Signed Bamba Dieng striker.
1.) 01 Sep 2022 13:04:57
Bit premature?
Fee agreed with Marseille maybe but signed?
2.) 01 Sep 2022 14:34:53
agreed to sign allegedly so not yet a done deal
seems like a good talent though and 22 yrs old.
3.) 01 Sep 2022 16:58:53
Now rumoured that Nice are trying to hijack the move.
4.) 01 Sep 2022 17:48:03
Already inbound to LBA, if not already at ER to complete his medical.
5.) 01 Sep 2022 18:08:43
Seems he’s not going anywhere either - anyone else thinking we waited far, far too long, knowing we needed a striker after last season and a left back?
21 Feb 2020 08:59:45
So when are the EFL going to let us know about Kiko? probably to cause maximum disruption 30 mins before kick off.
1.) 21 Feb 2020 12:27:17
The FA have long since been not been. fit for purpose . and their guilty on the balance of probability process considerably lessens the intrgity and competency of the FA.

Just heard on the radio that we are in the bad books again over mccormack transfer now mc has to go still adrian, s transfet ongoing court case for embezzelment tomorrow when will it end.
1.) 17 May 2016 18:17:47
Just the football league trying different tactics because the last one failed. There desperate and bitter.
13 Jan 2015 11:59:05
Albanian international striker Edgar cani now liked with us
1.) 13 Jan 2015 17:33:27
But Cani score goals?
2.) 13 Jan 2015 17:53:53
no! looking at his past career record / Youtube videos.
Makes Habib Habibou look like Alan Shearer in his pomp!
3.) 13 Jan 2015 21:37:44
Habibou is actually well liked and quite highly rated abroad. He's got a fairly good record. Cani is not well rated and not well liked because he sucks.
4.) 14 Jan 2015 12:18:54
Relegation a serious threat with targets like this
5.) Had any of you heard of becciho or beckford when we signed them? I doubt it, shooting people down before they've even signed. No wonder I havnt posted in months. Majority on here are such doom and gloomers it's unreal. On the other hand a certain view also have very clever and astute points.
6.) 15 Jan 2015 10:37:11
All our squad isn't that bad and with a couple more loan players we be fine . Redfern is getting it together now and team have been playing ok ish so let's give him the support to get out of this bad period Redders will get the best from players he not like Hockaday!!
7.) 15 Jan 2015 12:07:16
I will tell you something lads and lasses. Even the rumour sight is getting me down.
8.) 15 Jan 2015 15:39:54
God Help us!! More Rubbish!
27 Aug 2014 12:45:18
This is fact, a student of mine works in s shop in leeds where leeds players often go yesterday one of the new recruits went in and he got talking to him he asked if he was playing against bradford his reply worries me " don, t know nobody knows the boss won't talk to us its a total shambles" fills you with confidence doesn, t it
1.) First time on. Heard something similar from operations guy at ER that no-one seems to know what is going on most of the time.
2.) Utter rubbish.
3.) 27 Aug 2014 18:02:56
so many players now his best bet is to pull them out of a hat and let them get on with it and walk away until saturday the good day to sack him as new manager will have 2weeks to get to know the players
4.) One of the most unbelievable posts I've ever seen, choose your mates carefully in future.
5.) Does sound a bit far fecthed however the displays seem to back this up nobodys know what they are doing on the pitch no gameplan no marking no clue. is this true no one knows is it believable on what we see and how they play.YES
6.) Wouldn't be the first manager/coach to blank players

Please take okafor off even stationary traffic cones would take the ball off him.
1.) 23 Nov 2025 15:35:03
He’s been poor today.
01 Nov 2025 16:38:31
Sorry mr farke but you are tactically inept what has Nmecha done to deserve time on the pitch before Piroe.
1.) 01 Nov 2025 19:43:24
Yes Farke out for me.
Today was unacceptable and we were very fortunate to only lose 3 nil.
Wtf did DF think would happen against one of the best sides at pressing by sending out the team with his instructions of effing about playing tippy tappy turgidly slow at the back stuff which Brighton quickly capitalised on such a meak approach and should have been out of sight by h. t.
What is the point of DCL up top on his own when he clearly needs a team mate close by for his knock downs and I could go on and on with the usual poor subs and ability to change a game.
Sorry Farke supporters but I think he is out of his depth and it's just how many goals we will lose by next week against Dyche's Forest.
Despite the limited attacking options DF should still do better and I think our clueless owners are just as culpable but even so today reeks of Jesse Marsch and I hope after next week's inevitable defeat they say thanks Daniel you're a great man and great Championship manager but enough is enough.
Brendan Rodgers would be an improvement plus our cheapskate owners giving him funds in January because if not we are looking like relegation fodder.
2.) 01 Nov 2025 21:43:04
I'm starting to think it is time for a change of manager too.
Looking at the season so far, we played well against Wolves, Bournemouth and in the first 30 minutes against West Ham
The Everton result was a lucky win and the others games the players panick under pressure
But the big question is, who do the 49ers look to replace Farke with.
3.) 01 Nov 2025 23:24:48
Oh dear oh dear, the entitled Leeds fans who seriously believe we were not going to be in a dog fight to stay up.
Who honestly thought we would go to the Amex after not winning there for 15 years against currently a far superior team than ours in quality players and actually get a result?
I can understand the disappointment of being beaten today and blowing out a lot of hot air in the frustration of being beaten by a better team than ours, at their ground!
But then to be bleating Farke doesn’t change his squad when he’s clearly has done that with Bijol and Tanaka.
Harry Gray as much as he is a wonderfully talented teenager, he’s is not going to save the day.
Farke has only got what he has and there’s no magic wand that is going to suddenly change that, no matter what formation you want to play.
This is the big boy league and we were always going to lose more games than we win, especially away.
As hard as that maybe for some to recognize and process that fact, it is the bottom line.
Sacking Farke while we are above the relegation zone and not cut adrift like it would seem Wolves are at this moment, to me would be madness.
Then replace him with who? Vítor
Pereira perhaps when he gets the sack?
What really good coach want to come to a club, when the season is already underway to a team that's going to be in a relegation battle?
Let me tell you, there’s going to be no knight in a white shining amour. Daniel Farke is not a great coach but he is most definitely the best candidate in a realistic world to try and keep us up.
We do have a chance of staying up this season and that's not by rolling over teams like Brighton at their place, it’s by getting results at Elland rd.
That is our only ticket to survival in my book.
It’s of no surprise to me that our games have more intensity to them at home, thanks to our fans because it is they who raise our players on the day.
I don’t hope to change anyone’s mind on here because that would be like getting blood from a stone and besides I really couldn’t care less.
It just needs to be said that’s all.
I’m very surprised by your new stance Vid, what happened to all that belief and confidence of yours that you regularly purveyed on here?
I’m used to the same mob on here who complain, lose or win, but you as well?
It’s a shame that.
4.) 02 Nov 2025 00:48:09
OP i respect your solid defence of DF. pity he seems incapable of inspiring his selections applying his nonsensical tactical decisions to come out the blocks firing away from home.
It shouldn't need a home crowd to do that as they are professional footballers that should have that in their dna from kick off plus a rousing inspiring few words from their leader to fire them up that bit extra wouldn't hurt iether.
What we saw today away from home yet again was another sit back and far too cautious and nervous passive display that convinces me DF is out of his depth at this level.
I can accept defeat and expect defeat against half the sides in this league but not a weak surrender with clueless tactics from the get go and clueless subs and change of tactics that made us even worse as is neary always the case with DF's substitutes.
Despite your protestations that no one could do better I and many many other concerned Leeds fans think otherwise and I expect our tactically inept manager next week will carry on setting the team up incorrectly away from home and employing head scratching substitutions that fail once again to make an iota of difference in affecting the inevitable damaging defeat against one of our relegation rivals.
It's then an international break and hopefully that will be when we see a new manager given 2 weeks to sort the team out to play to their strengths because Bijol is used to playing in a back three and DCL needs a partner up front and the ball needs to be got forward hell of a lot quicker.
It's simple stuff a new manager with this squad of players would do and not try and play like we did in the Championship. We need to play ugly to survive instead of passively and losing ugly.
We all want the best for Leeds United and unfortunately today's limp showing like most of our away performances underline Daniel Farke is not the right man with this squad of players at this level to take us any further.
5.) 02 Nov 2025 07:57:23
Harry ain't the answer : indeed Op and he rightly remains off field
But here's where you can't argue ' Baracus certainly isn't but somehow he's ALWAYS on the field, so explain that too me please
He's shockingly poor and his inclusion is Farkes insistence ., it's as simple as this, he's useless, . so now let's see someone else be " useless " so ANYONE at this stage barr him, there's nothing to be lost because Brendan is as poor as anyone else
It's clear we are in the hole, yet Fake always seems so quiet, so going through motions of the 90 mins
There were times yesterday when on field issues were occurring yet Farke remains totally silent
He. needs to try a different approach, he needs to coach from sidelines, . it's all so mundane and it's going to get worse
Farke had to have been happy with Lewin ?, so that's on him how. could he not see those lads would struggle, Nmecha another lost cause
You have called out other sides already this season, saying Leeds are going to be better, well guess what OP we ain't, as was evident last week with Burnley, it's beginning of end for Farke whether you like that or not
T.
6.) 02 Nov 2025 09:28:07
I’m not even going to try and defend your very clear dislike for Aaronson Chris, where his goal gave us three points instead of one against West Ham.
That doesn’t mean I rate Aaronson because I don’t, but he is all we’ve got and complaining about it all the time isn’t going to change that.
Farke has only the players he’s got at his disposal, there’s no miracle over night that is going to change that either.
I would say for most coach/ manager it’s the beginning of the end, they are the most disposable commodity in football these days.
I’ve only called out Burnley and Sunderland as I believe their plight will be the same as ours come the end of this season and good luck to any of us who can stay up as they will have truly deserved it.
7.) 02 Nov 2025 10:14:58
You say, Farke. can't be blamed
I ask who picks Brendan
Theres. your blame in my book
Brendan scored a total tap in last week, I said let's see what happens next game, horrific again yesterday
He ain't. all the problem but my god, his. comtinuance on a team sheet tells me. responsibility needs to be accounted for
Your able. to say sternly no to Harry, I say he can't be any worse than Brendan, no 1 on the squad can be worse, but you know. what THEY MAY be better .
Farke left alone now is going to resurrect his Norwich days and turn us into Norwich PT 2, we look bereft and it's his team, so you know what happens next
I take Dave's point, but it has too happen Farke out and get someone else to start working their own ethos through our squad
Its a free hit now the horrendous run we face, and maybe whoever is next may have his way accepted by players when we exit our horrific upcoming run
I said it 2 weeks ago if Farke picked Brendan following week I was done with him
And so it has come. to pass FARKE OUT
horrific football last few games, DNA and all that other rubbish he's now spouting.
8.) 02 Nov 2025 11:02:16
At the end of last season I stated that to sack DF would be ridiculous without giving him a chance to prove himself, I said if we were at or near the bottom of the league nearing Christmas then he should the be replaced, I'm sorry to say that I believe that I was wrong. if we give him while Christmas we will be in the shite with no shovel, he should go now and give his replacement the chance to make his mark.
Mr Underwood and Marathe should listen to the fanbase and do what the great majority belt should be done. I know there are some on here who think DF is our savior and I honestly believe needs congratulating for his success is getting us promoted but please go now with dignity and allow someone else to take this wonderful club to the next level.
01 Nov 2025 16:32:12
Hate to say it 3 nil down and absolutely clueless.
01 Nov 2025 15:46:15
So Brighton are the top team in winn8ng the ball high up the pitch so what do we do play out from the back and lose possession.
18 Oct 2025 21:50:22
OK we lost we deserved to lose too slow going forward etc. But why slag Ba off at least he had a worthwhile shot on target whereas the one who is paid the bucks to do that only had 1 shot which cleared the stand a fit Bamford would have done better.
1.) 18 Oct 2025 22:42:18
Becuse he should off buried it! He is league 1 at best making a fourtunee for being crap!
2.) 18 Oct 2025 23:41:38
Worthwhile shot on target?! You his mother or agent?
3.) 19 Oct 2025 05:44:38
The whole team were rubbish. Not just ba.

OK yes he does miss some but what striker doesn't even prem strikers miss but at least when fit Bamford gets into position to miss and score whereas piroe does not also appears doesn't like to shoot.
29 Jun 2024 17:06:29
Hope Archie going anywhere is a wind up.
14 Aug 2023 20:19:11
Interesting as if sini goes out on loan then that is the maximum we can send out so Gnonto Adams etc will have to be purchases.
23 Apr 2023 22:05:51
That makes sense.
