Grot a done deal pending a medical

23 Aug 2017 22:17:53
His acquisition will bring a RAY of SUNSHINE. 2 jokes in 1 there.

24 Aug 2017 14:59:31
The media asked him to say something. He replied "I am Grot" (lol for anyone that's seen the movie Guardians of the Galaxy).

{Ed033's Note - Pity he didn't say, "I am Grot bags" 😋

doesn't look as scary as she did when i was a kid.

23 Aug 2017 18:54:10
With regards to Ross McCormack are we interested or is it just media hype ?

23 Aug 2017 19:39:05
I'm praying just media hype Rich, in my opinion and everyone's is different but I would think it would be a major step back and he could turn out to be a bad influence! It's no coincidence that Forest didn't want him back, Villa, Sunderland and Fulham don't want but good news for him is at least he will have some spare time to sort his gates out! MOT

Very Good Mike lol

23 Aug 2017 21:59:52
Fake news!

24 Aug 2017 00:45:33
Leeds City Council should block a possible return on Environmental Health grounds

23 Aug 2017 14:00:26
apparently we are trying to negotiate a £2m buy or a loan for Crystal Palace midfielder Jordan Mutch.

23 Aug 2017 15:01:03
How MUTCH? had too

23 Aug 2017 15:23:05
2m isn't mutch. Actually on this occasion it is! Would be an astute signing.

23 Aug 2017 16:47:10
It's all Mutch of a Mutchness really

23 Aug 2017 18:47:10
I wouldn't read mutch into that rumour

23 Aug 2017 22:16:21
Mutch has been said about this story

24 Aug 2017 00:00:07
Too mutch

24 Aug 2017 00:43:46
Mutch too mutch!

24 Aug 2017 01:01:54
I wish you would all grow up, there is far too mtch immature behaviour on here, we should have much more grown ups on here, but I suppose it's too mutch to ask! MOT

22 Aug 2017 12:31:33
And that is why Green is not first choice anymore! 3 clean sheets against Preston, Fulham and Sunderland says it all. MOT

23 Aug 2017 12:59:42
To be fair to Green Mike, Wiedwald shipped a couple of sloppy goals his first two games and he got a lot more of the pre season games to shake off any ring rust. I didn't see anything in the 3 clean sheets that Green wouldn't have dealt with when match fit last season.

23 Aug 2017 14:31:40
Agree gummie. Bit unfair on green
He finished season well. Imo should have got the nod to start. But didnt. So until wield makes a mistake or 3. Green will have to be patient. If wield dosent make a mistake or 3. i'm as happy as larry.

23 Aug 2017 21:57:01
Very harsh Mikey boy. Green was my 2nd place for player of last season, warrants a heck of a lot of respect. Still a little rusty maybe and just needs games and still my no. 1 choice keeper.

24 Aug 2017 03:25:02
Your right gents, in all truth I actually posted that just after he conceded the goal, so in truth it was more of a blurt it out before thinking about it! He played well for us last season and it would be a big loss if he left, so I take it back! What would I do if I didn't have you lads putting me in line! Cheers lads. MOT

23 Aug 2017 12:07:27
Can anyone put to bed the Jordan Rhodes rumour. Spoken to a few people over the last two days who have been spot on with other signings who seem to think it's definitely more than just a rumour.

23 Aug 2017 13:04:25
Bookies have us favorite is why it won't go away. That said I don't know why people are so down on the prospect, over 90 goals in under 210 appearances in the Championship, might not be the best player in the Lg but neither was Beckford, he scored goals and won points, that was all that really mattered.

23 Aug 2017 13:57:13
I just can't see us spending that kind of money on one player Gummie - its a risk and one that Radz is unlikely to take based on what he has done so far.

23 Aug 2017 14:33:12
Is it so big a risk Alf? He has had a poor season so his price will have gone down, reckon they would take £8m for him, but he has been the most consistent striker in the lower leagues over the last 7 or so years. £15m for Hogan was a risk, same for an injury prone Assombalonga, £8m-10m for Rhodes is about as safe a bit of business as we could do especially with players like Alioski, Hernandez and Saiz feeding him chances all game long.

23 Aug 2017 14:35:59
I tend to make a judgement on a players worth on his recent displays s s s. If he ain't getting regular first team action. With his history of scoring. there's a reason for it.

23 Aug 2017 14:56:59
Thats fair Aus but sometimes a player just can't make it work at a club for some reason, that's why I prefer to look at track record over one bad season. We have had more than a few signings do nothing for us then go on to do well elsewhere, every club has. In the current market Rhodes is worth £15m when on form, that's just the going rate right now, I'd rather pay £8m for him out of form and let TC work some magic to get his mojo back.

23 Aug 2017 15:28:04
Gummie. JR shouldn't go for more than 5.5m on current form. I'd much prefer Gestede over Rhodes. The way we play we don't need Rhodes. Don't think he'd fit in but Gestede would in my opinion.

23 Aug 2017 15:52:53
Rather have a 1 in 2 striker for £8m than a 1 in 4 personally George, would leave Gestede where he is, eating Monks wage budget. Oliveira, Ulloa or Hemed maybe though, if we keep it domestic.

23 Aug 2017 07:41:27
Grot is supposedly in Leeds today for a medical and for talks. Not sure if he is one for the first team or for the development squad though.

23 Aug 2017 12:19:03
First team you would imagine, given he was playing in the Eredivisie last year.

23 Aug 2017 12:30:02
First team, given he was playing in the Eredivisie last season.

23 Aug 2017 13:13:22
First team but not as a starter would be the guess, might have to battle Ekuban and/or Roofe to stay that way when Ekuban gets back from injury though.
