Tom ince is a good player no doubt but what I would say is rember that he is young and he might not progress at all as many players never progress would we b� raving about him if he was 29 I mean rember how everybody thought david prutton was going to b� a world beater for the england national side when he was young he just never progressed as so many players before him but even so its unlikely he will go to leeds unless we pay a lot of money personally I would prefer a 25 year old over a 21 year old who has more ability cheaper with cheaper wages cause buying tom ince would take up more of the transfer budget we need a strong group not single talents, single talents do not get teams promoated from that division i'd swap tom ince for 2 better players even if there a bit older as long as there not too old and also not over the hill

First off, it's tough to believe that Leeds United will have a PL-style warchest this winter. Haigh & Co. are buying back Elland Road (according to all reports I've read), which costs about 15m.

I totally expect us to sign 1 or 2 players that require 7-digit transfer fees, but to spend 8m on a player is difficult to fathom.

Given that nearly all of the rumored players add width, will BmD keep the 5-3-2, revert to the 4-4-2 diamond, or change to a 3-5-2?

A single talent supplemented by a hard-working squad is what gains promotion!
But I am prepared to rely on BMD's judgement.

It's all hypothetical at the mo -but if we had the means, I would definitely push the boat out for Ince. Chapel A

Matt Ritchie to leeds leeds from bourmouth fc

Signed 3 year contract in Jan so I doubt it

Bournmouth wnt sell him he's there best player and they are pretty decent so dnt see why he would move.

Ironically I was checking this site earlier and saw the rumour regarding Austin to Norwich for £3m. Whether this was made up I'm not sure but I have a friend who is a Norwich fan who said the same rumour to me about a week ago!

I would hope we don't sell Rudy as it gives out the total wrong image that yet again another captain has left and we no longer apparently a selling club! I have seen some comments about snap their hands off for £3m which for me is ridiculous! As much as good new signings are important, retaining your best players is just as if not more important. I bet there were many Liverpool fans licking their lips at potentially £50m for Suarez and now look at the lad and what he's doing! And rosco the same. imagine where we'd be if we took £2.5m for him from boro?

No amount of money (within reason) for your top players is worth it when your sitting in the playoffs approaching January. Selling ruddy would be a nightmare for me. I just hope the other poster and my mate have caught wind of a dodgy rumour and there's nothing in it!

MOT!

Couldn't agree more mate! Completely baffles me that people would take money for one of our best players. Teams are hardly ever able to replace good players at this level with anything better. Some folk are never happy. Keep our skipper! MOT

It doesn't take a lot to come up with this rumour off the top of your head. The first thing Norwich/Leeds fans think is who is going from Leeds to Norwich and Austin and McCormack are the only two realistic answers. It's an obvious one to make up so I wouldn't take it seriously unless reported somewhere reputable. I trust the club not to sell our best players now

I hope the 2nd response is correct and is does seem feasible - like I said, I'm hoping this rumour is just dead in the water! And agree with the first response that teams find it hard to replace players. especially there best players.

i would take 3 mil for Austin . we would get a better player for less than that. Austin as been quite good for us but there's too many times he will attempt to shoot when he's not really in the right position or shaped correctly to take the shot on and he rushes it, especially towards the back end of the match when we are putting pressure on.

A better player than rudy for less than 3 mil, you should send your scouting cv to mcd we could do with you on the pay roll.
please name one realistic target for that money who can pass tackle, leed by example and boss a midfield as he can.

snoopy MOT

If anyone goes it should be clogger brown, doris norris, warnock, drury and 'andy cole' varney! (how many chances does the guy need to score!?) happy new year to all whites fans
