Bilal El K. He's my tip to sign before the window closes.
Plus Bakwa or Manor. Two of those 3 would change my own perspective on this window.
1.) 30 Aug 2025 12:01:28
I think we will splash the cash for BEK. I have a feeling it will either be Solomon or Hamer….
2.) 30 Aug 2025 13:14:35
I’d be very happy with either BEK or bakwa and 1 of the other 2.
3.) 30 Aug 2025 15:10:44
A No 10 - great, another winger - OK, but what we really really need is someone who can put the ball in the onion bag consistently, and has no dodgy injury history. Any sign of that? No, thought not!
4.) 30 Aug 2025 19:44:16
Uche reportedly still in the mix too.
5.) 31 Aug 2025 09:18:15
I know absolutely nothing about Backwa, anyone enlighten me a little?
6.) 31 Aug 2025 14:40:36
BEL on route to stutgart.
18 Aug 2025 11:14:24
El K might NOT be off t Palace as suggested previously, as they've approached Club Brugges over direct replacement for Eze.
1.) 19 Aug 2025 00:16:27
I was saying this on way to game but to be fair he had a very good game tonight mot will see in 2 weeks where we at.
22 Jul 2025 11:46:42
Johnny Howson returns to the club as "player coach" of the U21s. Nice move.
1.) 22 Jul 2025 12:43:41
Oh wow! Great move, top lad shared a drink with him in the players lounge after he scored a late equaliser away at Brighton.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 14:19:17
That’s good news.
22 Jul 2025 07:02:28
Fulham now open to discussions on Muniz, as they have their own replacement lined up, which was a prerequisite for them coming to the table.
1.) 22 Jul 2025 09:03:33
£50 million though? Is he really worth that?
Aren't there better options on the continent?
2.) 22 Jul 2025 10:34:35
Wouldn’t pay more than 30-35.
3.) 22 Jul 2025 10:49:19
He’s not worth half that I’d be happy with him for 24 plus add ons.
4.) 22 Jul 2025 12:10:04
we wouldn't pay the 50 - closer to 30 with add ons I imagine.
5.) 22 Jul 2025 12:18:40
It'll end up being around £35m.
6.) 22 Jul 2025 13:50:43
Concur that the Club shouldn’t consider going anywhere near £50m - I’d rather we brought in the player they’re reportedly considering to replace him than do that. If we were to pay more than £30m plus add-ons we’d actually be strengthening a rival - allowing them to get a player just as good if not better and still have significant cash to strengthen their squad with one or two other decent players.
7.) 22 Jul 2025 14:29:51
50m was only ever paper talk while Fulham stalled.
8.) 23 Jul 2025 14:25:34
And I also concur about not paying 50 million for him but if you think we could get paxiao, what a player for 30 which I think Leeds should get done now before someone else comes in and be still left with 20 million to go towards a striker before we start to sell players it’s a no brainer to me, we ve done enormously well with the deals we ve got done for 60 million. And changed the look and shape of team with what we have but if we can just get them little bit more quality winger, centre forward, goalie, and perhaps another cheap or loan bit of quality we ll be staying up with out doubt.
16 Jul 2025 18:05:34
Christanus Uche from getafe, with a 21m release clause. Reportedly not training with their first team due to our interest. 6ft3 attacking mf.

Love him or loathe him, Steven Gerrard has made some pretty telling comments about the "golden generation" of England footballers, labelling them all, and including himself, as "egotistical losers"!
Think he has hit the nail on the head with his insights, which is worth the quick 2min read on SSN. That team underachiever more than any in history, as there was enough talent there to win back to back trophies.
Some of the finger pointing should also be directed at the management of those eras, for failing to create a true "team" that bonded properly, that was probably the missing piece in enabling that talented group deliver the goods!
1.) 08 Oct 2025 09:44:34
Agree mate,
That generation was ruined by club rivalry over country, egos and poor managers. Imagine what el tel or Bobby robson would of got out of these players.
I don’t rate southgate at all, awful manager who threw away a few golden chances of glory with a great squad. However what he did perfectly was create a club England and fair play to him for shifting that culture.
2.) 08 Oct 2025 09:45:50
I’m really confused Bright?
That lovely chap Gary Neville is highlighting the importance of being United, as one team.
And yet has boasted many times previously (now confirmed by Steven Gerrard) that even when they were playing for their country.
That Devon and Liverpool players would not even speak to each other and did not even try to hide their loathing of each other?
Not like Gary Neville to have made an error of judgement.
Qatar for now…….
3.) 08 Oct 2025 09:57:52
Yes bright I've heard a few different voices from that time saying the same thing. The players from different teams just didn't mix. Whether because of the big rivalry at the time with fergie and wenger etc.
I think there has been a lot of that in international football. Some great Dutch sides that never gelled and should have won more.
I think the drinking culture before brought Robsons and venables together. But the generation after that were moving in to the superfit sportsman mould.
They just didn't like or had been told not to or conditioned not to like each other.
Now football has completely gone the other way and player power means all the top players mix socially and have connections with each other outside of football.
Whether that is social media or gaming or all enjoying the lifestyle of the very wealthy.
4.) 08 Oct 2025 20:51:53
I always hated the expression 'the golden generation' which was totally inappropriately as they never won anything - they didn't get further than the quarter finals.
Totally overrated, totally underwhelming and I for one applaud Gerrard for calling them out for what they were!
5.) 09 Oct 2025 07:04:12
It does confirm that you can not create a great football team without team spirit. Top individual players they may have all been but without a bonding they will win nothing.
Whose fault was that? In my opinion I was everyone’s from the FA to the players themselves.
I guess that at some point after that hugely disappointing period there probably was a collective thought that the players needed bonding and I’m sure that was the main directive of Southgate’s tenure.
Although it appeared he achieved the target in bonding the players, it’s just a pity that he wasn’t a good footballing tactician as well as it looks like that was the missing ingredient to have won two trophies already.
6.) 09 Oct 2025 07:52:15
Agree on all points op.
7.) 09 Oct 2025 17:26:31
I prefer David James's response to Gerrards claim, that being, there were better teams than us playing at the same time. What's more, that is allowed.
From my own perspective, we have not had any real word class players [in abundance] for a while. Italy 90 was for me was the only team capable of winning the World Cup and the best since 1970, which arguably was a better team than 1966 [that match V Germany was the first time I saw my dad cry! ].
I'm not sure the current team / players have any better chance.
I appreciate Southgate [ I appreciate what he did] got us further than for a while, but our tournaments were scratchy and things went our way, when in the past they perhaps didn't.
8.) 09 Oct 2025 23:14:30
Individually they were all great players, but collectively a crap team.
I concur that Southgate was only a mediocre coach, but at least he was a good man manager, and created a team ethos that had been sadly lacking, and which hopfully continues today.
28 Sep 2025 15:04:38
Crazy first half stat for Villa! They have failed to make a single tackle? Eh? What? How dat happen?
1.) 28 Sep 2025 15:51:31
Loads of dives though!
2.) 28 Sep 2025 15:54:35
They were horrendous bright and yet somehow are now leading 3-1 aside from Arsenal defeat most teams don’t seem amazing, very good chance of staying up this season.
3.) 29 Sep 2025 05:38:05
Careful class opti be on your back suggesting this is a weak prem this year.
4.) 29 Sep 2025 10:24:13
Very droll Aus, what I will say on that subject is that although some teams like Wolves and West Ham might look like potential relegation candidates and they won’t be far off it I’m sure but I don’t see them free falling out this league like previous relegated teams.
As the season wears on you will see that with the physicality of this league along with injuries etc, the teams that look like they are underperforming right now will pick up and us Burnley and Sunderland will be scraping to survive.
Ourselves and Sunderland are making a great start to the season but neither of us will be finishing top half or anywhere near it.
All that to say, i wouldn't get fooled by what you see so far.
That is my humble opinion.
5.) 29 Sep 2025 11:19:45
Respect that op and can see what you are saying and logic behind it. Hope you’re wrong though.
6.) 29 Sep 2025 12:39:03
Me too Berm, but if we do finish higher up in the league then I feel we will have overachieved and that's always a difficult position when everyone concerned will expect the same or better the next season.
For example if Forest flop in their European adventure and finish below mid table then Ange’s task next season will be very difficult, if he still holds onto his job?
For me Forest dramatically overachieved last season with Nuno and I can’t help feel that their card is marked for this one.
It’s wonderful for the fans to see your team elevate to great heights prematurely but you’ve got to maintain that and that’s a very difficult task in the Prem.
Of course you can’t regulate your successes but I’m sure most coaches at the lower end of the league no matter how mad it would seem, would feel more nervous for their following season.
Who knows, maybe Nuno orchestrated is own departure with his hindsight.
7.) 29 Sep 2025 15:04:18
Yeah op I always say this and for me it’s the worst thing about football
Look at mangers like Nuno, Wilde, ispwich fella and I think farke will fall into this.
They over achieve, give a false sense of gradure by doing better than they should and as a result they get sacked
Forest sacking Nuno was haloruous and ange going to tank the team, same with Wilde getting wrongly sacked to then replace the manger they sacked him for.
Many were calling for farkes head, lucky the board ignored and stayed strong. I hope they continue with that resolve
Most will know i often call for leeds managers heads. I wanted bilsea gine after derby play off defeat, I started the chant of sacked in the morning at millwall during hockaday first game. But I do believe in farke like o have t really believed in a leeds manager since Wilko, although monk comes very close in that list
If monk had bamford, white and Harrison he’d of taken us up.
8.) 29 Sep 2025 19:07:16
Interesting point Bermo, but I don't think we can put DF with them, don't believe he has over achieved at all. Said from day one when the 49ers took over and he was appointed it was going to be good, much to Baz's chagrin. The guy is class, let's face it, 3 seasons in a row he has had to rebuild a side and produce and he has. That's not over achieving, its a measure of the man despite all of the speculation around him, I mean, how hard must that of been to read those headlined yet through it all he has remained steadfast.
9.) 29 Sep 2025 23:24:11
Berm, do you realise how silly you sound suggesting you called for Bieslas head after the derby game. The next season he took us up as champions and somehow you think you’re being clever about calling for his head? It makes no sense at all.
10.) 30 Sep 2025 00:43:31
LoveAway days
When we lost to derby I said.
Belisa is a world class coach, he has clearly improved our players and has some great ideas that bring very entertaining football capable of getting good results
However I fear he is too imbalanced and his lack of adaptability and putting square pegs in round holes will costs us.
While it may bring some success I fear Belisa shortcomings will outweigh his strengths and ultimately lead to failure
Now tell me where the above statement was not exactly spot on three years before everyone caught up and he was sacked for making us a joke team?
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but with Belisa (and Phillips) I believe I showed foresight
Now let’s hope third time in a row as I predicted great things for farke five years ago and so far so good.

That was supposed to be for before the game, and some light humour from Stach's Insta. New ones every game. Humorous pre match, less so after the heartbreaking, undeserved ending.
27 Sep 2025 10:45:04
Class by Liverpool, paying out Jota's contract in full to his family.
In this day and age, there would always be doubts about the likelihood of this happening with more unscrupulous owners.
1.) 27 Sep 2025 11:38:48
I like Liverpool class team great fans and history and class act off the pitch.
2.) 27 Sep 2025 13:23:07
Yep. Agree above. Prob apart from ours. Best fans.
23 Sep 2025 21:40:59
Looks like Bambam is joining Getafe! Hope he smashes it up over there!
1.) 23 Sep 2025 22:12:36
Fair play you him wish him all the best.
2.) 23 Sep 2025 22:13:13
Hope he stays fit and enjoys his time there.
3.) 24 Sep 2025 00:03:55
Ditto. Good luck to him and hope he enjoys his twilight.
4.) 24 Sep 2025 14:46:57
Good servant, wonderful human, hope he knocks them in for fun, surprised Corberan didn’t go after him, but even if he doesn’t play be lovely and warm!
5.) 24 Sep 2025 15:56:01
Great lad. Wish pat all the best in his future career.
6.) 25 Sep 2025 21:35:11
All the best to him and that the move is a success.
09 Oct 2025 17:26:25
It's in the media, but it's yet more fake news. They paid us, but may not as yet have paid back the corrupt people who gave them the money to buy him in the first place!
03 Oct 2025 07:47:19
At the least, it will prop his value up, but I do hope we do everything to keep hold of him. Archie has a great future, but Harry's could be fantastic!
30 Sep 2025 09:40:31
That a blow, as was looking forward to having him back at full fitness!
12 Sep 2025 08:01:54
Currently giving my head a wobble. We won't beat Fulham; I retract my previous statement!
04 Sep 2025 17:45:46
Gone to Qatar or somat like that has Mitro.
13 Oct 2025 16:47:23
Unlike Gerrard, I like Rohl, tho he still has a lot to prove, and Rangers might not give him the platform to do that.
13 Oct 2025 13:12:57
Great initial post Ben. I haven't lived in England now for nigh on 15 years, but I coached a lot over there, and scouted many other matches, so was able to see lots of the bigger set ups. The pitches at Roundhay were always a sight and a half, with so many games going on at once! Does anyone know if it's still like that at weekends there?
13 Oct 2025 13:04:26
Great work Aus! Well done fella!
12 Oct 2025 16:51:01
Sorry to add on after posting.
Gerrard has walked away from Rangers discussions; anyone else think it may be due to not getting guarantees on the Leeds job on a set timescale?
12 Oct 2025 16:48:55
Gerrard is unemployed, but NOT top flight calibre.
