Just thought I'd post that I was right about the new away kit being navy blue as posted the other day! The proof is on LUFC's official twitter account, it will also have some gold, however whether this is just trimmings or shorts or what I am unsure!

The Red Bull blue as in the formula 1 racing team colours

Where is it I can't seem to see it anywhere online.

I'd there any picture of it.

Where can I see it ed everyone keeps going on about it being navy and gold like the pics on lufc twitter page but I think that's our training shirt.

With leeds saying we need a new keeper, wonder what everyone thinks about lee camp? Free agent, and I don't think he has had the opportunity to really prove himself! He had that immense season at forest where people were saying he is the best in division and he is now a free agent, only 28, I'd definately be taking a look

Matt

Thanks Lee

Doubt he would join us just to sit on the bench

Hes terrible.

How can you say what the starting line up will be when, we don't even know how many more player will be brought in.

I up it does look a little different to the one's above, too much like last seasons team!

Murphy cost us 1million
And if you think about it we could of brought in free midfielder and do you really think GFH capital will spend 1million on on player and have no Money to after that


So question does GFH capital have money ready to spend?
I believe they do

Lets hope this treasure hunt that superfan haigh aka publicity Dave is running has some new players at the end of it?

Why haven't they spent it then?

They have money to spend but they are only prepared to spend big on young players who have potential. They have shown this and they have also shown they are not prepared to spend big on players who have reached their peak. When they turned down matt mils for 1 million and instead wanted a loan
They are clever business minded people who are quite obviously not prepared to waste money on players with no potential which is why our transfer window has been like this so far. With the exception of noel hunt.
A lot of championship clubs have taken advantage of league one and two players not signing new contracts.
Adam chicksen to brighton on the cheap
Richard wood a leeds fan to charlton
Alan judge to Blackburn
Etc etc
Brian has signed better players than these lot and most other championship clubs and we have more to come

Yes I do think they have money but wnt b spending over 1 mill 4 anyone. alf no chance, gms no chance.

My predicted ins and outs:

Ins:
Kasper Gorkks - £200,000 (Wolves/Reading not sure)
Chris Forrester - £75,000 (St. Pats)
Gary Mackay Steven - £1.2 million (Dundee Utd)

Outs:
Pugh - £150,000 (Sheff Wed)
Norris - £150,000 (Sheff Wed)
Pearce - £350,000 (Bournemouth)
Brown - free (Sheff Utd)

-MS

I would take all three 'Ins', however I think Gorkss & Forrester would maybe cost a little more, likewise why sell Pearce for £350,000, when we only bought him last season for £500,000; young for a centre back as well at 25 and has potential to get better. Bournemouth would at least have to match the money we payed for him.
Pugh & Norris are probably two McDermott is definately looking to ship off, however I would add Drury to the list, but not sure who would want him.

I wish. But over 2 mil on two players for our midfield and by the looks of it a huge chunk of our budget on two untested at this level? Bit of a gamble. I think with murphy comin in and if we are to spend 7 figures on a wide man it might be on someone who has championship experience. (Adomah type) but how good is GMS? If he that great why aren't Celtic going for him? Has anyone actually seen him play on a regular basis? (Not the same you tube vid over an over)

Also if we have been playing Pugh as cb in preseason. U think Brian might want to plug that hole first?

Hope so

Gorkss is out of contract

Brown not going he signed a new deal Afew months ago.

Got friends who are SWFC fans and they said your probably wrong with them signing the players you said. You might be right about Pugh, although they have recently bought players in his position so looking less likely. However Norris won't be going there, first he rejected them last year and has proved in a season with us that he can't hack it in the championship. Apparently SWFC are looking to sell central midfielders themselves so can't see them buying Norris.

Norris ain't going nowhere, by miles a key player 4 us, pearce will b at leeds, brown is going nowhere, pugh maybe but not to wednesday they loaned him and dnt rate him. gorkks will b a league 1 player. gms 2 good 4 us

How the hell is gms to good for us have you seen which team he plays for

Yeah I have kone played 4 wigan dnt mean that was his level. gms is far 2 good and will want a prem move, look at pilkington at norwich very overated so if he's in the prem so can gms be.

"Brown not going he signed a new deal Afew months ago. "

Doesn't mean Leeds can't sell him?

Yeah it does as he's old clumsy and shockingly poor, no 1 will want him when they have 2 pay 4 him jeeze think about it!

In my opinion I think Leeds will struggle this season still no real investement and we have bought very average players and the money spent on murphy is done over a period of time fact so nothing as really changed, really like the new gaffer hope he does well

Kill the optimism why don't you.

I don't think we will struggle, if that was so we would be looking at relegation.

our team is slightly stronger with our 3 additions I would say. We may get play offs as the league so unpredictable but at the moment I think top half of mid-table, I do not think we will struggle though

Aren't you optimistic! Everything wrong with Leeds atm.

"our team is slightly stronger with our 3 additions I would say"

You forgot to mention we also have a manager this year rather than a pilchard.

2nd poster here, to the fourth poster, very good point but I just thought that would be implied :). But thanks for pointing that out

I think leeds will win the title.
We have the best manager in a long time. He obviously has to win something to warrant that, but I am highly optimistic by what he says, the changes he has made and the club uniting behind him.
We have a new central midfield player who voted as best player in league 1, who can tackle and play. I think CM was the most important position to fill. We might have a few midfielders but they are not footballers players they are grafters. We have grafters and ball winners such as green and Austin. We have an exceptional talent in diouf who although older and slower can nuture the kids. I think we can probably credit diouf for helping bring on bryam. Doofus best position for me was right wing ahead of bryam.
We have a good all round team with good youth coming through and mediocre players that will play better football under mcd.
Gfh has invested in the club and although I would like to see a left winger which I think is our weakest position I am optimistic enough to say we would finish in the top 6 with the team we have now.

On OS; BMcD possibly going back to Slovenia ( with squad ) for pre season 2014 -2015; never been there would be a nice holiday for missus! Lol

Getting a bit fed up of the ridiculous and blatantly made up rumours on here.
Mackay-Steven won't be joining because we don't need an injury prone left winger. We've already got White & Hall.
Wabara won't sign because we aren't selling Byram.

Look at the teams McDermott has put out in pre-season. He's after a centre back!

Ed0013 said we are strongly rumoured to be signing mackay. So I agree with ed over u :)

No its not true about gms being injury prone he's never bloody injured. quality player but I dnt think we are good 4 him he can get better

Yes it is true about his injuries he suffered a really bad one while playing for liverpool U18s that's why they released him

That dnt mean he's injury prone
