Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

It's my firm belief that with the signing of Murphy, Smith, Wooton and potentially other young up and coming players to go with the young quality we already have such as Byram, Lee's and Poleon as well as the statement "we are looking long term" that we will not be making a push this or next year but will be a stamping our mark in years to come. I am prepared to wait but if it comes sooner all the better. In either case let's sick together this time round . MOT

I agree slightly and yes they are young but there not like 17/18 there in there twenties already they have had 4/5yrs experience playing, I think this year might come to soon (but I do think well be up there challenging) but next year could well be the year, especially with a few more signings during this season and post season

Agree0 Disagree0

Ah well another tenner and will have to watch the QPR game in the pub!
Bang on with the LU prediction though. Great result today lads.

What do you all think, Villa, Norwich & W'ham to win in a 4 x £2.50 trixie? If all come in that'll be £190 and it'll pays for our trip for the QPR game.
In GFH & McD I trust.

Not sure about villa

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure about any of them but good luck pal.

Danny LS8

Agree0 Disagree0

Iam on that

Agree0 Disagree0

Breakdown on Bills; Villa are now 10/3, both norwich & w'ham 21/10. A £2.50 trixie returns £196 if all come in. See you all at the QPR game (hopefully!)
Villa at home, have had a good start and beat l'pool at Anfield last season.
BTW LU to win over 2.5 goals is 4/1. 1 of my 10 betting commandments is thou shall not bet on your own team but that seems a knocking bet.

Agree0 Disagree0

As I found out against sheff wed. Thou shall not back either an early kick off or my own team. I broke that and suffered on my acca

I personally would prefer us to sell McCormack and get Sharp on loan with Vaz Te and Gary McKay Stevens on the wings. If we sell a key player but then bring in 3 better class players then its a win win.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

They are all good (ish) players in their own right but none of 'em are better class than Ross

I'm starting to get a little bit concerned about our wage bill, ideally you want two players for each position then a utility player for Def, Mid & Att. Going by that, we need to get rid of Drury, Pugh, Norris, White and Diouf!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Me too. Its great gfh are buying without selling but we really do need to drop 4-5 off the wages.

Agree0 Disagree0

rather keep mccormack than bring in sharp has never got more than 15 in the championship where as mccormack was second to lambert two seasons a go we just need him on form and happy unlike last season with warnock playing him out wide

Can anyone tell me what happened to motherwell's Humphrey? I saw a while back we were looking at him for a pacey wideman.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think grayson sighned him for preston nxx ends mate . Mot

Agree0 Disagree0

He went to blackpool mate

Agree0 Disagree0

He signed for preston

Agree0 Disagree0

Ah fair enough! Somehow missed that - was he out of contract? What a missed opportunity.

Do you reckon there's anything in the Gradel rumours? Where there's smoke.

Can someone clear this up for me. Where is it mentioned that wooton signed for 1 million. Why would we do this if he is only a month to month contract at man utd? Also wouldn't the club publicise this - get a few more tickets sold reenforcing the end if the gates era? Surely the million is just the amount we will be paying in wages over the course of his 3 year contract? {Ed013's Note - He didn't sign for a million, it was a small fee with add ons mate}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Cheers ED. Thought as much. Obviously, as a club, we'd be singing it to the rafters, right?

Dan Archway {Ed013's Note - Exactly, i'm not saying that the fee may never rise to 1 million, depends on the sell on clause mate}

Agree0 Disagree0

a web site reporting a £1 million fee - is it April 1st already?



2103:

FOOTBALL

Leeds sign Manchester United defender Scott Wootton on a three-year deal for a reported fee of £1m.

The 21-year-old has had spells on loan with Tranmere, Peterborough (twice) as well as Nottingham Forest.

I know it's is nothing to do with transfers but rumours on twitter that elland road might be getting them electronic advertising boards round the pitch and getting leather seats in the dugouts I think elland road would look far better with them and would probably save money in the long term

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Can have more sponsors too. don't see it happening unless we're in the Prem though!

Mcd on a winger now
Forget mills. Relax pelts!
Forget sharp. Relax rossi boy!
Getting a bit nervous about the size of wage bill, would really like to get 3-4 out.
What winger I wonder. Saw you g winger from liverpool mentioned recently. Whoever it is, I reckon he will be young.

"Every player's first question is 'do you play in the Champions League or not?' That is the first requirement.
This is a quote from Arse Wenger, maybe this is why we are having difficulties signing Sharp, CMS etc and found it so easy to sign the likes of Seth Johnson and Frank Strandli.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Some of the old players used to make me cringe watching them, strandli laurel was one. Molenar etc etc. have to laugh now though

Agree0 Disagree0

Molenar?. How dare you call The Terminator. He was a proper centre half. Next you will be saying Roque Junior was a world cup winner!. what?he was?. never!

I think McCormack is playing a very clever game, he will go that's for certain but will leave with the reason I wanted to sign New contract but we couldn't reach an aggreement.everybody think back to when Chelsea were interested in Rooney, all of a sudden he was asking for the world holding the to ransom because he knew he could get it elsewhere, I think Ross knows he could get a better deal at Boro so therefore he's using that as a bartering tool to get a better deal with leeds.people ask yourself would he be asking for a new deal if nobody was interested in him, of course he wouldn't, so is he holding the club to ransom?, yes because he now knows he can get better somewhere else.he says he is settled and happy but he will give all that up for an extra few thousand pound a week because the wife will demand he does, and let's not forget about his agent in all this, nice chance to make himself s few quid lsgood luck Ross on your way your not bigger than the club, and hello billy sharp auaranteed 20+ goals a season man

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hes not going he's signing a new deal. Where is this sharp rumour coming from because gfh or bm have never mentioned him. vinny.

Agree0 Disagree0

I was nodding my head to your comments to begin with. Yes he is using this for his own gain. But he will stay. We don't have to sell him don't forget we have him for 3 years. Where you lost me was you stupid comments about his wife demanding more money. How the hell do you know that, that type of comment is what will pi** him off. Secondly know one is a GUARANTEE to score you goals so let's not put all our eggs in one basket yeah

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont give him a better deal. Keep him and run the contract down. If we get promoted, he will sign on our terms then. In 2 years time i'm hoping $2mill won't mean that much to us

Agree0 Disagree0

Bit of a flawed arguement:
1) would he be wanting more cash if people didn't want him?
A) No. But the fact is he is playing well and has earned a new deal.
2) he's not married
3) he'll definitely stay. He said so himself!
4) show me where & when Billy Sharp regularly scored 20+ in championship

Agree0 Disagree0

To be honest the lack of players in speaks for its self, little or no funds to improve the team. The situation is not helped with previous managers over paying rubbish eg Pugh, norris, pelts, and Morrison.
Let's hope a few are signed in the next two weeks a striker and maybe a winger would be good!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

R u having a laff. we have signed 2 players young. Hungry and costca million each. we don't have spend millions to show intent.

Agree0 Disagree0

Need to get rid of players first.

Just reading on newsnow and McDermott want one maybe two wingers that sounds good to me, not sure on the pelts mills swap because I don't think mills is a quality centre back but I could be wrong and with pelts I've seen good games and bad games but I think Colin is talking b******* when he said he's a roll Royce.
