Nigerian LB, who we looked at on a trial basis last summer supposedly being lined up for a pre contract agreement. 16yrs old, but looks 28. Some legal gubbins means he can't join until he's 18, even for the academy!?
1.) 02 Sep 2024 17:24:07
Er. Name? Leonard Ngenge.
Was sure I’d written that!? ?????.
2.) 02 Sep 2024 19:17:49
Getting Joseph Minala vibes ?.
30 Aug 2024 12:26:10
Best click bait of the day!
Baturina, AMF, 21, from Dynamo Zagreb. £25m fee agreed, but he doesn't want to leave! ???.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 13:32:34
?? no chance. He's quality. Can be a bit lightweight at times but he's a really technical baller. Was labelled the new Modric a couple years back, but a big move's still not come off for him yet. Arsenal have shown interest in the past iirc.
2.) 30 Aug 2024 13:57:45
One problem to that rumour the 49ers won’t pay half that for the player.
3.) 30 Aug 2024 14:02:10
Iirc? F.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 14:48:36
“If I recall correctly” Aus.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 14:48:40
If I remember correctly ?.
6.) 30 Aug 2024 15:27:08
If we have £25m to spend why not offer the £18m for Hamer?
7.) 30 Aug 2024 21:58:10
What Alf said.
8.) 31 Aug 2024 00:21:55
F was for funny.
28 Aug 2024 17:51:06
Phillip Billing unwilling to drop to the Champo, which rules out our competitors as well as us thankfully!
27 Aug 2024 18:17:36
Ao Tanaka from fortuna Düsseldorf supposedly next one inbound! Just under £3m release clause. Flight leaving soon!
Still after Hamer, tho Blunts have upped the asking price to £18m.
1.) 27 Aug 2024 20:58:41
A. O Let's Go! Quality signing at that price. Guess we're finally getting a proper number 8 ?.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 21:21:03
Pay the £18M. Guarantees the title.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 21:36:19
Tanaka is a class act.
4.) 27 Aug 2024 22:18:11
Think he'd be a game-changer too, George, but don't think we'll pay it ? would be the most expensive signing ever by a Champo side.
5.) 28 Aug 2024 08:17:15
I honestly would push the boat out on Hamer, but doubt we will, esp if we land Tanaka. Tanaka is very well respected and rated highly; I’m surprised no one else has snapped him up since we tried last season.
6.) 28 Aug 2024 10:10:08
Reckon we could get Hamer for less than £18m. Similar situation to Bogie, player wants to go so all Wilder can do is get best price. so meet in the middle, £15.5m should do it?
7.) 28 Aug 2024 11:15:56
Would like to hope that could happen spendido….!
8.) 28 Aug 2024 22:47:27
Tanaka looked great in the World Cup but I’m a bit worried why no top flight club in Germany has come in for him?
26 Aug 2024 19:15:03
If it's to believed, which I'm 50:50 on, we have bid £13m for Gus Hamer at the blunts.
1.) 26 Aug 2024 20:03:44
Feels like we are being gaslit.
2.) 26 Aug 2024 22:26:44
Opposite. Feels like we're committing some ??ry. I love it.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 08:46:38
Adam Pope has shut this one down and said we aren't re bidding.
4.) 27 Aug 2024 10:48:01
Of course ER.
5.) 27 Aug 2024 11:41:21
So cynical. I try to hope that we are not being run in the same way as the last regime. Think it will come off this one now.

Couldn't see the game as was helping a mate fix his roof! Looks like we did our usual of dominating without scoring, again? Rational perspectives and analysis appreciated, until I get to watch the full match replayed! Cheers!
1.) 14 Sep 2024 16:52:19
Did you use your own "wazz" for a sealant?
2.) 14 Sep 2024 17:47:20
Naff off ya cretin.
10 Sep 2024 11:04:38
Surprised no one has mentioned Junior Firpo's international outing as a CF the other night!? Maybe we already have our Stuart Dallas type utility player!? ??.
1.) 10 Sep 2024 12:39:41
Surprising pick by his manager certainly. Unfortunately, however, Junior didn’t get a real opportunity to show what he could do in that position as Dominican Republic’s left winger was shown a straight red after 10 minutes, for a last man professional foul. Consequently Junior was shifted to LW with the RW moving central and RM moving to RW - weirdly the latter player Raphael Nunez has squad number 9, but hasn’t played at CF for any of his 7 caps, or indeed in club football. For his 5 Dom Rep caps Junior has played LM (3) , AM (1) and CF/ LW (1) .
Obviously partly a reflection of the level of the team (FIFA rank 150) and the rest of the squad, and level of their opponents. In those games they’ve beaten Aruba (194) , British Virgin Islands (207) and Bermuda (171) , lost narrowly to Jamaica (59) and fairly heavily to Peru (42) . Their next opponents are Dominica (181) .
2.) 10 Sep 2024 14:44:59
I’d play firpo over wober and byram every day of the week. Also think his obvious distribution in attacking quarter should be appreciated. Lacking possibly a few assists and goals from last year you’d think that an occasional formation change could be warranted.
Either way.
Manor and firpo way too good for this league and should reac havoc. Buckle up.
3.) 10 Sep 2024 17:10:20
Interesting info Cluey! And I agree Aus. He is a great crosser of the ball.
4.) 10 Sep 2024 17:17:12
No way Firpo is way too good for the Champo. this league is hs level .
He was way out of his depth in EPL.
5.) 10 Sep 2024 18:42:32
Apparently played LM today against Dominica - picking up an assist for their second goal, in a 2:0 win. Not exactly a surprising scoreline given Domica’s even lower FIFA ranking, as per earlier post.
6.) 10 Sep 2024 19:33:59
He has improved, players do, could be an asset in the Premiership as Leif Davies heads back to the Championship with Ipswich.
7.) 10 Sep 2024 19:50:16
OP
Firpo needs to be kept as far away from a LB position as possible .
up field
LW .
bench cheerleader
. striker even.
. but not LB.
he simply can NOT defend against good players even decent players
Firpo and Mes blunders against Palace started the never ending R slippery slide into the Champo abyss.
8.) 10 Sep 2024 20:38:22
I watched about 5 mins of that game and looked like he was at LB by time I put it on.
9.) 10 Sep 2024 20:39:16
Don't think he's done bad at all defensively last season and so far this one, Baz.
10.) 10 Sep 2024 22:06:37
Apparently Firpo had the most assists in the championship this calendar year?
I’m still not convinced he can be a proper player in the EPL but to be fair to him he was injured so often when we were up there and maybe just maybe he might be more successful after promotion this season?
Then again isn’t he our of contract soon?
11.) 11 Sep 2024 00:53:11
Firpo is a championship player. End of! He is not a good enough defender for anything above.
Trent struggles at Liverpool to defend at epl level.
I said it before firpo is OK when he has a mobile decent cb who can cover him.
He got toasted last year against Leicester.
12.) 11 Sep 2024 02:53:53
Pretty much what Ben said .
13.) 11 Sep 2024 05:59:27
Well that’s his job to defend and to get up the pitch as fast as possible and assist, not easy to do both jobs at the same time. Pascal does that job of covering him, he even did that job pretty well in my opinion when Struijk was injured for a large part of last season.
A lot of fans seem to find it hard to accept that some players do improve from a previous unproductive period and Firpo has achieved that under Farke’s coaching regime.
Good luck to Firpo and I seriously hope we extend his contract if he continues on this trajectory and certainly if we are promoted.
In my opinion he is definitely an asset to the team.
14.) 11 Sep 2024 08:18:49
Deffo improved under Farke. With the caveat that we are also playing at a lower level and he's been injury free for while. Hope it continues!
15.) 11 Sep 2024 09:49:03
Dill,
Firpo into final year of contract. hurrah
I am very hopeful Firpo replacement Isaac Schmidt is far, far better defensively than JF
As even at Champo level Firpo is a defensive liability imo
- often wayy too slow tracking back miles out of position
- very clumsy in tackling gives away lots of free kicks in dangerous areas
- doesn't man mark well. too often ball watching etc etc.
16.) 11 Sep 2024 09:10:58
So OP very unwisely wants in a LUFC back 5 in the EPL
Mes, Firpo, Struick ( who conceded over 160 goals in a LUFC back 5 previous 2 EPL seasaons ) .
Good grief ?.
17.) 11 Sep 2024 13:34:20
Firpo is indeed in his final year and very unlikely to be sticking around after this season.
18.) 11 Sep 2024 14:51:57
Be. Firpo got toasted against lecister? Didn’t we beat them twice and certainly got one clean sheet
Firpo got team of the year like mes, he has been consistent and one of our best players by bi/ polar baz has bee in bonnet for a change.
19.) 11 Sep 2024 15:53:50
Berma . Firpo got well toasted
And any chance you can state facts not wee Berma made up stuff
As Firpo was NOT in any team of the year ( Official EFL . PFA etc ) last season. ?
Quelle surprise LB Leif Davis was in every team of year
Meslier wasnt in them either except the PFA one ?.
20.) 11 Sep 2024 17:33:09
He was motm just a week or so ago!
21.) 11 Sep 2024 20:02:51
Bermo. Leeds at home were battered by Leicester last year. Especially first half. Firpo was given a roasting by their pacy winger and rb.
I have stuck up for firpo in the past when he was in and out of the squad.
Byram coming back made his road back to full fitness possible.
He is an experienced talented player and maybe a few years ago with the benefits of no injuries he may of stepped up to epl. But not now he is just not quick enough.
Alioski was not a good lb but his pace and tenacity made him compete in the Premiership.
If firpo stays fit and plays as he is he will get a good move when we go up.
22.) 11 Sep 2024 21:05:38
Ben there’s no real profit in selling Firpo as there is a 25% profit sell on clause to Barcelona.
I’d say he’s got another two decent seasons ahead of him and that I believe could be in the Premiership. if we make it.
Another two year contract could be in the offing.?
23.) 12 Sep 2024 20:06:32
Op firpo will go on a free.
He will get a lucrative deal to see out his career probably Europe.
Not the epl. Unless you can get him some different legs!
24.) 13 Sep 2024 13:55:58
Ben
When it comes to Firpo and indeed Meslier. our dear OP has a naive blind spot. he hasn't got a scooby doo.
02 Sep 2024 17:32:33
In other news;
Man Utd fans are holding off calling for Ten Hag's head just now, as they are cautiously waiting until Gareth Southgate has a new job.
1.) 02 Sep 2024 20:02:33
Think we'll see ETH speeding on the M62 before long.
2.) 02 Sep 2024 20:13:17
Bright ????.
3.) 02 Sep 2024 21:40:43
Ten Hag's next role will be leading Leeds to promotion victory.
Wouldn't that be a twist?
4.) 03 Sep 2024 08:24:09
MoT! ???.
31 Aug 2024 17:00:08
Carrying on from the Live Chat, Everton blew that match completely! Dyche is going to commit crimes in that dressing room! Biscuit legs got the winner too?
1.) 31 Aug 2024 17:49:22
Love it! Could not be happier.
2.) 31 Aug 2024 17:58:24
Headlocks for everyone including the fans and on the beach ?️ Harrison?
3.) 31 Aug 2024 18:28:16
Very enjoyable 2nd half very good win in the end by Super Leeds United
and a really enjoyable good live chat and laughs with Georgey, Brighty, MOTagain and 2sheds
Cheers fellas!
4.) 31 Aug 2024 18:33:27
Two ex-Leeds players sticking it to Everton is kinda funny tbf.

Without posters like him, this site wouldn't be what it is
Viva Le Bazinald ?.

10.) 01 Sep 2024 06:53:28
Haha excellent casting selections Brighty
Josh Warrington too.
31 Aug 2024 15:14:45
I did think a few days ago that Manor would be starting today! Sounds a different class, and will prove to be a great signing.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 15:49:11
Looks the most dangerous so far. He stays fit and he'll do great this season.
2.) 31 Aug 2024 17:04:17
?? his assist cross for MJ ??.
3.) 31 Aug 2024 18:30:16
Yep class assist by MS for MJ goal!
Nice.
4.) 31 Aug 2024 18:39:25
Typical CF finish too. Nicking the ball in front of the defender in the 6 yard box. Things you love to see.
First one in for MJ, many more to come, me thinks.
Beauty second goal. 3 or 4 touches from the edge of our box to the back of the net. Elite transitional play.
And perfect utilisation of Piroe this game. Bring him on later and with a lead when the game is more open. He can find space and he can score. Will be very happy if he can keep doing things like that off the bench to help us seal points.
5.) 31 Aug 2024 20:41:35
If Piroe can keep his confidence, there’s no reason he can’t deliver a healthy double digit goal tally from the bench; very useful to have in reserve! Plus the strength in depth we subbed on was awesome!
6.) 31 Aug 2024 20:47:04
Enjoyed the match and somewhat witnessed a first! I was sat amongst a generally “angry” group, the type who think the ref can actually hear them from a 100 yards over the other 36000 in the stadium but neverthess, despite never changing his mind, felt it was necessary to keep shouting every moment.
What was amusing and a first, was when our first subs were imminent, they began directing there angst toward DF, screaming “don’t you £****in” dare take Aaronson off” His redemption is starting. He played well to be fair and put a shift in today.
7.) 31 Aug 2024 22:09:26
Excellent points Dill n Brighty regarding Piroe.
He’ll definitely get some starts to and can see him getting in to double digits in goals once more. Glad we kept him, he’s a very good finisher.
8.) 31 Aug 2024 23:26:17
I'm happy MJ scored, he was haunting that box like a fart In a sauna.
Watch the highlights or rewatch the match, whenever a player shot on goal, MJ was there to scoop it up like a child out of a pushchair. Hee here shamone.
9.) 01 Sep 2024 06:08:11
Lol MoT. Great analogies, great post!
14 Sep 2024 22:23:49
The only repetition is your use of the word hyperbole, of which there is none, showing your lack of understanding of a word you must’ve stumbled across in a word search in the daily mirror, and looked up, but subsequently forgot the meaning of.
14 Sep 2024 20:39:42
Yet he was man of the match a couple of weeks ago.
14 Sep 2024 17:44:10
The emoji agreement king is back…….
14 Sep 2024 15:34:35
Well, I think you’re the only one who can’t see a clear improvement then Bazil. Maybe you wazzed in yer own eyes?
14 Sep 2024 09:23:06
I’d re-sign him too. He’s quite a strong character to have ridden the abuse, and come back stronger. His defending has improved a lot, and he is a threat going forward, with good link up play with those playing in front of him. Pops up with the odd goal too. If he then gets an opportunity to go elsewhere, get a fee, which is also in his own interests, and his agents!
17 Sep 2024 08:42:02
I bloody well hope not.
17 Sep 2024 08:39:49
So Farke’s starting 11, that you pick to pieces frequently, with large holes in it that you zoom in on incessantly, is better in your opinion, than Marcelo’s?
17 Sep 2024 08:32:55
My first pair of shin pads were Gary Shaw endorsed. Cracking player. Sad news indeed.
16 Sep 2024 17:18:55
Hmmm. All of those clamouring at the time for Bielsa’s head were heavily critical of his “in game management”. No plan B was the shout. Backtracking now to say his “in game management” was just fine. Face palms a gogo….
16 Sep 2024 17:16:16
You can’t polish a turd, but Baz can hold plate one and call it a prediction.
