Marked for Jayden Bogle

Squad

Jayden Bogle stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jayden Bogle and Leeds United agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Leeds United

Alexis Vega was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Leeds United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Harry Wilson is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Leeds United get the job done against Aston Villa

A 1‑0 win over Aston Villa, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Market

No place for Lucas Perri in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Lucas Perri has his answer from Leeds United; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Lukas Nmecha

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Gabriel Gudmundsson was the difference for Leeds United

Marked 7.71. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The dugout

A satisfied Jason Jones

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Jason Jones could afford to be generous.

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than James Justin

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Squad

James Trafford stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad

The step up is real for Jean-Mattéo Bahoya

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Match

Sunderland take the points off Leeds United

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

200 appearances for Jayden Bogle

200 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

The dugout

Nicholas Bell answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

When it matters, Harry Wilson plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

A row about effort at Leeds United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Josh McDonald was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

James Trafford linked with a move away

The name of James Trafford keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Leeds United say nothing, which says plenty.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Sean Longstaff

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Newcastle United in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Jayden Bogle puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Leeds United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Both of them Ricardo Pepi's — 8.89

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.89, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Daniel James

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Sean Longstaff signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Sean Longstaff and Leeds United agree another 4 years.

Match

Leeds United find a way past Burnley

Burnley made Leeds United work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Noah Okafor

Marked 8.24 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ethan Ampadu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Nicholas Bell, on a 3‑2 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout

Daniel James knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Daniel James trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Transfer targets

$17.8M settles it between the clubs for Ricardo Pepi

PSV have accepted the money. What Leeds United do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Leeds United walk away from Pablo Felipe

$32.1M was the most the club would pay and West Ham United were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market

SC Freiburg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Leeds United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Köln join the queue for Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Add another name to the list: Köln have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The answer from Leeds United has not changed — yet.

Market

Anton Stach wants more than Leeds United are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Jaka Bijol signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jaka Bijol and Leeds United agree another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Leeds United

Anton Stach and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Leeds United rebuffed over Lukáš Horníček

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Newcastle United have kept their man, and Leeds United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Jayden Bogle

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jayden Bogle, and the manager let it.

In brief
