Well I've just seen the first media piece linking us with Ryan Kent. After he apparently went missing last season. He is back.
I do not think we really need a lot more unless cree or gnonto moves. Maybe a lb.
1.) 31 Jul 2024 17:04:52
Thank goodness for that, it just isn’t the same without Leeds being linked with Ryan Kent during a transfer window - well spotted W-B.
In all seriousness, the journalist who wrote/ posted that article should be dismissed immediately as he/ she is clearly sitting back and not bothered about doing a proper job! Lazy doesn’t even begin to describe it.
2.) 31 Jul 2024 17:10:25
Here was me thinking that for the first time in God knows how many seasons, we are not linked with Clarke Kent, well there you go, never rule it out.
3.) 31 Jul 2024 17:21:17
Looks like you were wrong too about CS not going OP.
4.) 31 Jul 2024 18:35:40
Baz Very wrong.
5.) 31 Jul 2024 19:02:53
Indeed George
Extremely ( as per usual )

Oh here we go!
Statler and Waldorf
Give it a rest you two!
7.) 31 Jul 2024 21:09:32
Get a grip Baz, it’s like being back at primary school.
8.) 31 Jul 2024 21:29:37
Ryan Kent replacement for the west ham player formerly known as leeds'
9.) 31 Jul 2024 22:16:14
Your opinion MG . of which I most certainly do not concur with.
10.) 31 Jul 2024 22:34:32
Point scoring Leeds forum for two point scoring posters.

Maresca for Chelsea. A bold move.
Can't see him getting much more of a tune out of them than poch.
Good bet for first sacking?
1.) 04 Jun 2024 03:20:54
Ben
I am hoping 1st sacking in next season EPL is Russell Martin at Southampton.
Marescu will do okish at Chelsea. top 5 or 6 next season.
2.) 04 Jun 2024 05:41:46
I think he will do well too Baz. He seems to thrive with clubs that flout spending rules! ??
Interested to understand why you want Martin biffed first tho? Maresca was the only gaffer that talked twoddle during the season, and I didn’t read anything from the Saints gaffer that would create dislike? Like I say, just interested; I’ve probs forgotten something again! ???.
3.) 04 Jun 2024 07:43:27
Bold prediction baz. First sacking will be Ipswich boss after not winning a game pre Xmas.
4.) 04 Jun 2024 08:42:31
Different league now, not arsed haha.
5.) 04 Jun 2024 10:59:21
Aus . there is more chance of yoh going on a date woth Skippy the Bush Kangaroo than Ipswich ever sacking McKenna even if they were to get relegated
Back to back promotions, a newly signed 4 yeat contract. McKenna is definitely in the top 4 best ever Ipswich managers
Perhaps you need to calm down a tad on your continually erroneous Ipswich predictions Aus ?.
6.) 04 Jun 2024 11:07:08
Brighty.
1) I have a particular dislike of Southampton since 78/ 79 season when their very dirty side unjustly defeated Tony Currie inspired Leeds United in cuo semi
2) As for smug RM . his smugness grew bigger and bigger in dismantling of Daniel Farke and Lèeds United in each of those 3 matches last season.
Want him sacked asap and Southampton relegated this season please.
7.) 04 Jun 2024 11:50:48
Ok Baz, I can understand that now! ??.
8.) 04 Jun 2024 14:06:43
Baz. I guarantee you if Mr Ipswich boss gets his choice of in comings or it’s perceived that way and they are in bottom 3 by Turkey time. He gone.
Happy to wager a baldy hair cut on it.
9.) 04 Jun 2024 16:52:42
No point on a bet Ausmeister because you would do another Bermo and welch on it when you lose ??
Just my Baz guarantee that more chance of you Aus becoming the next Aussie Prime minister
than Ipswich sacking McKenna at any point next season R or not!
Fat and zero chance.
10.) 04 Jun 2024 19:13:07
I just don’t think Southampton will be able to contain premiership teams like they did us. They’ll be the first to concede in matches and will then be up against it. He needs better defenders to stay up.
11.) 04 Jun 2024 19:35:31
Agree with Baz, can’t see Ipswich sacking McKenna regardless next season.
Similar to Luton (overachievers) and Burnley (big name manager) this season, who I can’t imagine considered firing them.
12.) 05 Jun 2024 07:18:42
They’ve tied to him to a four year contract, and made him one of the best paid managers in the country, and are probably, as a business, budgeting on being relegated. Yes, of course they’re going to sack him, if their forecast looks like being accurate, just so that they can put a £6m dent in their own budget! Makes perfect financial sense!
He will only leave if a big club comes in for him, and they pay up the compo that his new contract will oblige others to pay Ipswich to even be allowed to talk to him.
13.) 05 Jun 2024 10:16:03
They’ve given him a new contract and the players he needs to rebuild the team.
Hey ho. They will still be rubbish and staring R in the face from get go. You are deluded if you don’t think they will sack him. Somebody will have to cop the blame.
Question. Who usually cops the blame chaps.
Mark my words as prime minister. He is as good as gone.
14.) 05 Jun 2024 10:19:33
150% spot on logical facts Bright
Aus hasn't got a didgeridoo.
15.) 05 Jun 2024 13:46:47
More juice for the sacking bright.
Tell me Ipswich above bottom 3 at Turkey and he good.
Otherwise gone.
100%.
16.) 05 Jun 2024 15:19:23
Is that the same " Aussie 100% " guarantee that stated Ipswich would drop to mid table last season ???.
14 May 2024 14:05:30
I watched the playoff between mkdons and Crawley the other night. The dons were absolutely hammered. Max Dean and Lewis bate played for mkdons. Dean was lively but bate was very average I cannot see us offering lewis a new contract not really improved any in his time with us.
What really confused me was mkdons with a average gate of just below 10k per week are in a 30k stadium. The ground the other night was shockingly empty.
I know the owners are hoping for the championship or even Prem football, but surely have a stadium that big with little atmosphere is a disadvantage?
I always thought when hull city built a 20k stadium it wouldn't be filled.
It's like the Saudis. You can build as many big stadiums and have big stars to play in them but if there are no fans it is not going to work.
1.) 14 May 2024 14:36:57
Ben
I always liked Max Dean whenever I saw him play
Georgey and I lamented the sale of Max Dean ( another potential Leif Davis )
Aa for Lewis Bate . nope.
2.) 14 May 2024 18:59:24
I’m sure you praised Lewis Bate on several occasions Baz!
3.) 14 May 2024 19:05:57
The club obviously decided Joseph was the better prospect. Can't keep every player who comes through, epsecially when others are better. Move on, pal.
4.) 14 May 2024 20:22:41
Nope OP shock horror you be wrong . Lewis Bate has never impressed one . not that he had many chances in 1st team. but even in U21s he was meh.
5.) 14 May 2024 23:51:48
Yes baz I've never seen anything from bate even 21s gyabi always looked a better prospect.
05 May 2024 18:11:35
Just seen that kal has won the West ham player of the year vote.
With the help of the leeds fans!
Well done kalvin!
1.) 05 May 2024 18:28:44
He received over 60% of the votes ??.
2.) 05 May 2024 18:31:59
Thoroughly deserved ? ?.
3.) 05 May 2024 18:51:18
That’s actually taking the piss out of the lad.
4.) 05 May 2024 20:02:52
He's done more to win that than his treble last season.
5.) 05 May 2024 20:14:46
I think Leeds fans should vote for Luke Ayling at Boro too
Played 19 games
EIGHT assists . eight!
Give Ayling a new contract . his loan move by DF looking foolish ?.
6.) 05 May 2024 20:26:44
You could look at it like that Cork or you could say that all those Leeds fans took time to vote and he still means something to them.
He is still one of our own!
7.) 05 May 2024 20:30:46
Hasn't Luke won the same at Boro?
:-)
8.) 05 May 2024 21:12:46
You wait until it's Citeh's turn. Kal will win that too. ?.
9.) 05 May 2024 21:20:05
Hasn't he just Sheds?
28 Apr 2024 13:41:44
What happened to piroe?
I've been think why has Joel not worked this season at Leeds.
Was it extra pressure? A semi big move to a big club can get into the head of a player. Expectations are higher and the pressure a footballer puts on himself can be greater.
Is it the different system or different role?
Having watched his goals for Swansea there are a lot of him just stood in the box an the ball played to him or arriving in the box late. Maybe our players are just not looking for him in the same way.
Being a big fish in a little pond at Swansea Maybe their forwards looked always to play him in?
Maybe he hasn't integrated into the group very well or is a bit of an outsider.
Or maybe the intensity of playing at a top side means he cannot find the same space as he did.
Anyway it has not worked. I think most of us had him top scorer this year. Will farke persist with him next term or is he destined for a loan etc.
1.) 28 Apr 2024 14:14:00
How about putting DF out on loan next season!
2.) 28 Apr 2024 17:19:28
? Yes and to your neck of the woods.
14 Oct 2023 16:15:56
He said we would be looking at loans primarily.
If the loans are as good as jadon, rodon and spence we should be golden.
08 Aug 2024 10:08:58
City fans are a little worried to be honest they have been promised up to 6 signings but there is nothing through the door. So we are in a far better place. As you say class we have sold 2 but already have cover for either.
I'm confident anyone we get now will integrate into the squad over the coming weeks. Hull have half a team yet to arrive.
Short of gnonto leaving last minute we are in good shape.
06 Aug 2024 09:32:13
Firpo has proved he is a decent attacking full back at this level. His link up with cree last season was fruitful. Also some of his crosses were brilliant right on the money.
His fitness has improved as well he was available for a large part of the season.
But and there is a big but. He just struggles with pace. Against Leicester last term especially. They had their tales up and the wide men ran at firpo he was lost.
He no pace to get back from his forays up front either but if we have decent cover back there it matters less. Him and Cooper were a disaster.
My opinion is he is OK if we are on top in a game but we could do a lot better at lb.
04 Aug 2024 12:41:37
Yes orta and the power he was given was a mistake by rads. Also the fact he didn't invest when we went up could be seen as shortsighted. But I would rather him keep his powder dry than gamble and go all in and bankrupt the club.
One slight thing that maybe excuses rads and orta a tiny bit is our rapid rise.
We were a very ordinary mid table championship team. Our buys were journeyman, prem youngsters and players for the future.
Then within a couple of years we were going to the prem. Our first team was very thin. Our bench was no where near good enough and our academy lads were all either way off the first team or never be good enough.
What followed was a bit of panic I think. Marshe. Not good enough. The recruitment poor. But rads held onto the purse strings and we live to fight on.
Orta even did well with gnonto and gio towards the end.
So rads was good for us . Orta less so.
But we could be a mid table team if cellino was still in charge because he was just good at being a bit mad.
04 Aug 2024 09:05:24
Rads as bright says was and is a good owner for a modern football club.
All in all he left Leeds in a better state than he found the club. Yes he made mistakes but he set the club on a upward trajectory.
As I have said before I don't think he ever really had the money for the prem and I think the success with bielsa took them by surprise.
After 16 years of lower league football he got us going again. For that I'm grateful. If they had planned better we might have stayed in the prem.
02 Aug 2024 08:50:10
Woody I agree that Joseph should be given starts from the start of the season. He looks sharp and strong. He will catch a few defences napping in the first few games. And hopefully goals will flow and confidence will rise.
Do I think he is the answer for a full season? Probably not. He as a young man will have a dip at some point.
Whitaker is a good shout bright very good off the wing and a good few goals in him.
I can see Joseph getting a quite a few this season but if piroe and Bamford weight in with 10 or so each and a few more from midfield and gio we should be OK.
The thing with nketiha woody is he didn't run as much as Bamford. He wasn't fit enough and or he didn't have it in him to do a bielsa job upfront.
Another loan player that never really fit into the bielsa team.
Good player. Probably not prem level though.
