Leeds United in talks to sign James Trafford
🚨 Leeds United in talks with Manchester City to sign James Trafford. Newcastle United also interested & #NUFC made club-to-club contact but 23yo #MCFC goalkeeper leaning towards Elland Road + #LUFC now working to land England international 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...
Dave4You're becoming as bad as Romano .
Chris 🤍💛💙3He would ba a super signing. 🤞🤞 #LUFC
Sam-I-Am2He can go to Leeds. Trafford missed his opportunity to join Newcastle last season.
Fail We May… Sail We Must!2The devaluation of NUFC shows no sign of easing
Mark McFaul1I'm obviously biased living in the North East but I don't get the idea he'd rather be at Leeds than Newcastle. Despite a poor season last year they are the more established PL side and they clearly want him... 🤷♂️
Peter Smith11I take it @joseybackupnorth.bsky.social is already positioned on a bridge over the M62. #lufc
Darren9Yes we were interested but did we actually put in a bid? The narrative is he rejected us but how close were we to actually signing him this window? If we were that fussed, we’ve had at least 2-3 years to get the deal done by now. Don’t let certain journalists rile you up into a frenzy #nufc
Keith Maloney7Once we signed Jouen it didn't make sense we'd sign another younger keeper at a high price. Not that it's any of my business/concern, but there's other (not going to say bigger) clubs I thought would be in for Trafford. Chelsea and Spurs need keepers for example. #NUFC
Phil Harrison7DO IT!! Brilliant young keeper. England's next number one. Huge potential resale value. Worth chucking the summer's budget at imo.
Grey Eye Magpie7Quickly clarifying, no hijack here #nufc
ellisbarry.bsky.social5This would be a good statement. #LUFC
Rich Holmes4Not to be the pessimistic one but...... Until he's in a #lufc shirt.....etc etc.
Doc MUFC3No doubt City will somehow get £50m for him.
Forbes3He goes in to the pot with Ekitike of players who couldn’t think of anything worse than playing for NUFC after three attempts of signing him
𝘚𝘪2This would be some business, if the club manages to get it over the line and he's sat signing his contract with the blonde lass. Now, which player/s is/are getting sold to soften the spending for Trafford..
Leeds United still on with Julian Brandt pursuit and hopeful he'll make a decision soon. The Ornstein line on Trafford leaning towards Leeds is big. Still got to get a deal done though. Outgoings: Jack Harrison to New England Revolution likely. Fee will be undisclosed. #lufc
Tom Woodhead15Can't see a YEP journo saying Leeds are 'on with' a transfer target without thinking of this
MELLY4Did I die in my sleep or something??
Tony Dickinson2What's the feeling? Why am I making an upturned frown on my face? Is this what they call happiness?
Steve Jones2Fee. Hahahaha. Unless it's us paying them. 😁
Rob Biggins1Phil 2.0, officially the better Phil
📰 #LUFC wishes Max Wöber all the best for the future as the defender departs the club www.leedsunited.com/en/news/max-...
I think James Trafford will be a huge player for club and country, but, after sounding out some better minds covering French football, I’m not sure NUFC would have convinced Jaouen to join if he was going to play behind someone young who will demand to play every game. EJ well thought of in France.
Jake Jackman3I said this at the time of Jaouen signing. Makes no sense to block his pathway immediately especially when we want to become big players in the 18-21 with huge potential market. Agents and players alike will be looking at how the first to make the jump to us are developed.
Jonathan JE Brown1Agree but so we really want another season of Pope's dodgy passing. It unsettles the whole back line, means we struggle when pressed, and just undermines confidence throughout the team.
James1Fascinating to see if/who we replace Pope with, based on the EJ investment. Far from simple.
