Filip Kostić has been lined up as one of Brian McD's preferred signings.

Signed a contract last year, spurs and Anderlect were looking at him so it's doubtful

I'm not sure Kostic is a good idea. Quilting and knitting are far more popular these days.

I've heard that we might be after Tom Carroll on loan from spurs

Would be a wicked signing but that kid is too good for us, he could cut it in the prem now

No chance. This lad is very highly rated. He's already getting match time at Spuds.

It'll never happen, total BS.

Brian McDermott will have to wait until Ken Bates leaves his role as chairman on the 30th of June before he can sign Noel Hunt.

Bates will not rubber stamp a deal to sign the 30 year old on a 2 year deal worth around £1.5 million including a £250k signing on fee for Hunt.

Because he holds the lead chair his say is still massive in anybody we sign expect a lot of movement from July 1st.

Also contract on the table for Harry Forrester at Brentford, Leeds and Brentford have been trying to thrash out a deal for the compensation Brentford will be due but clubs are miles apart at the moment Leeds offering £350k Brentford wanting nearer £500k
expect this to go to tribunal unless another club matches Brentford valuation.

You haven't a clue, absolute poppycock.

Think 14k pw is a bit excessive for Noel hunt personally

I'm sure someone posted that there would be no compo as forester was at Cheski as a kid. It wouldn't suprise me if he did come to Leeds though I watched him play in the play off semi. He's not lightning quck but he is not slow very tricky puts good balls in the box as well. He got taken off in both games though and he had Swindons right back on toast may have a fitness issue, looked a v good player at that level though.

Forrester is out of contract! He's a free to whoever he chooses to sign for. Get your facts right. Somehow this devalues the rest of your post.

Harry forrester has already signed for another championship club

Actually if you read the post and do the Maths it's £12K per week. I'd say that was realistic for Hunt.

Bates has f*ck all to do with the clubs money now so stop spouting sh*te.

8 more days and bates is gone!!

Even though KB is still chairman, considering the fact that he won't be here or have any say in anything in just over a week's time suggests to me that, on a practical and long term basis, no decisions he makes at this point (if any) will have any bearing on what LUFC do.

Forrester will be available for free as he is a product of the Aston villa academy. Interestingly he turned down Ajax to sign for Brentford so he may have the right attitude and want to play football rather than earn £

Bates is old news!
The fact is ( not FACT so listen on!) the transfer window doesn't open until 1st July. That isn't to say deals can't be done but this must have some bearing on the timings of certain transfers.

"Even though KB is still chairman, considering the fact that he won't be here or have any say in anything in just over a week's time suggests to me that, on a practical and long term basis, no decisions he makes at this point (if any) will have any bearing on what LUFC do. "

You obviously haven't been around very long if you believe that?

Untill Bates is ACTUALLY totally gone (FACT FACT FACT!) he will ALWAYS have an influence on Leeds.

This is totally true, because whether or not he has any control over the club, there are still thousands of supporters, me included, that will not return to Elland Road untill he IS gone!

You can say all you want, but as a Leeds supporter of almost 50 years standing now (well at least most of it's been sitting down lately) I still have a problem with Bates being 'self appointed president'.

Now if GFH tell him to do one on 1st July we have a totally new ball game, quite literally. From that point in ER will be filled, top to bottom, front to back.

If you were a true Leeds supporter you would support wether Bates was president or not. More sh*t excuses not to go

In regards to the meeting that took place between McDermott and Shaun Harvey, BMC was told he can bring as much as 5 players with a wage budget to keep to (which is a reasonable amount) but will only be allowed to buy one player so make sure he uses the money wisely. also if he does impress and attracts bigger crowds then the possibility of another in January.

That's complete garbage.

This makes svense with regards 2 the mills loan!

22 Jun 2013 12:36:37
Sounds about right to me. Unfortunately we be pow these days, but with the supporters back and not having to run on a negative budget at least we can build for the future. We will be aiming to entertain and possibly fight for a playoff place this season. With the crowds coming back we can invest in the following season and give it a proper push to get back to where we belong.

That is not how a business runs

Buy one player. must be ronaldo then 65 mil should do it, but it is only one player so board will be ok, ronaldo should tick the impress and big crowds boxes as well

Glad you were able to attend the meeting to keep us informed.

Regarding the main post, sounds about right to me that, get feeling our signings will mainly be free and very cheap, and if lucky he, l be able to spend a bit on one.

If you knew who had wrote the post you would be surprised I am very much involved with what goes on at our club. Just giving our fans a bit of inside information. Regards.

That actually sounds like common sense. I hope the one bought signing is a real good one.

In response to the opening post, that's not how Leeds operate, Brian has 'x' amount of spend which consists of transfer fees, signing on fees, wages, loyalty bonuses etc, it all comes out of the same pot.

You were at the meeting then

And your intelligent enough to use a web chat forum rather than let the news out via YEP?. sneak it under the radar for the select few. I just love your concern to feed us BS when u know it would be challenged anywhere else

So your telling me he doesn't have a budget, he can just buy 1 player?

So this could be Messi or Bessone/Capaldi but whatever as long as he buys 1 players its ok?

Obviously full of hot air you feel the need to vent on here.

Obviously he has a budget never said he did not. He has been giving a amount and told he can only buy one player at a reasonable price. Not hear to argue with our supporters just to keep then in touch with the club. And I don't talk rubbish mark my words.

Leeds United are lining up a bit for Wolves midfielder Jamie O'hara.

He he got his head down he would be good for Leeds, can't see this happening though.

Good, I really hope so. He would shine at Leeds. Good engine, can tackle, can score and good ball distribution
Get knocking on his door Big Bri

Just a bit? Doesn't sound very committed to me.

Wolves paid 3. 5 m for him and he has two years to run on his contract. This is doubtful

22 Jun 2013 13:40:04
Read the Wolves message boards and you may have a different opinion of O'Hara. They hate him and say he puts in little effort.

Few years ago would have been happy to be linked to o hara, not now.

Wolves have stated that they have had no offers or interest for O'hara

Would just b another terrible player like austin, who just shoots all game and lacks any skill
