The Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

Summerville scores twice and the transfer rumours are out again for him leaving in January.... 🤣

Unfortunately, for him, only Bournemouth, Bumley and Everton are in for him....

Hopefully he won't leave but if he did I hope he gets relegated with Bournemouth as we pass him going up.... with Sinesterra and Adams getting relegated as well!! 😜🤣

Bournemouth fans must be really happy with those 2 getting paid a fortune without kicking a ball in anger.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Heard (BS) rumours that Jaidon Anthony didn't want to come to us as part of the loan swap deal.... I'm sure that's people just stirring the pot.

If he didn't want to come then he didn't have to.... he's got a contract that both him and Bournemouth signed to be at the club.

He could have just stayed there if he wanted to.... he wasn't going to be threatened by them to leave!

I'm sure a loyalty sweetener figure was paid by Bournemouth and a signing on fee was paid by us to soften the deal....

good write up on Sinisterra & Anthony taken from Fb(LUFC fan zone)

Luis Sinisterra’s talent as a footballer is undoubted, but what is doubted is his capability to play a full, gruelling, 46 game Championship campaign.

After the dramatic turn of events last night it’s now impossible to say, but as he started less than a third of Leeds’ Premier League games last season because of injury, I doubt it.

The manor of Sinisterra’s departure has somewhat overshadowed the arrival of Jaidon Anthony, who although might be an unknown quantity to most Leeds fans, has started 2 out of Bournemouth’s 3 opening Premier League fixtures.

Furthermore, the 23 year old started 38 games in Bournemouth’s promotion from the Championship the season before last, scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists (featuring in every game that campaign).

Now the dust has settled, Anthony will be a valuable player for Leeds this season, and more importantly a player who wants to be at Elland Road for the Championship campaign.

This Jaidon Anthony does look good.... albeit on his YouTube video that his agent probably posted! 🙈

He's VERY right footed from the left wing and CONSTANTLY cutting inside....

He'll need to be a hard worker though to get back and cover Shacks at LB!!

Won't Gnonto want to play on the left though....?

Depth Chart time now the dust is settling:

Piroe

I'm sure I've missed someone, but that's a 29 man setup and well balanced. We may want a little more quality but we have cover everywhere.

Had a strange feeling that one of Sinesterra or Gnonto would leave.

Not surprised it turned out to be Sinesterra, the clauses in his contract & threat of legal action seem to have forced the transfer.

Yes a very good player and as a player we'll miss his skill and creativity.

Felt he was holding back against Salford (hardly involved, bar his chance & shot against the post).

In general fairly happy with the window.

The number 10 position has not been filled (perhaps Jimmy will take that one), and by now we're used not selecting a natural LB.

We'll have to wait & see how good the last 3 signings will turn out to be.

At least we've got plenty of options on both wings.

Then there's Ampadu (much better than I expected) and the talented young Gray + the 2 new signings for midfield. The 2 players from Spurs add pace, heigth and experience and should be more than good enough at this level.

From the departed lot, from a footballing point I rated Adams, Harrison & SInesterra.

They decided & wanted something else (more money), not surprising really. There's little to no loyalty left in football.

Just look at how many players simply follow the money to the sandbox, and not only those looking for a final paycheck.

In part it also demonstrates what a bunch of egocentric/spineless group of players we had. No wonder they got us relegated, didn't worry them one bit because they knew they had a way out.

Back to the football now.

Out of all the deals this window this one is the one that has made my blood boil, it makes least sense! Why the loan... Why the buy clause? Absolutely disgraceful from the club and whoever sanctioned it., is not like we've got a stack of cash for him and We're owed an explanation!

And who on Earth is Jaidon Anthony?

I'm not sure we've had the better of the last two days.

Deal sheet is in. This could still go through but still in the balance - Bournemouth have till 12:00 but the deal sheet means they, us and the player have agreed.

I guess I'll find out tomorrow cos it's bedtime.

Not sure if Swansea have got Gyabi?

I know the Valenciennes offer and the Fleetwood loan fell through but no word either way on Swans late offer.....

Just back from a long day out.....

still waiting for the final bell to ring at 11:00 but I fear that Sinisterra is still at risk of leaving us - even rumours of legal bits giving Bournemouth an extension to get it finished if required.... not happy that a loan release has emerged after all we were led to believe.

Gnonto staying, Summerville staying, Meslier staying - all good.

Slightly disappointed LB and No10 not nailed - looking a bit too late for the likes of Chair or O'Riley, but the fat lady ain't sung yet

Taylor Harwood Bellis gone to Soton on loan.... what a partnership him and Roden would have been.

And they got LB Ryan Manning on a free.... 🤬

Sinisterra now supposed to be having a medical at Bournemouth! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Sini is rumoured to have told fans that he is not leaving ..

Can we still get players on loan after today - eg, Buenanotte?

Everton and Leeds have agreed a 38.5m fee with Gnonto.... that fee has gone up a lot!

Fkn take it if he really wants to go and get a decent no10 and LB in....

I believe everything that LeedsNewsNow says....

Drameh away to Brum - that's the end of his time at Leeds

Kamara confirmed on O/S

Ilia Gruev CONFIRMED - welcome Ilia!

On the offy site - good video, he seems intelligent, well spoken and very keen.

Drameh close to Birmingham move

Disappointed to see Sam going to Boro. Thought he could have done a job for us, certainly as back-up, if not as a starter. One of our best set-piece takers, strong and intelligent.

Greenwood rumoured to be going on loan to Boro and Joffy to Ipswich on loan ..

Looks like Spence signed a few hours ago. Sorry if somebody has already posted this. Just seen his photos on the official site.

How are we going with the Ao Tanaka signing from Dusseldorf? We should a.so bring in Shinta Appelkemp with him to help him settle.

Cannot see anyone willing to pay close to what Rutter cost us so hard to see him leaving. If management think there is a decent player in there somewhere, we are best off keeping him.

Nadiem Arimi apparently jetting into the UK as we speak having had another change of heart...... sounds like a nutcase we need to avoid TBH

Djed Spence would be ace. Charlie Taylor is surely still an option as is Luke Thomas at Foxes and Josh Tymon at Stoke - I'm certain at least 1 FB will arrive.

Paintsil apparently still wrangling with Genk over a loyalty bonus - not sure we need another winger unless Gnonto or Sini are heading out still - one to watch.

Kamara still in limbo - not sure what's going on there at all

Tanaka sounds leftfield, but has a decent CV

Seems there is interest in Djed Spence and Ao Tanake.

Definitely need at least one fullback (ideally 2) and another midfielder (again 2 would be good to cover for injury, as I do not think Gyabi and Bate are at a good enough level)

Regarding Paintsil, after our initial bid and counteroffer from Genk, apparently we've not taken things any further.

We're probably looking elsewhere, a good thing we don't budge from what we consider to be a fair offer.

I see that JamesMilner nearly signed for us, but had already agreed to join BHA before the 49ers showed an interest

Also whatever happened to the Buonanotte (AM) Brighton loan

Nadiem Arimi has turned us down. He was only ever going to come if there were no better offers from just about anywhere and today he's said he just doesn't fancy the second tier. He's playing tomorrow for Bayer

Issues emerging with Genk over Paintsil too - apparently they've rejected our offer even though the player is keen - do we get our plums twisted or walk away?

sorry folks

Piroe confirmed on OS😁😁😁😁

If we do get Piroe and Amri I think we have a good chance of going straight back up.

The more time goes by the better the team will be able to adopt Farke's tactics. I think he has been an excellent appointment allround. Doesn't matter who we sign if we don't have the right manager.

latest rumour-we are interested in Nadiem Amiri,5 caps for Germany,attacking midfielder.

..

footballleagueworld.co.uk

Leeds United are interested in Bayer Leverkusen's Nadiem Amiri.

Come on 49er's and Farke, go get Humburg Sv midfielder Laszlo Benes. The guy is on fire this season in the second division in German. 3 games, 4 goals and 2 assists all from midfield. He is what we need right now and is a perfect age and price. 5M plus add on and he would be ours.

Fooking hell if we got Piroe and Joseph Paintsil, along with the argie boy from Brighton I would poop my pants. I think Camara has regressed since joining Rangers so not so sure about him, but would addd depth to the midfield 😍

Leeds United set for £20m+ triple transfer as 49ers let cash fly (motleedsnews.com)

Facundo Buonanotte from Brighton could be joining Leeds on loan this season

'Talks already started' - Brighton's £10m ace close to shock Leeds United move | SussexWorld (sussexexpress.co.uk)

Anybody who can send a message to our owner via social media. Please send them the suggestion of trying to sign Celtic's midfielder Matt O'Riley, Humbugged Sv midfielder Laszlo Benes, Fortuna Dusseldorf's midfielder Shinta Appelkamp.

All would instantly helps us and can play as ei5her a 10 or a box to box midfielder.

I do not do social media so help required.

Eleven days to go.

Realistic expectations?

Bare minimum?

Out - no more than Costa

In - cf, no.10, dcm, lb

But only if better than we already have.

Not interested in numbers just to bulk the squad out.

Any or all of Antonio, Sargent, klich, Charlie T will do for me.

What's everybody else expecting?

Adam's gone for 20 plus million.69ers need to get the cheque book out now and sign a striker and a number 10,it's obvious that we need creativity and a number 9 who knows where the net is,it's going to be the difference between a midtable finish or automatic promotion,if the rest of the player stay(dick Gnonto will probably leave) we are fairly strong in every other position except no. 9 & no.10.

we are being linked to Josh Sargent from Norwich,I'd prefer Piroe and will probably cost around the same ..

My only hope in all this fiasco is that the likes of Everton & Bournemoht fck up badly this season and get relegated as we pass them en route to the Premiership. I would take back Jack as he is definately worth it, if Gnonto and Adams think that playing for low to mid table mediocre teams is the way forward then they can sod off!

It looks like we've lost out on Tom Cannon to loan at Preston.... expect the 69ers to make a cheap bid for his strike partner, Bobby Ball, soon 🤔😲😜🙈

Does anyone know who this mystery number 9 is that we are meant to be signing?

Leeds now make offer for player in position Daniel Farke wants as a priority (leedsunited.news)

Is Leo on his way to Salerintina-Again

Leeds United defender set for move to Italy this week - The72

roumer willy dumped his agent and has told Leeds he will stay

Harrison gone Everton bound

Its not the best start to the season---as Elton says--Things can only get better---😢

If we get Nat Philips that would help immensly--then all we have to do is fecking score lol😶

see the guy from pool we are looking at was not in the squad today

What a great stat I've just thought of which obviously our previous, and current (?) management don't fkn look at....

Out of all the players going from our squad, nobody seems to be coming in for our defence!!

Meslier, Ayling, Coops (Saudi doesn't fkn count), Strukij and Firpo don't seem to be getting too many phone calls to entice them even to the likes of the crap Premier teams for experience.... or even to Championship clubs for that matter!

Fkn wonder fkn why the fk that is.... fkn management, look at the fkn stats that other fkn clubs fkn look at....

Jack Harrison having a medical at Everton now with a view to going on loan!!

The 69ers need to have an open Q&A with the fans to at least appease us and EXPLAIN what their actual plan is.... we are shareholders of some kind by purely turning up to watch the dross offered over the last 2 seasons with various managers.

They didn't seem to mind us making the HIGHEST EVER attendance (35000+) in the Carabou Cup for that stage of round v the mighty Shrewsbury.... who we'll be playing twice a season in the league soon!

WTF is happening!?

click bait rumours

Real Madrid interested in Meslier

AC Milan and Leverkusen want Sini

we want 30 million for Gnonto

Kamara, Phillips & Harwood-Bellis still on our radar

I don't see any links to Strikers or number 10's which is obvious that we need ..
