just spoke to very reliable source at blackpool fc who says a fee of 500k has been agreed to take aiden white to bloomfield road

Please make it so. he, s proper rubbish

Please, please, please, goodbye to forest gump!

Some Leeds fans really are ignorant people when it comes to judging players with sweeping statements, aren't they? And yes I'm a Leeds fan myself.

Even if you don't like him, 500k is cheap

Bite their hands off please.

For all the haters white will become a good player. The problem is his natural position isn't known but going on the comments from bmd about him he thinks he has something and is young. He won't be going.

Just spoke to someone - Amazing that this is the same deal tweeted by someone 2 days ago.

Hardly likely -the one bit of real pace we have in the team. Also, we've been here before with the unnecessary (and unjustified) slagging-off of our young talent. I fear that, as with Bradley Johnson, it will be the player, not the boo boys, who end up having the last laugh. Such treatment of our own is not a great advert for Leeds fans, I'm afraid. Chapel A

Ady is aproduct of our youth system. He was brought into the team under Gary Mac, he looked great but when Gary Mac was sack he was messed around by different managers and was not given much of a chance. He could have left last year and gone to Derby, but no he was loyal and stuck with us. It is a shame that some of you don't support him like he supports Leeds. Given the right management he will be fantastic

To the previous poster Bradley Johnson could play. Not great but ok. White on the other hand has a bit of pace but has not developed as a defender and certainly is no winger or wide mid fielder. He has the odd cameo/gem eg Everton but that's it. If he does become a good player, which I doubt, it will/should be somewhere else. We haven't the luxury of waiting for something that probably won't happen. We need good players NOW.

Good call Chapel A! To be honest, White threatens to deliver but leaves you frustrated at times.
Do think his day will come, but how patient do you need to be?

LUFC KEK

Hear, Hear Chapel A. I am sick of this slagging off of our own.

Aidy will become a good player, he has simply been messed about by a couple of managers

White needs to develop his awareness and train hard to produce a decent final ball. At the age he is, those abilities would already be evident but, whatever he does on the training ground, he just can't bring to a match. You can't teach that. It's what separates talented amateurs from capable professionals.
White will probably never develop beyond what he is now. Ship him off to Grimsby where he'll be a hero every week.

A headless chicken with awful positioning, a shocking touch and poor decision making. He has been messsed about but has done little to suggest he has developed and deserves more chances. A new club and fresh start is what he needs. mOT

500k is not cheap for a sunday league winger at best, he has potential as a left back but if you are going to class him as a winger for me you might aswell give him away.

Had it confirmed by a close friend of BMC leeds won't be making any more signings before Sat 3rd FACT

Durham white

How does putting FACT at the end of a post make it fact. Your making a calculated guess based on it being Wednesday afternoon and the 3rd August is 3 days away. I could put that Leeds won't be buying anyone today FACT. Doesn't mean it's true.

Well done for this information, you've really cleared things up for me thanks ;-)

Just got off the phone to my source. Confirmed there will be no signing this evening
FACT

Had it confirmed that I won't be having a take away for tea by a close relative of mine. FACT!

Girlfriend just confirmed we are having sex tonight!

. hope the wife doesn't find out!

Guys a source now standing very close to me has told me there won't be any more Guinness drunk here before the weekend, unfortunately this is a FACT. However, there is an agreement in place to resume consumption at 5 pm on Saturday after we beat the gulls, now this is a definite FACT. MOT

There will be no signings before 3am FACT

Lee Peltier will leave the club shortly.

So Reece Wabara in, freeing Byram up as Right Winger?

Berty

Surely we need him as back up to byram? I know lees can play there but I think we need him in the center

Hopefully

Good call. It's not so much that he's bad -he's a fairly decent Championship player- but that he's never really been needed. And would raise money. Even if Byram moves forward (as I would advocate), we have Thompson, who is more than ready to step in, and whose distribution is probably better (with Lees as emergency back up). Chapel A

Webara will be coming to leeds at some point, my work mate is well connected in the football industry he told me he spoke to him and said he's coming to leeds. he also said that he doesn't rate him so much. #support BMD

Not needed? With Byram out Peltier is the only right back. So unless, as a previous poster says, he's going to be replaced, then he is definitely needed

Peltier is one of our best defenders and he will not be sold unless mcdermott loses his mind

No chance! We are short on defenders as it is.

Peltier won't be missed.

To the poster who said Peltier is our best defender! Is that Neil Warnock posting?

I said one of our best defenders. I in no way think we have a problem in defence, look at our midfield. green and murphy r the only decent mids. brown is pathetic, pugh is useless, austin just shoots all game, tonge is also another greedy player and hall is not championship level and norris can't keep up to speed. our att is decent and our defence is good. gk maybe needs changing but our biggest problem is the middle. create mccormack chances and he will score them but whilst we have austin just shooting then ross wnt score. its about teamplay which leeds dnt have. just greed.

I think you will be eating your words about Austin this year.

One of our best defenders?! He's hardly up against much is he but even then I'm still not sure I would consider him one of our best!

Thats my point we need 2 get rid of the poor midfielders first b 4 any defender! the defence we do have are all good players apart from white and drury.

Players like brown austin, pugh, tonge, hall will only bring leeds down ain't that obvious

Can't see it. He has a bit of pace and made some good challenges. There's less important players that we can get off the books first.

"Lee Peltier will leave the club shortly. ". and go home for the night
