Anybody any insight into this new name in the frame - Marc Guiu?
1.) 22 Jul 2025 15:23:29
19 I believe Chelsea 5th choice nice player but not fully proven.
2.) 22 Jul 2025 18:48:05
Neither was Lukaku when he went to West Brom all those years ago
A Chelsea 5th line player would still be a good addition for us at this time. Ampadu wasn't a Chelsea regular but is doing very well for us.
3.) 22 Jul 2025 18:48:06
We're not interested, Guiu will end up on loan in the Champ.
4.) 23 Jul 2025 07:52:35
Lukaku had scored 43 senior goals before joining West Brom, Guiu has 8, would not be a good signing.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke axe ?.
6.) 23 Jul 2025 20:05:48
Borate. your right.
22 Apr 2025 16:25:39
I wonder how much weight there was to newspaper reports of "Leeds are interested in". I have forgotten some of the recent ones. To see if they resurface. Except for some reason? Diego Luna.
Let's see if we are still interested (if we ever were) .
17 Mar 2025 17:48:03
What do people think of the return of the Prodigal Son?
When he was with us he performed admirably (tho there were some notable detractors) however for the price we would pay and the player we would have to drop he does not now seem the ideal choice. Who could split a Ampadou/ Tanaka partnership. That is not even taking into consideration his average performances in his recent history.
No, for me the Kalvin Philips/ Leeds Utd partnership has had its day and as the old adage goes "never go back*.
1.) 17 Mar 2025 19:22:55
Said pretty much the same mate.
2.) 17 Mar 2025 21:47:53
Pure clickbait guff . never happening imo.
3.) 17 Mar 2025 21:50:12
LUFC players that came back and played well
John Lukic
David Batty
Peter Lorimer
Frankie Gray
Probably others.
4.) 17 Mar 2025 22:10:40
Scott Sellers
David Harvey
Etc etc.
5.) 17 Mar 2025 22:53:17
Ian Baird.
No thanks KP.
6.) 18 Mar 2025 14:25:29
We will lose a few players when we're promoted.
Bring KP back.
7.) 19 Mar 2025 00:04:11
I think there's a deal to be done - as ever at the right price.
Is Phillips right now worth the clickbait £20m mooted, absolutely not. Is it true that his best form and performances came for us? Yes. Media have to read the climate too. If he can't get in the Ipswich lineup regularly and is an albatross contract for City, their bargaining power really isn't all that. I'd offer a loan with maybe 40-50% of his wages, and an offer linked to appearances to buy out his final year entirely (about £8m) if a clause of say 25 league appearances is met. If the love/ motivation of playing for Leeds again nets us a player that's 80/ 90% of the one that left its a good deal. City might think they can do better than that, if so good luck to them.
I happen to think Phillips would be an upgrade on Gruev (who has done a lovely job for £5m-but would be found out in Prem) .

Could we be interested in Chuba Akpom? Just reading Sunderland are sniffing.
1.) 30 Jan 2025 18:35:39
When it comes to the haphazard not exactly proactive nor efficient nature of LUFC recruiting
I find myself listening and empathising with Demi Lovato's power ballad :
" ANYONE! ". ???
#getusastriker.
2.) 30 Jan 2025 20:10:54
No links from LUFC to Akpom that I know of.
3.) 30 Jan 2025 20:44:29
Heard Leicester were in for him.
30 Jan 2025 17:27:21
matt targett. Are we getting him? Is he coming. If not what about young Charlie Taylor?
1.) 30 Jan 2025 20:10:19
Apparently not. To either.

Well done everybody. There's our point a game that was an early season target (but we don't want that! ) Let's go for 1.5 points per game!
{Ed025's Note - really good performance tonight Leodis..there is light at the end of that tunnel after all mate..
1.) 04 Dec 2025 00:08:52
I admit I have been Farke out since Forest away because of his stubborn refusal to play the system many of us have been desperately wanting him to play because it was so bleeding obvious we have the players to perfectly execute this system. We saw that in all it's glory for the very first time for 90 plus minutes and what a fantastic performance it was.
So by hook or by crook Farke has managed to remain in situ and finally and probably not without stubbornly kicking and screaming in the process he has seen for himself what our players are capable of in a 3 5 2 system.
As long as he carries on playing this system then because the players still seem to have a good relationship with him then i'm prepared to forgive his tactical blunders from the past that have cost us many valuable points and give him credit for managing the game well tonight and therefore I think there's no reason to cause major disruption by replacing him anymore and hopefully a new wiser Farke has been born that can carry on being in charge of many more victories like tonight.
2.) 04 Dec 2025 00:12:15
Greed is good Leo.
3.) 04 Dec 2025 00:12:41
And congrats on your win also Ed. Starting to look good for the toffees.

When Football teams run into difficulties everyone scrambles for a reason however it is never quite that simple. If there was just one reason then the fix should be far less complicated however (as with Leeds) there are often many "problems" all requiring their own solution.
Whilst DF should take a lot of the blame I feel he was seriously let down by the club and in particular The recruiting team. Failure to get the targets and failure to land second choices with the required level of skill.
Whilst he definitely needs to ask himself some searching questions I fear the time for that may well have passed. I am a great believer in continuity at clubs it seems that his intransigence is having an adverse affect on every game. With his subs and selection faults causing us grief and his reluctance to change losing us points the man is committing occupational suicide. I therefore now feel that unless there is a major approach change, soon then the only future is a new manager. The who and the when? Well that will command a few column inches I bet.
PS If we do go down who would be a good candidate to bring us back up?
1.) 24 Nov 2025 18:51:05
I believe they are holding on to see who is around then when the January window opens the new manager can bring in who he wants. They will be working on who that will be now.
2.) 25 Nov 2025 07:39:44
2 good posts imo. Makes a refreshing change.
Your question Leodis is one that has been asked many times, and avoided by most, tho some have put forward suggestions. Those avoiding an answer probably doing so as ;
A) they don't have a credible answer
B) not willing to stick their necks out, which would get in the way of vitriol spouting.
The fact is, it's the most pertinent question right now. The only appointment of late that might have got a tune out of this squad is Dyche, and NOBODY wanted him at our club.
#bringbackbigsam.
3.) 25 Nov 2025 08:17:47
Farke would likely be out of a job still. Give him a year to get us back up.
17 Nov 2025 18:55:54
I read of our interest in Troy Parrot et al however if we do employ a new striker it will be wasted unless our style of play changes. Our ethos now seems to be Defend! Do not give a goal away and hope we can sneak one somehow.
1.) 18 Nov 2025 00:55:59
Alkmaar are talking about breaking their transfer record for a sale that currently stands at €22.5M (£19.9M) . Can we afford that much, and if not who do we sell to finance the deal?
2.) 18 Nov 2025 06:44:20
When we first looked at him, weren't we put off by a £10m price tag or something?
3.) 18 Nov 2025 13:17:20
We won't spend £30m on one player in Jan. That's our entire budget. What a signing it would have been in the summer though.
4.) 18 Nov 2025 19:26:55
I think it's €30M they're now reported to be looking for, but that's still £26.4M to us!
09 Nov 2025 16:08:03
At the risk of repeating myself. That man (BA) will get Daniel the sack. Now he is not even doing himself any favours. His modus operandi, before the season started, was make us hard to beat. That clearly is not happening any more.
24 Oct 2025 22:47:25
I know its a little bit old news now but I must say, having experienced it, I feel for all those Sheff Wed supporters. In the same breath I have to say, commiserations but also congratulations. It's not a nice place to be but with a little bit of luck it may well be the start of a new and exciting chapter in your story.
Your nemesis has gone. Stay positive. Support your team and through the dark days (and yes there will be dark, dark days) keep looking ahead.
1.) 24 Oct 2025 23:28:17
Respect to Wendy fans, it's not farking right
Slab head + fidget spinner =180 mill
A fundamental club to our leagues on turmoil
Hope he will be ok Wendys.
2.) 25 Oct 2025 04:45:24
Shame. Hope it works out. Def down though.
3.) 25 Oct 2025 10:45:13
As per my earlier post, Leodis, I totally agree! Got some very good Wendy mates, and really feel for them, having been there. That criminal now needs sorting out for nearly destroying a historic club!
12 Jan 2023 16:33:38
Personally I am still awaiting Red Bull?
08 Sep 2022 13:37:40
He sounds top notch but my only misgiving would be; if he is so good why not a starter for 11th placed Fiorentina. Surely they must see his exponential growth.
I hope you are right and he is a gem waiting to be found, we could do with another Raphina. Law of averages says that somewhere out there is some young lad, with it all, waiting to be discovered.
05 May 2022 10:01:22
It may be a bit Rocky when he is here?
14 Dec 2021 21:04:22
It so annoys me to read we are after a new striker when we have a 30 goal a season striker in the U23s that doesn't get played?
14 Aug 2021 16:06:56
A good thought but we are leaking in the middle not on the wing.
23 Nov 2025 20:19:05
Mny were actually saying similar about Marcelo Bielsa?
22 Nov 2025 15:59:07
Daniel. How about - Mark any unmarked player in space?
17 Nov 2025 11:34:03
I can picture one or two on here with bolts thro their necks but not you CA.
16 Nov 2025 19:11:27
We have been through this question a few times over the years. I remember, not so long ago, when the U21s were winning games regularily the clamour was for the young guns to be given their head. Well that didn't really happen and I must ask; where are all those World Beaters now? .
14 Nov 2025 09:18:24
I agree but easy to say. Question is, who would join a sinking ship? Especially when there are other ships begging them to join.
No, the key is in getting what we have to gel together. Don't rely on the cavalry, they may not come. It's the old adage - "you got us into this mess. "
