Free agents are interesting, wondering if any player makers out there.
Would love Wilfred Saha, he could play wing, #9 or 10, I is on around 2mil per year.

Saha's quite a good shout, Melbourne. 👏 And I really liked Mahrez, a quality, talented player, but 35 now.

03 Sep 2026 01:24:06 I don't even hate Vardy as an emergency bench option if DCL got injured and we needed someone to be a nuisance up front when Nmecha comes off. He managed 7 for a relegated Serie A team last yr.
I like Mahrez and Zaha too. Elsewhere, Zinchenko and Solly March aren't bad shouts. Easy to say as fans, but I'd invite genuine contenders to train with the squad a few weeks, build the fitness, and see if they fit the 'no idiots' vibe.
Money talks too. Has to be reasonable wages. Ofc not all of them. One if any. But some interesting names out there.
He was being mooted as a potential Liverpool target back in January and this is what a Liverpool analyst, Bence Bocsak wrote about him a few months ago:
'Bahoya completed 72.5% of his 4.66 dribbles per 90 in the Bundesliga this season.' ⚡
'His best role is as a touchline winger who puts crosses, through balls and cut-backs to facilitate the forwards ahead of him.'
'He had a great partnership with Hugo Ekitike during their time at Frankfurt.'
'Works really hard off the ball as well.
4 recoveries per 90. Won 70% of 5.01 defensive duels per 90. 2.56 interceptions per 90.'
'Extremely fast but technical, too. Quick, shifty feet. Great link-up player, nice one touch passer.'
'In the right system, he will flourish.' 💪

Good bit of research there, Brighty. Did check a few vids of him, and he does look like he knows how to supply the ball effectively, something that Calvert Lewin desperately needs, some quality balls to him.

Not the first article I've read highlighting his defensive workrate as being quite high too. Promising signs.

The more you look at our business this summer, the more impressive it looks. Real quality, Muharemovic looks superb, JT needs no explaining, Wilson gives us another attacking option, Elvedi is class with loads of experience at a high level, decent second keeper and I have a feeling Bard will prove an absolute bargain.
Then we have the X factor in Bahoya who could be awesome. Lots of deadwood cleared out. It's a very promising start to the season, siblings. 😁

Keeping fingers crossed that Bahoya is the real deal - could do with another Raphinha!
Also fingers crossed that DCL stays fit.
As several have said, it has been a pretty decent window with some quality additions and upgrades.

I am really liking the attributes of our new signing Bahoya.
- Lightning fast.
- Throughballs for forwards to run onto.
- Lots of defensive duels won.
- Cutbacks for players to strike at goal.
- Works really hard off the ball, etc.
Woah.
A sort of left sided Dan James.
Happy days.

Ah stop it, Baz. I'm sure we all hope he's not another DJ type?!
3
02 Sep 2026 22:36:11
Well, yes Corkey, we probably all expect Bahoya to be much better in most aspects.
Having said that, I am very confident and hopeful that current Leeds United top scorer Dan James is going to have a good / very good 26/27 season. 💪

02 Sep 2026 23:56:56
Baz, do you dream of DJ every night?

Hehe CA, nah, just joshing with you peeps.
02 Sep 2026 15:51:12
Anyone fancy one of the free agents that are available to boost the squad number?
0
02 Sep 2026 18:16:59
It's really quite surprising, some names on that list; real players that have totally lost their way.
I guess, we need to see if we have submitted a full 25 player squad list to the EPL; any gaps and there might be a chance.

Ryan free?
2
02 Sep 2026 19:35:44
Kent afford him. 😂
2
02 Sep 2026 21:59:55
A few names stand out, such as Jadon Sancho, Anthony Martial, Wilfried Zaha, Jordan Ayew, etc., but none that I'd jump at adding to the team. Think we're good for now, maybe something will pop up in January, maybe not.
02 Sep 2026 10:06:19
Everton fans fuming with Kinnear only 1 striker left at the club and not 1 right back their defence is slow too can't wait to see Bahoya run past them. 🤣

02 Sep 2026 10:57:29
Yep, just had, for example, a perusal of the Everton Banter Site.. They are not happy bunnies.
Angus Kinnear will not be on the Toffees fans' Christmas Card list, from reading their posts.

02 Sep 2026 12:17:49
I'd forgotten that Kinnear is working his magic at Everton.

Think Everton have had a terrible window, and if not for Grealish they would be having a terrible season. Leaving themselves with one striker is mental.

02 Sep 2026 13:13:35
They are heavily reliant on Moyes' Premier League experience, and on Barry not getting injured. Most squads aren't reliant on one player staying healthy, but I feel if they lost one of Pickford, Tarkowski or Barry for any length of time, then they will be in a relegation battle.
Suddenly, it makes our situation seem a whole lot better.
Assuming we're only going to play both of our strikers when chasing games for a short period, I'm happy with just the two. Another direct winger was just what the doctor ordered and I feel we've got a real chance of pushing on now.
49ers still haven't mastered the art of removing players but I personally cannot fault their ambition and efforts in the procurement of players.
This is the most realistically optimistic I can remember being! Hopeful for Europe come end of the season! Mot!
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!

Listening to the lads on Radio Leeds, even they were surprised by getting 2 through the door!

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.
02 Sep 2026 07:57:54
For those that feel they still want to moan that we’ve only got two recognized strikers, think about David Moyes’s Everton with only one and their failure to bring one in on the final day of the transfer window.
If you want to complain, have something to complain about!

02 Sep 2026 12:36:37
They'll probably sign Benzema on a Free!

02 Sep 2026 13:04:28
They got thoroughly screwed last night!
I would have loved another option up front, but as another poster said, whose name I forget, we have Okafor who can play there.
8.5/10 window for me.
3
02 Sep 2026 17:09:13
I'm one of those who wanted another out and out striker, but that's a good point, Corkey. Okafor started out as a striker, and with a pacy natural left winger outside him, that could just be a big attacking threat. Maybe I'll up my 7/10 to 8/10.

I think quite a few underestimate DCL's capabilities. For me, I think Everton at the time mismanaged him.
If you look at his injury history, his problems were mostly hamstring injuries that kept him out for very long periods.
If his training regime is kept at a specific level and his game time minutes monitored, which I believe the coaching staff have done, then it's probable that he might not have those reoccurring hamstring issues.
I honestly don't think we need to be so obsessed with our number nine.
Get the right supply to him and Dom will weave his magic.
He's a lot better than some give him credit for.
02 Sep 2026 04:01:39
2 potentially excellent deals over the line in the final few hours, both representing great value for the club, and very capable players added to the squad!
Gotta say that £1.7m loan fee for Bohaya is better than expected, and it appears the sub £5m add ons are "hard to achieve"?!?
An easy 8/10 window!

02 Sep 2026 12:15:28
Great end to the window Brighty.
On a personal note, sorry to see Willy depart, but overall, I am with Alf's earlier post. I score the window 9/10, and, collectively (excluding Raphinia and Pablo) , it is the strongest collection of players, in terms of quality, that I can remember supporting for this incredible team.
But then I'm not certain what I had for breakfast earlier. Did I have breakfast.

02 Sep 2026 13:02:41
Yes, agree losing Willy Gnonto is perhaps, for me personally, the only sour note of this transfer window.
You can see that he would not have been happy with the amount of appearances he made last season, but at the end of the day that's football, and the forever revolving door players and managers that come and go.
2
02 Sep 2026 15:10:34
Agree both re WG, but the game moves on, and at some point so do the players, no matter how likeable they are, and he's a very likeable guy! Best of luck to him - I hope he smashes it up, and goes fwd in leaps and bounds!
