Leeds to get delph, lichaj on loan and sign st ledger. If lichaj is not properly fit then Adam smith from spurs.

Believable3 Unbelievable2

This would be ideal if you added a prolific striker and a holding midfielder

Agree2 Disagree2

Clayton is holding and McCormack is prolific enough

Agree3 Disagree1

Clayton isn't a holding midfielder, too attacking minded and McCormack isn't prolific enough we need a proven goalscorer at this level like Sharp, Maynard etc.

Agree1 Disagree5

McCormack is second top goalscorer?

Agree5 Disagree0

McCormack 11
Sharp 10
Maynard 8

Agree5 Disagree0

McCormack likes balls to his feet and to run in behind defenses. Unfortunately no one has being given him these one on one chances recently making it difficult for him to score. If we had a visionary midfielder behind him like and I say LIKE (Lampard or Gerrard) then they would slot him through enough chances to score tons of goals.
Remember Beckford? - prolific scorer, but needed 7 or 8 chances to get 1 goal. McCormack only gets about 3 chances in a game currently as we only seem to be able to float crosses into the box and shoot long rather than play the ball into the net.

Agree2 Disagree2

"McCormack likes balls to his feet and to run in behind defenses. Unfortunately no one has being given him these one on one chances recently making it difficult for him to score"

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU ON? He's 2nd top scorer in the league mate? He's had a bad december but still 2nd top scorer

Agree4 Disagree1

If i recall in his first season at Cardiff he was the Championship top scorer, how much proof do you need?

Play some youngster's i not bothered about the fa cup and would prefer to out of it now.

Agree5 Disagree0

I was pretty close to you though I am sure Pugh will get a game (probably instead of Nunez or Sam). I thought Taylor was on loan at Bradford so perhaps Turner on the bench

Agree1 Disagree0

5 attacking players out of 6...haha couldn't blame him for having ago! Im sure Pugh will start hopefully instead of Sam to give some balance!

funny how we can only renew are season tickets up on till 5 oclock on the 31st of jan and the transfer window closes at midnight sly old dog

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Ive just renewed mine, dont like Bates, but owt to save a few quid and if it aids in buying a new player then fair do's.

MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

More likely to aid buying a yacht - but I'll be renewing mine too....

Agree0 Disagree0

Window closes at 11

Agree0 Disagree0

Buying new players are you jokeing dont need money to loan players

with paddy been ruled out for the season and OB will nevey play again we will have to get a CB - Who would evryone want>

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Somebody like onouha (spelling) , make a proper statement that we mean business!
STW

Agree0 Disagree0

Your living in cloud cuckoo land if you think we would receive a fee for any of them players,i agree they all need to go,the only benefit the club would have is it would free up some wages money for loan players...also if you think old ken is gonna spend 2.5 on 1 player when he hasn't given grayson a fraction of that for the rest of the squad you are clearly deluded!

Agree1 Disagree0

I am guessing the post above is a reply to the post below!

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jan 2012 16:36:49
If it was upto me, I would sell all the dead wood and fringe players (Brown,Bromby,O'Brien,Rachubka,Bruce,Parker,Forsell)

Lets say we get 300k for Brown, 150k for Bromby, £1.62p for Andy O'Brien, 100k for Rachubka, 250k for Bruce, 200k For Parker & 100k for Forsell. All in all thats £1,000,001.62p..............

Huddersfield are asking for 3.5 million for Rhodes, which would mean uncle Ken would have to shell out 2.5 million. I know it would leave us a little thin, but we are coming into the last half of the season, and we could do with somebody who bangs goals in for fun.

What does everything think? Wishful thinking or not bad idea? {Ed025's Note - i think you may have over value,d andy obrien..

Believable2 Unbelievable2

We'd have no defenders left.

Agree1 Disagree0

There is no way on this earth that any club will pay 300k for Brown! The only player that you listed with any chance of us getting any pennies is OBrian and I think 10pence max for him! All the others would go on a free to generate a bigger wage budget.

MOT

Agree0 Disagree1

I know we would have no defenders left but, as it stands, we only have 3 fit anyway!

Agree2 Disagree2

Forgot paynter

Agree1 Disagree1

Oh yes Paynter, forgot him...... Maybe 200k?

The reason I said 300k for Brown is because even though it sounds a lot of money to Leeds, is not for the likes of West Ham, Middlesbrough,Leicester etc. He has been dogs**t for us but he does have prem experience....... Let's settle at 200k? Any takers? Lincoln?Grimsby?Burton?

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Jan 2012 16:48:39
Looked on Official site and we officially have 3 defenders fit. Connolly, White and O'Dea. Surely SG is not that f____g stupid that he can't see we need a couple of defenders? Centre's preferably!

Believable4 Unbelievable2

This is grayson were talking about, he will only notice on a saturday when we have 7 players on the field

Agree5 Disagree0

Well if the last 3-years has anything to go by don't hold your breath we will end up with another winger and a goalkeeper lol

Agree5 Disagree0

Thompson

Agree0 Disagree0

Thompson is a midfielder, he only played right back after paddy got injured. He started Centre mid

Agree0 Disagree0

Thompson started as a right back at Everton- we moved him into midfield. However after Monday it seems that rb may be a good position for him right now, especially given our lack of defenders

Agree2 Disagree0

Beware mate, some child will probably pop up now and tell you that you know nothing about Leeds for pointing out the truth about Thompson.

Agree2 Disagree0

Kisnorbo out for rest of season with knee injury - Fact-, must now focus on a replacement centre back surely !!

Lets hope so but with Grayson he thinks we will get bye, We need a right back and cback urgently. Gj

people saying get rid of vayrean if thats how you spell it prob the same people that were saying what a good player he was when we were in for him .as i can see it the blokes only played a couple of times and not really had achance to shine for his country in a system he knows he as been good give the man a chance like you all want nunez too sorry about the spelling i am quiet thicki no it annoise people but we not allclever cloggs are we

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Good post lad - i for one dont give a hoot about spelling on this forum - and I'm a univerzity teacher ! ... hey, its not a job application is it so dont worry about it mate - ignore people who have a go or get hung up on punctuation ( get a life ) - everyone on here should miss- spel for the sake off it from now on

Very good news about kisnobo the worst defender i,ve seen in a leeds shirt in 35 years at watching leeds united 28 years as a season ticket holder worst than jackie ashurst from doncaster under billy breminer

Agree2 Disagree7

Very good news about kisnobo the worst defender i,ve seen in a leeds shirt in 35 years at watching leeds united 28 years as a season ticket holder worst than jackie ashurst from doncaster under billy breminer

Agree2 Disagree3

Good or bad mate - he's a CB and we have not got too many at the moment. to to say very good news -

Agree0 Disagree2

Worst defender? you really are a doughnut. He played well for Leeds and got his first international cap whilst playing for us

Agree3 Disagree1

Jackie was solid with Brendan Ormsby - but I preferred Peter Haddock and Neil Aspin

Aspin - Haddock - Rennie - Ashurst - Ormsby - Snodin (quality defence)

Agree0 Disagree0

Peter haddock was good and once scored a wonderful goal like the john barnes goal against Brazil, not the worst defender.

Agree1 Disagree0

Peter Haddock was quality! Shame he never recovered from a fairly serious injury

Agree2 Disagree0

Worst defender in 35 years. do you remember Brazilian Legend - Roque Junior! before the 1st injury PK was our top defender. Regardless of his poor form recently how any leeds fan can say an inury to one of our own players is good news is beyond me!

Agree5 Disagree1

Its great news for SG too as he will be forced to play someone who can actually defend and he might just get to keep his job for a few more weeks!

Agree0 Disagree2

People thinking an injury to any player, even other teams' players, is somehow a good thing, is just wrong. Where are your moral compasses? FFS get a grip and grow up...

Agree0 Disagree0

Worst midfielder ever is easy. The playmaker that was Russell Doig.

Agree0 Disagree0

Worst defender in 35 years? anyone else see Shane Cansdell-Sherif ,Neil Collins, Paul Huntington just to name a few

Agree0 Disagree0

Michael Duberry used to give a penalty every game as a trademark!

Can someone please help shed some light on the snodgrass situation? Just read that norwich are close to signin and a deal could be done by friday morning. 3-4mil. Hope its not the case. Whites fan 4EVER.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

If it happens we should riot! - Or force Bates out of the club I've had enough of old robbing g*t

Agree3 Disagree2

If it's true it's true, No point rioting about. Snoddy has a year and half left on his contract, but may have indicated that there is no way he is signing a new one, if that is the case then 3-4 million is good business as long as the money is reinvested in the squad. Saying that, i'd much rather keep him, but you can't have everything unfortunately.

Agree1 Disagree1

He wont pass the medical

Agree2 Disagree1

05 Jan 2012 13:50:48
Leeds should look at signing seyi olofinjana from Hull. He is assured at this level and showed to be a quality player on loan at Cardiff last year.

He could add that steel in midfield to cover our leaky defence.

Believable6 Unbelievable0

I think he's what we need in the middle.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Jan 2012 09:36:16
My ideal transfer window recruits would be: Lichaj, Marvin Elliot & Kyle McFadzean
Lonergan
Lichaj Lees McFadzean white
Clayton Elliot
Howson
Snodgrass Townsend
Becchio

Believable0 Unbelievable3

My Ideal List..
Messi
Ronaldo
Tevez
Samba
Cahill
Kompany

Football is not an ideal world mate.

Agree3 Disagree0

Yes it's not an ideal world, and that's why the three signings he recommended were plausible (bar Lichaj).

Agree1 Disagree0

Messi, ronaldo, tevez, cahill, kompany, but then you throw in Samba and not Pique lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Plausible signings, no need to take the mick out of him? Simple suggestions to gauge what other fans think?

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jan 2012 09:30:25
Bit late but Gradel put on his Twitter a month ago that he is happy at his new club but misses lufc and hopes to come back one day. Looks like we might be in the market for Max in 3 years when his contract with St. Ettiene expires

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Read Bates weekly address to the nation on the Square Ball Forum yesterday and it mentions about Gradel wanting to come back here but his club wont let him
