 06:45:59
I agree, Aus. Tea towel sums it up. Come to think about it, I may have one in my cupboard from the 60s. ?
9.) 28 Jul 2026 11:38:42
Is that the last time you did the washing up, Whiteman?
10.) 28 Jul 2026 20:11:18
I won't be buying one at the inflated price they'll be asking. That said, I don't love it but don't dislike it either. Different strokes for different folks.
31 Aug 2026 22:13:59
No disrespect, and I am biased, but why would he choose Ipswich over Leeds? Surely we're a better prospect.
31 Aug 2026 16:09:18
When does the ER rebuild kick into our revenue? Is it the season after next - 28/29? That's not long.
20 Aug 2026 13:43:25
Lille interested in Flemming, according to Sky and others.
20 Sep 2026 18:27:50
We're fifth in the table and I think that's a reason to be happy. He sent on Bahoya and the kid was straight in there.
I did only come here for the moans though ;) MOT!
16 Sep 2026 08:45:15
They also need a ticket exchange that's open for everyone, not just season ticket holders. Is there anywhere you can pass tickets on to other fans without the scalping?
31 Aug 2026 16:51:27
Brentford are a really good side and I'm glad of the point. They will be top 7 for sure, and top 5 wouldn't surprise me. Are there 6 PL teams that are better than them? I'm not sure there are. Four out of 6 points, unbeaten, and one goal against us are alright with me for now.
12 Aug 2026 10:06:52
I'm going 12th with these below, from the bottom Hull, Ipswich, Coventry, Palace, Newcastle, Fulham, Bournemouth, Forest.
01 Aug 2026 13:29:35
The Six Million Dollar Man. And I ain't talking about our new centre forward.
