Michael owen played his last game for MUFC at Wembley. The word on the street is that Leeds are planning a daring raid for his signature. This might seem unrealistic but I have cast iron proof of the deal
===============================
Owen to Leeds could be a good deal all round he has pace to burn and knows hot to hit the net, plus not played much in the last 4 years so he's fresh :)

Why do people keep going on about woodgate Owen and roe Coker paying high wages for these sort of players ie fowler and Johnson is why we are in this s@&t state.
Agree3

All these players are available on frees and would be great additions to the leeds team
Eric Lichaj
Nigel Reo-Coker
Joey O Brien
Tamir Cohen
Kazenga LuaLua
John Mensah
Zavon Hines
Seamus Coleman
Victor Anichebe
Billy Clarke
Moustapha Salifou
what do you think?? anyone of these would be great on a free {Ed007's Note - Reo-Cokers wage demands are astronomical. I'm sure he was either on 75k a week and looking for 85k or on 85k a week, that's why Villa released him}

85k a week dam site cheaper than £1mil tranfer fee plus wages and sign bonus agent fee and the rest and whats the EPL worth £90mil i'd say £85k is not too bad look at Newcastle's wages when they was in the championship it's highly likely that West Ham will have a similar size if not lareger next season!

Reo coker's wages make Smith's look paltry flipping heck! How come people are saying we might get Smith on a free???
Agree3
Disagree1
I wouldn't have smith if they paid us his legs are gone his head is gone he isn't the player we all new and loved from the champions league era, he's a past it MF who has come back from a bad leg break

Surely somma and nunez will at least be on the bench?
As for Johnson hes crap, never rated him in league 1, if he ends up in premier league there is something seriously wrong. hes the worst midfielder we have had in years.

Unbelievable4
I agree he's crap, not the worst player but seriously lacking technical ability poor on the ball, gives up too many fouls, poor positioning and decisions made and he's slow league 1 or SPL player i'll be glad when he's gone
Agree2

So you know better then Premiership managers then?

On the evidence of scums game i know more than AF because they was crap and how many leeds players of moved to the PL and done well, by well I mean actually play reg and achieve a rating of 7 plus in the games they play and the answer to that is none! so yeh I know better! clearly you don t know better than me!

bradley johnson is staying kilkenny is going leeds are set to sign rea from cardiff hes unhappy there and has asked to leave and leeds are keen for his signiture
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Rae is too old for the current set up, at 33 and Johnson is chasing money in the PL, he is too slow and technically lacking in many areas i think leeds will do well in getting rid of both Johnson and kilkenny I would also like is to get rid of the following:
Shane Higgs
Paul Connolly
Richard Naylor (going)
Federico Bessone
Leigh Bromby
Lloyd Sam
Neil Kilkenny (all ready said)
Bradley Johnson (all ready said)
Billy Paynter
All these players can be replaced with free transfers, by younger players who are quicker and technically better, leeds need more pace up all over the field and they need to retain the ball fare better this season, our deffence was poor because they lacked pace and they was slow to react it is simple to get out of this league and Grayson is the man to do it King Ken doesn't need to put his money in for transfers as he can pay for better players wages on free transfers

Good call about Allan Clarke . . No more steady progress we need a manager promising we will be European champions within 4 years and then delivering relegation . . Although I do miss his dry wit and sarcassm . . And how we could do with Kenny burns!

Im a huge leeds fan and i think a few of these posts are hopeful fans. .i really hope we don't get sol campbell and im pretty sure were getting woodgate on a 2 year deal. Happy that b johnson is going as hes a leugue1 player at best. the only other rumour i heard was pratley for around 1m. . bowyer likely i suppose but hes on around 30k a week.

wd who do you think we will sign and why?
{Ed010's Note -I'm sorry, I can't even contemplate who Simon Grayson has identified as signings. This is not a "get out of jail card" but merely based on the fact that the season has just ended and he needs to sit down and discuss with your chairman, what funds he has to strengthen the squad. There is the added complication that because Leeds had a fairly successful season, narrowly missing the play offs, some of your players have put themselves in the "shop window" and some EPL clubs may come calling and test Grayson's resolve.
Who would you like to see at Elland Road ?

to all these retads who think they are being clever by posting "the team next year". . give it up! you don't know what the team will be, this isn't Football Manager 2011, stop writing down your wishlist, and try and keep it to real, beleivable rumours rather than your made up ones
