These are the transfers happening in the next month.

Noel Hunt - free

Harry Forrester - compensation

Christopher Forrester ( McDermott has scouted him previously playing for st pats, he's a real talent ) -
compensation

Matt Mills - season loan

Reece Wabara - compensation

Brian is looking for a playmaker in midfield as well but this will be the surprise signing.

I will be happy with these, considering no transfer fees as well!

MOT

Sounds pretty good would defo take those players we need a creative midfielder and it'll be good (to partner greeny)

Pretty sure wabara has a year left at city?

What do you think compensation is
A few footballs and a training kit if these players are that good compensation will be in the hundreds of thousands each which Leeds don't have
Ha ha

The above would be fantastic. With the super playmaker too. Still not 100% convinced with the strikers we have. one of our strikers will have to be something different from before - prolific!

Chris Forrester has not been approached by anybody from Leeds according to the lad himself.

Leeds and St. Pats Fan

Chris Forrester is a decent player.
Winger, pretty tall winger, quickish. Will be a decent addition but won't set the league on fire, but I could be wrong, I usually am lol

Leeds united are lining up a bid for Birmingham City's Darren Ambrose.

26 Jun 2013 00:49:09
Would brilliant sighning good pace, brilliant shot

Dont think it will happen though

#mot

Always been an admirer of Ambrose. for the MANY years he's been playing.
Still got some quality but no real longevity.
Younger and hungrier available.

Rumour is that David Bentley is set to sign for Leeds?! How true, I don't know. MOT

Does he fit the young hungry player? He's an infuriating player, a waste of talent but a better wide option than we have at the mo ha

NOT A CHANCE BUDDY!

We can't even afford tommy rowe from peterbourgh how can we aff him

Careers over, never was the same player after he left blackburn to join spurs.

Great player for a half season.
Miles better than any of the wingers we currently. hang on. have we actually got any wingers?

Leeds to sign beckford on a two year deal, going to steal him
From Bolton, few around £900k also he will take a wage decrease to join his beloved Leeds
Itk source
Cropper

Think it's time everyone moved on from these Beckford rumours. Yes would love to see him back in a Leeds shirt, he's head and shoulders above any current striker we have, but it just isn't going to happen. GFH have got no money so it's loans and freebies at best again

Would be great to have him back - missed all his great goals. Our forwards just don't do the business!

Dont know whether it would be good or bad for us Roy?

LUFC KEK

Will someone explain to me why Beckford would be a good signing? He's a league 1 striker on prem wages! The stats prove it! One good goal at Old Trafford doesn't make him awesome. Wake up!

Beckford profile:
- young and hungry: no
- hard working: no
- team player: no
- defensive skills: bad
- affordable: probably no
- fits gaffers system: probably no
- goal scorer: yes

Honestly: I'd love to see Beckford in our squad! But would be waste of money in sense that limited (?) funds can surely be more wisely spent! That's gaffer's strenght - no way he'll go for Beckford, and pretty tired of this nonsense. !

With the rubbish forwards we have, can't understand any negativity towards Beckford. Proven goalscorer and brings excitement - something that some of our fans have clearly forgotten about. Take Bryam out, there is hardly anyone worth getting excited about in the Leeds squad.

Rubbish forwards?
McCormack - no, Morison and Smith as yet unproven and must be given their chance. Varney - agreed.

JDC

Proven goal scorer in league 1. Short memories!

26 Jun 2013 00:20:27
Agree with first post, but anyway we can't afford tommy rowe how can we afford beckford

McCormack - very poor goalscoring record for Leeds last season - 8 goals from 40 games (including 8 sub appearances) - really poor from our so called main striker. Morison - missed loads of chances last season (was much harder to miss in some cases) and for a senior type of player - his form was poor at best. Varney - just rubbish and reckless. None of these excite the crowd. Smith - I like the look of him - unproven but looking forward to see how he plays. Easy to see how Beckford is just what we need to liven things up and with Smith probably winning. knocking on a lot of balls, Beckford would thrive on this supply.

26 Jun 2013 10:26:45
he's a good player but I doubt that he would choose us over money, especially seeing how we did last season.

Beckford has failed in the championship, he was good once I admit but it was in league 1 so quit with all this oh he's soo good and he's just what we need, no what we need is a proven goalscorer and mainly a teamplayer as the only reason ross ain't been great is cus of the rest of our greedy team aka austin. pass to the strikers and create a good chance and ross will finish as he's proved year after year and morrison hasn't been given a decent chance with us and he's 1 of a few that give 100% every game and tbh i'd prefer someone like him than diouf or varney or austin who are just here 4 themselves simple as that. austin is the weak link in our team. shoots from anywhere and misses mostly and he should b passing as he's not a striker.

If Beckford came back, my season ticket is getting ditched. Simply not good enough.

I'll help you ditch your season ticket - clearly you don't recognise quality. There is no way you can be happy with the strikers at ER. McDermott - get the man home!

27 Jun 2013 08:22:54
Beckford is simply only consistent in League One, so he should concentrate on staying with clubs in this division. He has not scored anywhere near the required number of goals required for any team he has played for in the EPL or The Championship.

Some fans need to forget why Beckford left and see a bigger picture which includes a lot of dismal Leeds players. Beckford would be a great signing and show a strong signal of intent. Come on Beckford - get the contract signed.

Beckford aside, Leeds do not have £90. 000 never mind £900. 000. The club is skint and it will show in the quality of any signings we make ie loans and freebies.
The GFH takover has been a complete farce. McDermott has stated there are no funds in place for transfers despite assurances that there would be. Sound familiar?

I hear Norwich may be making a bid for byram.
If he has any sense he will stay with the mighty whites!
Just look at Becchio

Alright becchio and howson have flopped at Norwich but just look at sniffy and Johnson. I doubt they will bid enough for him

If the Bechio deal was anything to go buy we'll probably give them Byram and a couple of hundred quid in exchange for one of their ball boys, providing they can find one who's injured and of no real use to them or us.

If and when Byram do go, it, l be to a bigger and better club than Norwich City.

We might as well all become Norwich supporters at this rate. or at least we should hold Delia hostage until they stop pinching our best players. Anyone any better ideas?

27 Jun 2013 00:26:45
Tell her to give us some players. Oh wait I forgot they all are leeds players

Look at Becchio? No thanks. hope I never have to look at the s*** b*****d again! :)
