As the transfer window is now open again until 1 September, we asked for you to tell us one player you want to bring to Leeds United and one player you want the club to sell.
Here are some of your comments:
Lee: Sell Brenden Aaronson and buy James McAtee.
Danny: Sell Joe Gelhardt for his own development and future, he's missed his chance at Leeds. Buy Gustavo Hamer to play the number 10 role and be the bridge between defence and attack.
Steve: I'd sell Meslier as Darlow is more than good enough and the defence look more confident with him behind them. I'd love to see Gustavo Hamer come to Elland Road. Our style of play is perfect for him.
Ronnie: Leeds would benefit tremendously by bringing in Gus Hamer from Sheffield United. He has exceptional talent and speed to win the ball and run with it into the danger area where he will either score or give it to another player who is in a better position. Sam Byram must be let go. He is a lovely lad and would work his socks off but is at the peak of his skills which fall short of the Premier League.
Les: Sell Meslier, buy Ramsdale. Meslier has been the cause of a lot of losses over the years. I think he was a major factor in relegation from the Premier League and could have cost Leeds promotion.

No sooner does the season finish and we start looking forward to key dates for the next campaign - and that will be a lot easier to do on Wednesday when the Premier League fixtures are released.
That's right, that special day in the calendar is almost here already. The day when you'll learn details of derby fixtures, Christmas opponents and end-of-season run-ins.
This page will bring you all the fixtures when they drop at 09:00 BST on Wednesday and we'll be giving you the chance to have your say on how things look.
The new campaign kicks off on the weekend of Saturday, 16 August and it will conclude on Sunday, 24 May 2026, when all 10 games will take place at the same time.

18:07 16 June
The transfer window is open again for summer business to be conducted.
Clubs can now strike deals until the deadline at 19:00 BST on 1 September.
So if you can sell one player, who is it? And if you can buy one player only, who gets the nod?
Give us reasons for your choice but remember, in this instance it's a strict one player leaving and one coming in.
'A stop-start career, but he has potential' - fans on new boy Nmechapublished at 14:52 16 June

We asked for your views on German forward Lukas Nmecha signing for Leeds.
Here are some of your comments:
Ben: It seems like savvy business. A forward who knows the English game, who has international and club experience with top sides and managers - for free.
Mark: He's had a stop-start career but some potential obviously. Whether he'll finally realise his potential at Leeds remains unclear to me. Maybe initially a squad player who can hopefully take his opportunities when they come. Great there is no transfer fee involved.
David: Three goals in 52 Championship appearances for Preston and Middlesbrough are stats I'd expect from a centre-half not a centre-forward. Joel Piroe will be sleeping easily tonight.
Andrew: Let's hope he's as good as Tony Yeboah when he came from Germany. If Patrick Bamford is fit and plays, he will feed off Patrick, who holds the ball well. He should score a few.
Andy: Very useful signing for no transfer cost. We need to add more strength and depth all over the park and this is a good start. Hopefully there will be lots more activity for cover and new leaders in almost every position over the next couple of months.
Nick: Not exactly an exciting signing but as a free transfer it might represent a good bit of business if he gets four or five goals and does a job up front. How many strikers with top-flight experience are free these days?
'He said the fans are crazy' - Nmecha on Guilavogui influencepublished at 11:00 16 June

Leeds' latest signing Lukas Nmecha has spoke about Josuha Guilavogui's role in him signing for the Peacocks.
The pair were formerly team-mates at Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg before Guilavogui left for Mainz in 2023.
"I've got some people that have been here, like Joss [Guilavogui], who I've played with and he told me about the atmosphere and the fans," Nmecha told LUTV about Guilavogui, who left the club this summer.
"I trust Joss. He's one of the nicest guys in football. He said it's a massive club and if I get the opportunity, I should definitely do it. He said the fans are crazy and the boys are great as well. So yes, he gave a really good first impression."
How are you feeling about the signing of Nmecha, Leeds fans? Is the German a good addition to your front line?

Can Bamford still lead the line in the Premier League?published at 11:56 11 June
11:56 11 June

Will Patrick Bamford still be an asset in the Premier League?
The 31-year-old struggled for fitness last season and did not start a game in the Championship, coming off the bench 17 times without scoring.
However, he boasts more top-flight experience than most in the Leeds squad and did score 17 Premier League goals in the 2021-22 season, the last time the Whites went up.
This week's Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast episode discusses whether he can still be useful for Daniel Farke.
"Most people listening would probably agree that a nine needs to be bought," said BBC Radio Leeds sports editor Jonny Buchan.
"But if [Bamford] plays every pre-season game, has a decent one, plays in Dublin against AC Milan - he does have Premier League pedigree, something the club need and want," .
"He's already got that and he scored 17 in the top flight before."
Co-host and Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix can also see the value of keeping Bamford around.
"We've seen Bamford trying to get fit," added Rix. "He never gave me any hint he wants to leave Leeds. He knows he needs to get to the first day of pre-season ready to go because last season was a bit of a washout.
"He's back in credit with the fans. There is an argument that if you get Pat fit for 28 games in a Premier League season, he's very worth having. If someone else had him, you'd think he's a good striker for them to have.
"I just don't know if you can go into a very important season again relying on Bamford to be fit. It feels like a stretch."
Lions up, Watford down? The 2025 Championship tablepublished at 12:37 10 June

Watford are getting relegated, Plymouth are staying up, Millwall are in the play-offs and Portsmouth are also battling for a top-six spot.
Does something sound a bit off? Well, that's what would have happened if the Championship season started on 1 January.
Here's a look at the 2025 calendar year table, showing who the form sides were in the second half of the season and who went into freefall.
Perhaps the most notable difference between the actual final top six and the 2025 version is that Millwall would be in the play-offs and Premier League-bound Sunderland would not.
Burnley and Leeds still comfortably occupy the automatic promotion spots, albeit the Clarets would be unbeaten at the top of the pile with the Whites in second.
Coventry improved significantly after Frank Lampard replaced Mark Robins and are third over the course of the year.
The Sky Blues would instead be pitted against Bristol City in the play-off semi-final as opposed to Sunderland. Who knows what difference that would have made to their promotion bid...
Image source, Rex Features
Portsmouth - who spent much of the season battling relegation and only secured their Championship safety with two games to spare - are seventh and just one point outside a play-off spot.
Pompey sit above Sunderland, who lost their final five games of the season and are down in eighth.
The data perhaps shows just how long Regis Le Bris' side effectively had a play-off spot sewn up before their victory at Wembley against Sheffield United to claim promotion.
Relegation battlers Oxford find themselves seven places higher than where they actually finished in the 2024-25 campaign (17th), reflecting the good work done by Gary Rowett after he took over as boss from Des Buckingham.

Plymouth would have survived comfortably had the season begun in January 2025, showing a significant uptick after Miron Muslic replaced Wayne Rooney at the helm.
Middlesbrough tailed off significantly in the second half of the season, underpinning why they missed out on the play-offs. It was a drop off that ultimately cost Michael Carrick his job as head coach.
Norwich City conceded more goals (32) than any other side in 2025, which counteracted the hard work they'd done at the other end, having been the fourth top scorers (31) since the turn of the year.
Image source, Rex Features
Watford had a disappointing 2025, winning just five of their 23 games and losing 13 to finish bottom of the calendar year table.
The Hornets had the joint-worst goal difference along with Cardiff (-10) and head coach Tom Cleverley was sacked following the end of the season.
Preston and Cardiff won the fewest games of any side in 2025 (4), which cost the Bluebirds their Championship status and almost led to the Lilywhites dropping into League One as they avoided relegation by one point.
Paul Heckingbottom's side would be down if only games this year were counted.
Luton and Derby scored the fewest goals in 2025 (19) and attacking output was an issue that plagued both sides throughout the entire campaign.
It had major consequences for the Hatters with back-to-back relegations, while the Rams survived by a point - and only on goal difference in the yearly table.

Have Wober's comments lowered his transfer value?published at 12:00 10 June
12:00 10 June
Jonny Buchan and Kaiser Chiefs' bassist Simon Rix have been discussing the comments of Leeds defender Max Wober who said on international duty he was aware the club wanted to sell him.
"Leeds will be disappointed with that because it has lowered the price," said Rix on the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast from BBC Radio Leeds.
"What if no one comes for him?," added Buchan.
"Now they all know he's available for cheap he becomes a back-up option for teams on the continent later in the year. What do you do then?"
'A no-brainer' deal but do Whites need transfers now?published at 08:09 10 June

We asked for your views on whether Leeds United need to act urgently in the transfer market, as the first of the two transfer windows comes to a close on Tuesday.
Here are some of your comments:
Dave: It would be nice to get a couple of signings sealed in this first window, as the longer a player is with us before next season begins the better. That said, the squad won't be back in training for a good while yet, so there's no reason to panic. I think the players we'll be in for are likely to be those where a lot of wheeling and dealing needs to be done, as we can't throw £120m at specific targets. I expect many of our signings will come at the back end of the second window rather than late in this one. I have faith it will be worth the wait.
Nick: Surely the most straightforward work is getting Manor Solomon secured back at Elland Road. There are so many other links and possibilities out there, but this seems like a no-brainer. I'm not sure what the hold up is.
Boris: I don't expect any signings until after 1 July, when the new financial year starts for clubs.
Philip: We definitely want one addition, just to prove that we're not going to sit on our hands over the opportunity! It would give hope to the fans that, despite the setbacks, we are interested in becoming a Premier League team and not a yo-yo team.
Kevin: Leeds are so frustrating at transfer time. Things always seem to go to the wire. Nottingham Forest went mad a few season back signing players right through the windows - and ultimately it has paid off. It gives players time to settle in and gel, so pull your fingers out Leeds!

'Diarra would be an ambitious signing'published at 17:53 9 June

Leeds fans will get perhaps their first glimpse of potential new signing Habib Diarra when England play his Senegal side at Wembley on Tuesday.
The White's £22m bid was reported by L'Equipe, external over the weekend, and is the first concrete offer that has come to light since this summer's window began.
The 21-year-old Diarra is a box-to-box midfielder who is strong in and out of possession and he progresses the ball with trickery in transition.
Despite his age, the Senegal international has three years of Ligue 1 experience, including captaining Strasbourg last season, and his four goals and five assists were the biggest contribution of his young career.
United owners 49ers Enterprises are known for going about their transfer business very quietly.
Signings like Ethan Ampadu and Largie Ramazani happened with very few rumours before those transfers were completed.
The 49ers see this strategy as crucial to securing the best deals they can for the club.
Midfield was arguably the Whites strongest area in last year's record-breaking 100-point season. Club captain Ampadu, instant fan favourite Ao Tanaka, Illia Gruev and loanee Joe Rothwell formed a brick wall in the Leeds engine room.
But United have lost Rothwell and, with the Premier League being a huge step up, it is vital the team is strengthened in all areas.
Diarra would be an ambitious signing and the size of their opening bid is a measure of what the club think of him.
Having risen through Strasbourg's academy to captain them into Europe, Diarra may need convincing.
But the Peacocks proved with May's parade what a sleeping giant they are, and Leeds in the Premier League are a tempting proposition for anyone.

'One last promotion party before looking to challenge ahead'published at 16:00 6 June
16:00 6 June
Lewis Deighton Fan writer
After five weeks on cloud nine, the Premier League table has officially refreshed for next season and Leeds United are alphabetically 11th - stop the count!
The Kaiser Chiefs gig at Temple Newsam, celebrating 20 years of their debut album "Employment", felt like one last promotion party before attention turned to the challenge ahead.
Adopted club anthem "I Predict a Riot" featured twice on the night - as Leeds' number nine turned guitarist Patrick Bamford took stage for a one-off performance with the band. The Championship trophy was present too, along with a crop of Bielsa-era players.
All three clubs promoted from the Championship have gone straight back down in each of the past two seasons, and so we are led to believe that any prospect of Leeds surviving is doubtful.
I think if you unpack it, none of the clubs promoted in that time have had any big-club pull or mentality to do some smart, serious business in the transfer window. Leeds and Sunderland will both have that.
Raphinha, for what he has gone on to achieve, is undoubtedly up there with the most ground-breaking transfers out of the Premier League since Gareth Bale in 2013 - having only spent two seasons at Elland Road.
The sheer scale of Leeds United, its rich history and renowned fanbase, means they are naturally a more favoured TV selection for the numbers generated. All this, accompanied with the foundations in place and money at play, makes Leeds the more appetising stage for a certain type of player.
Another factor next season is that nine clubs have qualified for European football, which will perhaps give Leeds an edge in games against weakened or fatigued sides.
The Championship's improvement table for 2024-25published at 13:46 5 June

The 2024-25 Championship season might be over but there are many ways to analyse and reflect on the campaign that has gone before us.
Not every club can go up but if there are signs a team is moving in the right direction, it can still be considered good progress - or quite the opposite if things are on the slide.
Here is a look at how each of the 18 sides who were in the Championship for the past two seasons got on points wise compared to the 2023-24 campaign.
It perhaps comes as no surprise that Sunderland, who won promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs, recorded the most significant improvement after finishing 16th in 2023-24 and picked up 20 more points.
Despite a tumultuous season off the field, Blackburn were the second most improved side in the division, gaining 13 points on the previous campaign as they missed out on the play-offs by just two points.
Leeds racked up 90 points in 2023-24 but somehow still managed a 10-point improvement as they hit the 100 mark on their way to winning the title in their best-ever season in the second tier.
Millwall's seven-point improvement was enough to help them finish five places higher in eighth, but they fell short of the top six by two points.
Meanwhile, Bristol City were only six points better off but managed to climb five places and claim a play-off spot, recording their best Championship finishing position since 2007-08.
Coventry also only improved by five points but were able to jump from ninth to fifth, perhaps showing just how fine the margins can be in the Championship when it comes to securing a play-off berth.
At the bottom...

You might want to look away now, Hull City fans.
The Tigers went backwards more than any other side compared to the previous season under Liam Rosenior, dropping from seventh place and three points outside the play-offs to only escaping relegation on goal difference on the final day.
Cardiff went from mid-table in 2023-24 to rock bottom and will drop down to League One for the first time in 22 years. It is pretty clear to see why as the Bluebirds picked up 18 fewer points compared to the previous season.
Norwich tumbled to 13th place after finishing in the play-offs a year before - an underperformance which ultimately cost Johannes Hoff Thorup his job as head coach.
Preston were 10 points off the play-off places in 2023-24 but picked up 13 fewer points under Paul Heckingbottom in what was their worst season since they were relegated from the Championship in 2010-11.
The Lilywhites' downturn was largely due to a major dip in form in the latter stages of the campaign, picking up only one win from their final 15 games (D7 L7) to avoid the drop by just one point.
West Bromwich Albion endured a disappointing season - for a club which always harbours ambitions of plying its trade in the top flight - with an 11-point drop off.
Albion's final points tally of 64 was their worst in the Championship since 1999-2000.
Plymouth may have only been five points worse off than they were in 2023-24 but having survived on the final day that season, there were to be no such heroics this time around and their two-year stint in the second tier is over.
And the rest...

Why Leeds 'need to be studying opponents now'published at 12:25 5 June
12:25 5 June
Image source, Getty Images
We asked for your questions for BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha on your Premier League club.
Richard asked what the hardest parts of adapting to the Premier League are after securing promotion.
In the Championship, the team with the best players will more often than not end up near the top of the league because there is such a disparity.
In the Premier League, every team has international players and they all have experience of being there. They all keep themselves in top shape, know ways to win, know ways to manage games and get over the line, and they are all coached really well.
The Premier League is now a hotbed for the world's best coaches so the separation between managers is not as big as you find in the Championship.
All established Premier League clubs have expectations and big budgets. The nature of the players, the facilities, the understanding, the belief - it all plays into it.
With Leeds coming back up, I like that they have experienced it not long ago, and had a season when they stayed up. They have had a feel of being an underdog on a week-to-week basis and not being expected to win most matches.
Outside the Premier League, we sometimes focus on the teams at the top of the league, see how good they are and somewhat disregard the rest.
In the top flight they are the top 20 teams in the country. You do not realise how good every side is until it is your club promoted and playing against them every week.
On paper, the teams in the lower half have better players than the side just promoted with 100 points.
Everyone in the Premier League is good and Leeds need to find a way to get points as quickly as possible.
They also need to be studying opponents now. I guarantee teams will be studying them, and the games they are targeting to get points from will be tougher than they think.
Nedum Onuoha was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward
Expectations, balancing books and little room for errorpublished at 08:43 5 June
08:43 5 June
Adam Pope BBC Radio Leeds reporter
As I was walking into the office a smiling Leeds United supporter shouted "Any transfer news Popey?" And so it starts.
The window is ajar, well until 7pm on 10 June at least, when it slams shut before flying open again on 16 June until whatever alternative onomatopoeia can be found to describe the sound of it being forcibly closed again on 1 September at 19:00 BST.
By that time Leeds will have been linked with a host of players which would have the pen running out on Santa's Christmas wish list. It's classic economics: The Problem of Scarcity - Unlimited Wants and Finite Resources.
Leeds will strengthen the squad to survive and then hopefully thrive in the Premier League. Fans have felt emboldened by reports that the Elland Road board are raising £120m from investors by a new share issue. Their hopes that all of that and more will be spent on players needs to be tempered though because there is a stadium redevelopment to be funded simultaneously.
A further dash of realism was added by renowned football finance expert Kieran Maguire who told the BBC that Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) will require United "to box clever in terms of recruitment" and that "spending £100m is just about feasible." Remember also that last year's revenue from player trading has to be be balanced against the £142m still owed for previous transfers.
Goalkeeper is a key area it seems. Illan Meslier remains under contract for another year even if his credit with much of the fanbase has expired. Deposed by Karl Darlow for the run-in last season, it could be time for Meslier, 25, to move on. Chelsea's Djorde Petrovic is one name that is circulating with Blues boss Enzo Maresca keen on taking Meslier's compatriot Mike Maignan from AC Milan, which could precipitate an exit for the Serbia international from Stamford Bridge. But the Serie A outfit and Leeds' Premier League rivals AFC Bournemouth are also understood to be interested in Petrovic, who spent last season on loan at French League 1 side Strasbourg.
You can make a case that Leeds need signings in virtually every position and to help improve leverage in the market there may be an opportunity to raise funds - bar the obvious sale of an established first teamer - by moving on youth players who have low amortised values, because little or no transfer fee was paid for them initially. Whatever price they are then sold for can be counted as almost 'pure profit' in the accounts (as was the case for Archie Gray's £40m sale to Spurs for example.)
In that category fall several candidates such as Mateo Joseph, who the club rejected a £10m offer for from La Liga's Real Betis in January. He has been linked with Strasbourg. Joseph, 21, began last season as Leeds' main striker and although he performed well for Spain's under 21s he did not make the progress envisaged over the entire campaign. Returning from loan spells are Joe Gelhardt, Sam Greenwood and Darko Gyabi, who all remain under contract and therefore have some value. Their futures may lie elsewhere, but, it is difficult to believe the combined fees fetched for them would help to significantly add to United's spending power and counteract the £61m loss the club is permitted to make under PSR this year as it stands.
Winger Jack Harrison in particular is interesting. Having had two seasons on loan at Everton he now has 170 Premier League appearances under his belt. Harrison, 28, has not rediscovered his peak seen under Marcelo Bielsa, and, will require a tough skin to convince those that believe he should not see out the remaining three years of his deal at Elland Road after leaving the club post relegation in 2023. But he's a ready made winger, already on the books and is naturally left-footed in a position now vacated by Manor Solomon's return to Spurs.
So all eyes turn to managing director Robbie Evans, sporting director Adam Underwood and manager Daniel Farke as to how a competitive squad is created in time for mid August. The English philosopher and logician Carveth Read is credited with the quote "it is better to be vaguely right than precisely wrong." When it comes to the less than exact science of recruitment this summer United chairman Paraag Marathe is taking the sentiment further: "You've got to nail your transfers," he told us after sealing the Championship title.
The margin for error by the management team is slim but the weight of expectation, as always, will be enough to break the scales!
Leeds can't win every race...published at 14:23 4 June

Leeds United may have won the Championship and secured a place in the Premier League but it turns out there's at least one race their players couldn't come out on top in.
Three of the club's fastest players - Willy Gnonto, Largie Ramazani and Isaac Schmidt - took on the challenge of sprinting against a Red Bull Racing Formula 1 car, steered by F2 driver Arvid Lindblad.
The flying footballers initially looked like they may have too much in the tank for the machine in a race which went from penalty box to penalty box and back on the Elland Road turf.
The car easily won the day, taking control as all parties raced back to their starting penalty box.
Ramazani said: "The only thing better would be getting in the car. I love F1. I went to the Monaco Grand Prix last week, which was a bucket list moment for me. I used to play F1 games on the console when I was younger, so it was surreal to be next to a real car and race against it."
Leeds owners 'can't spend wildly' so 'need to be cute and clever'published at 07:07 4 June

BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope says club owners 49ers Enterprises will have to be "cute and clever" with summer recruitment following a BBC article with football finance expert Kieran Maguire that suggested a £100m transfer spend could be possible.
Speculation over the funds available to Leeds has intensified since a US-based consortium, including the investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers, completed a multi-million pound takeover of Scottish Premiership side Rangers.
Chairman Paraag Marathe will work as Rangers' new vice-chairman alongside his existing position at Elland Road.
"The interesting thing for me is I read an article over the weekend pertinent to Leeds by Kieran Maguire, who is really good," Pope told the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.
"He has looked at what everybody can spend in the Premier League and he mentioned Leeds might be looking at £100m to spend at the top end.
"This doesn't really go that far because they had two years in the Championship so this year of the three-year cycle they can afford to lose £61m.
"You can't spend wildly so people who are talking about what the owners are putting into Rangers and what they're not putting into Leeds - there are limits. £100m doesn't sound a right lot so they have to be cute, they have to be clever."
The podcast team were also keen to reflect on a day of celebration in the city before turning total attention to next season, after fans and players attended a huge Kaiser Chiefs gig on Saturday.
"The fact it was a whole day of celebrations rather than just jamming it into two hours was so good," Pope added. "The whole day felt like one big celebration.
"It has been a great year and this was the culmination of two great weeks following Leeds going up and the Bristol City game and then the Plymouth game to win the league with all the drama.
"It just felt like that period of celebration was all extended until this."
