Now that Ryan Hall has signed and with a view to a permanent deal shows that there will be money in Januay which surely means the takeover will happen. If it happens now or December it makes no difference as we can't spend money until January, so Leeds fans sit tight and enjoy what's happening on the pitch and the takeover will come, we're sat next to the play offs, so we shouldn't be relying on a takeover were playing well! Keep the faith and bring on 3 points tomorrow! Leeds Leeds Leeds! PickersLUFC

To me it sounded like hall would only be on the bench for now as warnock was saying how hes not sure if he will make it or not in this league but has something different to offer when he comes on

Im a little concerned about ryan hall- the kind is undoubtedly talented but his off the field issues, as well as his attitude in his final weeks at Southend sound very disrespectful to me. Of course, I'm perfectly happy to give the lad a chance, just if he turns out a gem, we could just become the next southend on his career list but in Warnock i trust, the lad hasn't done anything wrong for leeds at all but just keep an eye on him is what im saying

I wouldn't worry mate, if NW can tame EHD then he can tame this kid, he'll be awesome you'll see.

Already we have a song lined up for him.Ryan Hall Ryan Hall, going down the wing , Ryan Hall Ryan Hall etc.
Welcome to your new home Ryan. Morley Whites.

Does the name diouf ring any bells if it does good now what do hall and him have in common and has warnock sorted dioufy yes he has pretty sure he can do the same with ryan hall
Agree10
Disagree0
In fairness to Warnock one of his main attributes as a manager seems to be his ability to consider a guy's football talent above a guy's human frailties. Reminds me of Martin O'Neill who tamed and turned a good few 'bad boys' into legends at both Leicester and Celtic.
Agree9
Disagree0
I think warnock has been clever with this, he knows the root of his previous issues as mentioned in an interview Hall was a young lad who grew up in london so would of had a lot of lads who didnt have much going for them hanging around a professional footballer. You can just imagine how nights out could end. Take him away from familiar surroundings, he has matured and can now just focus on his football with no distractions! I think he is going to do well but may take a bit of time to grow and get use to the league.

Can't wait for tomorrow's match, should be a great atmosphere with around 5000 Leeds fans. Hopefully this can spur us on and we get a result 3-2 Leeds I'm going for becchio to score first.

I am a LUFC fan,have been 40yrs.and for 39 of them years EVERY time Mighty Leeds have played ive thought we'd win.that is until the start of last season when i started losing the FAITH,after KB once again failed to back our then manager SG with any money in the transfer market.Even though we lost some good players.not replacing the players left us back peddling for most of the season,even when Grayson WAS made a scapegoat and SGT Warnock came in, all and sundry were coming to Elland Road and walking away laughing like f**k with 3 points.HANDS UP!,I LOST THE FAITH!!so i stopped going sick of giving Bates my hard earned cash.But there i was sat at home watching the Everton Heroics(like im sure other Leeds fans were)when i thought WTF am i doing?????????? THERES ONLY ONE PERSON WHO FEELS THE PAIN BOYCOTTING GAMES...YOU!you miss watching the team you LOVE.How does that make sense?answer..IT DOESNT.and i wont miss any more games through boycotting.LEEDS UNTIL I DIE,BEFORE AND AFTER KEN BATES.MOT..P.S CHEERS SGT WARNOCK for returning THE FAITH...

Hope to see the hall deal concluded today in time for tomorrow. Id like to see George Boyd come in too then i would play Austin and Norris in the middle. Boyd on the left hall on the right with diouf just in behind becchio. It would be all bechhios christmases at once with that kind of service. Then id like to see Charlie austin come in in january. exciting times ahead......i think we have all been patient enought now.

Everyone saying that GFH have no money, GFH put £2mil into Leeds whilst talks were ongoing, do you really think Bates would of paid for any of the fees out of his own pocket.
If they only have about £800,000 in their bank how could they give that to us?
Think before you post!
Believable6

I think you may find that most of the transfers in were funded by the Snograss out transfer?
Agree10
Disagree6
I think you will find only that the snodgrass sale only covered like Peltier and Pearce and only 150k spare from the sale after just them 2 players alone then you have kenny 500k Varney 300k Austin 300k etc..
Agree1
Disagree4
I think you will clearly find that bates has invested naff all again this summer and he will continue to get away with it until the bates lovers finally wake up and realise the man is a crook now is the time to make a stance against the chelsea we need him out!

Why oh why are we not looking at David Bentley?!
Apparently he maybe joining MK Dons when he leaves Rostock.
The man is a fantastic player, and would be a wonderful addition to our team.
He should be the kind of player we should at least be trying for, not a Southend player. Not that I have anything against him, or know much about him, but I seriously doubt he's in the same league as Bentley.
Believable6
Unbelievable15
All about cash. Bentley still thinks he's the dogs danglies. He's gunna want a big wedge. Would rather have the hungrier player myself.
Agree16

What did David Bentley do last season? compared to this 'southend player' that got more assists than anyone else in the football league as well as being top scorer for his club with 14 goals? I can see your logic mate.
Agree4

Wasn't he gonna be the next David Beckham? Only thing he has in common with becks is that he too loves himself...

I agree not sure about hall,but bentley?
hes done nothing for years,few good games thats it.he like asking for alan smith to come back.
id rather see boyd or etherington...shrew leeds

Why has 2nd reply put 'southend player', he is actually a southend player.
