The Winter 2023/24 Transfer Thread

Thank you TC, we now have a thread to enliven this board

Can't watch the game until about 11pm tonight as the boy got a game.... got it taped and watch in full when home as if live. Fkn hate it when other fans etc will be winding me up with different scores etc!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

.... Soopa, you're a tw** but a Leeds tw** so love you.... I was asked to give you some abuse! 👍❤️🙈🤣👍⚽

Enjoy the game all....

Soopa - Time to start the Summer 2024 Transfer Thread

Shackleton in talks for a new contract, good to see.

I didn't know Connor Roberts was named in the Championship team of the year last season.... that means he's the best RB in the league!

He says he also likes a scrap which means he will suit us and he brings assists and goals to his game.... sounds ideal and can't work out why Bumley got rid of him for the standard they are at near the bottom of the Prem. They must have brought in a worldbeater to replace him to get away from relegation! You'd have thought he'd been good enough and bought in a creative playmaker or goalscorer instead to get extra points....

He apparently gets on great with Rodon, Ampadu and James in the Welsh connection so should fit in seemlessly.... well done Farke.

It means Archie can be rested and rotated in his proper position to give us competition....

Poveda gone out on loan

Connor Roberts coming in

Povenda looks like to leave tonight

Two championships clubs bidding to sign him

we are rumoured to be back in for Conor Robert's from Bumley

From what I have heard Everton winding us up over Godfrey. No intention of letting him leave on a loan,

Looks like no-one in then

With Gnonto and Cresswell committing to LUFC this season, we just need someone who can play RB and LB and we really need a No10 like Pablo

Hjelde to Blunderland done deal.

Coops to Blackburn on loan; next on cards

With Gnonto and Cresswell commiting to LUFC the only need is a fullback but I would love another No.10 too

Hjelde to Sunderland for £1-£1.5 million

Why are there transfer windows if a player that signs won't be ready for 2/3 months?

It must be the same for EVERY club then?

No point anyone signing for any team if they are going to take that amount of time to integrate into a team?

A team needs to keep building and sign when they are on the rise to keep momentum .... if they only signed when clubs were struggling then that club is going to take a further 2 months to stabilise if it takes players that long to settle and integrate.

Why employ scouts and pay them a fortune if they don't think they can integrate into our system within a couple of weeks.... decent players are intelligent and should be able to fit into different systems.

I'm not saying to buy superstars on extortionate wages to unsettle the rest of the squad. I stated that I wanted players of a similar ilk to be able to come off the bench seemlessly when players suffer from injuries, suspension and loss of form!

Even Farke said he's open to improving the squad in a couple of positions.... like I've said.

I've never known fans not wanting to sign players who could improve our squad when the manager wants some if we have the money....

Sorry Smurf and disagree....

We WILL have injuries, suspensions and just loss of form.... players need to be able to come straight in and improve /stabilise the squad. We can't have players come in who will weaken the starting X1....

We've already had to push Ampadu back to CB as we have no cover for Strujik. Coops has proved this by getting injured every time he plays a game....

Having a squad with players like Darlow, Gnonto, Anthony, Piroe, Byram etc on the bench is what we need to rotate as we play 8 more games than the Prem teams.... we can also build for the Prem with players who can come in now.

Just because we've had some crap/dodgy signings doesn't mean that will always happen....

We need our squad to be stronger than our rivals. Ipswich, for instance, will struggle when injuries, suspension and loss of form hit them as they'll only have youngsters to come in....

We don't have to buy. We aren't going to improve the attack, we aren't going to imorove the midfield, we aren't going to improve central defence, we aren't going to improve the keeper position. The longer this team has played together, the more cohesive it has played. The worst thing our club could do is spend £15m on a player who spends the next six months embedding and not achieving in place of a settled squad member. Spending big would be a massive error and we've been here before with Asprilla, Augustin, McKinney, Roberts etc.

Here's the negative spin for the morning....

As much as I love the way the 69ers are hoping to take us forward, we HAVE to buy in this transfer window.

We're 5pts behind automatic and no team can guarantee going up in the playoffs.

I haven't got a clue on what we're allowed to do FFP wise but if we spent 30m on 3 players, this would surely get us promoted to gain the 100s of mill in the Prem?

If we didn't go up this season then we'd lose Meslier, Rodon, Strukij, Firpo, Ampadu, Summerville, Rutter, Gnonto and have to start again.... maybe Gray as well if big bucks are offered. James will want another crack at the Prem as well after his form....

I'm not looking forward to Ayling, Coops, Kamara, Gruev, Shacks, Byram, Bamford as our mainstay next season....

Surely they haven't bought us to be a Championship club!?

Farke and 69ers out.... Hoddle and Bielsa in

Gnonto rumoured to be going to Wet Spam.possibly with Ben Johnson coming the other way.

Benson from Burnley rumoured to come in on loan

Matteo Joseph signs new contract til 2028

Lewis Bate rumoured to be going to MK Don's on loan

Tanganga would have been perfect for us from Spurs on loan but gone to the massive Millscum... quality CB who can cover RB!!

Cresswell would have been perfect as well as LB on loan til end of the season....

If we can't compete with paying transfer fees then surely we have to get quality loans in positions we need PROPERLY filling.... we won't be promoted with just players who can cover for others

New FB might be Ben Johnson from West Ham - 6 months left on his deal, Hammers want some sort of loan fee to let him go now.

23 years old

Bryan Gil is apparently being let go by Spurs for only 7m!

Yes, he's a bit lightweight but he's a PROPER no10, a playmaker in the Pablo mould and got unbelievable potential....

He'll probably go back to Spain but 7m is fkn cheap and worth asking Pablo to try and persuade him....

Coops and Firpo fkn injured AGAIN!!

Whatever your thoughts on them being still with us or not, they are too fkn injury prone.... they last one, maybe 2, games and are out again!

Off the top of my head Coops will be on 30k and Firpo 40/50k pw.... I can't understand how Cresswell isn't ahead of Coops in the pecking order when he is also our future.

Coops needs to get a role on our coaching staff and we just need to get Firpo off the wage bill before he becomes our next Helder Costa....

🤬🤬🤬🤬

PSG rumoured to be interested in signing Diego Llorente.

we are meant to be looking at Conor Roberts(Burnley), Nico William's (forest) & Ben Johnson (west ham) for loans for LB/RB

Blackburn might bid for Charlie Cresswell

Callum O Hare out of contract in the summer,4 million would probably get it done,number 10 with goals and assists in him. get it done Leeds

Bill having his medical for a loan move to Boro.

Pity the club's loyal & fantastic servant couldn't get to say his farewells at ER.

Hopefully the club will do the right thing for him soon enough.

With Luke going, surely we must be close to signing a full-back or 2. Then again Farke says we've got plenty of cover🤣 for those positions.

Kris Moore going to Aberdeen on loan and Gyabi wanted by Plymouth.

A young lad I never heard off (Ronnie McGrath) has joined a club in the states.

Koch gone for free !!!

Connor Robert's on loan from Burnley doing the rounds on clickbait.another RB

Also rumours that we might sign Rodon permanently in January

Strange decision as WE cut Spence's loan short. So we must have a better RB lined up and hopefully a LB and proper No10

must be something happened behind the scenes with Spence .we paid a loan fee foe him I think,hopefully we have a replacement lined up

FFS that's a shock and WE sent him back!

Ayling is just past it and going to Boro?

Gray and Shacks are only COVER for RB and not good enough defensively....

Byram is getting injured more and more....

Firpo is CONSTANTLY injured and we can't rely on him just because he had ONE good game against a crap Brum team....

We've got no options in both full back positions now so we MUST have a loan/transfer lined up for BOTH!

Seems to me we always make a Drameh out of a crisis....

Djed Ex-Spence - GONE

we are interested in Andrey Santos from Chelsea on loan 19 y.o. dcm with 1 cap for Brazil

Question for the board.

Would you sell Cooper in January for between 500k to 2m or let him go on a free in June?

Do allow Cresswell to leave on loan or except one of the rumoured offers from Blackburn, Southampton, Ipswich, Hull, Crystal Palace and Everton?

PSG rumoured to be interested in Strujic according to click bait

Sell Gnonto for 15m and get Liam Millar, who tore us apart today, on loan or for a cheap fee.... if he's on loan to Preston, surely he'd come to us!?

Buy a DECENT LB for 10m and a creative playmaker for 5m (Amiri 🙈🤣) and we'd only spend a relatively small amount....

Current 4th place in the table want Cresswell.

Current 5th place in the table want Gelthardt

Current 7th and 13th in the table want Greenwood.

Yet none of these players have been given real game over past 2 seasons and are young enough that good loan time is needs for then to continue to develop. What will we do?

The quality LeedsNewsNow has linked us to a January loan move for the Liverpool RB (with potential), Conor Bradley.... WTF!?

We have, in my order, Spence, Byram, Gray, Ayling and Shacks.... we've needed a fkn LB for 5yrs and Spence and Byram are more than good enough in the Championship at RB !!

Rumour that Aaronson might cut short his loan and come back to us in January. He cites lack of playing time, allegedly.

Let's hope he doesn't get to make the decision and, if he does return, pray he doesn't get any more minutes with us than he's getting at the moment!

Added a note that there are more rumblings we could get some form of cash plus Rodon for Gnonto.....

Wondering if the club have approached Skubala and asked him to try and get McGurk, Allan, Gyabi and Bates to his new club for first team loan game time as all four could help his current team.

Does anyone know anything about Szmodics from Blackburn? He's got 14 goals this season from attacking midfield....

Is he good enough for our squad? At 28 we'd probably get him for 5-10m. He's only just signed a new contract but that means fk all these days....

We've got them on Saturday so hope he's fkn crap....

Here are the important things for us to do in January transfer window.

1. Tie Lewis Bates and Gyabi to a long deals and get a league 1 loan for 12 months. Preferably with a team that has a high chance of promotion to the Championship.

2. Get Gelthardt a loan in Scotland's Pemier league where he plays every game.

3. Get Hjelde, Cresswell loans for playing time.

4. Get Klaesson game time somewhere as he has just as much of a skill set as Meslier but just had no game time.

5. Get McGurk and Charlie Allen loan for 6 month in League 2 and tie them to longer deals. Both will be players who become Pemier league players but will take then another 2 or so years.

6. Get Joseph playing time either 10 minutes every game for us or 90 minuted a week in League 1.

Leeds United accept British transfer record from Man City for homegrown teen sensation

Finlay Gorman will conclude a transfer from Leeds United to Manchester City in the near future after the 15-year-old caught the eye with his performances

England captain in ten years time...or on loan at Shrewsbury

Liverpool after Archie in January, allegedly.

So it seems that once more Little Willy wants out of the club, apparently due to lack of game time, Lazio hovering around, as are Everton. £20 million+ fee being asked by the club.

To be honest, he hasn't had any impact at all from the bench and seems to spend more time moaning about decisions against him rather than getting his head down and producing the goods.

Get rid and move on.

Apparently Farke has told Real Madrid, it would cost €172m for Rutter. Nice 👌

Well done Soopa.... bit early isn't it? 🤬😜🤔😲🙈

What fkn idiot would have any transfer rumours yet!?
