I see we are/have "looked at?"
What happened to Ueda (Feyenord) anf Muniz (Fulham) ?
However, in the grand history of Leeds United, we all know how this will play out,
1) every man and his dog touted for every position
2) Last minute out of nowhere Billy Nobody is declared our
new recruit.
3) Mad Google scramble to find out who the heck he is!
It happens every year.
1.) 19 May 2026 18:59:13
Indeed, Leo, 99.5 % of names rumoured, proposed, suggested, "linked", clickbaited wont materialise at all.
And, there will likely, as usual, be very protracted summer-long rumours of 1 or 2 players who dont end up joining.
The good news is, there will hopefully be a couple of very good surprises that come out of nowhere, of seriously good players. . A youngish, relatively unknown Raphinha type mark 2 would be awesome!
2.) 19 May 2026 19:28:06
I pray your last sentence comes true, Baz.
3.) 21 May 2026 13:58:03
1. It's not the board creating the 'rumours', most of which are bulls***.
2. Most people had to refer to Google to find out who Tanaka, Stach, Gudmonssen, Bijol were, and all have been big hits.
3. For those transfers we had heard of, many fans were critical of DCL, Bogle, Justin, and they've all been great.
Personally, I trust this recruitment team more than any previously.

Well said Benny!
5.) 22 May 2026 11:30:09
Do you live in any of the aforementioned countries, Mr Benny?
22 Jul 2025 14:38:37
Anybody any insight into this new name in the frame - Marc Guiu?
1.) 22 Jul 2025 15:23:29
19 I believe Chelsea 5th choice nice player but not fully proven.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 18:48:05
Neither was Lukaku when he went to West Brom all those years ago
A Chelsea 5th line player would still be a good addition for us at this time. Ampadu wasn't a Chelsea regular but is doing very well for us.
3.) 22 Jul 2025 18:48:06
We're not interested, Guiu will end up on loan in the Champ.
4.) 23 Jul 2025 07:52:35
Lukaku had scored 43 senior goals before joining West Brom, Guiu has 8, would not be a good signing.
5.) 23 Jul 2025 10:26:59
Stick that in your pipe and smoke axe ?.
6.) 23 Jul 2025 20:05:48
Borate. your right.
22 Apr 2025 16:25:39
I wonder how much weight there was to newspaper reports of "Leeds are interested in". I have forgotten some of the recent ones. To see if they resurface. Except for some reason? Diego Luna.
Let's see if we are still interested (if we ever were) .
17 Mar 2025 17:48:03
What do people think of the return of the Prodigal Son?
When he was with us he performed admirably (tho there were some notable detractors) however for the price we would pay and the player we would have to drop he does not now seem the ideal choice. Who could split a Ampadou/ Tanaka partnership. That is not even taking into consideration his average performances in his recent history.
No, for me the Kalvin Philips/ Leeds Utd partnership has had its day and as the old adage goes "never go back*.
1.) 17 Mar 2025 19:22:55
Said pretty much the same mate.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 21:47:53
Pure clickbait guff . never happening imo.
3.) 17 Mar 2025 21:50:12
LUFC players that came back and played well
John Lukic
David Batty
Peter Lorimer
Frankie Gray
Probably others.
4.) 17 Mar 2025 22:10:40
Scott Sellers
David Harvey
Etc etc.
5.) 17 Mar 2025 22:53:17
Ian Baird.
No thanks KP.
6.) 18 Mar 2025 14:25:29
We will lose a few players when we're promoted.
Bring KP back.
7.) 19 Mar 2025 00:04:11
I think there's a deal to be done - as ever at the right price.
Is Phillips right now worth the clickbait £20m mooted, absolutely not. Is it true that his best form and performances came for us? Yes. Media have to read the climate too. If he can't get in the Ipswich lineup regularly and is an albatross contract for City, their bargaining power really isn't all that. I'd offer a loan with maybe 40-50% of his wages, and an offer linked to appearances to buy out his final year entirely (about £8m) if a clause of say 25 league appearances is met. If the love/ motivation of playing for Leeds again nets us a player that's 80/ 90% of the one that left its a good deal. City might think they can do better than that, if so good luck to them.
I happen to think Phillips would be an upgrade on Gruev (who has done a lovely job for £5m-but would be found out in Prem) .
30 Jan 2025 17:30:06
Could we be interested in Chuba Akpom? Just reading Sunderland are sniffing.
1.) 30 Jan 2025 18:35:39
When it comes to the haphazard not exactly proactive nor efficient nature of LUFC recruiting
I find myself listening and empathising with Demi Lovato's power ballad :
" ANYONE! ". ???
#getusastriker.
2.) 30 Jan 2025 20:10:54
No links from LUFC to Akpom that I know of.
3.) 30 Jan 2025 20:44:29
Heard Leicester were in for him.

What last night showed was that their bench is better than our bench. Their depth is deeper than our depth. Given where we are, no great shock but just wish it would have been a fluky 0-1 defeat.
I did say last year, and again this, our only aim must be a smooth sail through the Prem.
No nail biting come April. I would be happy with (an easy) mid table finish.
Personally, I do not want a Mickey Mouse Europe place. Not just yet anyway, maybe next year?
1.) 10 Sep 2026 10:57:36
Absolutely bang on Leodis.
31 Aug 2026 16:01:15
Not that long ago we all called for incisive MF for more killer balls and 3/4 were touted (I can only remember Hamer but there were more) . What has happened? We still need one.
Our problem this year will be (service and) goals.
29 Aug 2026 20:06:03
The only rumour I am not too keen on is - Mudryk.
He promised so much when going to Chelsea but in most games I have seen him in he has lamentably failed to impress. I have even seen a video of Gary Neville with the comment that the only are he excels in is speed in a straight line.
However he dissapoints in his ability to beat a man and then to cross accurately.
A bit of a basic requirement for a Winger don't you think?
Still I would have to trust in the scouts and prayer, if he does arrive.
1.) 30 Aug 2026 08:41:38
Ieodis, if it's a deal, then we will pay way over the top for Mud.
28 Jul 2026 19:49:24
Is Trafford actually official?
1.) 29 Jul 2026 05:34:11
Maybe today?
2.) 29 Jul 2026 06:40:21
Not included in the Citeh touring squad, which would suggest it's imminent!
3.) 29 Jul 2026 08:36:08
He wouldn't have been in the squad anyway due to the WC and mandatory break. He was on holiday.
24 Jun 2026 17:45:03
Another signing for Wales FC?
1.) 24 Jun 2026 20:53:16
Yep, 5 Welsh international starters playing for LUFC.
DJ, Harry, Rodon, Amps and Darlow.
This is only rivalled by the Leeds United Eight Scottish full international players of the 1970s, many of them starters (when available/not injured) .
Lorimer, Bremner, Eddie Gray, Frank Gray, Jordan, McQueen, David Harvey and David Stewart.
2.) 25 Jun 2026 08:18:54
Was Arthur Graham an international when we signed him?
3.) 25 Jun 2026 08:58:35
Arthur Graham became a full international after we signed him from Aberdeen, LUFCfeath. 1977 onwards.
Seriously, very good player, was AG.
4.) 25 Jun 2026 10:15:09
And, underrated Baz. Other Scots who came later: Derek Parlane, George McCluskey, Derek Lilley, David Hopkin, to name a few, of varying, if little, success. Then the two maestros, Gordon Strachan and Gary McAllister.
5.) 25 Jun 2026 12:34:10
I used to love McCluskey when I was a nipper.
12 Jan 2023 16:33:38
Personally I am still awaiting Red Bull?
08 Sep 2022 13:37:40
He sounds top notch but my only misgiving would be; if he is so good why not a starter for 11th placed Fiorentina. Surely they must see his exponential growth.
I hope you are right and he is a gem waiting to be found, we could do with another Raphina. Law of averages says that somewhere out there is some young lad, with it all, waiting to be discovered.
05 May 2022 10:01:22
It may be a bit Rocky when he is here?
14 Dec 2021 21:04:22
It so annoys me to read we are after a new striker when we have a 30 goal a season striker in the U23s that doesn't get played?
14 Aug 2021 16:06:56
A good thought but we are leaking in the middle not on the wing.
31 Aug 2026 20:14:59
Baz, I was responding to EKBK's post. Now, I think most supporters would like a top 3 finish this year, but actually I think EKBK will be nearer the mark.
By the way, I was a supporter in the 60s, 70s until now, and will continue to be until the day I die, but I am also a realist.
I am also older, wiser, and a tad more patient.
31 Aug 2026 15:54:06
I wish I had kept a note of all the names we were linked with. Some, I know, are clickbait, but many out there are ovenready.
It seems it's the Leeds way, Lastminute.com.
31 Aug 2026 15:51:33
Amps is not a CB? You're forgetting his solid partnership with Rodon when called upon.
31 Aug 2026 15:48:53
10 - 16. I do not care so long as we do it with ease.
30 Jul 2026 11:03:45
Don't care where they finish. So long as it's below us.
