    Good morning everyone. I’m sick of the clickbait nonsense about signings, so I’ve completely stopped looking. The only ones I check now are Leeds or Fabrizio Romano posting on X that they’ve signed someone. Until then, I’m not interested… apart from commenting on this morning’s breakfast debate of course.

    To be fair, I can’t see Ramazani going anywhere. I think he needs a chance in the Premier League. When he first started for us last year, he looked like a really good signing, but then got injured and never had a proper chance since.

    El Khannouss would be great if signed, but I’m not holding my breath as the other teams are circling around him.

    FFS - Talk Sport reporting Calvert Lewin is on his way to Thorpe Arch for medical..

    Slight difference in approach and contract situation between Leeds when last in the premier league and Southampton. So far this week Southampton have told Everton that if they want Tyler Dibling they will need to pay £50m they have also told any club including Leeds (Apparently) that Mateo Fernandez is valued at £40m. In other words toughing it out and not giving players away or release clauses

    1. How the hell is he going to get through a medical?
    2. If true, it better be a pay-as-you-play deal.

    Oh dear.. Maybe we should consider swapping out the injured striker for someone who might just be even more prone to injuries? Oh wait.....

    If he’s in tip-top shape and stays injury free, he’s definitely a great striker, but it does feel a bit desperate, doesn’t it?

    As long as DCL is there to replace Joseph, that's fine. His wages will be through the roof, but he's a freebee....

    So does Calvert-Lewin become our starter and Piroe as back up ahead of Nmecha? I would have Piroe as starter and let this lad have a chance of proving he can do it. DCL should be on a pay as you play deal and maybe based upon goals scored. Massive, massive gamble and if you say well Leeds are actually bringing in 2 strikers that would make Piroe 3rd choice replacing Joseph .??

    Also said he’d turned down Sunderland, who appear to be following the model of Florist.

    Who ever said we had a list? I believe that's another one Matt started. Anyway we just need to suck it up and support him when he pulls on the jersey. Farke must see something in him in fairness. I don't think he'd accept any old rubbish or I hope not

    Text a mate earlier, I'd rather Sargeant than him, what's he offer Bamford doesn't. The other teams we are going to be challenging down the bottom with must be pissing themselves laughing
