Leeds Banter 4

Ramz gone to Burnley. £6.5m plus another £2m add-ons. Initial loan but obligation.

01 Sep 2026 15:33:29
Help me out here.

We have been linked with Bardt but nothing done yet.
But Burnley have managed to agree and medical and sign Ramazani on about 25 minutes!

6.5 obligation. Laughing stock, Leeds.


Have you ever seen a club do medicals so slow than us?
I bet it’s Dr Legg from EastEnders doing it!

Great start to the transfer window, catastrophic end! mleedw need to sign a new director of football.



Underwood out!

01 Sep 2026 16:24:04
Will be obviously disappointed if we don't, which, in reality, now looks more than likely.

But, since we came back up, we have spent 60 million on goalkeepers & a big fat juicy zero on strikers. 🤣 Seems so strange.

01 Sep 2026 16:47:12
What Chris said.

01 Sep 2026 16:49:49
It's not Dr Legg, it's more like Private Godfrey from Dad's Army with his Boy Scouts medical bag (one for the youngsters there!) .

Forgive me, but why are we chasing another defender?

Have we got our team chart upside down - heavy at the top, light at the back?

What really amazes me is that everyone on here has been saying we need another striker for several seasons now, and yet nothing seems to happen.

Don't get me wrong, great bit of business getting DCL last year, but we definitely need another 'unit' upfront (even if he sits on the bench and only starts cup games) .

Please hierarchy, pull your finger out this evening and bring in a loanee that can do a job for us!

Hull have signed one today, a medical is going on, another is lined up, and they're hoping to get three more done before the window closes. They are moving some out, including Drameh, who's off to Genoa on loan. If they get them all done, it will be 18 new players. It doesn't guarantee staying up, but they seem to be using the Sunderland survival playbook.

01 Sep 2026 17:08:59
Yep. Ipswich, Hull, Sunderland and Forest before bought a gazillion new players on promotion and changed their entire teams and squads.

It's necessary as Champo level is pretty much pony.

01 Sep 2026 14:49:19
Well lads, not a lot we can do if the club go with what we have, just watch on and support. Positives are the defence is solid and has depth as is also midfield. We all know the weakness but we have options should the need be. Also solid start. Very similar situation and complaints as last summer and winter and we did good still.

Time to give the lads all our support now and credit due for the quality that we have managed to bring in. Alas we don't have the financial room for manoeuvre that other clubs do.

01 Sep 2026 15:12:53
Fair comment that Vid, now time to go onwards & upwards.

01 Sep 2026 15:25:51
Fair enough, Vid. Back the team and players if they perform, but owners, etc., need a slap in the face again. Just poor planning. Amateurs.

01 Sep 2026 15:59:45
Italian window closes at 7pm BST. Not much time for Willie's transfer to be confirmed.

01 Sep 2026 13:15:52
So much negativity on this site, for God’s sake cheer up! We have a better squad than last year with some quality additions. Keep hearing “what if DCL is injured”, well what if he isn’t?
I’m not blind and am well aware that some areas need a boost but we have an excellent squad and have made a decent start to the season so stop carping and get behind the team MOT ALAW.

01 Sep 2026 13:29:10
Yeah, but what if he is?

Why take the same risk for a second year?

01 Sep 2026 13:30:12
We have a better starting 11 but far from an excellent squad. If you think that you're bonkers.

01 Sep 2026 13:50:48
There's also the possibility Dcl and Nmecha both get injured.. at the same time. Then we will all hear some moaning. Unless another striker is actually bought in today.

01 Sep 2026 13:58:25
Indeed Corky. In fact, all of DCL, Nmecha, Okafor and DJ have injury histories.

Signing a striker (s) should have always been an absolute must this window.

The 49ers, under their watch as co-owners, oversaw the 2021/22 season when both our strikers, Bamford and Rodrigo, were out injured for long periods.

01 Sep 2026 14:00:33
We do not have a better squad. Starting 11 has been improved, but the squad is smaller. We are a key injury or 2 away from poo creek.
Yes, we've moved some dead wood out, but 21, possibly 22, senior players in a squad is not good.

01 Sep 2026 14:10:25
There's also the possibility of Nmecha, Dcl and the new striker, if there was one, all being injured at the same time!

01 Sep 2026 14:50:18
There's also the possibility that all of our starters get injured, a la Spuds last season. That's when we're up poo creek! All of our new signings could get injured! Everyone who has left could stay fit for the whole season! Alternatively, they also could get injured and sent back? Life is just one big "What if..?"

01 Sep 2026 15:13:29
It's if and maybes with a bit of logic and possibility that should be applied. It isn't being.

01 Sep 2026 15:17:34
Fair comments, lads. Why do we even bother trying to improve?

01 Sep 2026 15:18:13
Game of opinions, chaps, but I'm not bonkers, thank you. My mum had me tested.

01 Sep 2026 15:27:05
I'd get a second opinion, staff. Just to be sure, matey. Meds available now. No shame. 👍

01 Sep 2026 15:44:23
Need to get back on the Prozac Aus, cheer yourself up a bit

02 Sep 2026 07:56:58
Okay. so.
What if Dcl, Nmecha, Okafor, James get injured (pessimistic) .
What if they don't (optimistic) .
Either way, I see why so many on here and on the YouTube channels know we need a striker. Would it hurt to get one on loan, maybe or just for cover with option to buy? Either, and, or. In my opinion, we still need one, and I think it would really stop a lot of supporters thinking twice about commenting on it.

I won't say moaning, because after all we are all here for our opinions and not slate anybody.
Also, I will make a bold prediction here and say we won't get owt in January either. Over the last five seasons or so our Jan window has been P*** poor.

01 Sep 2026 12:38:34
Looks like Ramazani going to Burnley, pity Flemming won't be coming the other way.
With the Mudryk deal now dead, will Willy still be going to Fiorentina, we shall see, but I hope not.

01 Sep 2026 14:55:03
The club has already announced that Gnonto can leave only if there is a replacement found by this evening.

01 Sep 2026 15:21:18
Amateur hour from the club.

01 Sep 2026 15:44:48
They say a lot, OP, but that doesn't mean he won't go.
Bet he goes.

01 Sep 2026 18:36:04
Well, given for about all time, half the posters here have been screaming for him to be sold, it's hardly surprising we now have to put up with all the faux outrage from the same crowd.

At the start of the window, folks wanted Gnonto, Gelhardt, Piroe, Mes, Strujk, Wober and many more to be sold ("get rid" or "off load" was often the term used) , now the club does exactly that, the same folks move on to the next moan and/or criticism of the club.



Oh dear, it looks like we have signed a striker. whatever next?

.we need a new water carrier?
.goalposts not white enough.
.we don't mow the pitch the right way?

01 Sep 2026 12:29:15
Have a feeling after Bard comes in, that will be it for this window. Going to feel bad for Willy coming back after wearing the whole kit as well .

01 Sep 2026 14:21:47
Is there enough time to do the medical?

01 Sep 2026 12:29:07
Hwang Hee-chan being mooted. Would be a versatile option I'm not against if it's a loan with option. Can play striker behind the striker and out wide. That would enable Gnonto to move on.

01 Sep 2026 12:50:34
Hwang Hee-chan and Gnonto are totally different players. I don't see Hwang coming in (if) as a reason for Willy to go.

01 Sep 2026 11:42:43
Mudryk going to Spuds on a loan to buy for £75M!!!
Glad we dodged that bullet.

01 Sep 2026 12:21:37
Wow, Chelsea even making a profit on a player who hasn't played for years.

Deals in his sleep. Marathe needs to study the Chelsea sales department.

01 Sep 2026 13:07:57
Indeed, Santos, Cucuurella, Delap and Jackson all sold for £50M plus, Chalobah for £30M, and now £75M for Mudryk and mebbe £100M plus for Enzo Fernandez to Citeh or Arse. Makes our agonising over a £20M striker seem like childs play.

01 Sep 2026 11:39:50
Flemming undergoing medical at tractors

01 Sep 2026 12:23:16
Anyone thinking Ipswich and Hull are gonner be guaranteed R fodder.. Think again!

Relegation battle looks unpredictable and wide open.

01 Sep 2026 12:40:26
The board is taking a big risk, and so is Farkey. Maybe that's why contracts haven't been sorted. Just saying.

01 Sep 2026 13:18:07
Hull hope to get three more today, Ipswich signing Fleming and Everton lining some up with Balogun and Maitland Niles (for £4.5m) , very possible. Richarlison staying at Spurs.

01 Sep 2026 13:55:28
Seem to remember you saying similar last time, Baz.

01 Sep 2026 14:08:25
Last time, what exactly, Ani, and what seez?
