Breaking from Joe Tiffany and supportive of what TheLeedsITK has already posted:
Personal terms agreed with Shea Charles. 4yr deal on the table.
17 Jun 2026 16:23:07.
We don't need him as a priority.
But, we shall see what develops, if anything at all.
I particularly love the following terms.
Transfer fee agreed.
Medical booked.
But, especially.. contract signed.
17 Jun 2026 15:09:34
Fab Rom stating than someone is inbound to ER from the continent for a medical, which has already been booked!? Ooooh!
17 Jun 2026 16:13:50
Flight to East Leeds from Liege which happens to be where Lois Openda is from.
17 Jun 2026 16:24:34
Yay.
.Medical booked ..second only to contract signed.
17 Jun 2026 17:14:43
Too many examples of one happening but not the other, so caution is wise.
Dan James was the prime example; that was a real mess!
17 Jun 2026 01:24:50
NewsNow reports that we're considering taking legal action against Leicester City, same as Burnley did. Maybe a few more £Ms to add to the transfer pot.
17 Jun 2026 07:51:31
Thought we settled on that. Out of court?
17 Jun 2026 08:31:38
Wasn't it Everton that settled with Burnley? This is for the season we lost in the playoffs to Southampton.
17 Jun 2026 08:34:03
That was a settlement by Leeds with Everton (not Leicester) . Aus.
17 Jun 2026 09:00:20
Then fans should sue LUFC for reimbursement on the absolute shambolic attempt at promotion in that game.
It was quite possibly the worst playoff final ever, accruing big costs to our fans.
Sticks in my mind, like it was last Sunday, that game. 🤮
17 Jun 2026 09:26:17
Leeds settled for £1.5m because we weren't relegated, but finished below Everton. Burnley got £30m because they were relegated, and the financial loss was much more significant.
17 Jun 2026 11:31:18
Sorry, should've said "same as Burnley did - with Everton".
17 Jun 2026 13:26:29
We also didn't think we had enough of a case to push for more from Everton. The Leicester case is very different, and the Burnley vs Everton ruling sets a new precedent, which did not exist at the time.
17 Jun 2026 16:25:19
Yep, that Burnley Everton precedent ruling is key.
16 Jun 2026 13:44:19
Leeds are weighing up a move for Southampton's £20m-rated midfielder Shea Charles - Daily Fail.
16 Jun 2026 14:21:34
I'd go for that.
16 Jun 2026 14:34:05
Not sure if I'd pay 20 mill for him.
16 Jun 2026 14:46:26
Blooming hope not. Very underwhelming, meh player and meh stats; plus SC not worth anywhere near £20 million.
Much, much more likely to happen is Harry Gray on season long loan to Sheff Utd.
..Bamford, KP, Rothwell, Gray.. Wilder sure loves Leeds United.
16 Jun 2026 17:03:26
Would be a brilliant signing and well worth £20m, only way to think otherwise is to not have watched much of him.
Top in both boxes, great at carrying the ball, and a good shot on him, and only young.
16 Jun 2026 18:36:39
Wow Daz, you're very easily pleased.
You were watching SC playing in a weakish level Champo last seez, against Champ players (not EPL players) .
Saints, for most of seez, were bossing it, scoring 86 Champo goals.
SC has a good shot, but bottom line, he was only good for 4 of Saints' 86 goals, and he had a mere 2 assists in the Saints' Champo campaign. Hmm.
SC also failed to score in 34 matches in the previous season to that.
So yeah. meh imo.
Yes, he is an energetic player (but we already have energetic players of okish EPL quality) , we don't need yet another!
I would rather Leeds signed 2 to 3 overseas proven quality attacking £30 million plus players, who will definitely make a big difference to our first 11 quality.
16 Jun 2026 22:48:09
The fact that you're judging him on goal contributions says all I need to know. Suppose Ampadu was crap last season because he didn't score enough?
You clearly have not watched any of him if these are your opinions, simple as that.
16 Jun 2026 23:48:25
Your opinion, for what it's worth, Dazza.
We already have Amps, Stach, Tanaka, Longstaff, Gruev, BA.
Instead, we defo have much more pressing needs to recruit in than to blow £20 million on a box-to-box, non-scoring, non-assisting Champo SC.
Good runner, though. 🏃♂️ 😉
Our transfer budget, imo, should be mostly spent on 3 quality, proven players that will make a big difference to our creativity and goalscoring. Pretty please.
We won't sign SC, thankfully.
Aimo
17 Jun 2026 05:54:47
Your opinion, for what it's worth, Baz: no more than that of Daz.
Don't alienate newer posters before they have even been welcomed properly!
17 Jun 2026 07:14:00
Yes, of course, all opinions equally worthwhile, Bright.
17 Jun 2026 07:29:05
We will be signing Shea Charles, good player.
#YouHeardItHereFirst.
{Ed001's Note - looks a good signing on paper, was one of the few players who looked Prem standard for Saints before their relegation.}
17 Jun 2026 07:53:52
Aren't we a stats-based team? Isn't that what guides us to buying certain players, and not others? If true, then Baz would be right. Although you prob never really know if a player is able to step up to us until you try. Even 80-100 mill players can fail.
17 Jun 2026 08:32:38
Lots of other stats other than the very simple ones that Baz googles!
17 Jun 2026 08:36:30
We shall see, LeedsITK.. We already have 6 midfielders.. SC would make 7.. and not one of them an attacking goalscoring midfield playmaker.
17 Jun 2026 13:31:29
Acquisitions can also be made based on player potential as opposed to historical records. Citeh thought that potential was worth putting a 25% sell-on clause in his contract - something you complained we didn't do for Cree's contract in another post, Baz.
Aus, your acknowledgement of only 2 stats in football really speaks volumes about your ball knowledge.
Welcome Wowzer - great name.
On SC, the club has acknowledged that we are admirers, but interest hasn't progressed beyond that currently.
17 Jun 2026 13:59:49
Bottom line..
Leeds United won't be making a bid for SC..
Strikers, LB, CD, GK priorities.
17 Jun 2026 14:41:48
Alf. We need a midfield goal scorer right. Which he ain't. We don't need him. Pointless buying a player we already have five of. Let's blow 20 on something we don't need. Makes sense.
17 Jun 2026 16:26:11
100% correct, Aus. As I have reiterated throughout this thread.
17 Jun 2026 17:29:43
Smyth saying it's likely to be a case of in and out in Mf, so he is likely inbound to replace someone else. Gruev is still injured, and it ain't Amps, so maybe Ao? Just as long as it ain't Stach!
16 Jun 2026 12:25:00
Apparently if the West Yorkshire mass tram system doesn't get the go ahead the Elland Rd redevelopment will halt after the west stand has been completed.
16 Jun 2026 13:45:55
The Leeds Tram is as rare as unicorn s***.
16 Jun 2026 16:39:59
Where's that gem come from Cork?
16 Jun 2026 18:09:06
Bryn Law.
16 Jun 2026 20:57:51
Well I'm nearly 49, born and raised in Leeds, still work in town and they've been talking about the tram in some guise or another ever since I can remember. Lates date I hear mentioned is 2040. It's easy for councillors to to talk about things happening that far away because they know they won't be in the same job by then.
Half of town is pedestrian now so where is it going to go? Not happening in my lifetime (I mean I'm overweight, get no exercise and drink too much so 2040 could still be on!)
16 Jun 2026 22:43:59
The tram system has now got the go ahead, albeit with phase 1 not scheduled to start til the late 2030s, so are they going to start the North Stand extension as soon as the West Stand is completed, or wait til the late 2030s - hypothetical question? However, since we in Britain are piss poor at delivering such projects on time and on budget, the chances of it ever happening are still in doubt.
16 Jun 2026 09:18:03
Read on the BBC gossip pages (Football Insider) that we are looking to sign Diomande (which is great) , but as a replacement for Rondon!
Please tell me this is malicious gossip, that man is a rock that give 200% every game.
16 Jun 2026 10:06:18
No sale Rodon. For less than 80 mill. Simple.
16 Jun 2026 13:30:28
Completely agent-led story, nothing in it.
Multiple other parts of the team need improving before we sign a £40m centre-back.
16 Jun 2026 13:45:11
Not heard of the Rodon angle myself. More expecting it to be Struijk as he enters the final year of his contract.
15 Jun 2026 19:36:46
Latest CB link is for Portuguese Diogo Leite. Besiktas and some Saudi club interested as well.
Rudy Galetti reports.
16 Jun 2026 16:31:58
He plays for Union Berlin and is out of contract, as is his team mate, Doeckhi, another CB we've been linked with.
15 Jun 2026 12:34:23
Talks for Harry Wilson on a free progressing, could be done this week.
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.
15 Jun 2026 15:52:16
You'll know before the week is up ;)
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.
15 Jun 2026 17:18:34
Hear hear, JR!
Ain't that the truth!
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.
15 Jun 2026 19:38:33
Mr Tiffany reported this on X a few weeks ago.
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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
16 Jun 2026 10:37:10
Spot on. 💯 Follow up post, JR.
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.
{Ed001's Note - it is a RUMOURS site. Give it a rest. If you don't like it there are news sites out there for you.}
12 Jun 2026 02:46:31
Harrison off to MLS apparently. Good news.
What’s the coin on Struik? Anybody know?
12 Jun 2026 07:10:02
15m quoted last I saw, which ain't enough imo.
12 Jun 2026 07:16:23
Yeah. I'd have hoped for more for a prem player. 18-20 better. But he obviously wants out. Bit strange, really, as he gets game time. Maybe Farke has told everyone it's 4-4-2 next season.
12 Jun 2026 08:39:21
Just read £20 to £25. He's only one year left on his contract, but left-footed CBs are always in demand. I hope we continue with three at the back, but have the flexibility to change to a back four if required.
He's been here a long time, and sometimes you need the change and a new challenge.
12 Jun 2026 12:29:47
Transfermarkt says Struijk worth £22M and Diomande £42M.
Also says Bijol only £20M and Rodon only £18M, which I find strange.
12 Jun 2026 13:17:54
You're not wrong, JR! Odd value order as well as values!
I'd have Jaka much higher, then Pasc, then Rodon.
12 Jun 2026 13:20:56
Very, very strange, JR. Struijk is worth more than them, lol. Inside dealing, I suspect. Bright?
12 Jun 2026 14:03:10
Always hoped Harrison would go out to the US after his positive spell back in New York early in his career. Makes the most sense.
13 Jun 2026 08:05:21
Two CBs who are rumoured for transfer this window are Vuskovik from Spurs and Van Hecke from Brighton. The clubs are asking for around £60m and £80m respectively. They won't get that, but it makes Pascal look cheap at the suggested valuation.
Brighton have a good record of getting top dollar on sales. They've allegedly turned down Coventry's first offer of £20m for Rushworth.
13 Jun 2026 11:40:17
Indeed, Dune. I was sure Brighton would
be insisting on far more than £20 million for Rushworth.
#topdollarselliingsupremos.
14 Jun 2026 10:29:25
Going to have to buck the trend here re valuations. Bijol couldn't displace Rodon or Struijk in a back 4. He does a fine job as the immovable object in the centre of a 3 where his lack of pace isn't exposed. Rodon has been our best centre half for some time, and Struijk, albeit a few clangers at the end of the season, has done well this year.
and carries a premium for being left footed. which is negated by the length of his contract. c£20mish seems about right for all 3 of them. So we'll probably sell Pascal for half that.
