Boyd to sign when loan window opens up again nxt month.

Believable22 Unbelievable42

We dnt even want him

Agree0 Disagree0

I can't see that happening. And apparently neither can he!

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance - posh owner interview on tv about 11:15pm last night about boyds florest move and how disgusted he was. Went on to say they've already received a loan offer for him from a club better positioned than florist for promotion in the champ.

The offer was obviously for when the loan window opens next week and he sounded pretty keen to let it happen to me.

Scot MOT!

Agree0 Disagree0

Let's hope so -whyever not? Would do a nice job as icing. Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

He's gone to palace.

Agree0 Disagree1

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance weres all this so called money all rubbish waste of time now we lose becchio aswell marchin on to nowere!

Agree0 Disagree0

He's blind isn't here, he couldn't hit a barn door so would fit in at Leeds.

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance, waste of time, rubbish? go and clog up someone else's forum, lets spend millions on quality players like seth johnson and end up in debt again, did you see how many other championship clubs brought 3 players in today?? wake up and smell the roses sunshine, oh and if we happen to make the play off's bet you soon change your tune.

Habibou signed on loan! Quality signing. Our new yaboha

Believable27 Unbelievable14

Gr8 for the club will fire us back tothe prem

Agree0 Disagree1

Yeboah! FFS lol hope so though!

Agree1 Disagree1

I'm watching norwegian tv2 transfer deadline day live, and he's in fact the man in focus! The commentators can't stop saying his name: Mouhamadou Habib Habibou - fantastic! In Belgium he was called "the new Henry". If he's a hit Norwich will be interested in summer - but then we'll be in the PL, and no way he will accept transfer to a lower division.

Agree0 Disagree1

If he was the new Yeboah would he really have been rotting away in a backwater league? Austin, Rogers, Nunez. these leagues are no guide as to success in a really competitive environment. Only the skint shop at that level, to be brutally honest. Sorry. Though I'd love to be proved wrong on this occasion of course. Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

Norwich to sign Habib Habibou in 10 minutes {Ed013's Note - You have stole my thunder!!!}

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry Ed, Love this site & rumours, Love Leeds

Bremner {Ed013's Note - Haha great stuff}

Agree0 Disagree0

Only the skint shop at that level? Are you for real. Give the guy a chance and let's see what he can do for Leeds

I know he's from the Congo but he's been playing in the Belgian top flight, I suppose all the Belgians in the premier league that started in Belgium are awful and shouldn't have been bought by top teams. Hazard Kompany Fellaini? Nah wouldn't want any of them at Leeds. You clown!

Crmd

There's only ever going to be one Yeboah!

31 Jan 2013 21:41:07
habibibooscooby do has signed. that will put paid to burke and Boyd options. could be a good move as no one will know what to expect. not a great window but it is January and the clubs not doing anything says it all. Our new captains warned January would not be wild and to be fair that is what has happened.

Byram and Poleon's extensions were the great signings. Warnock wasat the 2010 world cup and Morrison battered us for three years whilst he was at Millwall so bring on Cardiff

Believable13 Unbelievable2

We were battered by a certain Swidon striker too. I rest my case!

Agree2 Disagree1

Morrison ain't playing sat neither is Habiou so no real change to what we already have

Agree0 Disagree0

Warnock is playing

Believable10 Unbelievable4

Loan till end season may be perm end of season

Agree0 Disagree1

Yessssss :) seen dis on o/s

Agree0 Disagree0

On loan - still not a penny spent! The investment in the club is bewildering! {Ed013's Note - Wages is more than a penny spent}

Agree1 Disagree0

Well pleased to sign scooby doo ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

He has joined Fulham instead, dream on

Agree0 Disagree1

Waiting to see if he impresses before buying him, why do most Leeds fans look for every opportunity to moan at the club.

Agree2 Disagree0

Agree on the wages front and I am reasonably happy with what we have got - my point was it would have been nice to see some money spent bringing in that One additional quality player that would have signalled major intent - Still we have an hour left so who knows

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 22:07:18
one forward one midfield general two names cum to mind allan clarke johnny giles get your boots out ledgends. mot big neil

Agree0 Disagree0

Come on Ed, other clubs pay wages as well as fees? Do you seriously think these new guys are anything other than naive novices, with barely a penny to their name? Hope Habib has signed for Fulham -they are welcome to him. Sorry. Chapel A {Ed013's Note - Time will tell mate, I am frustrated as much as you, but can't really say much, but in my eye's no money has been spent in this window other than contracts cancelled.

What jas happened to the signing of burke?tv said this morning we were in talks!anyone heard anything?cant see us making any more signings to be fair

Believable8 Unbelievable6

Funny you say that because according to a national newspaper website we had a bid rejected for him so NW is after paddy McCourt

Nick LS26

Agree0 Disagree0

Too expensive unfortunately

Agree0 Disagree0

The daily snail has said that our bid was rejected and now were going for McCourt

Agree0 Disagree0

Gfh say 750k for burke is too expensive. and they enquired for gradel. . rubbishters

Agree0 Disagree0

Got knocked back as birmingham don't need to sell due to £6 million for butland. Leeds reps said not looking to bring any1 else in :/

Agree0 Disagree0

A usually reliable source text me about 20 mins ago saying deals had been discussed for both phillips and burke today. Burke looked more likely to happen than phillps but to expect one of them in the summer and nobody else apart from habibou in tonight

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 21:08:27
Apparently 2 expensive at 500 k +

Agree0 Disagree0

Gfbates strike again. Undisclosed fees and nothing to wet the appitite another transfer window with promise and has been a big let down.

Agree0 Disagree0

When they say too expensive, they may mean that he isn't worth more than that in Leeds view

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 19:18:59
Habib maybe tonight, Phillips, No chance. Burke no chance because he's too expensive.

Believable15 Unbelievable9

Burke at 750,000 is worth it. So how come we were enquiring about GRADEL. hogwash. just PR stunt

Agree0 Disagree0

So whos the benchwarmer? ross? new signing morison or alleged new signing habib? oh yeah. varney and somma too. (diouf is actually a striker also!)we need a winger then were done

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 21:33:03

i don't think Warnocks finished yet either, there's 1 more still in there and I believe it to be McCourt

Well done Harvey and the rest of the guys for convincing a guy who seems desperate to join us (judging by his tweets) that we're the club for him.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 19:50:57
please let us have Burke too GFH.

Agree0 Disagree0

Isn't it David Haigh?

Agree0 Disagree0

If we do not sign habib then I have wasted my cash on a bright yellow duck suit that I was going to wear on Saturday. That's two wasted bills!!

We got just over 200,000 plus Morison not 1. 8 Million!

Agree0 Disagree0

No, you must have read the figure wrong, 2,000,000

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 23:56:22
Nope 200,000

As the window is now closed I can now reveal that Leeds spent.

-£200,000

A swap, a loan and a free. We have the only poor Arabs in the world!

Agree0 Disagree0

Whats the point in spending rubbishloads now. That would be Tony Fernandes behaviour. We can all see how bright he is.

leeds to sign howson 1.25 mil player unhappy good source

Believable10 Unbelievable27

Howson isn't starting a lot this year but we aren't got the money to buy him, wishfull thinking

Agree0 Disagree0

Utter tosh my friend. the argie money grabber said he spoke to howson and howson loves it at the reserve side.

Agree0 Disagree0

Is that a pig that just flew over my house ??

Agree0 Disagree0

Is that the Howson that helped persuade Becchio to move to Norwich??

Agree1 Disagree0

Not a chance

Agree0 Disagree0

Howson won't come back

Agree0 Disagree1

Judas howson

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 18:05:31
It wouldn't surprise me if we go saha seen as he has left Sunderland by mutual consent, he s 34 and ofcourse a free agent think he would be a good addition in this league. L doulble eds ls6

Agree2 Disagree0

It didn't take long for Norwich to find out he isn't premiership standard, why would we want him back

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 18:14:53
So unhappy he along with Snodgrass talks Becchio in to going to Norwich, read Becchios comments on the Norwich page.

StuW MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont want him thanks!

Agree0 Disagree0

After he told becchio it is a really good club and city

Agree0 Disagree0

Absolutely no way Howson is signing if he's not committed. NW won't want him. He left with mixed feelings from us fans. Step back in his career and also pay packet. Contract unlikely to be long enough as if he's not premier league quality now, he won't be held if (long shot) we get promoted.

Nope. . this one is not happening.

Agree0 Disagree0

They have suspended the road works on the A17 outside Kings Lynn to ensure that the remaining dross at LUFC have a clear run to Norwich to make sure they all sign up for the reserves before 11. 00pm tonight

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 19:14:14
Howson won't get in the team so he can stay at Norwich

Agree0 Disagree0

Howson is overated!

Agree0 Disagree0

Prefer Kewell back, than that Judas

Agree0 Disagree0

Leave Howson alone. He was a great servant for this club -his was the goal that got us out of League One, his was the pass that set up Beckford at Old Trafford, brace at Carlisle as a 20 year old. Never wanted to leave -Ben Parker will tell you as much for nothing. Bates should be getting the flak for that, not Jonny. Would personally welcome him back. How dare people start disrespecting Becchio as well -one of the most magnificent servants this club has had in recent times. Nothing lasts forever, especially in football, where 5 years of loyal service is tantamount to an eternity. The reality is that, due to a poor management on and off the pitch, we have been unable to satisfy the ambitions of our best players over recent years. That's just reality, but the answer is not to slag off the players who have served us best during that time. There's a simpler way of putting this -a case of old-fashioned sour grapes I'm afraid, and not very edifying. Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

There is loyalty and blind loyalty howson went missing more times than lord lucan, nothing great and know he's been found out, don't want to see his sorry arris at elland road again

Agree0 Disagree0

Who ever said they would prefer kewell back over howson is surely not a Leeds united fan. What kewell did to us when leaving for Liverpool, and then to join galatasaray, especially being a lufc player on that awful night, was nothing short of disgusting. I would quite happily have kewell removed from our history and his name replaced with. . actually you can decide for yourselves what you would rather him be called

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 16:46:44
Leeds will sign chris burke tonight, he's been at thrope arch all day, I've seen it with my two eyes and ask any of us stood outside thorpe arch right now.

Believable1 Unbelievable20

No he hasn't stop telling lies

Agree1 Disagree0

Another ridiculous rumour. Warnock still possible but that's all folks. Minimal investment and certainly no icing on the cake signings. Ah well let's look forward to the next window when we may be looking to build with a new manager.

Agree1 Disagree0

Doesn't mean terms have been agreed. . means he's open to a move

Agree0 Disagree0

Prove it with a photo.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 16:03:21
Medical room is full acording to all the rumours, but here is one that's probably got some serious miles in it.

Leeds have yet to spend over £500K, the morriosn deal isn't a £2M deal, its around Morriosn plus £2M in cash.

Leeds will be spending over £2M in the next 6 hours, Warnock will join on a free, plus two players making up the £2M

Believable10 Unbelievable14

We only supposed to receive £500,000, so tht doesn't sound very truthful to me

Agree0 Disagree0

Apparently. . the medical room is full alright. . full of grade A bull-tosh.

All gone almost silent out there.

4 hours remaining.

We're done.

Championship next season.

GFH. . waste of space

good business by leeds getting morison, far better all round striker than bechio. morison = 20+ goals easy!
two more players to arrive by deadline!

Believable19 Unbelievable14

LB already got 19?

Agree0 Disagree1

Don't understand the first response. LB already got 19?
Why do we need reminding?
JB

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry 20+ could mean 30!

Agree1 Disagree0

In a team where he was the only goal scorer, put it this way if morrison can bring rossco back into action this signing is top quality

Agree0 Disagree0

Morrison is an all round better player, Becchio can't hold up play his 1st touch is awful. Wish him well but predict a lot of bench warming !!!

Agree0 Disagree0

No it's not, Becchio is on 19 already and Morrison has never scored more than 15 in a full season while playing above league 2. He's even lazier than Becchio and doesn't have the same instinct in front of goal. If we didn't have Becchio this season we would be in like the bottom 4, he has literally won us so many games this season where we've played rubbish but he's just got one decent chance that he snaps up. So how is it "good business" ?!

Agree0 Disagree0

I think we should play better with Morrisson. . more ball on the floor please

Agree0 Disagree0

Good deal for both clubs. Norwich needed a target man and we needed a striker with pace

Agree0 Disagree0

Forget about bechio! he is gone! we have morison!

Agree0 Disagree0

How many of those 19 are penalties

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 15:36:22
done deal, swap deal, becchio for morrison.

31 Jan 2013 15:35:16
saying on twitter that NW has said he remains hopefully of signing 2 more players, and would be very dissapointed if he didn't sign at least one.

Definately going to be Chris Burke (750k-1mil becchio money) and Stephen Warnock (free)

Kenny

Byram Peltier Lees Warnock
Burke Austin Barkley Green/Tonge
Morison Mccormack

All of a sudden we would look a pretty strong side.

Believable7 Unbelievable8

What about diouf?

Agree0 Disagree0

Reckon burke will go to forest with old pal mccleish and warnock to leeds because he's a freebie!

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 17:19:47
Lacks depth beyond those you put up as first team.

And that's the issue. it's a tough run into the play-offs and there's not enough depth in quality in our squad and not enough competition.

That's why you need investment, more players. and not just replacements.

We're stuffed for even a chance at the play offs this year unless they pull the trigger on 3 more signings.

C'mon Colin/GFH. . pull the trigger. Let them transfer bullets fly.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 17:19:55
Stick boyd. In instead of tonge or green and that would do me

Agree0 Disagree0

No real pace in the team or someone who can turn a match in my eye, burke is class but not a out an out winger, also habib deal seems to have died, seems a shame because on youtube he seems worth a punt

Agree0 Disagree0

First responder is spot on Warnock has signed for Leeds on a FREEBIE

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 19:16:48
think Warnlock is still a good player though a freebee. We just have to wait and see I guess. Hopefully we have solved one of our problem areas. We need a Gradel type of winger now.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 14:50:02
From what I've heard today, his could be our team.

Kenny
Byram Peltier Lees Warnock
Burke Austin Tonge Diouf
Morison McCormack

Believable13 Unbelievable12

With subs:
ashdown, pearce, white, green, varney. we need another mid and striker to replace green, varney.

Agree0 Disagree1

When's burke signing?

Agree0 Disagree0

Backline cover - Peltier can cover for Byram, Pearce can cover Peltier if moved to right, Aidy can cover for Warnock on left
Midfield cover - Green, Morrison, Brown if we don't get Burke
Frontline cover - Somma, Varney, move Diouf up if required

Looks OK to me for Championship. . .

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2013 14:47:56
Okay so then; so far we have made no signings numbers wise, yet have made (what Phil Hay is saying) £200,000- £400,000. . No significant ambition as of yet!
We need someone like Matt Phillips/Max Gradel/Yanik Bollasie etc. . a fast winger. Still a lot of time though!

Get it into you head! cms is not coming!

Agree0 Disagree0

CMS come on Leeds get him in and let's get back to the PREM MOT. . .

Agree0 Disagree0

We won't be signing anyone except possibly Warnock, I am afraid the club as has been typical of recent times has made no progress yet again. Morison is a good player but his work rate is no where near Becchio's.

Dont want anDROSS had a few unsavoury words to say about leeds, poor attitude, don't need him.

Agree0 Disagree0

He wasnt that bad, and we wernt in the best place when he joined, but saying that if we get burke then we still have douif that can play wide, his abilty compensates for lack of pace.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope not, couldn't t get out quick enough

He chose to terminate his loan spell with us to join Birmingham on loan instead. Unless we are planning to put his massive forehead in front of our goal no thank you.

Morison done deal, with Becs going the other way, confirmed on OS. With a fee coming our way good business IMO, Morison more striking ability and all round play! MOT

Believable18 Unbelievable6

Cracking, delighted with that one, as you say Morison a better all round footballer than Becchio so for us to get him and a fee in exchange is brilliant

Agree1 Disagree0

Better all round player haha. is that why norwich have just patched him off to us to get becchio? their management team must be realy daft then.

Agree0 Disagree0

Morison is awful, just saying! He is ridiculously lazy and has an uncanny ability to miss simple chances, have fun!

Rumour is we're in talks over Chris Burke with Birmingham, I for one would welcome this! But Burke plays right wing so we'd need to sign a left winger too?

Believable15 Unbelievable9

Personally i'd put Diouf on the left Burke on the right and McCormack and Morison upfront, be a very good team then in my eyes.

Agree1 Disagree0

Burke plays rm not rw

Agree0 Disagree0

Playing on the wing is the same as playing RM or LM

Agree0 Disagree0

What's the difference between rm and rw. Every time i've seen Burke play his played on the right side of midfield. The lad has got pace and ability to go by people which is just what we need

Agree0 Disagree0

I would play aidy white left wing if we get warnock in at left back

Byram has just signed a new contract, so I can't see it. Obviously if Everton paid a ridiculous amount of money then anyone is for sale, but they don't have ridiculous amounts of money.

Becchio out for Morison in, basically complete. Similar sort of player I think. Becchio has always been someone'sunder study at Leeds, ie to Beckford, McCormack - he's only stepped up to the plate in their absense (McCormack with injury earlier this season). I'd be happy for this swap deal. Warnock also in on a 18 month contract - not a bad signing. Has a lot of experience which we are lacking at full back. I still think we need a quick, wide playing winger - along the lines of Gradel who unfortunately won't be joining. Not sure who this could be, but along with Morison, Warnock and the extended contract given to Byram, I will be reasonably happy/optimistic for the remainder of the season. McCormack looks like he's back to his best now, would still like to see us splash a little bit of cash on a top quality player though. Please post. JN LUFC.

Believable14 Unbelievable1

Ha! Have you been watching the team for the last few years, pal? Becchio was Beckford's regular strike partner, not understudy - check it out. And he's started far more games than McCormack since the Scot's been with us, even when he wasn't injured. He had a bad injury last season that meant McCormack was the first striker on the teamsheet. Get your facts right.

Andros townsend on his way to ER

Agree0 Disagree0

We got an undisclosed sum too according to OS

Hopefully we can put this to good use

Agree0 Disagree0

Although undisclosed[as most are these days]If we got cash. ie £1mill, plus Morison then in my eyes that's bloody good business. Becchio has been great for us, but we needed to move on quickly, and I believe we have done so in Morison. . Good work. Lets have 2 more before 11 bells. .

Agree0 Disagree0

The team play better without Becchio, yes he was effective, but he is not a PL player. Beckfors tried and failed and look where he is now. Looking forward to playing NCFC in the Championship next season.

Ken Bates insists that there is no truth in the rumours that he has planned to off load under performing highly paid players to an unfashionable premier League team with the intention of assisting them to become strapped for cash and relegated at the end of the 2012 - 2013.

The fact that Ken Bates has sold the Club enabling him to rest, whilst recharging his batteries whilst looking for a holiday home on the Norfolk Broads is pure coincidence.

Agree3 Disagree0

Anything other than a minimum £1million plus Morison is a bad deal, a straight swap, are you having a laugh, our player is banging them in every week, their playing ain't playing and hasn't scored for yonkers! why would we want to swap our player for theirs?
