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.

It strikes me that with talk of us returning with a higher bidthat even if we get JSL he may screw us with PSR and unless he knocks in 10-15 goals this season he may not be value for money? Looking at how DCL leaps and wins long balls what we do need is a quick partner for him to pick up the flick ons.
Half the time you have a one on one situation and the other half just the goalie to beat. Maybe Nmecha is that man or maybe James. I would suggest BA but he is more likely to stop, turn around and run into somebody?
1.) 28 Jan 2026 18:03:55
Love the BA analysis Leo.
Should be a rule that he's not allowed to touch the ball in our half as I get scared to death that he'll lose it Again.
2.) 28 Jan 2026 19:07:00
10-15 goals this season?
If he were to sign i'd be delighted if he got 5 plus!
There’s only 15 games left and guaranteed he won’t be starting straight away so 10-15 goals seems a bit far fetched.
3.) 28 Jan 2026 19:37:10
BA not sure I understand all the negative things about him works hard doesn’t stop takes players away allowing other to break, scoring and assists, side is better with him then with out, just saying that my opinion will not be liked by the police squad on here, ??♂️.
4.) 28 Jan 2026 23:15:53
Been saying that all season. Need pace up front.
5.) 29 Jan 2026 07:41:40
Oddly enough, BA got the fans' MOTM again vs Fudge. He was superb in the first half, and was effective in pressing and defensively in the second, which showed in how knackered he was by 65mins.
27 Jan 2026 11:02:43
With PSR being an issue, do we need another CB? If we have a potential 7 who could do the job, why do we need another. Yes it is always good to get cover in all positions but I feel in these tight pursestring times the money could be better spent elsewhere. After a few underwhelming displays in the middle Gruev could be upgraded with a more skillfull yet aggresive enforcer patrolling the centre.
On the wings I also think we have a problem, with question marks over Gnonto, James and Okafor.
It also seems to have gone quite on the schemer front (Buendia, Hamer et al) .
1.) 27 Jan 2026 11:34:25
Again Ruben Neves apparently available as out of contract in the summer.
Save money on JSL and get Neves or at least try!
For me JSL would be good for us but that kind of money can bring in 3 signings we need.
As you rightly say, off load some others,
What’s going on with Tanaka? Gnonto? Piroe?
Seems like another transfer window of sleep walking into failure again when the team needs help and strengthening in key areas.
2.) 27 Jan 2026 14:08:15
I believe that we are doing a fair amount of pre work for contracts in the summer. we seem to have targeted a few with contracts expiring this year in the hope we can get them for lower fees (as opposed to their clubs letting them leave on a free) but it has been quite frustrating with clubs demanding silly money or just happy for their players contracts to run down.
I certainly don't see any sleep walking (although in Paraags case that might be good anyway since he does deals in his sleep) but rather prudence seems to be the approach.
07 Jan 2026 23:52:33
No way was that a 16th vs 6th game.
07 Jan 2026 23:50:49
Match of the Season? (so far)
04 Jan 2026 20:44:03
IF we don't buy anyone this window then it's not the end of the world however if we can pick up a few "bargains" the I would not say no to a, creative, No10 with an eye for a killer pass.
A winger with either dazzling feet or blistering pace (or both) . Lastly a partner for DCL who can complement/ finish off DCLs chances.
PS should have put that on my Santa list!
1.) 05 Jan 2026 06:39:14
I think it is the end of the world as we know it.
If everybody else strengthens and we don’t, who’s the fool.
As in summer. It’s obvious what we need.
Not so much starters ( except gk ) but quality back up.
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.
26 Jan 2026 11:31:22
Clarke? Whittaker? Armstrong? 15-20 mill?
My choice would be Whittaker.
15 Jan 2026 10:07:55
I would have swapped him for Ashley Barnes (still would)
30 Dec 2025 21:07:58
Left his leg in? eh ed.
{Ed025's Note - it was a play for the ball Leodis, Rondon should have been well away if he hadn,t dallied mate..
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?
