We have been linked with David brooks since the transfer window opened, can't see them loaning him out after his performance tonight for Bournemouth.
1.) 25 Jan 2024 20:50:01
Mighty I empathise with your feelings
Best to take these " rumours " with a huge pinch of salt.
2.) 25 Jan 2024 23:20:53
Yep just seen the highlights of that game. Brooks was class as was Sinisterra .
Surely Bournemouth would want to loan out Brooks.

It’s reared its head again today. Saints also sniffing supposedly. ??.
4.) 27 Jan 2024 14:01:39
He'll probably end up with ?? should they sell KDH next few days.
5.) 27 Jan 2024 14:08:23
That would make sense too George. Can you check yer temperature please? Do you feel ok? Too much sense lately from you, so if you could simmer down, that’d be great! ??.
01 Sep 2023 23:31:45
Sinni out - Looks like Jaidon Anthony coming the others way.
28 Aug 2023 14:11:09
This story keeps popping up about us linked with Antonio is absurd
No way are Weat Ham selling him and even if they did there is no way he is joining us, by all accounts he's on around 80k a week and he's still playing and scoring in the premier league .
21 Aug 2023 13:58:06
Latest rumours / trash talk / paper talk / click bait
Jon Jo shelvey and
Sinni to Brentford?
Personally I think we could do with a Shelvey
Archie and Ampadu
Be hard pushed to play 90 mins week in week out for 46 games
And I think some presence in midfield would be good .
1.) 21 Aug 2023 14:35:06
Always liked Shelvey, good passer of the ball and happy to put a tackle in. I'd take him.
2.) 21 Aug 2023 15:33:03
Hmmm… Kamara or Shelvey… could we do both? Shelvey’s distribution can be world class, but his legs were going two year ago last I watched him. Cards would follow and suspensions. Kamara has better legs and reliable bite. Neither are an Ampadu and neither would be my first choice… but we’re down to third and fourth choices… we just need to get in a striker, a left back as well as think about midfield. Sign ‘em up!
3.) 21 Aug 2023 15:52:30
Uncle Fester? It's a No from me.
4.) 21 Aug 2023 16:22:05
Prefer Kamara to shelvey.
5.) 21 Aug 2023 17:05:42
Massive NO to Shelvey.
He can certainly still pass, but he is really slow, and injury prone. He’s also reportedly fallen out with Steve Cooper, which unfortunately isn’t the first time he’s had a disagreement with a manager. We need to do everything possible to build the spirit in the dressing room after the last two dispiriting seasons an the equally disheartening summer to date - and bringing in Shelvey would not seem likely to help in that.
With his serious lack of pace, I’d rather play Lewis Bate, who also has a very good passing range, or Gyabi who can pass and is faster and stronger than Bate - or even Jenkins or Mortensen from u21s. Basically Shelvey would be taking up potential development spot on the squad for little benefit for the squad.
Obviously I’d far rather we bring in an experienced player, but almost any of those we’ve already been linked with would be a far better options than Shelvey.
6.) 21 Aug 2023 19:10:57
You know everything has turned to rubbish when people who support the team I have supported for 53 years trying to convince themselves that they always liked Jonjo Shelvy. I give in all sense has left the room at Elland Road. F U Radz F U 49ers.
7.) 21 Aug 2023 20:45:52
It's official. there is someone new on this forum even more peeved than I at the sheisters Radz and Co
Step forward Cockneywhite.
20 Aug 2023 11:27:06
Any word on the street of any incoming players?
Nat Phillips, Charlie Taylor, Kamara rumours seem to have rumbling on for weeks .
1.) 20 Aug 2023 13:10:38
Haven’t earnt enough interest yet from sales. Looking at ones for the future at the moment.
Maybe jan.

A few things i am not liking at the moment
Players getting visibly annoyed with each other on pitch, throwing hands in air, the argument about the penalty in the Hull
Game, the discontent from the players being subbed as well, I also notice summerville letting everyone know his name when he scores, it's about him not the badge or the club . I'd drop summerville out the squad totally as to me I think it's a bad influence and I think is eyeing a move .
1.) 16 Apr 2024 00:53:58
Bang on the money Mighty re Summerville.
2.) 16 Apr 2024 03:56:09
Play him while we’ve got him but he does come across as an arrogant egotist. Big fish in little pond, if big boys come with the loot he will fade into obscurity. Look at PHILLIPS, lost years of his career trying to slide in above his level - but then if you were offered his kind of loot wouldn’t you . Summerville is quick and small but a couple of outings against some Italian or German defensive assassins and he will slow down.
3.) 16 Apr 2024 07:13:23
It does make you think that something has gone on behind the scenes that's possibly caused our bad form since the Watford game. Remember the palace game where something happened at half time and we got battered 2nd half. I'm staying positive (we'll try to) that it's just a bad patch) , which has ended and we'll be back to our best for the next 3 games ?.
4.) 16 Apr 2024 08:03:27
Good point raised, I got slated on here a few weeks ago about pointing out his body language and attitude, and I stick to my opinion.
Whilst I like him as a player, and don't get me wrong he has kept us up there with his goals, he is always one touch too much. He hardly every makes the right pass to a player with much more space and time, just tries to bring it on his right foot and shoot. His body language just screams disinterested to me, and maybe he has had offers, but if so you would think it would incentives his game or could it be that they have said you're not for sale at any cost, and like Elivis, he's caught in a trap.
5.) 16 Apr 2024 08:10:45
Well let’s just get rid of one of our best players because maybe his attitude might not look quite right to a few fans and he points to his name on his shirt when he scores one of the many goals he has scored for us season.
I give up!
6.) 16 Apr 2024 08:22:43
Op that's definitely not what I am saying about Jimmy, it's more to do with what i see when i watch him play, is it a potential behind the scenes issue that may be affecting him. I really like him as a player, and yes he is certainly one of our best, and to reiterate my post his goals have been invaluable.
7.) 16 Apr 2024 11:46:53
Dougie, i just think he’s probably an over confident immature cocky kid and there’s a lot of them I’m sure in professional football.
So long as he is giving 100% working for the team and scoring goals he can have whatever look on his face as far as I’m concerned.
The great thing about Jimmy he’s still not the finished article in my opinion, there’s potentially a top top player in there and I hope to God he’ll prove that with us.
8.) 16 Apr 2024 12:30:53
Few things,
All footballers are arrogent, you have to be to make it. To train hard and believe you can make it there has to be an air of arrogance. The name thing when scoring is what players do.
This behind the scenes stuff…. Give it a rest, this is not another o’ Leary killing the club with a stupid book, it just pressure
Leeds, Ipswich, arsenal, Liverpool and lesciter are all feeling it at the moment… so is there a problem at every club? Course not so don’t put things there
Football is a hard game and pressure is a killer in any profession or walk of life.
It can often come down to luck. Like all teams above we played poorly against Sunderland but unlike every other club we was cheated with two clear pens.
Had we got them pressure lifts and maybe we beat Blackburn and go up as champs.
Pressure is everywhere, teams getting cheated is just at leeds
Long live farke.
{Ed025's Note - you make some valid points there Bermo..
13 Apr 2024 18:18:04
Firpo to Byram remainder of season please.
1.) 13 Apr 2024 18:43:39
Possibly but that feels like a lesser issue right now. the main issue right now is scoring .1 goal in 3 games form will ensure Champo not EPL.
2.) 13 Apr 2024 19:54:33
Farke was a striker himself but his judgement calls on this most important area of the pitch is breathtakingly poor atm when the stakes are high and the pressure at maximum you have to be able to recognise what is lacking and what is needed.
I think although not impossible realistically we have only a slim chance of going up automatically now and that's because Farke's decision making these last few games has been so erratic when calmness is required and a clear tactical gameplan deployed which isn't happening and the players now look unsure and low on confidence and I'm struggling to see where we get a win from unless there's an Epiphany inside Farke's head and he seriously rethinks his current strategy that looks destined to end with Leeds playing in the Championship next season.
3.) 13 Apr 2024 20:50:25
Only a silm chance?
We are two points behind Ipswich who are dropping points, one point behind lecstoer who lost back to back games to relegation fodder… and have guns from 18 points ahead to only possibly four.
It’s tight. We are outsiders but it’s far from a slim chance.
4.) 13 Apr 2024 22:34:58
On paper 2 points behind with 3 to play is a good chance but like I said I think it's a slim chance because of Farke's team set up and substitutions over the last few weeks demonstrating to me unfortunately Farke is not seeing things clearly and so he doesn't fill me with as much optimism anymore.
However I'm hoping he has a few wise heads around his coaching staff at least that can persuade Farke to tweak his rather stubborn and predictable approach.
I think maybe have Gray instead of Rutter at 10 with Gruev and Kamara holding and then I would find a spot for Joseph interchanging with Gnonto and Summerville out wide. Just mix it up now and be more attack minded.
I think Farke's reluctance to not start Joseph today was a very bad error of judgement and then the subs were all over the shop as was the gameplan but we will see in 9 days
time if Farke changes to a more pro active side.
If we don't go up Automatically or the play offs then so be it I'd still keep Farke despite my critisms I'm just disappointed that so late in the season the wheels look like coming off but I do think either way Farke will learn from this and be a better manager for it.
At the end of the day people make mistakes, we all do, were only human but also when a big red flag keeps constantky waving at you and saying things ain't working as they are, you need to take notice and change the approach.
I still wish the team and Farke all the best and will be cheering them next season whatever league we are in and would love us to still make top 2 or go up via the Play offs at Wembley so where's their life but
today and the last few games have been sobering and my initial reaction to today's defeat is we've blown it now but time will tell.
5.) 13 Apr 2024 22:41:54
Great Post Bermo. Baz you constantly contradict yourself with your nonsense. 5 mins ago you were saying we have £100m attacking talent up front and now you say they can't even score. I wouldn't pay £100m for attackers who can't score. £100m worth of attackers shouldn't need a manager to tell them how to score. Give it up mate and become a spin Dr. That's where your talents truly lie.
6.) 13 Apr 2024 23:04:51
A very good well balanced post Macc .
13 Apr 2024 15:56:18
The patterns of play have become to predictable.
We get doubled up out wide and don't make the extra man count, I don't think we get enough players from mid in to dangerous areas during the attacks .
1.) 13 Apr 2024 19:37:28
Mighty Low block our undoing.
09 Apr 2024 20:52:20
First half observations - laboured, slow lacking cutting edge, predictable and Bamfords confidence looks shot, crowd is quiet and nervous, Sunderland dangerous on counter and likely will grow in to game .
We have had a wonderful season but feels we are drifting along in to the play offs.
06 Apr 2024 15:55:23
The way this game is going I think I would take a point now . At least it would be in our hands again .
1.) 06 Apr 2024 16:06:51
Yes a lot to be said for taking a point. A long way to go, but not to take anything after Ipswich, s defeat would be a real disappointment. Big improvement needed second half.

If creswell isn’t showing the right attitude then I’d rather sell.
17 Aug 2023 17:13:15
I watched Aberdeen v Celtic game on Sunday and he looks quick, direct and strong . I think he could be a good asset
He is on £1600 a week at Aberdeen and cost them about £400,000.
I reckon they’d take £4m
That would pay the clubs wages for a year.
22 Jul 2023 20:20:44
Yeah just seen what Farke said
And Adam pope seems to think he’s going to monchegladbach.
16 Jul 2023 18:30:13
I prefer perkins and Joseph over him.
16 Jul 2023 18:28:57
If we keep him, Adams, sinni, Harrison, Wober and creswell then we have the template for a very good championship team and I fancy our chances.

It’s not Bielsa v Farke get a grip
Farke shouldn’t be sacked it’s ridiculous to think that
We are ahead of the curve still for me and even if we don’t go up I trust him to do a good job next season .
13 Apr 2024 17:19:07
I said exact same watching game
We pushed hard first 20min
And then it just felt like we lost confidence because we didn’t get the early break through.
13 Apr 2024 16:43:09
I’m with you on this bermo
We weren’t given any chance of promotion at start of season, he’s done a good job with a lot of changes in the summer leading in to the season.
01 Apr 2024 22:59:11
Definitely an assist for Piroe - absolutely.
31 Mar 2024 12:53:34
I thought the penalty and second yellow for Burnley was an absolutely awful decision . Unless I’m missing something it didn’t look like a foul or a pen and certainly not worthy of a second yellow.
