Leeds are set to make a surprise signing befor the start of the season. Norris Pugh white and Pearce set to leave, not sure if its loan or to sell. Inside info reliable source. I'm 36 years old and not sad and would not post rubbish

Ah well, if you're 36, it must be true. And I can tell you're not sad. I know you're whistling to keep your spirits up, but the truth is this - the owners have no money, we can't get rid of the players that Warnock signed and who nearly got us relegated last year, the owners have said "Premiership in two years", which means "not this year", the only good sign from pre-season is a hat-trick by a player who has two good games a season, the manager is saying in scarely-disguised terms that he has been let down by the owners. I will be surprised if we aren't flirting with relegation in a month or two's time.

We would not miss any of those players

You do seem genuine. I just hope that you are correct.

To 1st reply - well said mate!
Exactly what I've been sayin all along!
Additions - a journey man, an unknown
An a league 1 player? Shows the intent
GFH have to take in Quality signings ;- (
I agree we were 5pts of relation las yr &
I don't SEE THINGS IMPROVING EITHER
THIS YR.
until i'm proved wrong i'm intitled
to my opinion. Were cannon fodder!

Unless of course, the signing is another centre back?

12.) 27 Jul 2013
Would not be happy to see white leave good squad player

13.) 28 Jul 2013
Sick of all the know all moaners on here. So much has changed since this time last year and still they whinge. "No this no that" "Cannon Fodder" and the season hasn't even started! Just get behind Brian and the guys or take a happy pill because no one can predict how this season will pan out. We don't need the doom merchants dragging our season down before it begins.

14.) 28 Jul 2013
'Unless of course, the signing is another centre back'. If we sold Pearce and brought in another CB we would still only have 2 CBs! We need to bring in a new CB and keep Pearce as cover

15.) 28 Jul 2013
The original poster said he would not post rubbish, but he said 'not sure if its loan or to sell' That does not makes sense whatsoever and is total rubbish. A surprise singing before the start of the season! Wow can you be more vague

16.) 28 Jul 2013
'Flirting with relegation in a month or 2' pretty sure we can't get relegated in September.

17.) 28 Jul 2013
After seeing todays 2 nil defeat I’d put the whole team on the tranfer list. Except we’d get nowt for any of them. I’ve seen some rubbish over the past 10 years. A gutless performance. No passion. I’ll give BMD till Christmas then he’s off. No money. No hope.

18.) 28 Jul 2013
I entered the first reply here. I have followed Leeds since the days of Don Revie. We started last season with no money and no significant signings, but with high hopes for the new manager. We start this season in exactly the same position, except that we have lost two proven goal scorers, and have had a terrible pre-season, the results of which suggest that the team is not good enough, indeed, that it hasn't improved since that undignified scramble to avoid relegation last year. McDermot may be a good manager, and a nice chap, but what do you honestly think he's going to do with players who, it is quite clear, are never going to star in this division and in whom McDermot himself has little faith. As for Bates's departure - good news, but have we gone from the frying pan into the fire? This new lot seem to me like rich boys who have bought a toy that they are not sure how to handle, and which is beginning to bore them.

Prev post : I too commented & made the cannon fodder remark! With kenny in the sticks were in trouble ( past it )
Weve no wingers ( never replaced gradel, snoddy )
& we haven't a guy banging in goals on a regular occurance (proven striker ) Same team as last yr
Only with 3 iffy new signings?
HOW IS THIS A REASON TO BE CHEERFUL & OPTIMISTIC FOR THE NEW SEASON?
Im not looking forward to it & i'm Leeds all my life.
( signal off intent would off been, 2 wingrs a goalie, a CB,
An a proven all out goal scorer to replace Becks (17) he had before been shipped out by COLIN!
TRUTH HURTS, but we is going to be cannon fodder!

I agree with the first and last reply (last at least as I type this), in particular the point about 'means next year not this year' which is exactly what I thought when I read SN's statement. A few points here people. Being analytical of the situation and realistic is not necessarily being negative. I spent my money and afternoon going to Walsall last week and cheered the team on, as I will at various home and away games this season. Not negative. But there is no doubt our team as it stands is simply not good enough. To be promoted from the league we are in, without some sort of one in a hundred year fluke, you need to be better, consistently, than the bottom half of the Prem, and the top half of the Champ. As it stands we are not by a long way. On the other hand, the one thing I am not so sure I totally agree with is that GFH are getting bored and don't know what to do etc. They clearly have no serious money and are not going to get us promoted themselves (still better than Bates of course though). However what they 'may' be able to do, is get in an investor who has, or a joint venture with someone else, or a major corporate deal like the Red Bull rumour (of which I have no idea if that's true or not), or even just another minority stake which could do anything from giving another mil to us, up to giving us major funds. They have a damn site better chance of doing this than Bates ever did. But that's where your two years comes from, as it is not going to happen (if it happens at all) in this window.

We could do with two new CBs. A permanent and a loan to provide cover and competition. A couple of our fullbacks can play centre (Warnock, for instance) but shouldn't be relied on, there.
Can't see Pearce leaving unless we're replacing. He's certainly not the worst we've had back there and availability of good or better CBs is not exactly high.
Yet another season of defensive issues seems almost inevitable.
