Roger Johnson and Doyle are both rumoured on the Wolves site as likely to be offloaded in the next week or two. I think we were interested in Doyle over recent months and Johnson I see is already linked here. Worth keeping an eye on the situation

Bates to sue Leeds!

Believable44 Unbelievable10

What's he going to sue us for then - lost earnings?

That'll teach him to publicly deny he ever took a wage out of Leeds.

. how can you sue for something you haven't lost?

Doesn't your heart just blled for him?

Actually I'm still trying to work out how the alleged £500,000 fee for the next three years air fares was going to be cheaper than the current 120,000 Euro's a year? As per usual, something doesn't add up?

Agree1 Disagree0

Cant he just leave our club alone, he's like my really clingy ex.

Agree2 Disagree0

How can he sue the old fart was the President of the club and a non director, if it goes to court hopefully all the shaddy dealings over the past 8 years will come out and bite the old fart on his arse.

Agree2 Disagree0

Let bates try, he, l only end up with egg on his face (again), thankfully now he, s the past and out of our club for good.

Agree0 Disagree1

How can he claim expenses when he isn't employed by the club? Just a fraudulent attempt to get free travel to the UK to work on his other business plans at the expense of LUFC.
He hoped to get this deal done under the radar before he left but was found out. Why else would you arrange your next 3 years travel arrangements when you are leaving the business on a set date that's imminent?
He might bluff & whine until the court case is due but will have to back down as he hasn't a leg to stand on and I can't see him meeting his own legal fees. He's lucky he's not going to another building in Leeds where they keep you in for a long period with other unscrupulous characters. At least he'll never be seen at ER again.

Agree1 Disagree0

He won't be happy until he bleeds the club dry and sees it on it's knees. somewhere he tried to put it many times!

Agree0 Disagree0

Songs for the terraces re:bates

Your not flying anymore!

Leaving on a jet plane, Ken Bates ain't coming back again!

Agree0 Disagree1

"Bleed the club dry". Remember when he took over Leeds. No one would touch Leeds except short term chancers. If he hadn’t took over Leeds United the place could have been a sink shopping centre by now. Never mind we have some really great owners now and I’m sure the club is in good hands. So remember if we hit hard time again this season who are you all going to blame? Keep on rubbishing Bates I bet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Over the weekend, news broke that his departure came on the back of a £500,000 three-year contract with a private jet firm to take Bates from his home in Monaco to Elland Road.

Speaking on Talksport on Sunday, Bates said, "Part of the contract was that they would pay my expenses in the same manner that I`d been paid expenses for the last eight years. I don`t take a salary and never have done.

Dont worry guys, i'm back! Just got news of the next (and last) signing of the summer for Brian Mac! It is indeed a centre back and will be announced later this week before the Brighton Game. Roger Johnson is the player, captain of Wolves. FACT.

Believable27 Unbelievable31

Well if its true let's hope its not 4 in a row for him!

Agree0 Disagree0

Could well happen, was a decent player at Cardiff and Birmingham, lost his way a bit at Wolves though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope not be likes his ale more than I do and I like it a lot!

Agree1 Disagree0

I thought we had to sell before we could bring in new players! Who will be leaving?

Agree0 Disagree0

Possibly norris.

Agree0 Disagree0

Got relegated 3years running and captain every year? Hardly inspirational kb

Leeds representatives have been getting details of rental properties in Boston Spa/Wetherby area. They usually do this for new signings as an extra touch to help them settle and not have to worry about where they are going to live and it gives them time to find a property to buy in there own time. I have no details on who the player might be before anyone asks I can only say that its looking likely that somebody else is coming soon.

Believable25 Unbelievable15

Hi this will be for matt smith who is still living in a hotel

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe it's for Ken Bates to save on air fares - ha ha ha!

Dont shoot the messenger but several arabic sports news sites and the arabic EPL twitter are reporting on an arab prince wanting to buy an english club with leeds and another undisclosed club in the offing idk how credible this is just letting you know what I've read

Adam Drury --> Peterborough
Danny Pugh --> Sheff Wed
Michael Brown --> Sheff Utd

These 3 could happen this week allowing BMac to sign a CB before Brighton rumoured to be Gorkks or Mills.

-MS

Believable11 Unbelievable26

Danny Pugh may go but not to Sheff Weds, they have recently bought a couple of players in his position so he is no longer required by them. From what I heard he was only a backup option if the other signings didn't materialise

Agree1 Disagree0

Drury to posh could well happen, not that far from norwich where he lived and played for many years.

Agree0 Disagree0

To be honest, I quite rate Drury. Brown should have retired last season and Pugh wanted by Wednesday. Get some money off Wednesday I say!

Agree0 Disagree0

BMD said on radio when asked bout anymore signings this is what he said we've 5 left backs an 2 centre backs which is unbalance also amited to players out for players in an says hope to have a signing in b4 brighton game so expect a few lb going out and a cb coming in this week

Believable28 Unbelievable10

I think we'll see Pugh & Drury leaving as White can provide backup to Warnock with Taylor a future prospect

Agree2 Disagree0

Interesting to note that Pugh not involved with the Shelbourne friendly today.

Perhaps the player who has been enquired about is Pugh. Or BM really doesn't rate him either!

Agree1 Disagree0

Or he is resting him and has seen enought of him to select hime for Brighton. there are a numerous scenarios, with all hoping that he is going to move on.

Agree0 Disagree0

Our squad is so unbalanced/a mess, B mac had 5 wingers at reading, he seems to only name white as the only winger we have, despite also having the out of favour hall here, patience will be needed for B mac to sort this mess out can see it taking a season or so, before he, l have what he considers the team and squad he, l be happy with.

Green going back to derby white to wolves brown Pugh and tounge off to Sheffield united. All strong rumours with solid foundation. Apparently 2 new players will be in before Brighton game one loan and one on a free but do not know who they are. Everything I have just wrote are rumours from Thorpe arch my pal works down there and he told me. See you Saturday guys Neil Hearsum

Believable8 Unbelievable53

Rubbish green is our best midfielder so obviously not true.

Agree3 Disagree2

Is that the same Green who has been wearing the captain's armband for a lot of preseason?

Agree2 Disagree2

Why would we sell Green when BMcD has praised him and he's been one of our best players pre season?

Agree1 Disagree2

Green won't be going anywhere, one of our best mids

Agree0 Disagree3

Green won't go anywhere. He is been one of the best performers pre-season and gives 100% every game.

Agree1 Disagree3

One of our best midfielders, heard it all now. he's poor!

Agree2 Disagree0

Poor? If you have been to games an watched then ill respect your opinion although the games I've seen he has been the better player in midfield last season. if you haven't been to games. well that says it all

Agree1 Disagree2

29 Jul 2013 13:10:21
Green is rubbish. Awful first touch, can put a decent pass together can't shoot and bad movement what on earth do some of you watch because it's not football I can tell you that.

Agree3 Disagree0

Green is a qulity midfielder not a bloody chance we will sell him. please original poster dnt ever become a manager shocking post

Agree0 Disagree2

29 Jul 2013 14:24:20
Green is a terrible player no vision (dead wood) I agree with the poor player comment and what do people watch because it no football

Agree1 Disagree0

Green, along with McCormack should be the 1st names on the team sheet. Sometimes his touch maybe poor etc. but atleast he tries his hardest for the cause, he's someone who never hides from the ball and who never stops running. Anyone who says any different does not know what they are talking about.

Agree0 Disagree1

He sounds a bit jeckyl and Hyde to me, I would keep him as if you don't know what he is going to do then neither do the oppostion :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Not a fan of green myself, shows had bad things have become at this club that he, s even here, same can be said at the likes of tonge. pugh, brown, varney etc etc

Agree3 Disagree0

Green, mccormack, byram, peltier, lees, norris, diouf, murphy, smith and hunt are all great players 4 this league, then you have a few that r good but if we sold I wouldn't care like pearce, austin and kenny then we have a lot pulling us down like brown, white, drury, ashdown, tonge, pugh, varney. I like pearce but he wouldn't b hard 2 replace, I like austin for his defence work but his constant greed let's him down a lot and kenny is decent but we need better.
