Leeds United player ratings vs Paderborn in behind-closed-doors friendly as Jaka Bijol and Wilfried Gnonto excite
Daniel Farke's son played for Paderborn, and looked decent too #lufc

Here's what went on in the game vs Paderborn, with Leeds United made to work #lufc
www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...
Leeds United have indeed submitted a bid in excess of €30m (£26.2m) for Igor Paixao
Doesn't go beyond €35m (£30.5m) but would make him most expensive summer signing regardless
As reported last month, player open to a LUFC move with the right deal #lufc
www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...
Leeds United have agreed a deal in principle for Lyon goalkeeper Lucas Perri
Ended last season with a save xG of +3.8. Final season at Botafogo (2023) saw him record an xG of +13
A big box ticked #lufc

The irony. Anton Stach was unable to play yesterday due to not gaining international clearance. Despite being German and the game being in Germany.
Anyway, he watched Tuesday's friendly from the stands - and Illan Meslier, from the press box #lufc

Doubt hangs over Jack Harrison’s involvement in Leeds United’s pre-season tour this summer
Club sources have described the situation with Harrison as complex, with the Whites yet to reach a firm conclusion on next steps #lufc

Sunday thoughts…
Frustration over Leeds United’s transfer progress is totally understandable - but there’s a bigger picture at play #lufc
www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...
For those wanting figures on finishing above 17th-placed teams:
- 41pts enough in past 10 years
- 39pts for last 4 yrs, and 7 of last 10
- Only time 41+ pts went down: West Ham 02/03*
- Most losses & stayed up: Spurs 24/25 (22)
- No club relegated with 11 wins*
*20-team lg
Leeds United target Sean Longstaff started and scored in a behind-closed-doors friendly for Newcastle United this afternoon #lufc
www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...
36 points would have seen a club survive in each of the past nine Premier League seasons
30 pts would have done it in three of the past five, and the past two
It's clear why 10 wins is the base (not total) aim for Leeds United next season #lufc

More on Sean Longstaff situ after £12m bid ultimately rejected in the end
Player himself believed not as quick to close door and NUFC could still sell, but optimism has waned
LUFC have been notably stubborn with bid pricing this window eg Diarra #lufc
