Apparently El Hadj Diouf has been attacked in a Dakar restaurant {Ed013's Note - It is true mate, last weekend I think}

Believable41 Unbelievable15

Hoe is the other guy? {Ed013's Note - Locals I think}

Agree0 Disagree0

Good he's had that coming to him for along time

Agree0 Disagree0

Been confirmed that he wasn't hurt, hardly lasted 3 seconds according to bar owner

Agree0 Disagree0

Load of rubbish, don't read the sun!

Agree0 Disagree0

This was the same paper that exposed his philandering and so to add credence to their story they print this, apparently it was nothing just a bit of shoving and shouting, don't believe the hype.

Agree0 Disagree0

He should try ordering a pint in Barnsley.

All major radio stations over here are saying that we are in talks with Wolves to sign Doyle and Hunt. Both would be good signings IMO.

Lots of major radio stations In Dublin
What ones
Fm104
Dub white

Agree0 Disagree1

Fm104?
didnt hear that now meself

eirewhite

Agree0 Disagree0

Noel hunt will sign we have no money its the best kept secrect in football we will just get frees there are some good players that have and are going to be released

Agree0 Disagree0

Hunt deal looks pretty certain now

Agree0 Disagree0

I thought we had turned things around financialy. We heard a week or so back about a new investor at the club. What will he be putting into the club if its not money. We need a fighting fund. It will be hard to get promotion with freebies.

Agree0 Disagree0

Doyle - not a goalscorer! Hunt - please No. We want some exciting players that will entice crowds back. A good few clubs with bigger attendances last season and therefore more money! Won't sell much in the Club Shop based on either of this pair!

Agree0 Disagree0

Believable27 Unbelievable50

"lefondre, jerome thomas and matt kilgallon will be signed on july 1st all are done deals"

Like to put a tenner on this then?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope they all come to leeds :]

I'd like to see all three but we'd have heard about it from a more reliable source me thinks.

Im hearing that Sam Byram will be signed by Manchester United for a fee rising to 10m & loaned back to us for the the 2013/14 season. Part of the deal would allow us to take two United youngsters on loan for the season. I hope this is not true as i'd hate to lose him to them, but my source is reliable. MOT

Believable14 Unbelievable83

If you're a Leeds fan referring to man united as 'united', you need to give your head a shake.

Agree7 Disagree0

Obv a bitter Man United fan posting this. this rumour is complete nonsense.

Agree2 Disagree0

What a joker, obvs a fan jealous that we can PRODUCE talent instead of buying it.

Agree2 Disagree0

If it were true, god lord snap their hand off! 10million plus having byram on loan for the season? plus other loanees? anyone is seriously deluded if they think this would be a bad offer. think of what you could buy with 10million!

Agree1 Disagree0

Sorry but as posted before moyes was keen on byram at everton 8 mil but at s**m 12m

Agree0 Disagree0

Hopefully our new owners and manager have a little more sense that to sell Byram to S**m. It doesn't matter how much the sums add up GFH and McDermott must know how that would destroy any relationship they have built up with the Leeds fanbase at a stroke. They can't afford to do that.

Agree1 Disagree1

Cant you just say a fan here with a cockney accent and then we would all belive you (not ) now get back on your own page

Agree0 Disagree0

" It doesn't matter how much the sums add up GFH and McDermott must know how that would destroy any relationship they have built up with the Leeds fanbase at a stroke. They can't afford to do that. "

Er, much as I would hate to lose Byram your sentiments are wrongly placed. GFH are in this for one reason, and it isn't to keep us happy. McDermott wouldn't have a say in it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Business is business. Like ferdi. 10mill loan back and two youngess ( not that we need them) too good to turn down. don't give a carp where the money comes from. Got a feeling everything is going to go pear shaped for moyes, so plenty of laughs to come.

Agree1 Disagree0

Really, some people need to get a sense of perspective, here. We're not even in the same footballing hemisphere as Man United. I'd happily take 10million plus from them if it helps us close the seemingly impossible gap.
We need funds and however promising Byram is, we'd be better off capitalising on his potential in transfer fees than performances on the pitch. If loaned back for a season, this would be a great deal.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just think of what 10 million would buy bates and ghf capital. Maybe a new house in monaco or some more corparate seating! personally I think untrue but ya never know what will do next

Agree0 Disagree0

Shove 10 mill, Byrams staying, building for the future with OUR youngsters

Agree0 Disagree0

"we'd be better off capitalising on his potential in transfer fees than performances on the pitch"

So how we ever going to close the gap up then, money dosent win you games, the performance of the players do and with one of the best rb in the league u can't take that for granted

Agree0 Disagree0

"we'd be better off capitalising on his potential"
I posted that. In response; the longer he stays, the less likely that a 10 million offer comes in for him. If he has an injury or a poor season, you'd watch that valuation fall quite rapidly.
Difficult age, he's at at the moment. Yes, closing the gap is about getting quality throughout the squad. We're almost a whole squad short of that thanks to Warnock and Bates so, yes. Take the money now an invest wisely. One great potential is a luxury we can't really afford when we're so lacking everywhere else.

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh dear oh dear, firstly think this would be a good deal, seen bryon play a good few times this season and he is good but not great (positioning and heading are weak he has cost us a few goals this year) think this deal would be good and better than what he will go for. Secondly (and now I love leeds) but two of the posts on here need to be looked at, bitter man u fans (bitter of what? winning lots and seeing us rot?) and the other one leeds a team that produces it's own players because man u have never done that. I am all up for support of our team but try not to sound mental. finally to the other poster what is wrong with having a cockney accent? I am london based but love leeds and know all the romours the two man u players coming on loan will be eva and RVP fact. MOT leeds up through playoff this season

Leeds to go all out to sign Adel Taraabt, he has had a couple of run ins with QPR lately and is unsettled.

Believable23 Unbelievable45

Why would he come to leeds when he is high in demand from french and italians teams. just plain rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

So far today I've read on here that Adel Taraabt, Darren Bent and Peter Odemwinge are joining Leeds.

For some strange reason and I don't know why I think a few people could be telling porkies. {Ed013's Note - It could be rumours that they have been told and therefore they have put them on a rumour site. At least it doesn't say FACT or I have seen etc}

Agree1 Disagree0

Why would BM go for a lazy, disruptive individual like Tarabt! Not the sort of player we want anywhere near us.

Agree0 Disagree0

WAGES! surely too high for us!

Agree0 Disagree0

Wages and transfer fee too high for us

Agree0 Disagree0

Leeds interested in Rochdale youngster Mathew Pearson also linked with a late swoop for out of contract West Brom winger Jerome Thomas

Believable56 Unbelievable21

A youngster who can't even get in a poor Rochdale team? Was loaned to Halifax Town this year. Can't see it to be fair. :)

Agree0 Disagree0

23 May 2013 13:08:07
just seen peter odewinigi pull up outside elland road! FACT! {Ed013's Note -If this is true and you saw him, how did you get to London so fast? Also if he was signing he would be at Thorpe Arch unless he was at the clubs shop. I have to ask due to all the bull that comes through. Best thing to do is take a picture and send it in}

Believable9 Unbelievable76

Well said ed, Be nice if some of these rumours had some substance.
Or do we all just dream to much.

Agree0 Disagree0

But he said "FACT" - Seems legit to me.

Agree2 Disagree0

Maybe he has great eye sight or owns a private jet, also new club owners have no money means new players have to buy kit from club shop so it all makes sense. people do not put fact on here unless it is fact. deal with it ed. also just saw alan smith at same club shop. it's end of season so someone has to start the yearly alan smith rumours. fact! {Ed013's Note - FACT I am off to the little mens room}

Agree0 Disagree0

He pulled up outside lotus road 4 months ago. doesn't mean anything!

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would we go for a plkayer who has shown no loyalty to his club or team mates show him the door!

Agree0 Disagree0

Tbf to the original poster I think it was intended as a joke. {Ed013's Note - If so the amount of made up posts being sent in were getting out of hand for a joke and wasting my time}

Agree0 Disagree0

Cannot really see him slumming it in the Championship. Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope he comes to leeds

Agree0 Disagree0

Smith can't get on 4 mk he ain't going 2 get on 4 LEEDS fact

Agree0 Disagree0

Eric Lichaj released by Aston Villa.

Believable58 Unbelievable13

Do not want him. he was with us before and was mediocre. NO THANKS

Agree1 Disagree0

We need to get him in solid in either full back position and has a great long throw sign him up

Agree1 Disagree1

This is true so what? Do we really want a defender from a very poor premier league team with a very poor defence? Not for me-we have better already and that's saying something!

Agree0 Disagree0

He'd be a replacement for Sam Byram who (Let's be realistic) is leaving us soon : (

MOT

Agree0 Disagree1

No way will he come, he is only after as much money as he can get, so no chance of a big pay day at Leeds.

Agree0 Disagree0

Was OK (though his period here did coincide with a drop off in form by the team as a whole). With Byram and Peltier here already, the question does have to be: do we really need him right now? Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd take him. Did well when he was here last time. Him RB and push Sam onto the right hand side of the midfield for me.

Agree1 Disagree0

23 May 2013 10:27:30
heard a strong rumour that we are signing Dean Whitehead from stoke. MOT

Believable32 Unbelievable32

I wouldn't have thought strengthening our Centre Midfield would be McDermott's main priority.

I think centre of the midfield won't be analysed just yet till late pre-season, as I'm sure he will want a closer look at player's like Thompson, and Dawson.

Agree0 Disagree0

Are centre midfield is pretty dire, Austin had a couple of decent games all season and don't mind green but feel we do need strengthening in this area. Obviously priority is getting wingers in but I would be very disapointed if not centre mdifield were brought in and if it was dean whitehead, i'd be even more disappointed. We need some youth, don't think Dawson will play a major role next season yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont need him

Agree0 Disagree0

We need a quality playmaker like all good teams most important position on the pitch get us a quality general cm and decent wide players

Agree0 Disagree0

23 May 2013 10:21:45
bent set to exit villa he's worth a go

Believable36 Unbelievable53

Isn't Darren Bent Villa's highest earner? I'm sure he's on +80K.

Bent's past and reputation alone will see him get another premiership club with ease.

Agree0 Disagree0

Again wages would be out of our league

Agree0 Disagree1

Bents rubbish IMO couldn't hit a cows a*s with a banjo

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol he will get another prem team wanting him, he's still prem class we have no chance atall with that 1

Agree0 Disagree0

Have we suddenly got £10 million and a wage budget to rival man city? At least try to be realistic.

Agree0 Disagree0

Love him to come to leeds

Agree0 Disagree0

23 May 2013 16:56:20
He would be a expensive sick note!

Agree0 Disagree0

'Bents rubbish IMO couldn't hit a cows a*s with a banjo'. 179 goals in 426 games (an ave of a goal every 2. 3 games) all within the top 2 tiers says otherwise.

I do think though that his wages will be out of our league and has had a poor fitness record over last few seasons

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe in 5 years time, if we're still stuck in this damned league! But at the present team, he will still be very appealing to the Stokes of this world. Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

But then a history of misses from 5 yards with an open goal aren't exactly prolific

Agree0 Disagree0

23 May 2013 07:54:05
Paper saying mcdormett wants to reunite with Kevin Doyle and Stephen hunt
Even though wolves got relegated I still think Doyle will do good for us if he joined us
Doyle and sharp upfront with Morrison has backup good attack
What do people think

Believable34 Unbelievable37

Morison? Get a grip, doesn't want to be here. Can see BM off loading him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Doyle and Sharp? how much money do you think we have, Doyle would cost at least a couple of million

Agree0 Disagree0

Wtf u seem 2 have forgot mccormack who will b our main st, sell morrison and buy a starting 11 st to go with ross and buy a sub st. doyle is rubbish, sharpe is 2 good 4 us

Agree0 Disagree0

No doyle, mccormack and sharp back up

Agree0 Disagree0

Is it just me. I think Doyle is really bad, love sharp, love mccormack and I am one of the few who think morrison will be a huge player for us next year and Austin once fit he will be one of the best players in the leauge I fancy us for the playoffs next year. only to lose in the final. oh to be a leeds fan. MOT

Agree1 Disagree0

I don't think doyle would cost as much as a million or so, sakho is a good player and maybe a few of there defenders that have prem lge expereince would be good

Agree0 Disagree0

Hmm. Though not without talent, I'm not sure that either has been either particularly prolific or effective of late. And more the sort of age you'd expect of a Warnock signing! Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

So that's doyle sharpe morrison mcormack varney diouf and poleon. How many forwards do you want?
I think the doyle thing has something behind it alright what with mc ds history and irish connection but it will be one or another I think, unless he ships out reg and morrison

Agree0 Disagree0
