Slovenian goalkeeper Darjan Curanovic hopes his trial at Leeds is successful enough to secure him a permanent switch to Elland Road.
The 27-year-old stopper was close to sealing a move to Middlesbrough and Portsmouth last season but nothing materialised.
And now Curanovic hopes that Yorkshire could be the place for him as he looks to fulfil his dream of playing in England.
"One of the goalies at Leeds United hurt his arm so they invited me to train with them. If everything goes by the plan there is also a chance for me to sign for Leeds, " he told Sport TV.
"Every player dreams about playing in England so I really hope that this will become reality for me. "

This story has already been rubbished - see below.
Its just lazy journalism. No Leeds Keeper has an arm injury either. Check out Thom Kirwins tweets. This story is bull ****.

It would have to be a pretty serious expansion to extend out of the Beeston area.

If GFH had the money to buy our ground back I don't think we would be waiting to get rid of players before we brought new in
Agree2
Disagree1
Be fantastic if we do buy back ER and TA, at this moment in time more concerned with potential signings if bein honest.
Agree2
Disagree1
Spot on George, await with intrest another show of ambition from GFH Murphy was a start but us fans want to see a few more players of similar potential coming in, not constant frees and loans.

Who said gfh are buying it back? Roumer has it red bull are buying it. Mot.
Agree0
Disagree2
Wake up will you can't just keep signing players without getting rid of some aswell
Agree0
Disagree0
We don't have to sell to buy more players, we have to get rid of the deadwood to free up wages. Different thing. GFH won't pay wages for nowt. No serious business would
Agree0

Building a club isn't all about investing in players. Buying back the ground would be a massive signal of intent, surely you can see that?
We've got a stable team who could well challenge this season, without making any rash signings. let's get our house in order rather than blowing money left right and centre on marquee signings.
We're all about long term visions now, not short term fixes. Personally, I'd rather get the ground back and not get promoted this season. It shows that the owners have a longer term plan than "Lets rush back into the Premiership because that's where the money is".
Agree0

GFH Can afford it and will be buying back elland road for an expansion
Agree0
Disagree0
They won't expand a stadium they can't fill so its on us to fill it an show some support for the club. I have my tickets. Not a ST holder or member (yet) but doing my bit. They will invest if we invest too
Agree0
Disagree0
They GFH provide a team on the pitch which can challenge and excite, then the fans will come back, if not crowds will again be poor, back in the summer of 89 ambition was shown and some top quality signings were made, the feel good factor&buzz and the team in them days ensured full houses, I hope to see another 2 to 3 signings coming in before august 3rd, not loans and frees but more players like murphy up and coming and hungry, who, l help improve the team and squad and get the fans excited.

Its been confirmed No Leeds goalkeeper has broken his arm. This keeper was referring to Jason Steele at Middlesborough 2 years ago when he nearly joined them after a trial. Where the Leeds link has come from is anyone's guess! Leeds no2 Jamie Ashdown has had a minor FOOT op not his ARM.

Lazy Journalism it seems in this case digging up a story from 2 years ago from his trial at boro, this keeper it seems did train with us last week, but nothing came from it.

Brian McDermott said today that 'talks ate ongoing' to secure the services of the forth Leeds signing this summer. Need at least two players off books before it can happen

Eddie grey in YP reckons it is a centre half. Personally I think a winger should be priority. Imagine makay-Stevens & adomah on wings!

Simple solution - get rid of Brown, Norris, Varney and Pugh for starters. Complete rubbish.

Norris is a good squad player but the rest had agree with

Easier said than done getting rid of any of our deadwood.

I'd keep Norris too, hard worker and plenty of energy. It says something though doesn't it that despite being only 2 weeks or so from the start of the season nobody whatsoever is linked with signing the likes of poo, brown, varney etc.
Agree0
Disagree1
Shows how bad things had become at the club, that the likes of Varney, Tonge Brown, Pugh x2 were brought in, cheap options, as the saying goes "you get what you pay for"
Agree0
Disagree0
Personally I think we need 3 players, 2 wingers and 1 centre half, whether we can afford that is a different question
Agree1
Disagree0
Not really a simple solution who is going to buy Brown? Varney is a good player and so is Pugh good utility player and Norris is a squad player. Drury, Ryan Hall players that we don't need.

Varney and Pugh good players? Are you serious?!

Rejected by portsmouth!
Agree0

Which keeper broke his arm? Kenny and Cairns have both been playing and Ashdown has a problem with his toe so who s he talking about?
Agree0
Disagree0
He is just trying to make a name for himself, he did the same when training with Portsmouth, BMc won't be signing him
Agree1
Disagree1
He wasn't rejected by Portsmouth, he rejected them!
Agree0

He was talking about when he was going to join Boro, it was their keeper who broke his arm. Another wrong news report

Watched him in a few games and i'd have him over ashdown everytime, great gk he is and him and kenny would b great

Keep dreaming pal

The lad looks dynamite at Youtube, but I've watched him in a couple of full matches. He tries and fails his magic so many times for each success shown at youtube, and his defencive work is terrible. There's a reason why he was released from PL. Exiting player, but needs improvement to be a regular at Leeds! Sure we really want him?
Agree0

15 Jul 2013 19:16:02
As opposed to Varney weaving his magic? He'd be a good signing!
Agree1

Varney scores headers and works harder than stevens
Agree0
Disagree4
We have Hunt and smith to score headers. We need someone to get the ball to the final third and s**t full backs up a little
Agree0

Yeah the reason being he picked up a serious injury while playing for the academy at liverpool that's why he got released {Ed001's Note - there were a few other issues, immaturity mainly, that led to his release.}
