Club statement. ALLEGED BREACH OF FA AGENCY REGULATIONS. Massimo is appealling his guilty verdict. No surprise at that. Hate to think, what percentage, of clubs turnover goes to legal fee's. Unless he is paying the fight himself.Then again without him? MOT

Good luck to Mowatt, but if he's as good as some fans are saying why has he gone to Barnsley and not a PL club?
28 Jan 2017 10:09:06
And for so little money.
28 Jan 2017 11:27:37
I've got a feeling he'll do well at Barnsley, then they'll sell him for a big profit.
28 Jan 2017 12:30:07
Low fee as out of contract in the summer. He's only 21 and has the potential to be much better but only time will tell if he fulfills it.
27 Jan 2017 17:58:26
Monk's comments a little worrying. With reference to mowett, he replied something like, with Alex going I presume there are new arrivals coming through the door as discussed with the owners. Basically meaning, there bloody better be. Hopefully not the start of a row between manager and owners. Or am I over reacting.?
27 Jan 2017 18:17:19
Think you are spot on. He has obviously said nobody would be leaving, so clearly not his decision.
27 Jan 2017 18:41:52
think you are being negitive and reading the worst into the situation but as a leeds fan i understand why you have assumed this and took this approach. i personally am not worried just yet.
27 Jan 2017 18:58:16
I think he has said who he wants and probably would let go if pushed and is letting someone else take care of business. Monk is very cagey and won't give anything away, possible that Mowatt sale funding Monks wanted men.
27 Jan 2017 18:59:14
To be fair, whether he wasn't getting enough game time or he had gone off the boil, or had peaked in terms of his potential, this season he has been a bit part player and was down the pecking order. He had become a fringe player and was not a 1st 11 choice. So, as much as it's sad to see a youth product move on, his transfer should not impact adversely on the team's progress. Good luck to Alex in the future, and hopefully his (undisclosed) transfer fee will go towards incoming movement. No one player is greater than the team, and, not intending any disrespect to him, Mowatt had long since stopped being influential. Onwards and upwards MOT.
27 Jan 2017 19:22:23
Ox, thought the idea of the new joint owner was investment in the squad.
27 Jan 2017 21:00:52
I'm not gutted about Mowatt going but more concerned that it might be against Monkys wishes.
27 Jan 2017 21:04:56
also monk said he would not sell any 1'st teamers which mowatt is not really. there is a picture of mowatt on FB in a barnsley shirt I am sure monk knew about this well before this picture was taken. i know we are leeds and it is our nature to worry and expect the worst but trust me i am never wrong ever (ask my lucky wife) this window will turn out ok and monk is happy. this said i still don't trust rad and don't like him but again this is just the leeds fan in me.
27 Jan 2017 21:39:14
Looks to me like its still a case of one out one in. Thought we might have a bit of extra cash with Ar joining. Mind you not a lot out there to spend on in jan. Hope we do get a couple in though.
27 Jan 2017 22:35:02
We have spent a few million already and Mowatt is not a big loss.
27 Jan 2017 22:58:10
Wex, who have we spent a few million on. Hanendes til the end of the season that's it pal.
28 Jan 2017 11:11:25
We bought pablo, probably buy pontus. These deals were in place last window so expect funds were there for them. Talking about fresh faces wex. We do need cover in some positions. This is hardest part of season. You would be happy going into playoffs with say pontus or barts suspended and wood injured? Me neither.
28 Jan 2017 21:00:38
We need a two or three alright but not easy to get these particular players if they not guaranteed a start. And the way everyone is playing makes it even harder.
27 Jan 2017 17:30:53
Good luck at Barnsley Alex apart from against us obviously.
With a bit of luck we won't play them next season as we'll be in different leagues as we are not mathematically safe from relegation yet! 😋
27 Jan 2017 17:03:01
Anybody know how much we got for Mowatt?
27 Jan 2017 17:13:19
Hopefully about £2m.
27 Jan 2017 17:14:50
Two ferrets and a whippet.
27 Jan 2017 17:37:17
'Undisclosed'
27 Jan 2017 18:19:55
Phil Hay said it was 6 figures, but more than £500k.
27 Jan 2017 21:06:11
so 501K then? to be honest he only is worth about 750k in my opinon and with little left to run on contract decent sale.
28 Jan 2017 21:02:14
I agree bermo but still think he's potentially worth a lot more.
27 jan 2017 16:56:51
condolences to mallik wilks and all his family, heard he was to play the cup tie this weekend too. hope they're all looked after well and supported by our club. marching on together.
27 Jan 2017 14:36:36
who else would like to see the red and white Leeds away shirt making a comeback?
27 Jan 2017 14:51:44
Not for me.
27 Jan 2017 15:45:49
That would just be you then Alf!
27 Jan 2017 16:54:09
😮😳🙄🙈
All emojis as there are just no words!
27 Jan 2017 16:59:28
Can't win em all!
27 Jan 2017 16:46:11
hate red, red is arsenal and i hate arsenal, if we have a red shirt it should be sponsored by ken bates and all players should have names on back replaced with Hockaday.
27 Jan 2017 17:36:04
so are you for it or against then BW?
27 Jan 2017 17:44:06
Alf, do you live in Vienna and work for a famous energy drinks firm?
27 Jan 2017 08:30:05
Jansson has signed a four year deal which starts in July.
27 Jan 2017 10:38:46
Nothing confirmed on OS yet. Wish they'd hurry up and confirm. I'm sat in the waiting room at the tattoo shop undecided whether to get 'Pontus Jansson's magic hat' or 'I love Stella' tatted on my forehead. Arggghh, hurry up Leeds! MM.
27 Jan 2017 11:14:55
Excellent bit of business, proper contracts at last. Mind you his was a no brainer everyone wants good defenders.
27 Jan 2017 11:25:16
Lol. Tough one mm
Forehead perfect place for tattoo though
U will look very impressive. Envy of elland rd.
27 Jan 2017 11:53:51
Cheers Aus, you are obviously a man with style. Was originally thinking 'I love Stella' as I can't often speak in 'spoons later on in an evening, so could just point to my head. Clever eh? MM.
27 Jan 2017 11:57:30
Whose Stella? Is she Debbie's replacement?
27 Jan 2017 12:24:47
No Speedy a foreign bird who frequents a lot of pubs, surname Artois. Classy! MM.
27 Jan 2017 14:00:21
Pontus may leave us one day MM, but Stella will always be available. On that basis, go for Stella. However, 'Pint of Stella, please' might be better as it is still clear where your loyalties lie but it will make mute ordering so much easier. you never know, people in the street might just give you a pint of Stella based on the tat!
27 Jan 2017 16:43:13
cheers Alf, top advice. MM.
27 Jan 2017 16:48:00
just don't drink too much MM before having it done or it or you will end up with Stella's magic hat or pint of pontus please on your forehead.
26 Jan 2017 23:58:48
If the Pontus deal is 4 and a half years, then that's a sign of intent that we haven't seen in many a long year, and if they have the sense to give Monky a similar contract, I'll be getting my first ever season ticket next year
27 Jan 2017 11:12:48
Steady on speedy you will be buying a scarf next.
27 Jan 2017 11:56:44
I did have a rattle back in the day, which I proudly painted in white blue and yellow.
27 Jan 2017 12:55:45
Had a rattle off Bermondsey eh speedy.
27 Jan 2017 14:01:01
what happened to football rattles? nobody uses them anymore.
27 Jan 2017 14:11:33
No I bought it with my own money :)
27 Jan 2017 16:49:50
no on uses football rattles as they were the 50's answer to the 2010's vuvuzula (or whatever it was called) think speedy if pontus is here for 4'1/2 years speedy you could stalk him, get locked up and still be out in time to see him while still under contract.
27 Jan 2017 17:32:27
I had (and still have in the loft) a big wooden football rattle which I was told by an uncle was originally an old ARP warning rattle. I was brought up in an old pub in Newtown, Leeds and in the cellar were assorted helmets, buckets and stirrup pumps together with a few rattles one of which I borrowed and gave it a new colour scheme.
27 Jan 2017 18:07:33
How much did you pay for the rattle Speedy? If it was more than half a crown you were robbed! 😊.
27 Jan 2017 18:09:28
Berm. I am old but not that bloody old. It was the 60's, not 50's. Cheeky sod.
27 Jan 2017 18:11:38
However BW. Thanks for the Pontus Tip 👍🏻👍🏻.
27 Jan 2017 21:46:02
Danum. I can't remember if I paid a shilling or a groat for it.
