Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

Not only transfer movement over the summer but if we keep snoddy Id like him to get a bit more pace as he is rather slow for a winger and get becchio back to full fitness.

Believable7 Unbelievable3

Becchio and snodgrass would be super if they had pace

Agree1 Disagree1

Why are some of you saying Jason Pearce is rubbish? Look at the facts: if Portsmouth weren't deducted 10 points they wouldn't have gone down, if they didn't go into administration they wouldn't have lost a few of there best players on loan, such difficult circumstances he had to play in if you ask me.

If these Bambara rumours are true then maybe after the Leeds v Leicester game there may be some movement?

Pacey Attacker.
Saido Berahino from West Brom.
Has almost a 1 in 2 games/goal ratio. Played at england under 16,17,18,19,20 level. 28 games-13 goals.
18 years old. Super confident and plays like has no fear (resembles a young Scott Sinclair).
Only problem is the champ defs will kick lumps out of him and out muscle him. Could be worth a short loan for a look though.
Frees worth a shot, Paul Taylor & Neil Mellor
MOT

Believable6 Unbelievable0

Paul Taylor, maybe worth a shot, Neil Mellor should be shot

Beckford's scored again tonight. Let's have him back.

Believable13 Unbelievable8

Don't want him back, left us for free by not signing a contract for 'prem football' and ended up back in the same league as us. I have no time for people that hold football clubs to ransom this way ( my opinion )

Agree4 Disagree8

"Holding clubs to Ransom"! Getting offered double your money to play Prem football is surely any players dream. Beckford was great for us and played till the end! He may have ended up in the same league but he's paid handsomely for it! Fair play to the bloke for earning as much as he can, and we all know we'd do te same given the chance - some people are deluded into thinking that because it's Football loyalty should play a part; but money can talk in every other fact of life!

Beckford would be welcomed back by me any day of the week!

Agree8 Disagree3

Grow up mate, it's the way of the world nowadays. I don't blame Beckford for chasing the money, don't forget it's not too long since he worked as a breakdown recovery driver!

The man is a Leeds legend in my opinion and was treated very harshly by many fans considering the amount of goals he scored in the white shirt.

He's got pace and he can finish. He'll definitely score on Saturday against our defence.

Agree10 Disagree3

Scored a bloody great goal.....
Beckford welcome back any day!

Agree6 Disagree2

Grow up ? LMFAO.......I don't blame him for chasing the money, I just don't want him back FFS......like my post said.....my opinion.......PS he will never be a legend at Leeds, he's gone and forgotten.

Agree2 Disagree6

Yes mate, grow up. We'd still be in League One if it wasn't for Beckford. It wouldn't surprise me if you're one of the Alan Finished Smith lovers.

Agree5 Disagree2

Beckford IS a Leeds legend, simple as. Any player who plays such a huge part in a Leeds promotion has to be.

Agree4 Disagree0

Next season team?
Lonergan
Lees M.Connolly Pearce Robinson
Clayton Green
Snodgrass Gradel
Becchio Mccormack

Believable1 Unbelievable12

We need someone with pace up front,we are too predictable at the moment

Agree7 Disagree0

What's with the gradel rubbish all the time. If we resign max I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong to say it is rubbish....but we are NOT going to get max back! It's a bit like the smith and beckford nonsense as well...people obsessed with the past. We need better than these lot and someone new and exciting.

Agree8 Disagree5

I'd love Gradel & Beckford back. Why not? Smith, on the other hand, you can shove right where the sun doesn't shine!

Agree13 Disagree6

I'd welcome all 3.

Agree4 Disagree3

23 Apr 2012 19:24:11
Wow loadsa rumours here. We only need 3 or 4 to go up i reckon. Def rock mid rock and a fb. Most wud disgree i know but imo we just need a strong spine and maybe a change in tactics....mot.

next season
1st leeds 92 pts
2nd blacburn 88 pts
3rd blackpool 80 pts
4th birmingham 80 pts
5th charlton 73pts
6th cardiff 72pts

3 down to league 1....bolton, huddersfield, bristol city.

Believable3 Unbelievable11

Bolton will never go down

Agree4 Disagree2

Pompy did, as did we, as did soton and charlton.

Agree5 Disagree0

By the look of the original post Blackpool will be playing in both the premier and championship

Agree1 Disagree1

How about leon best from Newcastle he not getting in worth a try be better than becchio.

Believable18 Unbelievable11

Great shout lets hope we can get him Gj

Agree9 Disagree9

No thanks, would much rather have Becchio.

Agree9 Disagree8

Chris Martin
Kevin Davies
massimo Maccarone
would be better options for a becchio replacement.
He'd be better than Heskey; that said though I would also value a blind man with his Labrador a better option than Heskey

Agree0 Disagree6

Yup heskey is just awful, how he played for england i will never know.

Agree4 Disagree3

What's this about a Becchio replacement? He's going nowhere I'm pleased to say.

Agree11 Disagree3

If we get Best, i hope to God he doesnt wear his superhero mask.

Agree0 Disagree3

Hes not getting a shout because hes been injured

Agree1 Disagree4

If best comes in he wont replace becchio but would play alongside him and mccormack would be moved out wide

Agree3 Disagree2

23 Apr 2012 12:02:46
I reckon Alan Smith can still do a job for us. We all know he loves the club. If his drive can rub off on the team i think we will be Champs next season

Believable13 Unbelievable22

Agreed

Agree6 Disagree19

Worth a gamble if hes cheap!!!

Agree8 Disagree16

For goodness sake, are you all p*ssed? or is it the same sad ******* who keeps agreeing with himself? he's not even been playing every game for the mk dons!

alan finished smith is not needed at elland road! stop talking drivel!

Agree17 Disagree4

If warnock wants him lets have him he would lift the team

Agree6 Disagree12

He costs nothing as he's out of contract so why not just take him on trial for pre season and see how it goes from there.

Agree7 Disagree9

Idiots! We don't need Alan Finished Smith.

Agree12 Disagree4

Chill out. I'm bored of it too but don't have to insult people

Agree1 Disagree10

23 Apr 2012 11:19:22
The best Alan Smith can hope for next year with a return to Elland Road is buying a season ticket ! But with the price of them I doubt his League 1 wages will cover that.

He's not good enough. Promising youngster but that is it. Start looking towards the future and leave the past in the past. Better players around these days. (Nothing against Alan Smith btw, just thinks its time these rumours stopped.)

Believable18 Unbelievable7

You'll never get rid of the Smithy rumours, there'll be about until he retires, and then he'll be linked with the managers job, wasted a post you did!

Agree7 Disagree8

All these people who keep persisting about Alan Finished Smith are either on a wind-up or mentally ill. He's finished. We don't want him. End of.

Agree12 Disagree4

I still think hes a better cf than cm, he just runs around getting booked like michael brown. I reckon to have him round could lift spirits, he is as good a player as what we have apart from snoddy.

Agree3 Disagree9

Why would a past-it never-has-been lift spirits? Stop talking rubbish!

Agree7 Disagree2

Finished Smith isn't even playing every game for a League One side. We are a Championship club who want promotion to the Premiership. Go figure!

Agree6 Disagree1

23 Apr 2012 08:14:02
Just seen the names mentioned by many on here but in terms of opositions i think we need.
1.RB
1.LB
3.CB's or (keep Bruce and Lees as back ups and sign 2.)
2.CM.
1.LW/RW
1.CF.
That for me is a bare minimum all to start and maybe 1 or 2 more to top up the squad and if you look at the players out of contract we could easily sign all of them within our budget and get some real quality.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

So a whole team then?! lol! {Ed020's Note - haha basically yeah, a whole new team}

Agree4 Disagree0

We do need a whole new team though if we want to go up

Agree8 Disagree1

I would bring in a full new defense of a high quality keep bruce and lees to fight for a place and prove themselves . we then need a different type of cm player a strong tackling defensive midfield player that can receive and release the ball fast .we should also try to get high quality cover for cm that has decent defensive quality .
................................
squad i would keep that has been used this season
lonergan
lees
white
bruce
thompson
snoddy
clayton
pugh (utility player )
nunez (maybe )
rogers
webber (not a starter but shows some quality)
mccormack
becchio
sommer (defo got to keep him and hope for the best ,wouldn't like to see him on the opposite team)

Agree2 Disagree1

23 Apr 2012 07:38:56
Chris Gunter
Zat Knight
Jason Pearce
Luke Varney
Hayden Mullins
Adam Hammill
Wesley Hoolahan

Afew of these boys & I would be happy

Sydney Leeds

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Gunter, pearce,mullins and varney are the only realistic ones htere. good shouts for those, though.

Agree1 Disagree1

Gunter hates Leeds. He makes it so obvious, no respect for us. Rather not

Agree3 Disagree0

Saha and Eagles?! Are you joking?! Of we got them we would destroy this league with our current squad
