Leeds are looking to push for promotion next season and will be looking to add a couple of fresh faces but will keep the majority of the decent players also. We should also see a couple of the youth players out on loan come into the team to add some pace and agility which is what we have been lacking this season. This could mean that the Leeds United team next season may look something like this:

- - - - - - - - - - Schmeichel- - - - - - - - - -
- - -White- - - Kisnobro- - - Lees- - - Lichaj- - -
-Gradel- - - Howson- - - Johnson- - - Snodgrass-
- - - - - - - - - - - -Kruse- - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - - - Becchio- - - - - - - - - - -

Smithies
O'Brien
Connolly
Montgomery
McCormack
Somma
Beckford

The above means that coming in will be:

Montgomery -Sheffield United (350,000)
Smithies -Huddersfield Town (225,000)
Kruse -FC St. Pauli (600,000)
Beckford -Everton (Loan)
Lichaj -Aston Villa (Loan)
Lees -Bury (Returning from loan)
White -Oldam (Returning from loan)

However, the front to will be very interchangable depending on the team Leeds are playing and also who seems to work well together. My best bet would be on Beckford and Becchio like in the 2009/ 2010 season when they were very effective. However, Grayson likes to rotate the squad for some reason and players like McCormack and Somma can both play in midfield as-well which should make the squad very versitile.

Jonathan Douglas to re-join Leeds on a free transfer to provide the grit in the midfield.


Its poss as on sunday night he bottled by swindon fans when he was out on the town with few other players and has now said he wants out of swindon to return north and there has been talk in swindon that he will return to leeds in the summer.

I was at the LUFC members dinner on Saturday night and during ken bates speech he made it very very clear he intends to keep all key players of the squad, he also said regarding new players that investments are already in place and the only aim for next season is league title,
yes these are only words but he wasn't even asked about it, so he didn't even need to make a speech about it atal.
The future is White
