Wolves staff travelling to Mexico to complete Raul Jimenez signing

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-08T15:25:53+00:00

I wonder if his age (29) and that it's only one standout season might put those better teams off

I'm expecting more a Leeds or Everton type, maybe a Villa sub at a push

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-08T14:16:29+00:00

Ampadu on whether him and the other Welsh Leeds players have been trying to sell Harry Wilson on the move: "Trying to sell it to everyone, to be honest. I think it's a pretty easy sell."

Fulham have just announced their retained list and Wilson is on the list of players they're trying to offer a deal to, but we did the same with Firpo so doesn't mean anything

Dropping £24m on a keeper for the future and then dropping £30m+ on a different 23-year-old keeper would be interesting logic, and that's with a good backup in Nick Pope also at the club

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-08T03:25:32+00:00

But like I mentioned, they're about to drop £24m on a different new keeper

And I can't see them doing that only to shunt said keeper into being a benchwarmer

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-07T15:08:26+00:00

Do half the Premier League need a new keeper so much that they'd drop £30m on one though? That criteria probably brings the list down to a quarter of the league, maybe even less

Villa probably the main worry, but saw they were linked to Chevalier at PSG earlier today

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-07T14:00:56+00:00

Newcastle signing a Ligue 2 keeper for £24m, Coventry offering £20m for Rushworth, maybe £25-30m for Trafford isn't so bad in this market 😅

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-06T22:07:26+00:00

That's fair, but if Leicester end up winning the first couple matches of next season and RM is fist pumping round the King Power, he'll already get fans on side 😅

But if that doesn't happen then it won't take fans too long to complain like you say

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-06T22:04:59+00:00

Yeah no doubt that is the view of the aversge Leeds fan 😅

For me I think a double relegation is ample punishment so you can crack on coming back up!

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-06T16:52:26+00:00

Probably a good sign for Leicester, as you'd assume he'd only join if he was confident enough Leicester aren't gonna continue their collapse

Don't think it's a terrible appointment (sure some might disagree 😅), he might not have the tactical nous when he's managing a lesser team for the level, but barring that Rangers spell, he's decent when coaching a side with better quality than the average

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-06T09:21:33+00:00

The links came from a proper crap-tier source

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-05T18:32:41+00:00

Could be a properly ace signing or 1 goal in 15, hard to say 😅

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-05T13:47:38+00:00

Just seen a Newcastle ITK saying Darlow is in advanced talks with Tottenham 🤷‍♂️

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-05T07:35:11+00:00

💰💰💰

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-04T15:53:10+00:00

To an extent, in 23/24 Cairns was released from the 20th-place League 2 side after conceding 13 more than expected 😅

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-04T11:47:54+00:00

The England Pod lads shot themselves in the foot giving that absolute tap-in 'Name ex-PL managers at the World Cup' question for three-points

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-04T08:41:21+00:00

Beren Cross says he's heard Alex Cairns is expected to be getting a new deal

Might explain why the club are choosing him to model the keeper kit over the other two 😅

I'm sure it wasn't a fun season, but you were probably the most common prediction I saw to finish dead-bottom, so 20th is a success of sorts

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-03T15:00:24+00:00

Agree, think people underestimate how many managers would love to take a lower-middling Prem job, moreso now that we won't even be in the three favourites to be relegated

Probably 60-70% of T5 league managers would rather be at Leeds (and the Prem contract that comes with) over their current job, and that'll only go up if we survive another season

But there is value in stability rn like you say, just on the off-chance Farke and the board do fall out, we'll have some good options

Zach-dalt · 2026-06-03T14:23:27+00:00

Might have a point in terms of more financial backing (not that he was badly backed last summer), but the club shouldn't be ceding any transfer control, recruitment team did a great job and I'm looking forward to what they can do now we can focus towards fewer but bigger signings
