The Prem goalkeeper that will be joining us on loan is. Alex McCarthy. He worked with BMD at Reading, he knows the club and would jump at the chance to re-join us, even if it's only on a three month loan to begin with.
I have this on good authority from a friend's sister who works at a McDonald's in Leeds who heard someone in a suit talking to another guy who was wearing a goalkeeper's top with McCarthy written on the back.
Guaranteed! MOT

Realise I'm probably rising to the bait here but McCarthy is a championship keeper as he plays for Reading! Highly unlikely he walks around in his kit when out & about or that Leeds conduct business deals in McDs!

Hate too break it too you, but mccarthys in the championship, not prem?

Fascinated to hear that McCarthy wears his kit to dine at McDonalds. Presume he has a replica pyjama kit, again with his name on the back, which he wears to bed so that his loved ones know who he is?

He is a star top keeper england number one iam sure in the future belly the white would be a great addition I remember him on loan top keeper for the future

The prem bound player is not Gradel or ings it's Samaras he's off to Hull, he was leeds bound this info is spot on believe it or not.

Good, I hope if it was Samaras that it all goes through to Hull okay as we don't want him, rather keep playing Smith, at least he'll improve.

More likely matt ritchie who is going to palace

Are you joking? ^^^
Samaras is quality. Like quality beyond anything we've seen for many years. Barca are interested as a target man. You're deluded if you think smith will improve to anywhere near georgios level!
Ridiculous!
HaggersMOT
Agree1

{Ed001's Note - Barca are not interested in him, that was a joke that idiot journalists believed! Samaras is extremely average.}
I would expect any Celtic player to be Championship standard. So therefore a target for us.
Fawksey
Agree1
Disagree1
Well regardless of interest from barca being fictional he is way above championship
Level. I bet ant of you if he joins hull and plays he will score 7-12 goals in the second half of the season. He's well above championship level.
HaggersMOT
Agree1

{Ed001's Note - I personally disagree, as he showed when he was complete dross at Man Citeh, so bad they had a hell of a time trying to offload him.}
Samaras now playes as a winger/ wide striker role. Not as a out and out target man as he did at City. In the ECL games he's been there best player, (in the games I saw) it don't matter now though because as I posted in the first link he's off to Hull.

Haha quality ed! You put him in his place there! Samaras is absolute garbage! Plus I couldn't bear the fact us doing business with Neil Lennon or any ov those disgraceful tims who hold up banners about bobby sands! Pathetic excuse of human beings.
Agree0

Celtic are my second team (you can blame a Glaswegian ex for that), so I've seen Samaras play many, many times.
On the occasion that he turns up to a game, he's unplayable. Genuinely does things you usually only see from the likes of the top echelon world players. Problem is; that'll be only a handful of performances in any season. Normal service is just wandering around the pitch giving the ball away and disinterested, he's infuriating. Capable of so much but delivering it far too infrequently.

Samarasis garbage that is why he plays in a pub league we don't need him.

The premier league bound player is most likely max gradel he's probably the only one on the list who belongs there
Believable15
Unbelievable34
He's still talking about Max so it's not him at this stage. Ince is a possibility.
Agree2

It's either Ings or Ince I reckon the prem bound player
Agree5

It is most likely ince!
Agree1

There is no way we could have afforded Ince. He's going to go for big money and we won't be paying that. Besides even if we could would you blame him for not choosing us :)
Agree1

Its Ings he is going to Carrow Road

Agree with other posters, surely not Gradel? I'm a little bemused at how the Gradel myth has grown since the time he was an inconsistent Lge 1 performer when at ER. Hot-head, unpredictable, occasional flashes of brilliance, frequent flashes of petulance & all over a relatively short period of time. This leaves me unconvinced that a return to ER by"Mad Max" would ever reach the heights in the Championship to which he's been talked up, though I may be wrong of course.
Agree1

The player who is premier league bound is bridcutt from brighton who is now off to sunderland
Agree1

Max gradel was a consitant performer from his
first performace as a sub v norwich a game he single handidly won to his last apperance the above poster must b mad

I agree with the poster who said Gradel was inconsistent. Made a lot of selfish mistake for my money

The player who is prem bound is Danny Ings. Fact.
Believable52
Unbelievable13
The only facts are
1) Leeds United want at least 4 new players
2} One of BM's targets looks to be going to Premiership
3} BM doesn't have a fixed transfer kitty available to him
4} Everything else is speculation and just saying "fact" because so and so told me doesn't make it fact. It becomes fact when BM/The Club announce it!

Wells will be a leeds player 1st jan 100%, My mate lives in Birmingham and reckons sinclair coming on loan from west brom 3 month deal.
Danny Ings is the player going to premiership we was after fact.
Finally tommy Rowe done deal
Fact fact fact
Believable28
Unbelievable56
Sinclair that is actually on loan from Man Citeah to west brom. dunno how that would work!? Lol
Agree1

Wells isn't coming to leeds! Looks like Cameron Stewart is and maybe like freeman if we can fight of other championship clubs for him!
Agree1
Disagree1
Nakhi Wells would be a positive a youthful addition which I could see as being worthwhile but it would be a big statement and at least £2m. don't know if we are that brave right now. Rowe, Ings and Sinclair are all non starters. don't know where your getting the fact from? In your own little world!
Agree1
Disagree1
Oh you put fact 3 times at the end? I guess it must be true then.
Agree2

I reckon Stewart, Rowe and Freeman. All attacking wingers and that's what he said he needed. Possibly a reserve keeper for cover.
Agree3

Thank god its mcdermott who signs players::::not us!!
Agree4

Why we signing league 1 players, if we wanna bolster our promotion push we need quality players!
Agree2

We could get Rowe for free in the summer, rather than paying Posh's ridiculous prices. Also stop saying "fact" when it isn't a fact.
Agree2

Fact fact fact does not make it true.
FACT makes it true!
Come on boys you must know the rules by now!
