Edoardo Cellinos twitter stating that leeds have signed a new left back be intresting to see who it is
and seen as how we are on the lookout for two new keepers would love it if Adam McCarthy came back kid is one of the best keepers england have produced in a long time although he is undisputed number 1 at reading that bentley kid at southend has a lot of potential too

Rumour has it that it is Matthew Briggs from Fulham

A few rumours it's Aaron cresswell, I certainly hope so

I think you meant ALEX McCarthy?

It's Matthew Briggs from Fulham. Surely this will mean time up for Pugh.

Someone like George Friend? Presumably Warnock will be listed then, in addition to the release of the hapless Pugh? Personally, I wouldn't object to leaving it to White and Taylor to fight it out. Chapel A

Jesus, check out Briggs' credentials -a grand total of 30 career appearances since 2006! Including 13 for his parent club Fulham throughout that time. All that by the age of 23! No wonder us hardened know-alls haven't even registered his existence. Please no. Chapel A

Cresswell is Southampton bound according to my mates in Ipswich to replace Luke Shaw

Tommy Rowe at Peterborough is out of contract we were linked heaverly in summer last year

Rowe is a decent call. Chapel A

McCarthy will go to a top PL club and we couldn't afford him anyway.

Cresswell will probably go prem but would be a brilliant signing. Tommy Rowe is old news. Charlie Taylor sounds possibly ready to make the step up so would be disappointing to see him not given a chance.

Harry mguire and assombalonga

More likely to be Charlie Taylor's new contract offer. New, may be a red herring.

Cellino jr on twitter saying we have agreed to sign a English LB who could this be?

Is Mauricio Pinilla to be the first to sign for the mighty whites, the 30 yr old Chilean striker is leaving Cagliari for pastures new, even though he has a contract till 2015. I am fairly sure he played for hearts, so no culture shock for him. thoughts. MOT

He played 2 games for Hearts. He had a lot of injury problems

Not another 30 year old. Would prefer the 23 year old Colombian lad if we're going to go after one of their forwards. Chapel A

He denied joining us a couple of weeks ago. Non runner

Saw it on ssn.com - your club - Leeds Utd, that he had no intention of coming to Leeds or england for that matter! I'd love to see ibarbo or if that fails a Cameron Jerome 'type'

Pinilla and that Conti guy (their 35 year old over the hill captain) are the 2 players to distance themselves from a move so far. Ibarbo and a couple of young hungry Italians would be a good shout

Posted at 8.00 this morning. Massimo Cellino is preparing to hand over Cagliari, while the owner of Leeds United has talked about the financial situation of the English club.
These are the words as reported by La Nuova Sardegna. "We have tens of millions of pounds in the red, But I'll never get Leeds into administration.
Administration has never happened to any of my companies, and will not happen here either.
Debts are higher than what I expected, But we'll get through. I'm used too problems, if you need to mow the grass (refers to personnel cuts).
This is a wonderful adventure that will target a return of Leeds United in two years in the Premier League. "

you just got to admire this man, every other day there is another pile of crap comes his way, yet he remains optimistic, just like a real Leeds fan. MOT

Are you saying he as sold Caligari?

Original poster. hope this helps it is 99% done. yesterday.
A consortium of American businessman continue to take steps to purchase Cagliari from current owner Massimo Cellino.

The American’s Italian representative, Luca Silvestrone, arrived at the club to inspect the facilities.

Silvestrone was accompanied by architect Dan Meis, who is currently designing a new stadium for Roma.

Together Meis and Silvestrone visited the stadium Friday morning, before meeting with Cagliari mayor Massimo Zedda as the new owners look into the possibility of building a new stadium ahead of a possible purchase.

Cellino has owned the Rossoblu since 1992 but he recently became the majority shareholder of Leeds United in the English Championship.
