Updated with Raph's departure to Barcelona.

Ballance just scored 133 for the Seconds - i wonder how far off the Firsts he is, or will Rafiq spit his dummy out again.

Gandalf doesn't have him listed on the squad page. What happened to Van de Hoover?

Harry is the alternate U18 keeper. He has now been added.

Don't know what it is in Colombian, but sinister is left in Latin.

As long as Raphinha stays motivated, this would be amazing. Rumour has it that we have given him an ultimatum to make a decision by July 12th, and he is now thinking that Barcelona will not be able to agree the fee with Leeds, and he would rather move to Chelsea than stay at Leeds. In which case he...

I see what you did there. He couldn't keep his thomas in his pants.

Updated to add the arrival of Luis Sinisterra from Feyenoord.

Harvey Sutcliffe - RB/LB Luca Thomas - STR Keenan Carole - Wing Cuba Diobe - RB Will Brook - GK All signed professional contracts today. Luca Thomas netted 15 times in 17 games for the U18's last season I have added them, although Diobe is also known as Cuba Cline. (Father's surname - Mother's maid...

Updated with the arrival on one Tyler, and the departure of the other. Plus the first year scholars mentioned by Faaip above.

Updated to include Charlie Cresswell's season loan to Millwall.

Updated to include the departure of Kalvin Phillips, and the arrival of Darko Gyabi.

Updated to include the departure of Liam McCarron to Stoke.

I would much prefer his Bruges forward partner - Charles de Katelaire. Romano has linked us with him, tonight, plus Cody Gakpo from PSV. Both exciting young players. I still think Raph will be with us at the start of the season.

Billy Bremner, Johnny Giles, Bobby Collins.

Updated to include the departures of Elia Caprile and Ryan Edmondson.

My thanks to you all for your kind words. I couldn't believe that I managed to hang on, after i couldn't find a single winner in the last two days. Special thanks to Leon for running the book.

Erling Haaland - born in Leeds to a Leeds United player, and a Leeds fan throughout his childhood. He visited Thorp Arch in 2018, yet Orta and the club decided not to spend the 8m or so that it would have taken to bring him to ER. Instead we signed Patrick Bamford. I would rate this as one of Orta'...
