Reports from Fabrizio that Farke has been given a new contract until 2029. He has also left his agent.
07 Sep 2026 20:48:48
Ekrem Konur claims that Leeds are continuing to monitor Ranger's Nicolas Raskin.
1.) 08 Sep 2026 07:49:34
We've been linked with him for several seasons, even when he was at Liege. Not sure we need another defensive midfielder unless someone is going to leave.
2.) 08 Sep 2026 10:27:13
And his rating ain't that good in D4. Tell you what, we should sign before another midfielder.
3.) 08 Sep 2026 23:17:25
Is Raskin the new Ryan Kent?
4.) 08 Sep 2026 23:47:43
If we want Raskin, we get Raskin due to 49ers link up. We don't need to "monitor" or "eye" him; his credentials are known, should we want him. Don't see it happening unless Gruev moves on.
5.) 09 Sep 2026 07:49:29
Agree with that Waccoe, tho, I dont think its an upside shifting Gruev in his favour.
6.) 09 Sep 2026 08:11:18
Agree with that, Bright. Gruev fits in just fine.
7.) 09 Sep 2026 10:45:54
I can see Leeds committing to a 3 man mf because it's clearly our most successful formation in a 5,3,2. Alternative has to be 4,3,3 if people insist on facilitating an extra attacker because 5,2,3 fails every single time. That means a 6/8 is a necessary signing to upgrade Gruev to someone who can also rotate in the 8 spot, and the quality signed goes a long way to defining the floor and the ceiling of the club.
Charles was perfect. If you're thinking big, then someone like Lamine Camara fits, but it's a critical signing along with a 9.
8.) 09 Sep 2026 11:34:34
Aaaaaand I agree with that too, Pedro!
9.) 11 Sep 2026 02:05:59
Agree with 5-3-2, Pedro. If a midfielder underperforms like Longstaff and Stach atm, we are overrun in midfield. Not sure what players for that formation though.
01 Sep 2026 18:02:26
Bahoya done allegedly - medical scheduled.
01 Sep 2026 17:20:18
Bahoya is the latest name doing the rounds as we aim to do a late deal.
1.) 01 Sep 2026 17:31:28
He's about the best we could hope for at this point. Decent player, very pacey.
2.) 01 Sep 2026 17:33:01
He was born near Disneyland in Paris, just saying. ????
3.) 01 Sep 2026 18:03:08
Quickest ever recorded in Bundes, apparently.
4.) 01 Sep 2026 18:23:38
I like pace. It frightens defenders. However, I remember Steve Kindon at Burnley. He was big and quick, but could only run in a straight line.
Hopefully Bahoya can run at angles as well.
31 Aug 2026 10:44:35
Gnonto gets the Here We Go from Fab and is on the way to Italy. Good luck to him. Loan with option with Fiorentina covering 100% of wages.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 11:06:24
That's interesting, given we said no unless someone comes in. Sad to see Willie go, but he does deserve a chance.
2.) 31 Aug 2026 11:13:02
Got to be 2 attackers lined up now.
It's either going to be exciting over the next 36 hours or a disaster.
3.) 31 Aug 2026 11:40:35
Yeah. Good luck, Willie. Get some game time. ?
4.) 31 Aug 2026 11:43:26
So, we just give a player away with no replacement in first. Wow.
5.) 31 Aug 2026 11:45:51
Mudryk looking likely.
6.) 31 Aug 2026 14:25:36
There doesn't seem to be any one else but Mudryk in the press at the moment. The big sticking point is that Chelsea want guaranteed game time. My view is that, if he's good enough and fit enough, he'll get it. If not, he warms a bench at best. Imagine if that clause was in Buananotte's loan agreement. ?☹️

Excellent result and a much better performance second half. Actually creating some half chances. Could a well overdue change of formation save our season again?
1.) 07 Nov 2026 16:38:05
Absolutely Alf, i think thst game again showed how our defence is, mustard, they will be a big part of our achievements this season. Ok we lack a bit of flair in mid and options up front, but having a defence like that is massive.
Quick word on The Ok, his awareness pace and power in his run to score was especially impressive as he had only come on a couple of minutes before. Hopefully a little rest then we can push on.
08 Oct 2026 14:02:41
DF: Rodon making good progress, DJ is out for VARsenal, Bahoya had an ankle sprain which is better and Wilson back in team training.
1.) 08 Oct 2026 14:09:00
Great that JR is making good progress.we need him back.
2.) 08 Oct 2026 20:02:33
Baz 100% agree.
3.) 08 Oct 2026 20:40:21
Said it at the time of injury, he seems to always get back quicker than expected. A fast healer apparently.
4.) 08 Oct 2026 23:17:14
Thanks for your concern Baz, but I'm fit and ready to play - if there's a vacancy in the tiddlywinks squad.
5.) 09 Oct 2026 01:11:58
Haha JR we need you and the mighty Joe Rodon
But I had you down as more of a crown green bowling maestro ; something slightly more energetic than tiddlywinks for sure.
6.) 09 Oct 2026 20:02:45
Defo not bowls, I'd probably be banned for making divots on the green with my size 10s. Badminton used to be my game, but dodgy ankles and advancing years put a stop to that.
7.) 09 Oct 2026 23:45:34
Absolutely Baz.

Dominic Calvert-Lewis became the first Leeds player to score 19 goals in his first 45 appearances for the club since Mark Viduka (42 in March 2001) .
Bettered the following:
Wood (47)
Bamford (48)
Beckford (51)
Keane (54)
Hulse (55)
Becchio (56)
McCormack (63)
Piroe (63)
LUFCDATA.
1.) 18 Sep 2026 08:05:28
It's a good stat, one that is not born out of luck or whatever. The coaching staff and especially DCL have worked very hard to get his football career back on track.
Long may that continue I say.
2.) 18 Sep 2026 08:07:31
There's also a really good, stats based article on SSN about him if anyone's interested.
3.) 18 Sep 2026 10:34:44
Truly excellent goal scoring stats by DCL for Leeds United!
And for DCL to be so very close in goal scoring stats to the magnificent Leeds United's Mark Viduka.
4.) 19 Sep 2026 04:39:10
What's the penalty count on above stats?
5.) 19 Sep 2026 12:05:47
A good stat Alf. I think DCL has surprised a few of us on here.
02 Sep 2026 08:01:11
Well done Eds for keeping up with the posts yesterday across all the sites. Sterling effort and appreciated. Hope you are all catching up on some sleep now!
{Ed001's Note - I will just grab a nap here and there until I do! Knackered mate. Nice to actually have some Leeds business done late, don't go to bed yet has been such a big joke for years and finally it meant something.}
1.) 02 Sep 2026 13:12:43
Listening to the lads on Radio Leeds, even they were surprised by getting 2 through the door!
2.) 02 Sep 2026 16:58:58
Despite all the claims of inside info from some people, I think we can honestly say Bahoya is one that nobody saw coming. Him and Fofana were ones I looked up when I read that others were interested, and wondered why we weren't, but never thought we'd go for one of them.

Frankie might be under pressure soon, bless.
As for Leeds, .. can we please try and get points and not get decimated when we play blooming Arsenal this seez .. being thrashed 5 nil and 4 nil last seez by Arsenal was wholly unacceptable.
2.) 30 Aug 2026 09:47:47
Love it, Alf. He didn't see that coming. ??
Pun intended.
3.) 30 Aug 2026 12:52:28
Arrogance personified is the above man. ?
4.) 30 Aug 2026 13:15:39
Love it, Alf. ???
08 Oct 2026 14:08:48
Agree with Aus - if we have the chance to double our money I think we would take it.
16 Sep 2026 15:37:50
Would definitely take him but on a year out at the moment. I personally would let Farke see out this year then bring Howe in next year.
16 Sep 2026 15:36:48
He would probably warrant a wage increase tbh. Has kept fit and scoring as well as can be expected. He is also vital to the leadership group and was one of the reasons we switched to 5 at the back last season midway through the Citeh game so essentially instrumental in keeping us up.
Still better to give him an extension with wage increase than buy someone else financially.
15 Sep 2026 22:28:35
Obligation to buy as I understand so won't make any difference if we play him or not.
12 Sep 2026 20:39:35
Hopefully it isn't true. I would like a change of manager after this season.
08 Nov 2026 07:55:49
I agree it wasnt a red. At first I thought it was but then saw that Bogle was looking at the ball the whole time - no intent at all and it was not a two footed challenge. Just landed in an unfortunate place for Tel.
01 Nov 2026 19:23:50
Absolutely right, Aus.
01 Nov 2026 19:22:20
I can see us getting beaten by Coventry the way we are playing. Farke is hugely limited tactically and always has been. We won't get much better if he stays particularly since he also seems to have lost any courage he once had and just set us up not to lose (or to try anyway)
30 Oct 2026 13:07:50
It's very easy to use an excuse that nobody can actually verify such as we don't see a player in training. Convenient that one since nobody has the opportunity to prove or disprove it.
30 Oct 2026 08:34:46
Sounded more like a load of excuses to me than an actual 'plan'.
