Numb is the feeling, not DCL’s fault and I back and support him (when he actually signs)
The board, well unless there’s another coming and some loose good crossers of a ball then they’ve let everyone down including themselves.
We now have 3 new signings with bad injury records, albeit 2 on free transfers.
Our bast crossed in Firpo has left so we sign a forward who thrives on crosses.
I’m at a loss I really am.

Well given plenty around here said Firpo should never wear the shirt after relegation and Solomon should be sent "back to Spurs. " because of his injury issues.
Maupay couldn't score for a toffee [pun intended] at Everton but certainly bagged a hatful after leaving them.
If he signs, then he should be supported and I for one think it might be a shrewd signing. Chris Wood was always injured and "not good enough! "
This time last season everyone ranting about where our goals were coming from [after Summervile and Rutter left], "Piroe is useless" etc. Funny how we ended up highest scorers and the golden boot.

Small bit of context Ani
Piroe scored roughly 1 in every 2 whilst in Wales, . so he wasn't exactly green at Champo level
We are where we are now, and if like time Radz held back, it turns out that Lewin is last striker, then I am convinced we are in serious trouble with a totally lacklustre bunch of strikers.

Really unsure what to expect from this season, after all 95% of the sporting pundits, population of the country and their pets have us already relegated. So not much to lose and no point having any expectations. I can take Gobby Abigfatbore, shearer, lineker, ally mccoist etc negatives on leeds, but for godsake how many Leeds fans already writing this season off before a ball is kicked.
How many people expected man city to walk the league last season, not many could see how poor (by their standards) they would be.

Agree Dave and Ani - if DCL signs and pulls on the shirt then let's back him to the hilt.
Who knows, it might even turn out to be an inspirational signing:)

Mezz, I think the negative reaction are a result of things the club and they stuff they have said have caused.
They have seemingly ✊?? their load chasing Paixao and Muniz, even when Paixao said he only wanted to go to prison FC and Fulham constantly said not for sale. Yes Muniz is probably going to end up at Atalanta for £50m.
I’d rather we didn’t spend £50m on 1 player, we aren’t there yet, we are fishing in a much smaller pond than that. However if the club had not set the fans expectations so high with nonsense like “attack the window aggressively “ and “we’ve been hard at work since whenever” and “ I do contracts in my sleep” then maybe there wouldn’t be such a negative backlash.
We must have another striker to follow as I can’t see how we go with DCL, Nmecha, Piroe when the latter 2 haven’t played prem football.
We need 2 wingers as starters, not bloody Solomon but proper quality who can cross a ball and score goals at the top level.
Then let’s not forget the fullbacks and possible an attacking midfielder.
I do think if we can keep DCL fit and we can supply him he will definitely score goals for us. He is a handful when fit and firing.

Really have to agree wiv Mezza an Ani here, as I have said before we don't know until a ball is kicked in anger who has what. Now as MoT perfectly pointed out, the last 2 seasons have been incredible and there were still the same doubts expressed, all through both seasons! C'mon lads, we are Leeds, we support Leeds, we all love Leeds. There are plenty of knockers, don't be a Gobby Ping-Pong La Whore on your own family, the boys are going to need all our support and I for one am confident we will more than face the challenge. UTWDTP and MOT to a fantastic season.

Plus, well, just for the hell of it, the Champo is generally regarded as one of the toughest leagues in the world. We won it twice in 5 years and reached the final of the only other season we were in it! That's remarkable! As for DF not being good enough, you won't see another Champo manager garner 190 points in consecutive seasons. That was despite having his squad decimated before his first season, then rebuilding to get a points tally that would normally ensure promotion. Then losing 3 pivotal players before the second and enduring some detracting injuries before securing 100 points, that's stratospheric! Alas, as is the way of the world and society today, nothing is ever good enough. Well, it IS, so far anyway ?.

Nice one Vid.

Dave0123,
How do we know it piroe is premiership quality until he gets the chance to play in the premiership? Arsenals new mega money forward hasn't played in the premiership either yet lots of teams were after him. He played plenty in the championship though, piroe I think has a better scoring record than him .
13 Aug 2025 19:48:24
In Daniel Farke I TRUST get behind the lads who ever pulls that white shirt on mot to all.
13 Aug 2025 20:06:43
Mezz, I never once said that Piroe isn’t prem quality, I said he’s never played at prem level.
My issue isn’t with the players mate it’s with the recruitment team at the moment, hopefully they will deliver what they actually promised in the next 19days.

Dave0123,
I know you never said piroe isn't premiership quality, I said how do we know he isn't premiership quality. wasn't an attack on you fella, just replying to your comment that you can't see how we go with 2 forwards who have not played in the premiership. The point is until any player is given the chance to play then we won't know. And yes like most I guess it would be great if we can sign a experienced premiership player. Personally I think piroe can and will score goals in this league given the chance. Every bit of click bait, news report on who we are in for keep mentioning we need a striker because the powers to be don't trust in piroe being good enough. The guy has come back fitter than ever and deserves his chance, that's all I'm saying.
13 Aug 2025 21:40:47
100% Vid! And I do have a feeling Mezzer that you're right, and Piroe will surprise a few in the PL.
