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.

Wow! Well you have to say that Sunderland haven't got much more to do to stay out of the dogfight! Still feel they will be dragged back from those lofty heights, but a lot said that of us under Marcelo in our first season up.
1.) 25 Oct 2025 18:08:12
Respect to them, they've started well, but you wonder what way Afr cup of nations will hit them .
But right here right now, their flying for sure Brighty pal.
2.) 26 Oct 2025 06:57:34
Yes you have to hand it to them, it looks like they are seizing their opportunities in games and I’m sure a good portion of luck is helping them also.
Afcon will leave their team a little sparse but if they can continue with this roll of form, especially the home games, then come January they might of already secured their safety in the Premiership?
Xhaka has been very influential for them.
I’m really looking forward to their visit to Elland Rd when we lock horns with them.
3.) 26 Oct 2025 17:06:45
Xhaka has been, dare I say, a Strachan-esque signing for them. Thought it was a duff move at the time, but totally wrong, again!
4.) 27 Oct 2025 06:57:16
You may remember Hull on 20 pts after nine games in the 2008/ 09 season, they finished 17th. Still, it is a impressive start all the same.
24 Oct 2025 20:11:13
Haters? Get innnnnn!
1.) 24 Oct 2025 20:33:47
What about the sitter. he. just. missed ?.
2.) 24 Oct 2025 20:41:21
Nuno looking p#ssed off?.
3.) 24 Oct 2025 21:00:04
Imagine being so sh! t that you allow 1-in-40 Aaronson to score.
Fair play to him though.
4.) 24 Oct 2025 21:06:19
He scored. 2 nil Chris.
5.) 24 Oct 2025 21:11:14
Nuno looking clueless JR! Pleased we didn't pay the £8m+ compo fee to get him before Farke!
6.) 24 Oct 2025 21:57:30
Obviously he's done an important thing
But he's been his usual self since and don't say different
He scored a Tammy Brighty let's not forget how. lomg. somve his last assist even?
7.) 24 Oct 2025 22:15:01
One may be forgiven in thinking you aren’t happy we’ve won Chris?
8.) 24 Oct 2025 22:17:28
Wouldn’t you believe it, Aaronson scores a vital goal, well I’ll be damned, good for him to prove so many including myself wrong.
Can he do it again?
9.) 24 Oct 2025 22:17:33
Hope you also watched him for the rest of the game Chris? You're really getting to the point where he's clearly your pet hate, and he will never do anything to get you to give him a break.
He wears the shirt for effs sake, and had a fairly good game today.
10.) 24 Oct 2025 23:33:12
Np Brighty, I ain't blinded
I am on side of, he's still she_ite, he scored a tap in tonight
mid gen don't worry my impression isn't blinded by nothing other than stats
It's so hypocritical, some on here lambasted Baz for these very same things
Claimimg silly little caveats were him trying to force his agenda
Brendan scores a tap in
Somehow that's vindication for his abysmal stats since he came back
Do me a favour
Delighted with won obviously
Let's see how vociferous ye are next 5 games
Does Brendan back it up?
11.) 24 Oct 2025 23:39:45
Yeah he had a great game. He deserves the flack when he plays rubbish but he did great today. In the right places and chasing down the ball.
Here's to hoping it continues.
12.) 25 Oct 2025 00:29:15
It was his best game but Chris is right, he missed a very good chance.
Replay showed me he bottled it and pullednout as he's a very soft player. If he'd not bottled it, there was a very good chance we'd have got a penalty if he didn't score.
13.) 25 Oct 2025 07:25:24
Think you are wrong about Baz, for him it was only about agendas, but to be fair to him, he’s not the only one on this forum.
A number of posters complaining about the performance, especially in the second half, newsflash, it’s very rare that a team can dominate a whole match.
No matter how crap some might think West Ham are at the moment they’ve still got a number of individual players who are of a higher quality than we have in our team, who can cause damage.
There are no easy given games in this league, there weren’t in the Championship either, it would be ignorant to think there are.
Some might not be happy about that game, for me i'm happy to be proved wrong by Aaronson, pleased with the selection and performance by the players, it was a good reaction to the Burnley game to win all those three massive points.
Anyone who wants to call me a happy clapper can go a do one.
Onwards and Upwards.
14.) 25 Oct 2025 10:58:03
I ain't even going to get dragged into a BS debate on that prick, Chris. He got what was deserved eventually, and it woulda been more had he ever been face to face.
As for BA.
I've said my bit. If you don't have the nouse or cajones to hold your hands up and give credit where due, that's for you to reflect on / ignore. Again, not for me to be bothered about.
15.) 25 Oct 2025 11:35:14
Brighty i. draw the Baz comparison based on how divisive he was, and when he made a point that so many said
Oh here you go again, .
You said this
You said that
You keep on reminding people of that
Then when it's to others point people on here do the exact same thing, to justify their point / counter point
For me it's simple Brendan is a woeful footballer and his stats whilst playing here prove it, he scored a tap in last night
Big deal, let's see what he follows it up with
I also said Lewin was going to be a flop which now people seem to accept as right
Imo others are blinded by non acceptance of stats
we shall agree to disagree
And maybe come back to this at end. of Seez
Much needed 3 points last night
Albeit hanging on in end, but a wins a win
End of.
16.) 25 Oct 2025 12:16:59
Really don't know why Baz has anything to do with anything in here anymore.
Listen, there are many things I agree with you on, and clearly some that I / we don't. I've said it before that BA is not my first choice to start, but when no alternative is fit and available, and he plays, it's pointless slating him.
He had a good game last night, which proves he ain't as shite as you reckon, not all the time, at least!
He is a useful and capable squad player imo.
24 Oct 2025 11:39:09
Wendies going into Administration.
Although rivals, that's sad news in my book. Chansiri should be prosecuted, as should have Ridsdale, and struck off the directors register, also as should've been true for Pantsdown Pete!
1.) 24 Oct 2025 12:39:21
An awful situation for the fans and staff. Some of these owners leave a lot to be desired, as we know only too well.
2.) 24 Oct 2025 14:41:06
Very true Bright, for me Pistol packin’ Pete was the most destructive owner we’ve ever had, I would even rank him lower than Papa Smurf and GFH.
That brief courtship with the Champions League that we had, yes we all loved at that time, but the consequences of gambling away our club’s future was definitely not worth it. Seventeen years in the lower leagues with huge points deductions and the sale of all our future assets was unforgivable in my opinion.
You could find perhaps a small part of you to forgive the man if only we had won a few trophies, but we won diddly squat!
How he was then allowed to continue in football ownership is unfathomable.
The same goes for Chansiri, these individuals must be made accountable for their deliberate destructive ownership of football clubs that fans spend their hard earned money to go and watch.
It only surmounts to me as reckless ownership, I’m sure they don’t run their own thriving businesses the same way, perhaps they view it more of a toy to play with rather than something that has a huge amount of emotional and vested interest to many thousands of fans who support that club. Something which is more than perhaps just a part of their lives.
23 Oct 2025 16:56:22
Some excellent analysis and comment on the SSN site. Worth a read, in case you haven't already!
20 Oct 2025 17:50:58
Will be watching the new Rangers gaffer very closely. Another huge job to pick them up. I like the guy, and his playing style / tactics. definitely a future option if he continues in the same vein up there.
1.) 21 Oct 2025 06:37:46
You think the squad good enough for second bright?
2.) 21 Oct 2025 08:41:45
I think it’s not a good move for him Bright, there’s too much at stake at Rangers and the fans will unlikely give him the time he would need to sort out their mess.
He is a good and upcoming young coach who is still gaining experience. He’s probably looking at how Gerrard made it there but I have a feeling it’s not going to go the same way for him.
So many others turning down the appointment tells you a lot about the predicament that lies ahead.
He will literally have to hit the ground running he can not afford to lose any games and that is a huge ask.
I think if he waited a while he would’ve got a decent appointment in the Championship eventually and could progress from there.
3.) 21 Oct 2025 10:03:02
Seems same with all those reportedly turned us down pre season. Mmmm ?.
4.) 21 Oct 2025 12:32:22
At the moment Aus, I can see Celtic getting 2nd!
I believe the guy is tactically astute enough to get a much better tune out of them, but that any difference won't be seen until the New year when he's got their fitness levels up to the standard required to follow his gameplan.
I tend to agree OP, that it could be an awful move for his rep, hence my interest in Seeing his development and achievements up there. I have a sneaky suspicion that he can and will turn their season around, but it will be next season a real difference is season.
Whatever happens, the stock response will be "it's only SPL! " ??.
5.) 21 Oct 2025 19:44:54
In Scotland, Celtic are almost always going to finish top, so finishing 2nd only requires a competent Championship level squad, and Rangers are that so no reason they can't finish 2nd.
6.) 22 Oct 2025 06:15:54
I take it you're not up to date with the SPL, JR?
21 Oct 2025 17:23:37
Fair enough Mo. All opinion that, and I can't fault the logic of it. Think Bogle will pocket "drop the shoulder, cut in" Cree tho!
21 Oct 2025 12:01:40
So you don't reckon there will be an extra determination from Spam players then?
A shambolic defeat AND playing Leeds? Not one single game in this division is easy. Less difficult, maybe.
Assuming you get your wish Mo, who do we bring in?
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!
07 Nov 2025 17:37:57
Hard to sack yourself with 1 month left on a contract that was never going to be renewed!?
Also not one to read much into a coach's face, especially when the one you're referring to is renowned for looking deadpan always, and even criticised for it among fan groups!?
But, hey ho, if interpretation of facial expressions and fan heresay are now facts, who am I to argue?
07 Nov 2025 12:09:53
Great post again, Cheshire, imo. Only caveat being whether "extinguished" is the case!
Also a great bit of info MG that I'd not read, but sounds about right based on what we've already been told.
I bloody hope you're right as well, Mo, and i also have a sneaky that we will put in a performance and bag the win! Roll on Sunday!
07 Nov 2025 12:05:13
Must have a great source there Mo to be able to claim he simply and personally does not like the lad? I'm more inclined to agree with OP on this one, as its already been publicly stated that the club see his future at Leeds, and getting more game time elsewhere is of more benefit to club and player at this point.
Clearly tho, as Aus rightly points out, if he ain't getting it, there's no benefit to anyone, so get him back ASAP! If a further loan is then seen to be right, so be it, but CC not using him in a difficult season says we should recall him.
06 Nov 2025 12:10:18
That's exactly my point, too, Ed. It's a real quandary; stick with the devil you know, or chance your hand with someone who is pretty much like for like (exception being tactics etc) and comes with no guarantees to improve things. There's no one out there who would entertain the job, who makes you think results and performances would likely improve?
05 Nov 2025 07:29:20
It's not unheard of, and we've done it before, Mo.
