Not a rumour but after watching the soccer aid match how about seedorf, free agent would control our midfield, and Ben shepard for right back lol he was better than Connelly has been for us even jonathan Wilkes played better than any of our midfielders last season and these two Arnt even pro footballers now that's saying something.

Not free agent he's retired

And get serge from kasabian up front too

No he hasn't retired.

He is free agent now after completing his contract with Milan and even if he had retired that would still make him free agent doh!

Seedorf would be a complete no-brainer! quality player.

Yeah,sure he would jump at the chance to join us,we can't get ward but we speculate on seedorf,give your head a shake

Aren't you an old misery guts?

Mot without bates and his yes men!

Just an idea... not a rumour, but would you be happy with Leroy Lita? Didn't seem to have much of a shout at Swansea last year and with them being in a strong position for next year may become available at a reasonable price. Proven goal scorer at this level

If you love this club, i strongly recomend you look on the L,U,S,T website, say no more. Join them before are club becomes a nomark.
BATES OUT NOW!!

Lust will do nothing but ruin this football club. They give the real fans a bad name. During the marches the majority of the lust members looked about 15yrs old and were just there to cause trouble. They have there own agenda and it's not to take Leeds back to the premiership!

Friend who lives in leicester says beckford really wants to.return to leeds he loves
the place and adores the fans and feels he needs to return to make up for leaving he is willing to take a pay cut to play for us
I would love the guy back fair enough he left on a free after promotion to championship but do u blame him trying premiership football.were he finished top.goal scorer
Yeah he missed a lot of chance but he was there to take that.chance and with his pace he can terrorise defences leicester dont want him and are willing take a loss on his sale as leicester fans dont want him
Other players rumoured mills no chance linked to celtic and bamba linked to turkey or greece {Ed037's Note - And is this a well known fact in Leicester then?}

In the case of Bamba i would walk to leeds and beg them to take me on...how much in drachmas will there be to the pound, too risky.

Cant believe 23rd anniversary of Don Revies death was yesterday, I am sure he would not be happy at the way the club is now.. RIP to the great man.

I would like to put a few things straight.....

No takeover
Smith isnt coming back
Warnock is staying (until xmas as will be sacked if we arent up there in the top 6)
Aidy White is leaving, with McCormack
Snodgrass not leaving, but not signing a new contract either
Ward not coming as Paynter deal not going through
South stand not closing only corporate boxes there are being shut
Bates is staying for 1 more year 9 looking to get a big pay off when/if we go up)

Paddy Kenny arriving at Leeds along with Derry
Beckford has been told to take a pay cut to return to Leeds or rot at leicester

Any footballer who is on freebie, who has pace and power will be linked with Leeds...so expect the rumour mill to go into overdrive next week when 1St June arrives

All will become clearer in next 2 weeks, keep the faith, go on your holidays and get ready for our promotion charge!! {Ed013's Note - You sir should sign your posts with a name and take the credit you deserve. A lot of this is true}

Finally someone wiv a bit of sense

Well said...All true

Trying not to be negative, but Kenny is a disctinctly average goalkeeper, and Derry would only give some team sheets away again

Every issue I have with peoples posts have been addressed here, well done.
X

ED, really?

Paynter couldnt be part of the deal because they are under a transfer embargo, Ward want to stay down south

Beckford wages has nothing to do with it, Leicester offered him twice we said no twice

Derry as said his family are settled in London and he doesn't want to move them again

Snodgrass is going, probably to Stoke or Everton

ur probably right about the takeover {Ed013's Note - Not all is right but some of it, the thing that got me was it was level headed instead of all the negatives I get through here etc etc}

27 May 2012 10:43:27
Hi Ed, got any news on actual targets and not what people want to see at Leeds? Also this take over rumour must just be a smoke screen so bates doesn't have to spend a penny, surely?? {Ed013's Note - The takeover is just a rumour and everything is quiet on the transfer front}

27 May 2012 09:35:51
I've got a theory guys and disagree as much as you like because I am usually wrong. Bates doesn't like anyone to get one over on him so he would absolutely hate it if SG's team finishes above him. I reckon Dean Hoyle will give SG some cash to spend and SG will put a decent squad together. Therefore Bates full of hatred will think he is not going to get one over me I will give NW some more cash. Just watch this next couple of weeks, I know NW is on holiday but he will be in constant touch with Harvey. Expect about 4 signings in quick succession!

He loves money even more than hatred i'm afraid. Fancy being 80 years old and still wanting more. greed, greed greed will lead him to purgatory.

Is anyone else over this ward rumour? Yeah he is a decent, but not great championship player, Colin has never formally singled out that he is being targeted and before the rumour started alot of us would have gone ward who? I think we could get better from somewhere else

27 May 2012 09:01:08
So much doom and gloom on here! We miss out on Joel Ward, so what? Warnock wants proven players and hungry ones. From the fact he isn't excited for a move to Leeds, we know he isn't hungry, and he certainly isn't proven. So it's best we move on from him and get in a better type of player, who wants the white shirt, and has the desire to reach the premier league with a top club! MOT

So we need to find good hungry players that dont cost anything because we cant even get 400k together for a player...lol

sick of hearing Bates out just give it a rest he saved us without him there would be no leeds united.
yess he may not be living up to his promises but he was the one that saved us and without him there would be no leeds united so shut up and support the team

in warnock we trust

Saving us is one thing but slowly sucking the life out of us is a different thing altogether. I agree with how Bates is running the club on a stable financial footing but there comes a time to spend some of the untouched Grayson warchest....the one thats been there for the last 3 seasons...probably need a locksmith due the fact Bates has forgotten where he hid the key.

No he didn't save us - he manipulated the administration after putting the club into the process in the first place. You clearly know nothing about the insolvency process. There were several bids for the administrators to choose from and they picked the easy, short-sighted option.

And the calls for Bates out will go on and on until he goes irrespective of how much the deluded 'Bates saved us' crowd whine about it. Those of us with a conscience don't want him running our club.

BATES OUT.

^ Thats right mate. All these pro Bates supporters need to brush up on their 'facts'.

i am seriously getting worried now about next season. i know its only early but weve really not heard anything about arrivals coming out of leeds. we released 5 players, so you would of thought he had 5 in mind already. i know weve signed 1 but nw had said he would be disappointed if he didnt have 3 in before he went away. is it just me or was it a mistake signing andy lonergan? i think hes been terrible. if we had made schmeichel a better offer we would of made playoffs. i hope where all panicking for no reason- as most players are on hols now as well as managers, and its not like other clubs are making loads of signings, but kb has never dug into his own pocket, unless you count the 2 he grudgingly paid to buy 2 football clubs. message to kb, the best way to shut us up is to prove us wrong. keep the faith, mot
