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.

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. ?☹️

Sunday’s edition of Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo reports that Marc Casado has interest from six Premier League clubs, including Leeds. Barcelona are reportedly willing to sell the 22-year-old, with around €30m previously cited as their asking price, while Casado is assessing his options before the deadline.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 10:41:24
Midfielder?
2.) 31 Aug 2026 11:10:19
Yes, a defensive one. Plays at the wrong end of the pitch for our greatest need.
3.) 31 Aug 2026 22:58:05
Really, we can't even get someone from Burnley, you think we're gona get someone for Barca lmao, no one is coming, we're done. I only hope it's enough.

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. ?

Bogle renews his contract to 2030.
19 Aug 2026 20:40:17
Rodon signs a new contract taking his deal to 2030. Another cracking piece of business.
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.
03 Sep 2026 07:20:24
Had we got the offer earlier in the window, I think we would have taken it, but with low squad numbers, lack of left-sided and ST cover, and uncertainty about Bahoya, we would have been daft to accept on the final day.
22 Sep 2026 13:50:29
Cheshire - all the info you are whining and speculating about is in the public domain. If you do some research you will quickly find out the logical answers to your conspiracy theories.
21 Sep 2026 08:12:53
Most fans sti have a massive amount of ambition, but many of us also have patience and realism. We are building and it will take time.
17 Sep 2026 06:36:14
If you have a ticket but can no longer use it as a member you can contact the club and get a refund and they will just re-sell it.
16 Sep 2026 17:50:38
It will be for stats I imagine and a potential golden boot / top scorer if that is possible. Plus TBF DCL did so all the work - Bogle's alleged touch didn't alter the course of the ball or have any significant impact on the goal imo so DCL deserves it.
16 Sep 2026 15:39:30
Elvedi has looked excellent for the most part and that is a big relief due to the Rodon injury. Over the course of a season I think all of our CBs will get minutes but if it means we don't have to rush Rodon back that is a massive bonus.
