Stewart to sign in the next few days followed by Gradel or Mackay Stevens. DJ Campbell will also sign in the window and Brian Mcdermott will also look at Liam Trotter. He will also try to get a fifth player in and that will be Luke Chambers from Ipswich. His team will be:
Kenny

Byram, Zaliukas, Chambers, Warnock

Stewart, Mowatt, Austin, Gradel or Mackay Stevens

Campbell, McCormack

Not a chance that is happening, be surprise if we sign any of them other than Stewart.

The same DJ Campbell on bail for match fixing? No thanks.

GMS would be good though and we need a replacement for Austin.

No way will we sign another centre back after signing zalukias and wootton . What we desperately need is a quality winger with genuine pace a creative midfielder who can make things happen and a strong centre forward who can chip in with goals

I wouldn't be surprised to see another CH, competition is required for Austin not necessarily a replacement and not Campbell.

5.) 05 Jan 2014
@Jayeg. Gary Mackay-Steven, Ed Upson and Chris Wood or John Guidetti.

@Scoops. I don't think Austin is good enough, but being captain means he has to start every game.

Surely we have enough cover in the centre back area lees, Pearce, wootton, zalukias and also peltier who can fill . We are also overloaded in the left back area Pugh, warnock, white and drury surely 4 left backs is too many . I think whoever we sign in this window really needs to add something to the first 11!

Ive got to get me one of those crystal balls - you can't give me the lottery numbers can you? - if we sign a striker, a defensive midfield, and a couple of creative midfielders I would be happy

8.) 05 Jan 2014
Would definitely be happy with Chris wood big, strong a bit like Matt smith but has a first touch can bring players into the game and also knows where the net is unlike smith . Think this window is going to really show how ambitious we are!

why are people slagging smith off he's got 7 goals this season, he would get more if we had a winger who could cross the ball. 90% of the times he gets the ball he has his back to goal with a centre-half facing he ball. Give the kid a break.

I like Matt Smith, think he's a good player and scored goals for us this season. I just don't think he's a starter in every game and I would like a third option to call upon in attack. Heard murmurings that Leicester might look at selling Chris Wood since he can't get in the team, was rumoured with the dog botherers on Twitter.

11.) 05 Jan 2014
I like Matt Smith too. Tactical decisions to completely avoid our midfield and hope that Matt Smith can track down every ball and hold up play . is not Matt Smith's fault.

We don't need another CB. We have 3 good ones, and a team in the thick of the playoff chase isn't going to sell to us.

As for Gradel, if we get him, I hope it's a loan with a view to a permanent signing. He's played 271 minutes this season and can't be match-fit, versus Mackay-Steven, who has started 15 matches in the SPL.

Hope we can also get rid of the fringe guys too. MOT.

Matt smith is not a first choice striker of a top 6 side in the championship! He might have 7 goals but with the chances he has had and missed should have 17 . I think he is a good option to bring on if your chasing the game!

13.) 06 Jan 2014
Jayeg, you hit the nail right on the head

We are not a top six side in the championship at the moment

as other posters have said the majority of balls he gets have come 50 yards and he has his back to goal.

Of our 4 shots on target on saturday two were his I believe. So why not give the guy a break, or turn up with your boots on Saturday mate.

Whether Brian got his tactics wrong or not, the players are at fault. Not hungry enough and outplayed by players supposedly only good enough for two divisions lower.

We were fortunate that we didn't have a west ham scoreline.

Matt smith has by far been 1 of our best players this season. someone said he should have 17 goals lol sorry but if he scored every chance he wouldn't be playing in the championship would he! ross knows how to score but he's been terrible in the last 4 or 5 games. I said it last season and still feel the same. our att is fine and our defence and gk is fine its our weak pathetic midfield that don't do a thing. austin is the most selfish player iv seen at leeds, he needs telling to pass and quit shooting your not a st and murphy needs to man up and make a tackle.

Firstly, DJ Campbell is no way going to happen, the abuse our fans gave him on New Years Day was unbelievable.

And in the response to the post above, our midfield is decent when on form, austin is one of the best midfielders in the league on his day without a doubt, murphy and mowatt are young and constantly improving, can't just expect them to come in to the team and be first class really, and we do need another striker to replace smith, he's better coming on as a sub I think.
