John Bostock - free or Jernade meade - free (young wingers)
Jamie O'hara - £800000 (midfield playmaker)
Reece wabara - Compensation to Man city (young back up defender)

It depends on what wage they will accept, Leeds have a strict policy when it comes to pay

Gera, Thomas, upson, lichaj, Evan Blake

Not a penny spent what a team cheap, mix of youth and old, flair, pace, looks solid

Kenny

Lichaj upson lees warnock

Byram Austin Gera Thomas

McCormack Evan Blake

Any thoughts

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Anybody 4 kenny mills 4 lees and malouda 4 thomas that would work

Agree0 Disagree0

Not a penny spent? Will they all play for free & no signing on fee? Decent enough players but not sure we could afford em

Agree0 Disagree0

Malouda. u having a laugh. Where are we going to find 80k a week wages and huge signing on fee and also compete with clubs like lyon who are rumoured to want him back. Please use your brains

Agree0 Disagree0

Anybody from the leeds red triangle for Austin. JD

Agree0 Disagree0

Malouda? What have you been taking mate! Was on £70k+ at Chelski and he won't take a £55k a week wage cut to come to us when he could go get what he got at Chelsea in the Middle East somewhere and live in Dubai like the playboy he is!

On David Somma earning an extended stay, McDermott said: "I think realistically that's not going to happen. You never say never in football, but that's not necessarily how we were thinking

does any leeds fan realy think we are after the names that have been banded about

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Definitely, obviously a lot won't happen but I think there is definitely something in the Noel Hunt and Reece Wabara rumours as well as other players who have previously played under BMD

I just wish us fans had more info on budgets and targets, I think if GFH were to do this us leeds fans would respect them more

Just a thought

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hi, this if GFH we have £30 million to spend and a £3 millon a year budget
If u are intrested in selling me an overpriced player because we've stated we have money then feel free to ring us on 077were nt tht stupid 654
P. s any players looking for a big pay give us a text as our wage budget is huge.
STOP BEEN SILLY AND JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

Agree0 Disagree0

They can't tell us the budget because then clubs might start charging more or other clubs would simply know how much would outbid us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Only stupid owners or chairman divulge their targets or amount they have to spend on transfers. That only increases the prices of these players.
In GFH & McD we trust.
MOT.

Agree0 Disagree0

I believe this theory is a good idea but revealing targets and sums may lead to the complication of signing. Revealing targets may lead to other clubs gaining interest and this in turns leads to a "bidding war"and more than necessary prices. This is why the papers are full of rumours, trying to pressure and interest teams/players into certain positions.

After seeing the list of premiership players released I haven't been this excited before a season begins in ages.

I have full faith in McDermott to sign the right blend of players and mix in a bit of youth and I'm certain we'll be going up this year.

Personally I would love Gary O'Neill to sign for us I reckon he'd be the driving force in bringing us up.

Roll on the transfer window.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agreed but I've read that he wants to stay south despite interest from hull and reading

Agree0 Disagree0

wish everyone would get of morrisons back!

he came to us injuried and bang out of form, he hadnt played footy for a while and must have been very depressed in LUFC's second team in Norwich!

He will come good this year and will be better then Bechio ever was, he showed a little of what he can do towards the end of last season, then was injuried again.

Give the guy 6 games at the start of the season before killing him before we even kick off

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Totally agree, he does have quality finishing and control like he showed against crystal palace, just needs the confidence and service to him

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly right!
still don't expect him to be a player that single handily gets us out of this league

Agree0 Disagree0

Morrison at his peak would be awesome for us but he needs to get fit and get his belief back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you his mum?

Agree0 Disagree0

One player been released from West Brom i'd absolutely love to see at ER is Zoltan Gera.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Glad someone knows a bit of class, I'd love to see him also, he'd be a star at ER

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Jun 2013 19:10:00
Yes please! He would be class in the championship

Agree0 Disagree0

Been speaking to a mate of mine who works at a football agency and he says the biggest problem for Leeds at the minute is that players on there books (and other players too) see them as a solid mid table team with an outside chance of promotion but nothing more. That is why we seem to fail to attract the big names every year as our reputation has been so damaged by the sharp decline with Risdale and the minimal progress under Bates. However he did offer hope by saying that opinions are changing with Bates and Warnock gone and GFH and McD in charge and that if we get a good start to the season we stand a good chance of attracting some good players come deadline day

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Thank you Captain Obvious!

Agree0 Disagree0

What a load of crap, that's only his opinion, Leeds are still the biggest club in the championship with more pulling power than any of em, the biggest problem is competing with the clubs that have large wads of cash, however, with what we have already and a few quality signings, expect us to challenge at the top.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yay it's silly season for rumours where everybody looks at the premiership released player list and picks a name at random before linking us with them. Yes we are looking at some of the names on there but every year we seem to get linked with 2/3 to 3/4 of the names on the list, more than most clubs.

Heard a few people mention Adomah. Think he would be a quality signing. We have any ambitions or promotion. We need a player of his quality on the wing. Also heard Jobi McAnuff. But can't see that happening personally
