Very real chance Leeds are done after Zetterer, Farke turning down every striker suggestion recruitment give him.
1.) 28 Aug 2026 13:09:12
Yay. not.
2.) 28 Aug 2026 13:13:36
But Farke is heavily involved in transfers and, no doubt, targets. Surely he has suggested to Underwood @ co who he would like?
3.) 28 Aug 2026 14:30:07
Lille aren't going to overpay for Fleming, and there are suggestions that the fee will be £17m plus add ons. Surprised it's that low if it's correct. If we don't get a striker then the good early work on Wilson, Trafford and the two defenders becomes a bit of a let down. Teams who don't score enough goals go down.
4.) 28 Aug 2026 18:06:13
Teams who can't defend go down. We have a better keeper, defence, and forward line than last season. Yes, we need backups, but we have a far better starting lineup than last year, so I don't understand the talk of relegation. The reality is that, whatever we did in this window, there would always be moaning fans, as there are every window.
We've bought 4-5 players who significantly improve the squad, got rid of some dead wood, and held onto our best players. That's a pretty decent window, in my eyes, and there are still a few days left.
5.) 28 Aug 2026 18:59:47
Yep, defence and mf need to be solid and good. Signing Rutter instead of a marquee mf for that record 40m got us relegated, good as he was. We needed to back up Philips with a quality 6/8 first season back in the Prem. Sliding doors. Does Philips even get injured? An Okafor clone, and a real high quality 6/8 beside Ampadu to facilitate a stronger, consistent 5,3,2, establishes this team with a very high ceiling, imo.
Play a false 9 if it comes to it, to the next window. Still think a 9 is coming. Keepers out, keepers in, defenders out, defenders in, Piroe out, someone in.
6.) 28 Aug 2026 20:19:26
We may well not get the additional striker we all think we need, but, with respect, LeedsITK, I do not believe you know whether or not Farke is turning down every striker suggestion recruitment gives him.
7.) 28 Aug 2026 21:14:58
LeedsITK usually spot on, to be honest. However, I called it, have a feeling we are done now. Money spent.
8.) 28 Aug 2026 22:16:52
What JR said.
9.) 29 Aug 2026 03:42:24
On Jun 17 TheLeedsITK said "We will be signing Shea Charles, #YouHeardItHereFirst."
Then, on Jun 19 the two of you agreed that "Harry Wilson and Julian Brandt are close to signing" and "Wilson announced next 48 hours."
Two of those things never happened, and the third took 3 weeks rather than 48 hours, so you have to accept that I'm somewhat sceptical of the accuracy of both your claims.
We'll all know the truth by 11pm Tuesday.

Bornauw set to leave Leeds and join Hamburg (wants more game time) .
Replacement likely to be Nico Elvedi.
1.) 10 Aug 2026 18:16:09
There are two problems.
The first is that whoever comes in will be a squad player, not a starter, unless we have injuries.
I know Bournauw wants game time, but we need a squad that's capable of progressing in the PL even more.
The second is that Hamburg prefer a loan with no obligation.
They value Bournauw at no more than we paid. Based on what he's done in pre-season, they're miles off, and don't have the cash to make a sensible offer.
It's the same with Valencia and Ramz. They want him for half price at most. If they don't cough up, then keep him as an impact squad player.
2.) 10 Aug 2026 19:56:13
Just seen one report that Ramz is training on his own. Not sure if there's any substance, as it is only one post.
However, if it is true, then I would be disappointed. Even if the Club wants to move him on, he's still one of ours until he leaves and should be treated with some respect.
The same applies to all the others, such as Joffy.
I don't see the point of caving in to Valencia and letting him go for virtually nothing. We do seem to be a soft touch when selling.
3.) 10 Aug 2026 20:25:12
Both good, logical posts there, Dune..
Such a soft touch when selling.
4.) 10 Aug 2026 20:42:22
We most definitely are a soft touch, but it's no good having players not happy in and around the dressing room. We've been a soft touch for years.
5.) 10 Aug 2026 21:15:34
Ramazani won't be going to Valencia. Corberan doesn't want him.
6.) 10 Aug 2026 21:57:39
But the CEO does. Good cop, bad cop. Trying to soften us up.
7.) 11 Aug 2026 07:37:28
Wrexham the latest linked with Joffy. Can see that, as they came close last year, and if he repeated his Hull form, he could make a difference. Offer suggested is £4.5m!
Need a firm bid, and then it can get into an auction.
8.) 11 Aug 2026 09:03:59
Good move for Joffy. Ambitious owners, close to his old "home" (Wigan/Liverpool) , and a team who will be pushing for promotion. Fee of around 5m is around what I'd probably expect in his last year of his deal. Take it and move on.
9.) 11 Aug 2026 13:14:28
They should take Piroe as well, and they will easily be in the promotion battle.
15 Jun 2026 12:34:23
Talks for Harry Wilson on a free progressing, could be done this week.
1.) 15 Jun 2026 14:18:35
Hope so but.
is the ITK in your username.
In the know
Or
I thee kid?
Hopefully the former.
2.) 15 Jun 2026 15:52:16
You'll know before the week is up ;)
3.) 15 Jun 2026 17:14:55
Like all those who award themselves that appellation, he/she will be quick to say "told you so" if it turns out to be correct, and to keep shtum if not. The only people really 'in the know' are called Underwood, Farke, Marathe, etc. All the others are just wannabes.
4.) 15 Jun 2026 17:18:34
Hear hear, JR!
Ain't that the truth!
5.) 15 Jun 2026 19:00:44
Touchy, aren't you, JR? Plenty of people get an inside scoop of goings-on at the club. There are 10+ examples from just the last few seasons of players none of us had ever heard of being talked up on Leeds forums before any reporter had them.
6.) 15 Jun 2026 19:38:33
Mr Tiffany reported this on X a few weeks ago.
7.) 15 Jun 2026 20:03:41
Irrespective of whether it's true or not, the rumours section does not profess to be accurate. However, the same description could be provided to the majority of the football-based internet sites, whose primary purpose is to attract enough followers to flog advertising, which in turn pays the salaries of the contributors.
It's all just a bit of harmless fun. If it bothers some, I would recommend just focusing on the other sections of this site.
Personally, I thoroughly enjoy the speculations, however far-fetched, especially those historically provided by Alf and LAD.
8.) 15 Jun 2026 20:04:01
Well, one thing is very likely re Harry Wilson. Don't expect him to make a decision by the end of this week.
As there are these scenarios.
1) Harry Wilson is waiting on a potential move to a Champions League club. Villa are waiting to see if Morgan Rogers leaves Villa (with Villa then possibly interested in him) .
Or.
2) Harry Wilson is waiting to see who Fulham recruit as coach before possibly deciding to accept a lucrative new contract.
Or.
3) Harry Wilson wants to play with his Welsh mates at Leeds.
Hmm, we shall see. probably in August.
9.) 15 Jun 2026 20:20:30
Class mate, the likes of Alf, from what I can make out, literally just posts the transfer rumours from NewsNow. Maybe he has inside info, I don't really know, but every time I have read one of his "scoops" I have literally read the exact same thing that day on NewsNow. Maybe Alf works for NewsNow, that would explain it?
10.) 15 Jun 2026 20:52:19
Exactly, Class!
Share what you hear / read! It keeps interest up in a dead closed season, and if anyone is gonna just take a huge dump on everything shared, then stick to the banter page!
Rumours are just that!
11.) 15 Jun 2026 20:54:47
Could be Alf is moonlighting, Corkey! Plus Alf saves me the job of trawling through LeedsNewsNow.
I totally get we only really know when a player is actually signed, but some people do hear things from insiders within clubs. I still hear Brighton insider gossip from a mate, and accept most doesn't come to fruition, but he does get early scoops, like medicals and agents visiting the training ground, etc.
He told me Verbruggen's agent is not very welcome at the Amex Central just now, as he's been a pain in their butt since they first signed him and is desperate to leave. Don't rate him personally, as he has a simple error in him most games.
12.) 15 Jun 2026 23:28:36
No WACCOEITK I'm not touchy, just sceptical. You say that there are examples from just the last few seasons of players none of us had ever heard of being talked up on Leeds forums before any reporter had them. Maybe there were, but to be clear I'm not talking simply about rumours being discussed on fans forums like this one, I love them and reference them myself frequently, some turn out to have a germ of truth in them, most turn out to be pie in the sky. No, I'm referring to stories like the one at the top of this thread which said "talks for Harry Wilson on a free progressing, could be done this week", that statement claims a level of knowledge that I doubt that the writer possesses - unless he's planted a bug in Adam Underwood's office.
As Baz says, Wilson has a number of options, and I for one don't anticipate him reaching a decision til much later in the window, but that's just my guesswork. Leeds have likely agreed framework terms with him in anticipation of a move, probably so too have Villa and Everton and maybe others, but that means nothing til he finally makes a decision, what that will be we'll all have to wait and see.
13.) 16 Jun 2026 07:50:48
Think people are vastly overexaggerating the interest Harry Wilson is getting. He's 29 and has one properly good Prem season in his career. He isn't getting Champions League teams sniffing around.
He's settling for £100k p/w and three years (something Fulham aren't willing to do) at a middling Prem club - Leeds.
14.) 16 Jun 2026 10:08:28
Think posts should be read and treated fairly. None of us are right all the time. Think you a bit harsh on original post, JR, tbh.
15.) 16 Jun 2026 10:37:10
Spot on. ? Follow up post, JR.
16.) 16 Jun 2026 17:02:43
Don't think I'm being harsh, Aus. Leeds have almost certainly had exploratory contract talks with Wilson via his agent, maybe other clubs too. However, for reasons of commercial confidentiality, all knowledge of those discussions will almost certainly be confined to a very small group at ER, and for any outsider to imply that they know how talks are progressing is manifestly absurd.

Either way, he's coming.
28 Aug 2026 12:30:59
Plettenberg is behind the times, Zetterer is literally in Leeds right now.
Baz, wrong as usual.
24 Aug 2026 13:51:30
Joe Tiffany gets absolutely miles more wrong than right, not even close.
24 Aug 2026 13:51:06
That flight was booked days before the Mudryk news even came out. It's nothing.
21 Aug 2026 14:06:37
Leeds Leaks is a troll unfortunately, would be a good signing
