We havent yet but paul jewell has said hes missed out on him as pearce as all but signed for us
Agree0

Right on Sky Sports is it, why do people just lie, do really have nothing better to do! He may sign, he may not, but why say he has an its on skysports when its not!
Agree0

Isn't he contracted till may the first anyways
So it can't be revealed till his old deal runs out.

Jason Pearce and Greg Halford were not included in Pompey's match day squad today. Michael Appleton did say that those players who Pompey had received, and had accepted offers for, would not be included in todays squad. So am 100% certain that Pearce will complete deal when transfer window opens. With Halford also not being in today's squad am of the opinion that he will also be joining Leeds. Pompey fan.
Agree0

Good luck Pompey fan,on a swift return to the championship,we Leeds fans understand the miss management and its the fans it affects the most

Over ambitious for a player in the top 3 pass completion in the PREMIERSHIP, we should go after leadbitter

Couldn't agree more Leadbitter would be a fantastic signing....

First choice player for a prem club - silly rabbit
Agree0

Think there will be a few interesting signings just dont want diouf. Reports Smith considering coaching role at Newcastle , offer him same role here but signed on just in case.
Agree0
Disagree0
Coaching role at newcastle! has any of you got brains jesus!
Agree0
Disagree0
Leon britton has the best season pass completion in europe right now ahead of xavi and the like, why would leeds be able to sign him?? And why would they sell him for as little as 1.5 mil and more importantly where have we got 1.5 mil from when today we have just announced plans for a gaming complex at elland road??
Agree0
Disagree0
Haha leon britton. last post summed that 1 up. best passer in europe this season and you think he gonna dropto us from premier league. are you for real?
Agree0
Disagree0
All i've got to say is that he went to sheff united at the start of last season and never played so went back to swansea and look where he is now

According to a local paper in Munich called abendzeitung, hoffenheim forward Kevin Holland will not be renewing his loan spell at 1860 münchen in the summer and plans to move to England for a season with Leeds its showing interest.
Believable21
Unbelievable9
Im getting confused with this one as some people are saying Holland , Some Voller and some Volland , which is it. Voller seems to be Rudi's son. If he is hald as good as Yeboah or Hasselbaink then would be good , doubt it though
Agree0

Kevin Volland (born 30 July 1992 in Marktoberdorf, Bavaria) is a German footballer, who plays for TSV 1860 München on loan from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and previously the German under-19 national team.[1] He made his professional debut on 14 August 2010, when he came on for Djordje Rakic in the DFB-Pokal match against SC Verl.[2] When Hoffenheim reviewed Volland's contract in November 2011, they decided to extend his contract at the club until 2015. His contract at TSV München, however, expires in the summer of 2012.
He is presently in the roster for the Germany national under-21 football team.

With Neil Warnock's retained list coming out next week, this would be what I would like to see happen if I was him (but I'm not haha) And yeah we all know that Diouf's scum but these types of players are great to have on your side, a bit of unpredictability is what we need
GK: Lonergan
RB: NEW RB, SUGGESTIONS?
CB: NEW CB, SUGGESTIONS?
CB: Pearce (Seems done)
LB: NEW LB, SUGGESTIONS?
RM. Snodgrass
CM. Clayton
CM. Green (Likely)

ST. Somma
ST. Becchio
SUBS: Pugh, White, McCormack, Lees, Rogers
Reserves: Bruce, YOUNG LOAN GK, C.Taylor, Nunez, Turner, Turner, Brown, Poleon, Lenighan, Gimpel, OLD JOURNEYMAN WHO CAN PLAY UP FRONT, SUGGESTIONS?

Clint hill CB hopefully, maybe kevin davies as journeyman CF, and start looking at young hungry players for the squad from youth team and lower leagues!
Agree0

Somehow I just can't see a front pair of somma and becchio being NW's first choice next season. i get the feeling he'll bring in someone new up front
Agree0
Disagree0
Good post! I think that Paddy Kenny will be signed if QPR stay up? We do need a few experienced players in key postions, so add Hill, Bowyer or Derry and Diouf, who could all help the younger players from the U18's coming through. Gimpel looks quality!
Agree0

GK: Lonergan
RB: Gunter

Kevin davies is very unlikely and only possible if bolton relegated

Would like to see everyone at Elland Road on saturday giving Beckford and Schmeichel a good reception. They served us well
Believable23
Unbelievable7
Hope they would come back but that won't happen
Agree0
Disagree0
Beckford sold out for a better career so he can p..s off!!!! got far didnt he, no different than smith who everyone slags off but he was sold and made the club money this tosser did it to make himself rich!!
Agree0
Disagree0
So your saying you would rather welcome smith back to elland road than beckford? Lol good one
Agree0
Disagree0
Don't want schmeichel back. he is totally overrated and lonergan is far better. e caused our defense so many communication problems last season that, sure he made some fantastic saves but he became a liability for letting in really simple goals
Agree0
Disagree0
So your saying you'd not quit one job for a better paid one?
Agree0
Disagree0
Clayton, snodgrass, mccormack, bechio and lonergan could all leave and make more money but that doesnt mean we have to be happy about it
Agree0
Disagree0
Ur saying beckford shouldnt be welcomed back to ER cos he left a league 1 side for a top half premiership team, how can someone who scored the goal to get us out of league 1 and beat man united not be given a good welcome?
Agree0

Leeds are ready to sign Germany under 21 striker Kevin volland on a season long loan. His current loan spell at 1860 Munich from hoffenheim expires this summer and Warnock is keen to land the 19yo to boost Leeds promotion hopes. (Could be a good signing looking at his goal record)
Believable12
Unbelievable7
Like the look of him - maybe a loan with view to perm if promoted - Should be good with penalties

Is it Volland or Voller , both come up in wikki? Voller appears to be rudi's lad

Believable12
Unbelievable16
I'd love it but cannot see it. I think he may go premier league.
Agree0
Disagree0
Me too. would love to see rodriguez here, but expect him to be going to a permier league club like bolton(if they stay up). dont really want bowyer
Agree0
Disagree0
Bowyer would just be another (and admittedly better) michael brown. we need a player who still has experience but has legs as well, so someone around the age of 27-29 rather than 34 or whatever age he is.
Agree0
Disagree0
We do need someone with experience and legs but nothing wrong these days with players 30+ as they are a lot fitter than they used to be. I see a lot of similarities with Wilko's team here and Strachan , Chapman , Shutt , Davison etc were all journeymen but did the job and think thats what we need now then worry about next year next year. Lets bring the kids along as well. Would rather us play the kids today even if we got hammered just to see where they are. Lets face it Beckfords pace is going to be a problem today anyway, man mark him and let him lash out?

Rodrigues isnt even a free in the summer check your facts first

Owen Hargreaves, 31, will not be offered a new deal by Manchester City at the end of the season. Leeds United will be looking for his signature with a free transfer on the cards when he leaves Manchester City. Other clubs are interested in the England capped midfielder and will be looking to bring his experience and quality to their midfield but Leeds United are faverouites to secure his signature

Just read the article in the guardian. Nothing on there about Leeds
Agree0
Disagree0
Not sure. Hasn't played in ages. Pay as you play only
Agree0
Disagree0
I wouldnt mind for this to be true. would rip the championship apart. wages are an issue though
Agree0
Disagree0
I've got a feeling that wages wouldn't be so bad. The guy is aching to play regular and is a pro. Pay as you play would be a good idea but I think a years contract wouldn't be too hard to swallow. Stay fit, play well, get rewarded with a longer contract.
Agree0
Disagree0
Not a chance Bates will fork out for Hargreaves. His wages will be at least 5 times what he'd be willing to pay
Agree0
Disagree0
Hell of a shop window at Leeds if he only wanted to show case his talents
Agree0
Disagree0
With his track record I can't see him lasting too long in the championship without an injury
Agree0
Disagree0
Well once hes out of contract there may only be championship clubs after him so he would have no choice but to drop his wages or he could find himself getting nothing and sat at home
Agree0
Disagree0
You must be seeing things cause just been on the G and there is nothing on there you must of been sleeping
Agree0
Disagree0
Waste of wages - chances are he would only be fit for 10 games in the season anyway

Believable12
Unbelievable6
He said the seem thing when asked if he was takeing the leeds job
Agree0
Disagree0
Why no to diouf?? quality player at any level,he has pace,strength and is a real handful for any defence! i agree he is a bit wild and people dont like him but so is neil warnock and in fact so is leeds united football club! truth is we as a club have a better atmosphere and play a lot better when everyone hates us,it seems to galvanise us,look at 15 point deduction!! thats why i think its good that we have ken bates and neil warnock and possibly el hadj diouf cos everyone hates them and everyone hates us and we LOVE IT!
Agree0
Disagree0
I heard the interview, Warnock wouldnt be drawn kept saying the line was bad when Irani tried to get him to admit interest. Reading between lines we are defo interested in him. Warnock has sed we are too nice and need a bit of nastiness, Dioffe fits the bill, decent player horrible person. cant say I am too happy about him coming to Leeds but if he is the difference between success and failure I will be as fickle as the rest of them I suppose, we have to support and trust Neils judgement
Agree0
Disagree0
We need players like Diouf who can perform at Elland Road and start winning games at home again. To many of this seasons players are not good enough in front of a passionate home crowd. I'd get Bowyer and Diouf in for these reasons!

Would be an insane signing and would tear the championship up, but i dont see it as likely.

I would have thought loan signings would be the last thing they'd think about taking on. first and foremost, we need a squad. Then we will see what we can add to it when the transfer window shuts.
