a few months ago I noticed a post about some 16 year old argentine wonderkid .....told he was going to take the championship by storm in January can't remember his name just wondered if anyone knew if he was about to explode on to the scene in a month or so? Karl mot

Believable4 Unbelievable0

The months were infact years... and the name of that wonderkid.... was Luciano Becchio :)

MOT!!!

Agree10 Disagree0

Ed please help me out here I've been anxiously waiting for this ever since I read the post about the Argentine . there were a few replies at the time confirming the original post saying things like it was real coup and that we did really well to get him in the first place .........who is the potential superstar Ed ? {Ed013's Note - I have heard nothing since I am afraid}

George Boyd ,Albert Adomah,tate ,thomas tonge (loans till end of season) ,Hall Permanent , Diouf 2.5 year contract , Liam Trotter = Promotion cost around 4-5 million. If Carlsbong done transfer windows!

Not carlsberg, realistic,though i think we can do better than trotter

The possible transfer post has generated a lot of debate......my question is - how many of those mentioned could guarantee promotion and sustain life in the premiership, surely this is the criteria for any signings?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Think that keeping tate for the full season or perm... make him captain...
extend the loans of Tonge and Thomas till end of season or sign them perm in jan if cheap enough... they out of contract in summer i believe...
think these 3 can contribute to a prem campaign.... not saying they would set it a light... but could do a job....

Agree0 Disagree2

One of the most positive thing about the win versus Huddersfield is the fact we did it without diouf, Rudy and Pearce. Austin and diouf are two of our most important players so the fact we turned them over despite that MOT future looking good

Just like to say many thanks to the Eds who have been inundated with messages for most of the year from us moaners!
Cheers Eds {Ed013's Note - No worries, most fans are no problem at all}

Two prem miscasts hAve instantly transformed Leeds
So forget the mackel smiths and other champ non starters
Get rid of the captain and other rubbish. Spend the dosh ( whatever is neded ) sign Thomas, diouf and Tate and tinge plus spend about 6 mill On a striker and a defender. There are plenty of prem ears out there ( as someone said, like strachan ) that teams think are passed it but stillhave skill experience 4 years in them and a point to prove.
Finally, forgive me fir I have sinned
I was a big warnock out! And now I'm thinking, steady Eddie, give him a chance! But I tell ya, revert back to the utter crAp you were playing and I will be back!!

leeds are not making any signings in january due to the chairmans wife needing a bikini wax

Believable7 Unbelievable15

Right here and now, this is one of the stupidest posts I have seen for a while. A toothless Pre takeover stylee stab in the dark. You a terriers fan? Or miss the days of relevant bates bashing. The world of lufc has changed, my man!

Agree18 Disagree2

What the hell are you talking about?

Agree10 Disagree2

And the really worrying thing about that is "How the hell do you know that Mrs bates has excess spiders legs down there?"

Seek counselling now or you're heading down the slippery slope to deviancy; unless of course you are an octogenarian also, in that case I would say "Well done old man"

Agree0 Disagree0

Just a guy going for a bikini wax lol

I was in hospitality for the Udder vs Leeds match and Clayton got their man of the match. While he was on stage they asked him what Ross said to him when he lined up for the penalty. Apparently he said " As a friend I just want to tell you, Kenny knows which way your going to go".

Although we had many players on great form on Saturday I thought Ross was magnificent and never slowed down. For a player who hasn't put in a full game for a few months I thought his work rate was fantastic. Also as it about turns out he's got a sense of humour too.

The question is did kenny really know ?

Obviously not!

There is just one tweak needed at the moment. Warnock needs to forget about the captaincy and the fee for peltier and the need to play him for those reasons. And plat the best left back at the club adam drury. peltier you are officially the weakest link. Other than that very optimistic about the rest of the season.

Believable14 Unbelievable14

I think Peltier realizes by mid-January his place in the team and therefore his captaincy will be under threat.

Agree7 Disagree1

Original poster here. Those that have disagreed. I bet not one of you have seen him play live this season. And by live i mean actually go to the game and see for yourself .

Agree4 Disagree9

Completely agree hes a liability, vinny.

Agree4 Disagree3

Why criticise people when they disagree with your opinion and brand them as people who don't go to games. Just realise that your opinion isn't always the right one (although it is on this occasion) the club relies on all the fans those that go and those that don't through shirt sales etc. do those that can attend games great those that can't for what ever reason are still entitled to their opinion. This is our year now lets all get behind the team and behind eachother! MOT

Agree11 Disagree2

I agree Peltier is rubbish and I think most people with a footballing brain would agree. My choice would be to replace him with the free agent Zambrotta - Quality fullback (for either LB or RB) and better captain material

Agree5 Disagree5

Good shout, didn't know he was without a club. getting on a bit but still a world cup winner.

Agree2 Disagree1

Another player without a club (i think), Rudi Skacel, tons of experience, can strikea ball very well, even as short-term i think hed be very good

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Pelts should focus on training rather than putting his name to cringe worthy mail shots trying to sell tickets for future games.

I'm a season ticket holder and he has emailed 3 times this last week asking me to continue my support by buying tickets I already have.

Worry about your own seat (on the bench) rather than mine, I'm sorted thanks.

was any body else concerned by the article about david haigh and gfh in todays mail on sunday?

Believable3 Unbelievable20

What is it about Leeds United that every one and there dog hate so much .GFH take over they instantle inject more money into the club to back what they have already put in we get two new lone players that we would not have had otherwise.
The team and fans breath a side of relief and a new optimism descends on the club followed by 3 straight wins catapulting Leeds for 18th to 10th spot confidence oozing through the team and a real belief that this season is not over by any strech of the imagination.

Step up the Daily fecking Mail in an attempt to try p-ss all over any optimizam that may be descending on Leeds fans place doubt in their minds stir things up. Use the power of suggestion to undermind the new owners by putting out a article that says nothing but insinuate plenty.

This is nothing more than poor journalism at its best dig up anything they can find no mater how insignificant and try turn it into something it's not though one or two unpopula words it to the mix transparency/clarity/Manchester United/clarification and a conspiracy is born well not today and not here tommorows toilet papaer nothing more

Agree22 Disagree2

They said uncle ken owned only 49% of LUFC but we all know he owned 76.8% or something....getting fundamental facts so wrong does nothing to inspire us that their 'facts' are true

Agree5 Disagree1

GHF own 100% of leeds

Agree3 Disagree3

03 Dec 2012 14:14:17
If you read it properly they have already taken 30 percent stake in the club from bates rest plus all the other small holders shares will be transferred to gfh on December 21. Ppl can't ready.

Story is a load of rubbish and David haigh on twitter gas been to see his solicitor about libel

Agree3 Disagree1

Few successful companies or leaders get through life without a few discrepancies here and there. If you look at your own CV there are probably a few bits of stretched truth.

GFH C aren't the owners for 2/3 weeks yet so until they are and have been deemed fit and proper by the powers at be I dont think it matters much. Why should they explain themselves to us now?

Once they run the show I will base my opinion of them on their actions in supporting Leeds united on and off the field.

Poor journalism without a point. They even quote the illustrious leader of Lust, always a man with his finger on the truth.

Also you have to remember the Mail doesn't really like foreigners...did you expect a flattering article of a middle Eastern company? Must have been a slow Diana day.

Agree3 Disagree1

Just to the first replt to this. Warnock did not change his targets when GFH bought 33.33% in Leeds Holdings. He said there wasn't time to change course. He did say they helped in getting Thomas deal over the line but I do feel he said this to get fans on there side, Which i can understand with the crap thats gone on. I think the 21st and Jan are going to tell us what we all want to know. Do these people mean what they say?
