Why dose it take so long to sort players out at Leeds no new face as yet lots of talking we need input now .
13 Oct 2024 11:04:29
Kouyate has been looked at. At his age he will need guarantees on minutes.
I think he would fit in and let ao play higher. And he is useful in both boxes. He might be able to score from a corner!
Experience in that midfield as well.
As with kamara when a player gets to 30ish most just want pitch time.

We've reportedly pulled the plug on this possibility. Can we recall Gyabi? Perhaps not until January?
13 Oct 2024 17:26:00
Can't call Gyabi until Jan, George.
I'd be happy with Kouyate. I imagine his medical and fitness tests will be what's taking so long if its still on the table. He's not played a lot this past year so we really do need to make sure he's got the legs still. If we don't get him them we need to go for someone like Coquelin who's been at Villareal the past four seasons.
13 Oct 2024 19:01:29
Coquelin mentioned in lots of reports. Was a very good player and if he’s still got the legs would be a shrewd signing.
13 Oct 2024 20:17:49
Dill Poster ILK would no doubt be excited to see your suggestion arrive.
13 Oct 2024 22:46:03
I see what you've done there George! I like coque.
It is unlikely now we will. see any additional players.
Just fingers crossed we don't have anyone else injured.
14 Oct 2024 00:17:32
Any more injuries in CD and midfield and LUFC is forked.
14 Oct 2024 16:20:59
well what about our youth players? many supporters moan that youth don't get a chance (including yourself many many many times Baz such as Davis and Cresswell who you harp on about every other day) and yet we get a few injuries and its all ' we haven't got enough quality players' and 'our midfield is forked'. do you want youth to get a chance or do you want senior signings? Can't have it both ways.
14 Oct 2024 17:44:42
Cuppa I highly rate Leif and Charlie.
Debayo and Crew not so much.
14 Oct 2024 17:46:49
. and Cuppa . Leeds have smallest squad in Champo! . why?
15 Oct 2024 00:29:11
Baz, we have named a smaller squad because that is the only way to use a free agent. If you have registered 25 names in your squad, then you can’t play a free agent (other than a keeper) until January when the window opens again and you register 25 names again.
15 Oct 2024 01:47:11
Ani
what leave 2 spaces for free agent spots that likely aren't ever happening ( Farke himself states he isn't keen on signing free agents outside transfer window re fitness concerns etc )
yep that makes sense.
15 Oct 2024 07:58:11
Well it 100% can’t happen whether Farke likes them or not if they registered 25 names. So, yea, it makes sense, especially if your options in the squad are fringe players who won’t play anyway; you might as well have the option of free agents.
15 Oct 2024 13:52:35
No wonder your faves Gonner Ipswich got promoted last season . they had a 25 man squad from the off who all played their part on pitch.
15 Oct 2024 15:44:09
I think you have always struggled with the rules of association football Baz…it’s 11 a side. What with the 20 odd players we should have bought or shouldn’t have sold, it does make me giggle how you think you would fit them all in a game. Genuine question, if we had managed to get Hamer, who isn’t in the squad?
Ipswich have 25 in their squad again this season Baz…gonner win the league are they Baz?
15 Oct 2024 15:58:30
Ani Ipswich have had 2 successive promotions . ( Leeds a relegation and a failed promotion bid) and are now battling with very strong top clubs in a very tough EPL this season
A bit churlish of you to try to belittle them.
15 Oct 2024 17:11:40
You’re having a laugh Baz…so the EPL was easy for us?
Championship weak, EPL especially tough?
The EPL has the same 17 teams plus the promoted teams every season, what makes it tougher this year?
15 Oct 2024 18:52:30
Ani yes we get it . your clanger of all clangers Ipswich gonners still peeves you off
3rd EPL season ( with several seaaons of EPL mojey ) Leeds United messed up big time. double promotion Ipswich punching above their weight will have it tough. we shall see how it goes
Apart from Southampton no weak team in EPL this season.
15 Oct 2024 20:41:33
Baz, given Ipswich are in the exact same league, have the exact same opposition that we did in our relegation season, then your talking 80ll0ck5 (as usual)
As for Ipswich “clanger of all clangers, ” give it a rest, I couldn’t give two hoots about it, because I don’t have the intellect of a 10 year old. It clearly occupies your tiny mind.
16 Oct 2024 00:38:32
Ani : Give over Ani, in 2022/ 23 for starters newly promoted Bournemouth, Fulham and Forest were nowhere near the level of players squad they have now in 2024/ 25.they are far better now
context fella.
