Delph could be coming and Clapton could be going.i hope they both stay and beckford scored a hat-rick tonight for leicester so shut up about him coming to leeds

What is Clapton doing...playing "Wonderful toningt" ?

I never even knew Eric Clapton 'played' for us.

Not surprised if he goes - Clapton was never really that good at football

hope leeds was not in for delph and lichaj because we will have wasted time on them back to the drawing board it is then who will it be next then no one thats who or we will just miss out again lol

I find a bit atrange that we have to move for players that aint match fit. They will spend 2-4 weeks before being fully fit........ AND by then the season is over

To the above, the season is over in 2-4 weeks? This is big news to me!

Just heard on Yorkshire radio Simon Grayson has said Fabian Delph would fit the bill perfectly however he hasn't confirmed they have bid for him. Surely this has to come off ideally in time for weekend if this don't come off I feel the playoffs won't happen this year

This will not happen as it is just a con to sell season tickets. Remember during summer Woodgate and Smith, they were never coming.

Grayson did say he would fit the bill but in the same interview said he would not confirm who he was interested in. so until someone signs i doubt we will know anything about it.

This wont happen for the simple reason delph is quality and grayson would be confused into what position to play him in to make sure that he is played out of position goalie looks favourite

Leeds risk losing midfield dynamo Adam Clayton as contract talks have stalled.

Clayton has arguably been Leeds' stand-out performer this term with a number of impressive performances for Simon Grayson's men.

The 22-year-old has firmly established himself as a key player in the Leeds side after initially struggling to break into the team last season following his arrival from Manchester City.

Clayton has scooped several man of the match awards this term and has chipped in with five goals from midfield.

Clayton is in the final 18 months of his contract at Elland Road and the club have been locked in talks over an extension for some time.

However, both parties have been struggling to agree a deal and the news has alerted a number of clubs in the Premier League to Clayton's possible availability.

Clayton's suitors are now weighing up moves for the midfielder as they prepare to test Leeds' resolve to hang onto the player.

Clayton was great for the first few games this season but was average at best during November / December. I don't think his 18 months remaining contract is anywhere near the top of Leeds priority list.

How about bringing in quality players and agreeing new contracts with White and Howson who both are free agents come May.

There is a common thread here, contract talks keep stalling, its bates and harvey who keep trying to pay the players peanuts and then act all surprised when they reject initial offers

Never mind,Leeds Utd website reveals Parkers nearing full fitness,what a boon that will be eh,got to be one of the worst,injury prone players weve had,if hes a sign of things to come its God help us.

To the second poster - you'll be happy to hear Clayton is off then??
I don't think so. In my opinion he's been our best all year and now with Howson officially gone there can be no doubt about it.

Apparently we are bidding for a defender who plays there football in tunisia and has represented Cameroon at u21 level etc . 6 foot 3 yaya banana

He plays for the Tunisian champions and apparently is being looked at by souchoux or France? They are close to agreeing a bid. From what it says on a website but Leeds Want to snap up the powerhouse.

So hope this is true...know nothing about the guy but think of all amazing chants you can get out of a name like that!!

Leeds have tabled an offer of 950k apparently

Error, his name is Banana Yaya, only public school and military give the family name before the given name, Grayson Simon? He has played next to no games and so has not proven himself,but as is usual LUFC fashion is thought to be a punt at your reported fee. That amount would get a good starting right full back and left sided centre half from the Championship or Premiership reserves

Looks like Delph & Lichaj rumour could have legs. LEEDS want Aston Villa pair Fabian Delph and Eric Lichaj on loan.

Midfielder Delph was sold by United in 2009 for £6million but is out of favour at Villa.

Lichaj spent last term on loan at Leeds and manager Simon Grayson is after a right-back.

Grayson loves playing players out of position im surprised he hasnt thought about playing barndoor there lol
