y. e. p. reporting Morrison on verge of joining millwall on season loan so we can use his wages to bring hunt in

Tis true just read on o s

Apparently we are after Noel's brother Noak Hunt! Got this off my terriors friend! Apparently we are a bit of a laughing stock and got no real ammunition to fight back!

Joke absolute joke

Its already a done deal. I really try to be upbeat being a Leeds fan but this is a real challenge.

A fit Morrison for Noel Hunt surely that's not right, we must have enough to bring 2 players in or why bother

If brian brings hunt in and sends morrison out then 4 me he's just as bad as neil warnnock was as hunt is in no way any better than morrison infact he's much slower and much less of a teamplayer so if this happens then its obvious why he's not been given any decent money as this would show just how poor a choice of player he has in mind.

So we've let a £2.5m player go on loan for a player whose record is worse than 1 goal every 4 games and has scored 79 goals in 12 years. I bet I know who scores more this season and he won't be in white. I fancied Morison to do well this season, this is bad business.

Thought his name was mike! Or issac?

It proves that GFH are potless chancers. A fit Morison may get 15-20 goals and Hunt may get 7-10 sounds like a terrible bit of business

Bad business was swapping your 19 goal leading scorer for a player Norwich were desperate to get rid of, who is utter garbage and doesn't want to play for our club. Warnock you fool.

@ comment 6. am I delighted that BMcD is the manager of LUFC and you are not. you can bet your life on it that I am. If he believes that Hunt can do the job he wants doing better than Morison then he, BMcD, has a history of unearthing footballing talent and I respect that judgement and would certainly trust his judgement before your misguided opinion.

wise words! In Bmc we trust!

Warsteiner white.

Well said comment 11. McDermott knows how he wants the team to play and that's good football. If he thinks this will strengthen his team then he's more informed to make this call than people on here. Can't believe how quick Leeds 'fans' can be to criticise. It's pathetic

Lol u dnt need 2 b a manager to see noel hunt is no better than steve morrison. he's slow he has no skill and he's lazy weldone brian very wise lmao. i'm a leeds fan and I dnt expect big deals 2 b made as its obvious we dnt have the money but its mindless to get rid of a player who is better than the man united are bringing in lol just look at his stats for god sake. only reason hunt will join is cus he's a friend of brians nothing to do with football reasons obviously.

I disagreed with your post, partly because I don't think hunt is that bad, but mainly because you said man United.

After this past weeks events I was wondering what happened to the Pearson deal rumour, I'd that died a death now, never there anyway or still bubbling under the surface? Not a rumour just a genuine question, had a look back in past posts and haven't seen anything about it. Love bmacs comments the other day about how much he's committed to us as well after everything that's gone on, no moaning just getting on with it, that positivity will no doubt pass on to the players as the negativity that warnock gave out when he did the opposite. If we sign no one else and sell none of our stars (star) I personally think we will be easily top half/play offs and along with that, playing good football too, some might say its not an improvement on last season but again personally I'd rather watch good attacking football and finish the same rather than last seasons hoofball

Love your optimism buddy, but believe me, if we do not sign anyone else, we will definately not get to the play offs and very much doubt being in the top half.

LUFC KEK

Well said mate. Totally agree

Come on with likes of Ashdown, Brown, Varney, Pearce, Norris, can you honestly see us top half? All those ex Pompey players were in a relegated side the season before, and will be again, why o why did Warnock think they would improve our team. I saw Pugh was a first day training as well, thought we'd got rid of him to the Owls!

Well said mate, about time we had some optimism on here.

I totally agree with original poster. I know this isn’t an exact science, but, before doom and gloom grips you all regards the same players. Mcds Leeds Utd managerial career is a 60 percent win record, a 60 percent win record last year would have had us as champions last year. Even if you take Mcds average win record over all of his managerial career, 42 percent, that would have put us fourth in the championship last year. So perhaps its not all about the same players as last year, its about the man pulling the strings. Come on lads and lasses, even if nothing else changes we know we will be playing better football, more organised, playing as a team than last year. In Mcd we trust.

To the first reply:

Take on board some of that optimism!

I've played semi-pro football for years, the same bunch of "down-and-out's" can become "world beaters" with the right coaching and management! I agree that our squad probably isn't one of the greatest in the division, but I do thik it's better than Warnock allowed them to be, as evidenced by the points earned in BMD's few games in charge at the end of the season!

I'm looking forward to this season. I'm not bothered whether we get a marquee signing or have to put up with wheeling and dealing, because it'll be new ideas with a fresh new brand of football again. Whether it works or not is to be seen, but I am OPTIMISTIC that I will at least enjoy watching us again this year!

Well said personally I reckon if we keep byram and lees and maybe sign a bit of pace and passing abitlity (rowe?) we should stand a chance of finishing playoffs or just under

Same as last season
same players (not good enough)
relegation battle from the very start of the season! not from the last 6 games!!

I agree we have to start keeping some of the same players around. We seem to change most of the full team every year since 2002. We must have had more players than any other team in the last ten years.

Players will play better playing with the same players week in week out FACT. (this fact actually is a fact)

The last few games of the season under McDermott were more exciting to watch than pretty much the whole season prior to his arrival. Even with the same players I'm optimistic of at least a more enjoyable season, if not a better one points wise.

Nice thinking, a bit of positivity. he managed promotion with reading and no stars. he made stars

People are deluded. We will not sign anyone for a transfer fee unless Lees and Byram go. We will do well to stay in the top half of the table next season. Could well be involved in a relegation battle. Be a very good test to see just how good BMD is.

Instead of sitting back on a 1-0 amen to that

Relegation battles? Bottom half of the table?
No chance! BmcD is too good to see us in that position.
The way the so called "has beens" played once he arrived was a transformation from the warlock days. Expect to be challenging from day 1, and have some faith.

Agree with the second to last comment. McD is putting together an awful side. The players we are linked with don't seem up to the job. I think we will stay up but no way on this planet will we be challenging to go up. If we go up I will literally run around leeds ring road naked.

To the guy who'll run round naked if we're up there challenging, u have around 8 or 9 months to tone up and get fit! Apart from the last few games none of us have seen this side play proper football and u will be surprised (and naked) very soon. U don't have to have big names or expensive signings to pass and move, bmac has proved that already

He's putting together and awful side? He's signed one player!

On Friday Steve Morison will complete his season long loan to Millwall and Matt Mills will join Leeds on a season long loan.

Lol obviously not going to happen as would not b worth it atall, morrison will finish IF the TEAM pass and stop looking out for themselves aka austin. mills is far 2 slow and would not add anything to our team

Just bought a house inanLeeds

Stated he wanted 2 fightn4 his place

False rumour.

I hope Morison doesn't, I think he can be a big player for us this season, we haven't seen the best of him yet.

Morph

Stop eating those magic mushrooms

If Morrison goes its a cash deal no loans

I'm surprised by BM comments that only a couple of enquiries for our players I fully expect McCormack, Byram and Warnock to leave to free up some cash.

Obviously he was correct about one, fair play

Fair play to the original poster. Looks like the first part could come true. Leaves us a little light up front though, so maybe another striker is in the offering, possibly Hunt? Or is McD going to give Poleon more of a role?

Morison IS going back to Millwall.

Morison loan being reported on TV related website so could be true

Morrison gone to millwall on loan, this could well come back to haunt us, I would rather have sold him but watch him score a hat-trick against us now

Previous poster here, I retract my comments about coming back to haunt us, he can't play against us, but if he starts bangin em in for Millwall we need to recall him immediately

Thats a lot of unbelievables for something that's true

Well the first part is now done. Waiting for part number 2 to go through. May be late business for Leeds but its never straightforward with Leeds.

Sadly didn't work out for morrison, can see him doing well next season though for Millwall, another cock up at leeds inflicted by warnock.

Hilarious how wrong you all are!
You must know by now that anything is possible with LUFC literally anything.

If it doesn't make sense we will do it.

Fallen Giant -you are right on the first prediction -are you also right on the second? I out of 2 not bad for a striker!

Hello, received some info that Morison's loan was to get Mills over the line. That will be completed next week. Hunt was never a problem but his honeymoon/wedding/holidays have made the deal go on for longer. Should be done next week also.

Fallen giant is the oracle
