Right then.
Looks like one of the Coventry lads is signing for us. This deal been kept quite.
Dom is going out on loan.
Been couple of offers for Luke. We want a transfer not a loan.
Ross enquiry told and 99 million buy BMD so he isn't going anywhere.
Norris to Charlton on a free
BMD gives list of 4 more players to Paul Hunt.
So this would mean
Kebe
Stewart
Dale Stephen
Clarke/Wilson
Will Grigg
A keeper. 4 possibilities
Alex Pearce

That depends on of anyone becomes a available.

Would be happy with Dale Stephens

Leon Clarke would be good

dont want to bring it back up but bolton in truble so what about our fav bekford

Wolves are tipped to get Leon Clarke

Beckford? He would certainly fit in with the 10 men who went missing yesterday!
In reality a Loan would be very interesting to see if it's true that he can only play well for leeds, but he is an overpaid, selfish player and there lies the problem

Leon Clarke has put in a transfer request. Wolves, Brighton and Barnsley interested.
CL

Hope the Coventry player is Moussa, think he would make a difference in our midfield.

It's Clarke happy with this. He was left out of cov squad against Crawley

Heard Moussa is pretty decent, scores cracking goals, good passer. 24 is a good age too. Him and either Dorrans/Charlie Adam wld be my targets.

Is that the same Charlie Adam that's a regular in the Stoke team. Some people need to take a reality check and just talk about realistic targets for a poor mid table championship team which Leeds are at present and are likely to be for a long time yet

Leon Clarke really! A Journey man striker who at 28 has played for 14 different clubs and has a strike rate of over one goal every three games (not bad but the goals are scored in the lower leagues), he is having a cracking season for his club however before that struggled to muster more than 10 goals a season. Do you think that description sounds like another striker we have signed? Billy Paynter - That worked out well didn't it

Still a better option than becchio though. No pace, 2nd touch a tackle and most of his goals were also in league 1

The ever unreliable Sun had linked us with a move for Luciano Becchio.

Nicky Maynard is also going to Wigan, Billy Sharp and Le Fondre available too.

Becchio not even on the bench yesterday. Doubt he's injured as my Grandad has had more playing time than him recently and he's been dead five years. Not sure if i'd want him back but thanks for the memories in any case Lucky!

Mad Mick

Leeds fan here I think that becchio would be great as Matt smith does well but becchio plays the same but got a lot more goals

Get all of them if possible.

Sick of hearing about becchio take him 2 month to get up to full match fitness for a start, plus why would we need a striker when defence and midfield can't even link 3 passes together, need a old school cm who can't tackle and distribute and a cdefender who can erm defend. And a passfrom our goalkeeper rather than lumping it once in a while, I know Kennys a great shot stopper but he either a) needs competition for motivation or b) needs replacing with a talented youngster. Just my opinion though.

Leave Becchio where he is. I'd take the others at the right price.

Why did becchio leave Leeds? Was it because he wanted to go?

Whats that saying you make you bed you lie in it he left for money he got what he wanted anyone he should stop moaning anyone would leave for more money you would be crazy not to think so footballs a short career and I can't blame anyone leaving for more money anyone who reads this will think the same but with becchio he ain't fit plus his a confidence player how long would it take him to start scoring again plus his getting older by the second bad resigning in my opinion could waste 10 games of our season without scoring easily bring in a player who wants to play for leeds united in my opinion leeds need enougher defender a midfielder to partner with luke murphy and a striker MOT

Well I say what can possibly go wrong with bringing becchio back. give the lad a chance. any one of you on here were offered a new job with even mroe money you would jump at the chance so just because its a football team then he's the worst person on earth. nobody can take away what he done for the club so he may have a bigger point to prove second time round

Billy Sharp is signing for Reading

Do some fans actually believe Becchio will just get the ball and score? He wouldn't have scored against Wendy if he were there and he won't add anything we don't already have. We need midfielders to put the ball in the box and create chances.
