Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

Paul masterton the agent of paddy Kenny has said the rumours regarding MC having a grudge against paddys birthday may17th is totally rubbish, he said although paddys future is uncertain the 17 rumour is garbage.
He then goes onto say paddy is concerned about certain photos on social media and the internet that have been HEAVILY photoshopped, he says paddy is upset about the photos and criticism that's followed and just to clarify the pictures are false paddys weight has NOT differed one bit in the past 5 years.

If these pictures have been doctored, why doesn't Paddy just get the media round to take some 'actual' pictures of him?

I find it hard that someone could actually doctor a whole video clip, though?

Agree0 Disagree0

I think the video aspect was slightly changed, a bit like when you change your tv from 4:3 to 16:9

The clip I saw has no other players in it so this could be done easly :-)

Yeh good point you made mate, i'm only stating what his agent has said on the subject.

If he stays I will have to get one of those widescreen TVs ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

"If he stays I will have to get one of those widescreen TVs ;)"

Think you might need 2.

Hi AGM, thanks for asking. She's well, by that I mean she eats well. At least I don't have to worry about her playing away from home. No seriously, I love her to bits and at 25 stone there's a lot of love to go around. have you ever seen the film Shallow Hal? lol

posted 17.02 (18.02 uk) today Italy


Leeds united´s Massimo Cellino continues his search for Italian players, and is following with great interest Mirko Antenucci of Terni. the pressure of joining a team as prestigious as the "Whites" could make a difference for the C/F 29 year old. who originally wanted to stay with his current club.

Statement says the club wishes to keep McC and their best players AND does not need to sell him. Positive statement but I still think he will go. McCormack was inconsistent at the best of times - his goals tend to come in rushes and long dry spells in between. He was like that at Cardiff. If he is unhappy as well can't see him performing at his best either.If we get a good price and the money is reinvested - fine.

Just a quick query, with a probably an obvious answer.

If we are under a transfer embargo, how are we able to release players, or does that not count as a "transfer". Lee Peltier comes to mind

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It normally means that you can't buy players but you can release them. Stuart Taylor signed today so I wouldn't worry about it any more

Has the club or more importantly ross himself actually come out and confirmed that a transfer request has been handed in. Seems strange that if one has been handed in, why wasn't it mentioned in the brief statement from the club today.

Cellino has started to put in the "hard yards" to get this club on an even footing however the austerity measures put in place are the easier wins albeit the correct way forward IMO. Reducing unnecessary costs and removing deadwood from the team who do not care about the shirt gets my backing. Don't believe that Kenny is being forced out because of his birthday, it is because his lack of professionalism by returning from his summer break somewhat rotund. Holding out for the best possible price for McCormack makes good business sense but it is a situation that must not be allowed to drag on. The challenge for Cellino is to provide a quality team that plays quality football in order to bring the crowds back into Elland Road. If those players are going to be Italian then fine but do it sooner rather than later. New players (especially foreign players) require time to bed in, we need to avoid the last minute scramble for players.

Just read all this nonsense about Paddy Kenny & unlucky 17.
The fact that he's the size of a small Water Buffollo, is the reason why MC has got a downer on the guy!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Its because he is 17 stones 17lbs - simples

Agree0 Disagree0

@salopjeff - I see what you've tried there, but "17st 17lbs" isn't possible, it'd be 18st 3lbs.

Wobshall says that RmC handed in request day after Hockaday appointed - thus disproving my previous post and Adam Pope's take on it.

What's going on behind the scenes? On OS now declaring we don't have to sell Ross and reaffirming our desire to keep him. Is this just a tactic to create a bidding war and can we really hold on to a player once he's put a transfer request in?

MM

Believable0 Unbelievable0

It simply means that we don't want to sell him and we don't need to sell him (or anybody else). If however, somebody comes in with a big enough offer, we may choose to sell him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mmm. not too convinced myself. Why is he not in Italy?

03 Jul 2014 11:06:46
on os it states we want to keep McCormack. As he has alledgedly handed in transfer request and not at Italy boot camp is this just a ploy to hold out for higher price?

No one is a bigger fan of ross macormack than me he was quoted in saying he has tried to speak to mc for a while but had no luck but I thought mc had a meeting with every player 1 on 1 not more than 3 weeks ago sorry ross but I do not belive you its just an excuse

I know a first team player and I can confirm 100% MC is to have a 1 to 1 with EVERY player on LUFCs books.

Mr Cellino has refused £17m offer for Ross. Apparently he's furious and insulted by the offer. He will, however, accept £7m lol!

Looks like transfer embargo lifted with signing of Stuart Taylor

Personally I don't know much about Stuart Taylor but hopefully he's going to be backup and mentor to the young Marco Silvestri.

Anyway, welcome to Leeds Stuart :-)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Nobody knows a much about him because he's only played 72 times in 10 years, in other ways he's another Hockaday, like you said let's hope he's just cover but don't be surprised to see him as number one tho.

Agree0 Disagree0

How in earth is he another hockaday!
Have we got 2 coaches now?

Agree0 Disagree0

Simple Andy he's not that well known just like Hockaday.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not well known?

I made the comment of 72 matches in 10yrs 4 days ago, you said he was a nobody!

Sorry ED

{Ed001's Note - he will make you carry his wallet around if you carry on! With the amount of chains and shackles and locks, plus the safe it is stored in, and the bank vault it is all kept in, that is not as nice a job as it may seem......}

Could you not put it to a vote how many moths and white fivers are in EDs wallet ha ha

In the snail;

Leeds owner MC won't allow the team to play in Purple, it's his unlucky colour

Also "where's all the pies gone" is leaving because May 17th is MC's unlucky number and that happens to be "where's all the Pies gone" birthday

Realstically money from ross is needed. a couple of decent quick players still needed for the 3rd year in a row. Repeat decent. With the right delivery smith may get 20+. Anyway. Some of the decisions mc c is making are a bit left field and some of the supposed linked players a bit average. But. Give him and them a chance. There are plenty of good teams out there that have grown from average players to blend together!
