Zero surprise that away kits do much better

James Trafford to #LUFC latest:

• The goalkeeper wants to join Leeds United. Talks are extremely advanced – first-option/buyback clause & club performance clauses being negotiated within Trafford's Leeds contract. [Ben Jacobs/Alex Crook]

• Newcastle were offered the player in June while discussing Sandro Tonali but no interest. Leeds are leading the race. [David Ornstein]

• Aston Villa & Spurs were also keen, but Trafford wants to play at Leeds – he sees a chance to build his future at the club. [Daily Mail]

• Villa dropped out of the race after deciding to retain Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Newcastle baulked at City's £40m valuation. Leeds have been working on the deal since February. [James Marshment]

James Trafford would be an enormous statement and a transformational signing for Leeds.

When Lucas Perri was dropped last season, he had the worst save percentage in the Premier League. Trafford had the 2nd best in all competitions (75.5%) with 5.8 prevented goals per xGoT. [Jonny Cooper – Opta]

The 6'5” 23-year-old was between the sticks for Burnley in their race to 100 points during the 2024-25 season, when Leeds also reached that tally.

But where Leeds won the Championship with attacking power and possession, Burnley came 2nd through defensive solidity and Trafford was a big part of that - conceding just 16 goals in 45 games.

That season at Burnley, Trafford had an 84.6% save percentage, prevented 12.58 goals, saved the 2 penalties he faced, made 88 saves and kept 29 clean sheets. [fotMOB]

Trafford's time at Burnley was so impressive it made Manchester City trigger their buy-back clause (first option/price match) and pay a record fee for a British goalkeeper to take him back to the Etihad when they paid £27m (rising to £31m).

That clause was triggered when Newcastle bid £31m for the player.

Manchester City are negotiating a similar buyback clause with Leeds.

Last year, Trafford signed a five-year deal with the club he spent his youth at.

But the goalkeeper was gazumped when the Citizens brought in Gianluigi Donnarumma on deadline day and Trafford was demoted to the bench.

City value the player at £40m – meaning that should that valuation be met, he would break his own British record fee for a goalkeeper again within a year.

This would be a monumental statement of a signing from Leeds United.

A top goalkeeper was one of the biggest missing pieces from the starting eleven and cost the Yorkshire club significantly at the start of last season.

In fact, goalkeepers have been a problem position for the Whites for years.

Illan Meslier, Kiko Casilla, Bailey Peacock-Farrell all came, were relatively poor and left. Karl Darlow was Leeds' best option since Rob Green.

But James Trafford might be the best goalkeeper to pull on a Leeds shirt since... Paul Robinson? Nigel Martyn?

Trafford is England's number one-in-waiting. He was at the World Cup this summer which is why a deal has taken this long to materialise.

The transfer is very advanced, but it is still not done. But if Leeds land Trafford, and he stays fit and performs anywhere near the levels he is capable – it would open up many possibilities for Leeds including reverting to Farke's favoured 4-2-3-1.

With a top stopper between the sticks, Leeds' attack could be unlocked, knowing that they can take a few more risks.

This is a very, very, exciting potential transfer.

And this window is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory for Leeds United.

James Trafford to #LUFC is getting very 🔥. Leeds have also made an offer to free agent Julian Brandt who has visited their training ground with his dad in recent days @talkSPORT

Cucurella le estaba preguntando si todo bien y Messi fue a pedir que le expulsasen.

Es la acción más deshonrosa que he visto en un campo de fútbol y va a perseguir a Messi de por vida.

6 years ago today Derby County gave Leeds a guard of honour at home when a hungover Leeds team took the piss in a comfortable win. Followed by some breakdancing on the pitch from a drunk @Cli5hy #lufc

@Stumando28 @SaintsExtra @SportsPeteO Any reason why he hasnt played more for you? Ni captain, good pedigree and potential...

[rich @LeedsEternal]

@Stumando28 @SaintsExtra @SportsPeteO Im not sure he would start for us immediately, but he would certainly be a rotation option and would a chance to play enough to keep him happy. I would think he can certainly grow into being a starter, he is a great prospect.

Saints recruit well, hopefully you get up this year

Ich werde ein paar Wochen abwarten, bis erste Umsetzungspläne zur Chatkontrolle bekannt sind und anschließend detaillierte Anleitungen bereitstellen, wie das zu umgehen ist.

Es ist nicht bequem, aber es gibt Möglichkeiten.

Die EU ist ein Bastardverein. Fickt euch.

[🇫🇮✸⌘Lucien Lambent⌘✸🇫🇮🇪🇪🇲🇳🇭🇺 @LambentLucien]

EU friends, read closely and retweet aggressively.

Chat Control will mean scanning of private messages and a complete destruction of your privacy as a citizen.

You don't need to be a tech expert to protect yourself. Here's a setup and instructions that will that help a lot in retaining your privacy:

Step 1: Buy a phone from outside the EU.

This is absolutely non-negotiable and the foundation of your entire privacy stack. Buy a US or Japanese model Google Pixel phone if possible. It's easier to set up privately

Step2: Use Signal for messaging.

Step 3: Download all your apps from third party sources; Discord, Whatsapp, TikTok — all of it.

Stop downloading them from Google Play and Apple's App Store. This is called "sideloading". Most of the apps you use today can be downloaded as sideloadables, including Twitter/X itself.

Step 4: Get a VPN

Consider Mullvad or Proton VPN since they don't keep logs. This is a powerful way to hide your location even if the EU attempts to ban virtual private networks.

For Android:

Consider GrapheneOS. It's a free privacy-focused system. It removes a lot of tracking.

This combo makes it much harder for unwanted scanning or tracking. It's not perfect, but way better than default settings.

Look it up on GrapheneOS dot org or PrivacyGuides dot org.

Start small and tell your MEPs you want real privacy, not mass surveillance.

Our tireless fight against Brussels' hegemonic steamrolling of our sovereignty continues. Never stop.

Stay secret! Stay safe!

This is the Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie from our relegation year, collapse at Palace onwards

Should bring Aaronson on. He is your only hope

[rich @LeedsEternal]

How on Earth did Anton Stach not get into this Germany squad? They look awful, he would be the best player on the pitch right now, and, ironically, exactly what they need.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🟡🔵 Leeds United have completed all formalities for Harry Wilson to become their first signing of the summer.

Wilson signs a four year deal until June 2030 at #LUFC, priority target for weeks.
