Blimey Charlie, Kamara has finally signed a 4 year deal. It’s been a busy day.
Maybe another addition tomorrow, hopefully a LB, but that seems unlikely, but let’s see.
I think as a whole, this has been the most productive transfer window I can remember for some time.
If we can keep Sini, Willy and Jimmy and maybe add another forward, I think we’ve got a right squad! Feeling far happier than a few weeks back.
1.) 31 Aug 2023 22:53:29
Oh no. You said productive. And sound positive. Damn you!
2.) 01 Sep 2023 10:30:10
Dont get over giddy fellas.
12 Jul 2023 09:54:58
Looks like Rodrigo off to Qatar, deal done and medical awaits according to Fabrizio Ramano. Good luck fella, fill your bank account and enjoy the sun, shame you couldn’t help us get back to the EPL.
1.) 12 Jul 2023 10:26:26
Indeed MG.
2.) 12 Jul 2023 10:45:14
Agree mid. Like to keep him. But good luck to him. That time of his career self before side.
3.) 12 Jul 2023 11:23:08
Beat me to it. Again.
4.) 12 Jul 2023 12:09:11
Can't understand any team coming for our players after last 2 seasons I hope these younguns shine this season them players on loan can gone run a duck.
5.) 14 Jul 2023 08:22:33
Shame he’s leaving. One of the few last year that looked like he cared.
At his age I understand it. Good luck to him.

Reports this morning are that Leeds are prepared to let Joffy go out on loan for the rest of the season.
I know he hasn’t had much of an impact this season and will be great for him to get games and goals, but hopefully shows that there is another striker due in Jan? Here’s hoping so!
1.) 09 Jan 2023 09:24:25
I’m not sure he is good enough for prem. So hopefully he does well where he goes and they buy him. And yes you would think that indicates incoming.
2.) 09 Jan 2023 10:06:47
A loan at the start of the season would’ve been the best thing, had we landed the right striker then. He needs a full season of regular football to help him fulfill his talent. I’m sure time away would see us getting back a much stronger and capable player. He does have it in him imo.
3.) 09 Jan 2023 13:31:57
You’d think the pope would be a good striker given time bright. Lol.
4.) 09 Jan 2023 17:15:17
I hear he showed a lot of promise in his early days, Aus. ???.
5.) 10 Jan 2023 07:23:51
Yeah, think Joffy was probably overhyped tbh, he gives his all but not sure he’s got enough about him to be a Premier League striker. Hope I’m wrong.
08 Sep 2020 16:36:42
New rumour from a few different sources (French Football News/ Goal) saying we are trying to convince Julian Draxler to join from PSG.
Highly, highly unlikely, but wouldn’t that be epic!
1.) 08 Sep 2020 18:08:11
Epic effort but looks like he prefers living in Paris to living in Leeds
Strange lad.
2.) 08 Sep 2020 18:49:22
Yes apparently he is not interested.
Next!
3.) 09 Sep 2020 00:38:30
Other woody 😂.
4.) 09 Sep 2020 12:43:40
He is on £120,000.a week. Never happening.
5.) 09 Sep 2020 13:16:20
Draxler, Really? let's just park him on the list between Messi and Bale. Just above Ronaldo (Christiano that is) .
Maybe he does prefer Paris to Leeds but he could live in Batley and get the train in.
6.) 10 Sep 2020 11:10:37
Why not Beeston, and just walk to the ground?
26 Aug 2020 13:01:05
Apparently Greenwood from Arsenal is also having a medical today! This lad could be good signing, he chose Leeds over Man U! The lad is obviously bright as well!

All our troubles are over, Ryan Kent has had his contract terminated, so available on a Free!
It won’t be long before the lazy journo’s jump all over that one.
1.) 18 Oct 2024 09:39:54
Why was his contract terminated?
2.) 18 Oct 2024 11:44:17
Coz he's shit, to quote Mourinho.
3.) 18 Oct 2024 11:57:42
Seems reasonable.
4.) 18 Oct 2024 13:27:48
???.
29 Aug 2024 20:17:55
Schmidt Has scored for St Gallen this evening in what is hopefully his last game before flying to Leeds!
17 Aug 2024 14:09:12
Bring Paddy on, score the winner.
1.) 17 Aug 2024 14:30:18
Or maybe not, wishful thinking but I think he offered a tad more that Joseph.
2.) 17 Aug 2024 14:31:28
Hmmmmm .
3.) 17 Aug 2024 14:33:23
Clean sheet at least
BUT
Sign quality CAM and CF please
A must do
13 days left of window ?.
4.) 17 Aug 2024 14:33:48
Ha ha. Mid. Did he touch the ball? Think twice I can recall. Zzzzz. Boring.
5.) 17 Aug 2024 14:37:11
That'll mean tying opponent legs together, emptying the Hawthorns stadium, starting the ball on the goal line in middle of goal and then hope for the best.
6.) 17 Aug 2024 15:13:12
As I said last week
Georgey the Entertainer ?.
17 Aug 2024 13:21:00
Definitely think he should bring on Joseph at half time.
1.) 17 Aug 2024 13:27:02
Agree mid. Always been the case. If he didn’t take his chance which thus far he hasn’t. We are forked. No back up.
2.) 17 Aug 2024 13:37:42
Agree Aus, definitely need a £15-£20m established centre forward.
3.) 17 Aug 2024 14:42:13
Cloning technology in the West Midlands?
24 Jul 2024 07:36:46
According to TransferMarkt, Leeds have generated just over £54m in sales this summer with Archie, Kamara, Roca etc (they also included the Sinisterra sale of £20m but not sure why as it was last year, so haven’t included that money) .
After the purchases of Rodon and Bogle we still have almost £40m in the kitty to invest, plus if we get £25m for Gnonto, we should be able to buy pretty much anyone we need to win the league, so long as they want to come.
A decent CF, sorry a top drawer CF, winger to replace Gnonto, LB and Sammie from Blackburn and that’s a squad that should not only win the league but be challenging for the cups as well.
1.) 24 Jul 2024 08:26:12
Nice bit of dough that.
2.) 24 Jul 2024 08:39:05
I agree MG, but think the maths are out a little. Sini was over 20 mil, Archie 40 mil and the others about to around 10, so more 70 mil.
But without splitting hairs I concur with you suggested requirements with an addition of a playmaker. The guy from Blackburn would be good, but still think they will go for the American Ginger Ninja from the canaries, he's a right handful.
3.) 24 Jul 2024 08:40:03
Fingers crossed MG:)
4.) 24 Jul 2024 08:42:12
I have no idea how much of that money is left over after paying off previous transfer installments?
Also I feel selling Gnonto now would not be a good move in my opinion. He’s a another very young player with bags of potential, for me it’s not always about the money, it’s about building a solid team of players that can perform well in the Premiership and not only have sustainability but the potential to progress further.
You’re not going to obtain that if you keep breaking apart the younger talented players who are growing into that team.
5.) 24 Jul 2024 10:04:33
Agree OP. Wouldn't sell anyone now if we don't have to financially. Use the loan market wisely and maybe buy someone for smart money. LB, CF and I think I'd be happy.
6.) 24 Jul 2024 10:33:02
Agree Opti dill. The big trick is holding on to them both although dosent look like anywhere near a decent offer for either yet. So maybe they stay.
Nailed it with lb and striker too.
Possibly get rid of the deadwood. You know. Nudge nudge and all that. Still about 3-4 I’d be happy to go.
Firpo not one of them.
7.) 24 Jul 2024 10:37:32
Based upon your previous review of Harrison Burrows I would definitely pinch him from Sheffield United. For a top team we have been without a decent set pieces player for too long now, and the lad has very good goals/ assists stats in div one.
We can probably guess that if playing a back four it will most likely be Wober at left back? With Sam Byram as back up for either side at full back, so it seems very unlikely, just hope Burrows doesn’t turn into Leif Davis 2.0 for the blunts.
8.) 24 Jul 2024 10:59:10
I concur, don't sell anyone, add some quality and we are up. That backline is proper good, so likely we won't ship many, but a few more goals would be good.
9.) 24 Jul 2024 11:37:24
Scoring enough goals to go up will be ( one of ) Leeds achilles heels IF
- they sell CS / or more specifically too late in window to recruit goalscoring replacements
Timing is crucial and Leeds must mot sabotage promotion by it
Ideally
Sell no one else
And
Buy/ Loan a CF, CAM, LB.
10.) 24 Jul 2024 11:51:04
A LB who assists and scores a load!
Yes sign that Harrison Burrows lad instead of Blades.
Not another Leif Davis scenario please (. as Class correctly warns of)
At the moment imo Leeds United definitely aren't in any better position to go up than 3 relegated teams.
That's a problem.
11.) 24 Jul 2024 23:26:53
Baz, you're underestimating Scott Parker's ability to take the best team in the league and make them play considerably worse than they should ?.
12.) 24 Jul 2024 23:42:30
Luton have also lost their talisman in Ross Barkley. Kabore gone back to Citeh. Osho, another regular starter for them has gone.
Sheff United a myriad of off-field issues atm providing a grey cloud of uncertainty (lovely to see) . But they have signed some good players for this level in O'Hare, Moore and Burrows. We've also nicked one of their best players from last season, who was their starting RB. Sounds like Hamer (£20m release clause) and Vinicius Souza are subject to a lot of transfer speculation. No telling how many clauses have been activated for their better players because of relegation. Ownership uncertainty making it more likely players leave until resolved imo.
Like our squad and chances better than all three at present tbh, so have to disagree with you on this mate.
13.) 24 Jul 2024 23:45:05
Wilder also a sh! tbag who hasn't impressed anywhere with his coaching in recent years.
14.) 25 Jul 2024 00:06:22
Burnley have also lost some regular first teamers in Muric, Taylor, Bruun Larsen and Assignon, whilst Datro Fofana has gone back to Chelsea after his loan.
Sheff have also lost BBD after his loan, Foderingham, Archer, Jebbison, McBurnie and the aforementioned Bogle.
All the related team's squads are weaker after coming down tbh.
15.) 25 Jul 2024 02:52:50
Good details Dill
Fair dos.

Or David Bentley ?.
13 Aug 2023 12:11:13
As he is refusing to play, should his work visa be revoked?
17 Jul 2023 22:41:15
This is good news. This Hammond chap seems to know his onions! Good work chap, carry on.
20 Jul 2021 16:48:07
You called!
10 Jan 2021 12:17:33
I don’t know why we don’t go for Zincenko from City. He is rapid and would be perfect for the left back spot and struggles to get time at Man City. I think MB would turn him into a worldly. Even if we get him on loan for the rest of the season, a better alternative to Alioski.

Not sure what you mean Baz?
I have lambasted Messlier many times in the past, but I’ve also celebrated his quality on many times as well. He has cost us in the past, but also saved us!
My suggestion was simply to help you, and your fingers from typing unnecessary comments (as we have all agreed to accept your current opinion on Messlier) so you don’t need to rewrite it daily! .
We don’t arthritis to creep into those digits of yours!
29 Nov 2024 16:41:12
I’ve got an idea Baz, what’s say that we all accept you don’t like Messlier until you tell us otherwise.
It will help you going forward as you won’t have to post it everyday!
Just a suggestion.
28 Nov 2024 12:54:21
I think he will successfully fail, well I hope so.
27 Nov 2024 21:29:04
I thought Piroe had a good game tonight, good interchange, had to be in the right place to score, did his job.
27 Nov 2024 20:40:11
Oops, Leeds and Piroe playing well, and guess what, Piroe scored again! Good decision from DF.
