Former Leeds United midfielder David Prutton arguably put it up well when asked about Joe Gelhardt’s slow growth at Elland Road in 2023. Gelhardt, once the emerging star of Leeds and the buzz of West Yorkshire, struggled to build on his breakout season under Jesse Marsch, with a loan spell at Sunderland yielding only three goals in 18 Championship outings. Two years later, with Joe Gelhardt’s future more uncertain than ever, Prutton’s warnings seem all the more relevant. He stated that the former Wigan Athletic prospect was under pressure to turn ‘that potential into positive impacts on the pitch’. Gelhardt’s…

Nottingham Forest’s outstanding season will already have a favorable influence on the balance sheet for the next year. Whatever happens between now and the conclusion of the season, Nottingham Forest has already had a memorable Premier League season. Twice European Cup winners and one of English football’s most illustrious clubs, the Forest story has mostly been one of woe, struggle, and heartache during the last 30 years. But Nottingham Forest in 2025 is a completely different machine, one that has been defying expectations since the start of the season and shows no signs of slowing down in its pursuit of…
Although Nottingham Forest prefers a calmer transfer season in January, the club has already been connected with a number of players. Forest’s strategy is to expand on Nuno Espirito Santo’s existing resources. So far in 2024/25, the Reds have utilized only 23 players, and it appears that Forest’s head coach prefers to operate with a simplified group. Evangelos Marinakis would love to sign a new forward. Forest have been linked with Yoane Wissa, with the Reds’ initial offer rejected by Brentford and a deal looking unlikely this month. Igor Jesus has also been linked with a move to Forest. The…
Alex Lowry has issued an emotional message to Rangers fans after confirming his move to Wycombe Wanderers. The 21-year-old joined the League One club on Tuesday (January 21), after failing to play a single Scottish Premiership game this season. With the midfielder’s contract scheduled to end in the summer [The Scottish Sun], the Gers have decided to sell the academy product, who has now sent an emotional parting message on Instagram (January 21). He stated, “After 14 years at a place I called home, it’s time to move on. I’d want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in…
As Leeds United continues to dream of escaping the Championship, two players who were relegated at Elland Road are edging closer to the Champions League. In retrospect, questions about Victor Orta’s recruitment should have focused on fit rather than talent. Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, Robin Koch, Rasmus Kristensen, and others are all excellent players. Whether they were Premier League players, well, that is another debate entirely. Perhaps, with Leeds United trying to adapt to life post-Marcelo Bielsa, the likes of Kristensen were virtually set up to fail. Arriving in the midst of the lackluster Jesse Marsch period just as things…
Leon Balogun has retaliated against Rangers fans for their use of language at Ibrox, following persistent criticism of Cyriel Dessers. The 30-year-old striker, who is highly connected with a move this summer, has been pursued by the supporters since his arrival, not for his attitude, but for his lack of skill on the field. Despite scoring 22 goals in his first season, the Ibrox crowd and the media are condemning the forward, who may soon leave Scotland. Balogun stated on the Counter Attack podcast [20 January]: “We’ve had that here in the past when a player comes on and is…
Paul Robinson has backed Josuha Guilavogui to stand up in Pascal Struijk’s absence following a second devastating injury setback at Leeds United. Daniel Farke has announced that the Dutch centre-back might be out for up to three months due to a new hamstring injury. He was unable to play Sheffield Wednesday in his last outing at Elland Road. In his absence, Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu linked up, like they did last season, but the genuine answer could be 34-year-old Guilavogui, who played in defence against Harrogate Town in the FA Cup. Robinson told MOT Leeds News: “It’s a huge…
The need for a centre-back at Leeds United has increased in recent days, and Daniel Farke’s side may have just been given first dibs on a £10 million Premier League player. Due to Pascal Struijk’s injury, Ethan Ampadu has been forced to play in the centre of the defence. Struijk could be out until early February but fresh scans are due this week and it might be he is out injured longer. Max Wober, on the other hand, is still dealing with a knee injury, and James Debayo has only played once in senior football. The Leeds manager sees Josuha…
During the summer transfer window, Nottingham Forest signed Alex Moreno on loan from Aston Villa, with the agreement set to last until the end of the season. Moreno was a target for Forest in the summer of 2022. On that time, he chose to stay at Real Betis before moving for Aston Villa six months later, dealing the Reds a blow. Last summer, however, with Forest more established in the Premier League, Moreno was delighted to join the club and has since become a fan favourite. When he first joined the club, he was immediately assigned to the left-back position.…
