Leeds United have an excellent opportunity of making an immediate return to the Premier League this season. The Whites are now second in the Championship table, just one point behind league leaders Leicester City. However, regardless of whether they rise or fall, Daniel Farke must make important judgments about several Leeds loanees. Football Insider has studied the ten loan players now playing away from Elland Road, interviewing with club sources and appraising each star’s future prospects. Cody Drameh (22) Farke has been very clear about teenage defender Drameh, who joined Birmingham City on loan for the season last summer. Despite…

Leeds United captain Liam Cooper and former Whites captain Pablo Hernandez have reacted to Stuart Dallas’ announcement that he will be retiring from football. The Northern Irish international stated in a statement on Wednesday (10 April) that he would retire at the conclusion of the season, having last played for Leeds in April 2022. Dallas, who sought to return to activity over the last two years, has realized that a knee injury has caused irreversible damage, but he has received a lot of support from former and current teammates. Cooper wrote on X on Wednesday (10 April): “My best pal!”…
Paul Robinson is unsurprised that Tottenham are apparently interested in signing Leeds United youngster Ollie Pickles. Spurs and Newcastle United, both in the Premier League, are thought to be interested in the 16-year-old. While Pickles has yet to break into the first squad, Robinson believes it is now common for teams to take a chance on youthful talent. “The thing with clubs now, not just in this country but globally, is that the recruitment setup is bigger than it has ever been,” Robinson told MOT Leeds News when questioned about the Pickles rumours. “The scouting network and the professionals hired…
Premier League teams that exceed player spending limitations have been informed that they would continue to face ‘significant points sanctions’ in the future. According to reports published last week, plans are in the works to implement a “luxury tax” to replace points fines levied on Nottingham Forest and Everton this season. Forest are now appealing their four-point penalty, while Everton has been fined twice for breaking top-flight profitability and sustainability criteria, losing eight points in total. However, a Sky Sports “exclusive” now alleges that clubs that violate the Premier League’s financial rules should expect to face future point reductions. Top-flight…
Leeds United wasted the opportunity to climb to the top of the Championship on Tuesday night, after a goalless draw with Sunderland at Elland Road. Andy Hinchcliffe, a Sky Sports analyst, was furious after Leeds United were refused a penalty at Elland Road following a straightforward handball by Sunderland’s Luke O’Nien. The Whites had battled to break down a strong Sunderland team but thought they should have had the chance to win the match 15 minutes from time. A corner from the left caused problems for the Black Cats’ defence, with O’Nien appearing to handle the ball as Joe Rodon…
Nottingham Forest signed 13 players last summer, while three more joined the club during the January transfer window. The Reds have had limited success with loan acquisitions in the 2023/24 season. Some could argue that Forest have been genuinely terrible in the loan market this season. The club’s permanent recruitment structure is effective, but temporary acquisitions have been problematic. First, there was Andrey Santos, who arrived from Chelsea. Despite his promise as a wonderkid, Steve Cooper gave him only seven minutes in the Premier League, and the Blues recalled him in January to send him away. Forest are currently doing…
The Nottingham Forest Academy is one thing that frequently brings together the club’s ever-divergent fan base. Over the years, a lot of players have risen through the ranks, making Forest millions or becoming first-team stars. In some instances, both! This season is promising to be another great one for the Forest academy. Josh Powell spent preseason with the team at left-back, Joe Gardner earned his first-team debut in the FA Cup, and Ryan Yates is currently the club captain. It was always unclear how the academy would function without Gary Brazil. The hierarchy allowed the very popular figure to run…
Lucas Radebe had an excellent career at Leeds United. Radebe witnessed everything at Elland Road, from joining the club as a relative unknown to a Champions League semi-final and back down to the Championship. Radebe witnessed many ups and downs, as well as a fair share of managers in West Yorkshire. The Chief worked under six permanent managers at Leeds, as well as a few interim leaders, and in an interview with the Seaman Says Podcast, Radebe picked the best gaffer he has had at Leeds. The greatest manager Lucas Radebe had at Leeds Radebe talked about the best coach…
Following Leeds United’s 0-0 draw with Sunderland at Elland Road, Alan Brazil has told Patrick Bamford that he needs to regain his scoring touch if he wants to help the promotion push. Ally McCoist, meanwhile, maintained the promotion race was too close to call given the uneven results of those at the top, though he confessed he expects Ipswich to advance. With only one point separating the top three clubs following Leeds’ draw and Leicester’s loss to Millwall, Ipswich has the opportunity to go two points ahead if they beat Watford. Brazil stated live on talkSPORT [06:52]: “That was a…
Interim Following Tuesday night’s draw at Elland Road, Sunderland manager Mike Dodds heaped praise on Leeds United while also making a daring claim. Sunderland entered the midweek match in West Yorkshire having won only one of their previous ten games, but they took points off Leeds for the second time this season after a 0-0 draw at LS11. Dodds was also in temporary command of Sunderland when they faced Leeds at the Stadium of Light in December, where the Black Cats won 1-0 thanks to Jobe Bellingham’s late goal. Four months later, Leeds were denied a wonderful opportunity to score…
