The summer transfer window opens for all clubs in England on June 16, although most business is expected to be conducted from July onwards. Leeds own PSR position is likely to dictate how much the club have to spend this summer, which may be less than the figures being currently reported in excess of 100 million pounds.
Maybe I should keep a team sheet 'available' for the most ridiculous players linked to us that the wonderful press is suggesting we are chasing. 🤣
So an early runner is Mr Vardy being offered, reports the Football League World media magazine, who coincidently were also responsible for my prediction league placing as I often used their form guide. 😳
Suspect the Championship 2024/25 mascot characters of Captain Canary Norwich City, Pompeys Nelson & Watfords Harry the Hornet stand a better chance signing for us than Vardy, imo, but Leicester Citys mascot Filbert Fox stalling on his contract in the hope of retaining a PL club are rumoured as Leicester implode & need to trim their wage bill.
Gotta admit their keeper Mads Hermansen is decent 'tho, but again a tad young maybe for what our club may require currently.
For me, I will believe it when I see it announced by the club regarding arrivals & departures.
Just saying

MT I thought you were about to disclose that the pope is a Leeds fan
🤣🤣
Well, he was born in Chicago, Illinois so would be aware of his local vibrant sports scene with the legendary Michael Jordan, the basketball icon who led the Chicago Bulls to 6 NBA championships between '84 & '98.
So maybe Pope 'Leo' Prevost just might have a soft spot for the Chicago Fire having lived in Chicago.
My younger brother told me that Jordan utilised his movement by GOATA techniques which improve your movement mechanics rather than just building strength.
GOATA stands for 'Greatest Of All Time Actions' founded by Jose Boesch that focuses optimizing human movement & performance.
Jordans many Goata movement patterns helped keep him durable too, done by keeping your feet narrow & pointing your feet straight ahead & be light on your heels.
The Goata ultimate goal is to recalibrate the body to move in a more natural & efficient way.
Obviously useful for keepers, particularly taller ones to increase their spring gait, mainly. But it is also used by both regular people & pro athletes to address pain, improve performance & more importantly into preventing injuries. 👍
🤣Great post Oz, its good to laugh mate.👌
Took my mind off a rather bumpy sea crossing on the water bus taxi.🤢
Regarding young Greek players.
Stefanos Tzimas is the perfect striker in any system. Done well in Germany while on loan from Brighton this season in getting games under his belt.
Blessed with great movement & pace, being tall hes good in the air & possesses the ability to hold the ball up as a target man, also gets onto crosses in the box so defo suits Farkes systems & being young will be keen to impress.
We need a different style of striker now, not just a spare like for like type but a game changer type, imo.
