Seems I'm in a minority of people worrying that MC must have a hell of a line up of transfers ready to come in or we will be short on numbers, also worried about getting a team of anglo italians to gel in time for the new season. You can't just throw a load of strangers on a pitch & expect them to play well, know where each other are and play on same wavelength. Pre ssn is for that tbh even though there will be many games to try formations etc it will take all of them and more imo. This is a big risk especially with the school gym master showing them the way inenglish.
This could backfire badly if we start badly. I'm glad some of the dead wood is gone although having a transfer embargo is causing us grief.I hope I'm not the only one with concerns here because if MCs ideas don't work we'll need a plan B fast

To be honest, the state in which we played last season it can't exactly get any worse. I think they ll be fine. Just keep hold of the ball :)

Why is everyone moaning and panicking? We have ages till the start of next season, we will have a squad of young talent and a few Italians. I even think we will get a couple of decent ones from the lower leagues. Cellino has money to spend and he is going about everything the right way. MOT

Youngsters, shockers & Italians that can speak a word! Premier league here we come?

Please stop all this moaning.
MC has paid millions for us already and more to come.
He's made it clear the club will be profitable before he goes forward.
If you spent millions wouldn't you want to see a profit.
We will do well next season losing much dead weight and some good players but we will finish next season very strong and ER will be feared again.
Let's face it 15 th last season with a massive overpaid squad was a disgrace .
We haven't kicked a ball yet and listen to all the moans and groans.
MOT Massimo

Totally agree Astori. Also excellent article on nn The Mirror - Leeds United to charge players to play and train, lmfao

Well said astori. MOT.

Astori I agree. Love this site love LUFC love the fans but b*gger me most of the moans on here are from people who would complain they only bought one winning lotto ticket and not two.

Guys get a grip of yourselves. Do any of you think MC wants us to do bad? Do you really think we will be starting the season with not enough players to fill a team? What planet are you all from. Get behind him guys stop the whining and let's all march on together

Spain - you're spot on.
All last season the moans were about too much dead wood. Now we're seeing progress in getting rid, it's happening too quick - beggars belief

We can't sign new players until the embargo is lifted- simple as!
I for one feel really positive.

Astori-Vid-Con-Spain

Thanks guys I was pondering NOT using this site anymore, really really peed off at how many sad, moaning people that just criticise, criticise and criticise.
MC has come in reduced operating costs and tightened things up, nobody likes change but we've been doing the same thing for over a decade and it's not worked.
MC whether you succeed or fail I for one LOVE the transformation and the passion you have brought back to Leeds, it's been missing for the last 20yrs tks.

{Ed003's Note - it's not the sites fault people were feeling negative Andy lol, onwards and upwards moaning on together ;-) }

You can't bail out Andy, now more than ever we need all the positivity we can muster MOT!

Cheers Degsy, ED I'm not blaming the site mate, EVERYBODY deserves to be heard, I for one upset a lot of people because I print what I feel and believe and don't think about the consequences.

I've never heard so many people moan though and it's pathetic.
Last season they wanted to get rid of dead wood, MC comes in does it and guess what!
The so called Leeds fans still moaning, we've NOT kicked a ball yet under the new regime and moan moan moan.


Rant over keep up the good work ED ;)

{Ed003's Note - I find you a great poster Andy- this is what the talk/banter site is about to let your feelings known( I should know I shoot from the hip) the thing is with being an ed for a few years now I have seen how posters feelings change so quick ( on all the sites) next week you might sign 10 players(if the embargo is lifted which I read today it should sorry if that's been sorted already I've been busy) and then a wave of delusional positivity will start and everyone will slate Ross for leaving and you are better off without him blah blah - It's just how fans are, keep up the posts and stop friggin moaning ;) }

Lol
Ok ED tks I will take my yellow card and frame it, might be worth something in the future only ever seen red ones on this site ha ha

{Ed001's Note - if it was worth anything, Ed003 would not be giving it away, trust me! They say people from Yorkshire are tight, but that is only because they are not comparing them with Ed003!!}

ED lol is he that bad?
Will keep an eye on the visa bill he might have charged me ;)

{Ed001's Note - let's put it this way, he doesn't go to Poundland because there is a 99p shop.}

Players leaving like rats scurrying away from a sinking ship. Soon won't be able to put a full team out at this rate. No concrete sign of any new players coming in. Because of the transfer embargo. When the hell ia going to be lifted ed? Seems No obvious reason why it shouldn't be lifted. I keep asking this question. But none been posted yet x

{Ed001's Note - I don't know when it will be lifted, it has been discussed mate. Leeds have to request it being removed and then the FA look at it. I see no reason why it was not done today, but I don't know if Leeds would have even been able to put the paperwork together and submit it that quickly. It really depends on what documentation is required.}

ssn reporting that Stephen Warnock is free to leave despite having a year left to run on his contract.

Stewart signs for Ipswich. apparently Leeds and Leicester miss out in the 'race' for his signature. Not sure how hard we were driving towards the finish line.

This annoys me, yet another player who joined a sinking ship of a side and couldn't perform. He's much better than that, I've seen him play some really good games. He'll go to Ipswich & play a blinder at ER like they all do. Should have kept him imo

Agree slough
Think players get nervous when being boooed by the fans, well so called fans plenty in ere slagging players/coaches off before we've even kicked a ball.
These people probably go to 4 or 5 home matches and think they know it all!

They make me sick I think it's PATHETIC

Stewart was just not good enough to take us forward as a team to challenge for promotion, he had no great pace, he did not get physically involved and has a poor record of scoring goals I am glad he has gone, we need to get better players than that, and hopefully we will soon

I ain't banging my own drum here but I think paddy Kenny is past it, I'm 25 and play in goal in the Saturday leagues and probably better than Kenny. I wouldn't even ask for the wages that Kenny gets if happily play for leeds for what I'm earning now which is roughly a grand a month. To me playin for a club like leeds would b a dream come true and those who play should be privaledged to put the shirt on. I ain't the best keeper in the world let alone england but I know when to step up and put your body on the line for your club no matter if you get hurt lol

"I ain't banging my own drum here but I think paddy Kenny is past it, "

He couldn't pass anything at the moment, carrying all that weight.

Haha well said

Kenny could have a future - as a body double for a hippo in wildlife documentaries .

Any one seen the article in daily m xxxxr? According to them we are in a worse state than ever. And still no sign of transfer embargo being lifted. Hope its just scare mongering. I know the papers hate us

Why bother, you know the bun, the snail and the morror are all anti Leeds and will print whatever rubbish they want.

. you really think Leeds would have jetted off to Italy if they couldn't afford the basics?

(. actually they have left Paddy Kenny behind to wash the kit. !)

Wash his own because its too big to fit in the washing machine
