Leeds United team news as Farke rings the changes again after Middlesbrough collapse Daniel Farke named his starting lineup for Leeds United’s Championship match against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon at The Hawthorns. Seven changes from Farke have, predictably, reversed the rotation he instituted in midweek to such a poor effect for Leeds United. Joel Piroe is the only player who survived the eight switches on Wednesday. Junior Firpo, Ethan Ampadu, and Joe Rodon are playing in their third matches in a week. The Dutch striker remains in the starting lineup and is probably going to play behind…
Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick addresses goalkeeper situation The decision by Michael Carrick to start in goal for the Carabao Cup match against Leeds United this evening should not be seen as proof of a shot-stopping hierarchy inside the team. Despite the departures of Zach Hemming and Jamie Jones this summer—the former signed a permanent contract at Salford City, while the latter joined Leyton Orient on loan—Boro still has three senior goalkeepers with experience. Seny Dieng is unquestionably the top player for Boro; Tom Glover and Sol Brynn are his competitors. Dieng started the team’s Championship opener against Swansea City last…
Why does Leeds’ away kit have a different badge? Whites return to ‘smiley’ emblem on yellow shirt The supporters are adoring Leeds United’s new yellow away uniform, which will be unveiled this weekend against West Brom. After their 2018 scandal, the Whites are no strangers to dramatic badge changes, but the 2024–25 yellow strip has drawn greater praise. On a first day of sales that broke records, the Yorkshire club reported that over 15,000 of the new shirts were sold. With a “smiley” emblem that harks back to the 1970s, the Elland Road outfit has had 13 different crests…
10/10 transfer window could elude West Ham with Manchester United in for ‘unreal’ France international Although West Ham United has already had an amazing summer transfer window, Manchester United may now be about to deal us a blow. Congratulations to David Sullivan, Tim Steidten, and Julen Lopetegui for bringing so many elite players to West Ham during the summer transfer window thus far. However, it definitely could get even better with one final push from the powers that be at the London Stadium. Despite criticism from Richard Keys regarding what he says has been a lack of value for money for…
Max Wober not desperate to stay at Leeds United ahead of August 30 deadline In an interview with The Square Ball podcast on Monday, August 12, Smyth urged Farke to start the 26-year-old against Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, August 14. Although he was not used as a substitute in Leeds’ opening game of the new Championship campaign, Smyth hinted that he would be staying last season. He has just had a season in the Bundesliga, starting in the top flight in Germany. He’s now a reserve player in England’s second division, playing for a team a…
Liverpool player posts wordless message as Richard Hughes ‘rejects’ second transfer bid Bobby Clark, a midfielder for Liverpool, is rumoured to be interested in Leeds United. A fresh offer for Bobby Clark is allegedly rejected by Liverpool. Clark paid £1.5 million to join Liverpool three years ago, moving from Newcastle United, and he has come a long way on Merseyside. His 11 senior outings from the previous season included his Premier League debut, a cameo in the Reds’ Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea at Wembley, and his first senior goal in a 6-1 Europa League victory over Sparta Prague.…

West Ham have suffered ‘big blow’ after off-field deal agreed – Stefan Borson The possibility of a stadium naming rights agreement with Allianz will be missed, much to the dismay of West Ham. Financial expert Stefan Borson believes as much, and he exclusively told Football Insider that the East Londoners will have suffered a “big blow” as a result of the lack of firms seeking to sponsor stadiums. A sponsor for the 2012 Olympic residence has not been found, which has led to criticism of the London Legacy Development Corporation in the past. According to a November 2018 BBC…
‘Deal done’ – West Ham complete Man Utd and Newcastle United £35m transfer hijack This weekend, the Hammers have officially added a major new player. By beating off Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea to the much sought-after 24-year-old defender Jean-Clair Todibo from OGC Nice, West Ham has pulled off another huge summer transfer coup. As Julen Lopetegui gets ready for his first season as the club’s manager, the London Stadium has seen an astonishing window of action thus far. The goal of rejuvenating an ageing defence has always been top priority, and it appears that this goal will…
Imagine him & Summerville: West Ham enquire over another potential signing As they try to implement Julen Lopetegui’s new possession-based style of football in time for the Premier League campaign to begin, West Ham has only managed one victory in their first four preseason games. In the four games, the Hammers have given up eight goals, three to Crystal Palace and one each to Wolves. Even with Max Kilman’s acquisition, they might still need more defensive reinforcements. Though such conversations appear to have reached a standstill at the moment, both right and left full-backs—the most notable being Aaron Wan-Bissaka…
