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

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

McCormack 11
Sharp 10
Maynard 8

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.

"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

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

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

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!

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

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

We'd have no defenders left.
Agree1

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.

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

Forgot paynter
Agree1

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?

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!

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

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

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.

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

Jackie was solid with Brendan Ormsby - but I preferred Peter Haddock and Neil Aspin
Aspin - Haddock - Rennie - Ashurst - Ormsby - Snodin (quality defence)

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

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

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

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...

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

If it happens we should riot! - Or force Bates out of the club I've had enough of old robbing g*t
Agree3

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.
