According to john sheridan chesterfield manager leeds are keen on there gk tommy lee as back up for lonergan

What a load of Crap, Grayson confirmed today Mike Taylor will be back up for the season.

Thats this season covered then, best not to worry about any others as long as back up keeper is covered for this one.

Ive heard this rumour also ...Taylor has been signed as a cheap option till end of season but expect Leeds to sign lad from Chesterfield very soon ....also Forest interested in him.

Why o Why have some supporters got to be so aggressive on this site like the what a load of crap guy. A bit of anger therapy, a lesson in manners or maybe a shoulder rub required I think? Despite Taylor coming back there might be a very good reason for Leeds looking at further/longer cover in the goal keeping position. Get a grip!

Grayson has been given 5mil to spend, both him and Bates said as much at the start of the season, he's just chosen not to blow it all!

With Kisnorbo out, Grayson likely to sign St Ledger from Leicester. Pearson has told him he can go. If he's as good as our other signings from Leicester could be good for us.

So why do are players like Beckford and Schmeikel end up going to Leicester?

My mate at work is a Leicester fan and says he is s**t. He also says Beckford is not playing well because he isnt getting the service but he agreed with me when I said his touch is terrible and needs 20 - 30 shots a game to score! Id still have him back though for his pace and his goals!

MOT

Beckford went to everton for prem football plus it was a free transfer and then he went to leicester for moneyso everton benefited there not leeds! Schmikel went because ken bates is a money grabber

St Ledger is a n*b. wouldn't be good to have him around the team, hence why Leicester have transfer listed him. He's not good anyway. There is so much better out there

Schmeichel went because it was a brilliant bit of business! Signed on a free, sold for over £1Million and get Lonergan for £100,000. As much as I liked Schmeichel, he was at fault for a lot of goals last season and he's still making the same mistakes at Leicester. For Me Lonergan has been one of the best keepers in the division for a few years now. One of the few good deals Grayson has done in the transfer window.

Schmeichel was a terrible keeper, he was apparantly, the smallest keeper in the division. Agree with comment previous, he was to blame for loads of goals as the back 4 didnt have faith in him. AOB was just the same, notice how we havent leaked as many goal since both are playing anymore.

Need a CB to play with O'Dea
Need a CM to sit and break up play
Need a striker with 20+ goals in them

I would spend the money on Maynard, its worth taking him for £3.5, i'd let Bechio go, poss £1M for him, then Mayard at £2,5M looks a bargain.

So by the looks of it we are trying to re-create the Preston back five that saw them get relegated...... Lonergan, St Ledger....

HOT NEW...

Smith wants to come back!

And before the smith haters start, i personly would not have him back, not because went to scum but because i think we can get better value for money.

MOT - Without Pappa

If we could turn him back into the good striker he was, rather than the poor midfielder he became i'd be pretty happy with him coming back.

Where does it say he wants to come back he hasnt said anything about movin clubs yet

What is your source for that statement,or are you just guessing.

According to his interview in The Sun he could have moved at start of season but Pardew didn't want him to leave. The interview reads along the lines of 'play me or let me leave'. He says he feels he could do a job in the Premier league or Championship but no mention of coming back to Leeds...he does however mention QPR {Ed025's Note - its hard to take someone serious, if they quote the sun!....no true football fan should buy it!..

Agree with ED best thing about Sun is page 3! {Ed025's Note - even the bazoomas are false!

Barnet star Mark Marshall is being chased by a host of clubs in this month's transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been an impressive performer for Barnet since joining from Swindon Town in the summer of 2010.

Charlton and Bournemouth both saw bids rejected for Marshall in the summer transfer window and Barnet are facing another fight to fend off interest in the flying winger.

Portsmouth, Leeds and West Ham are all thought to be keeping tabs on Marshall as they look to bolster their attacking options this month.

Marshall's current deal expires in the summer and Barnet could decide to cash in on him rather than risk losing him for nothing at the end of the season.

Marshall's adviser, Saif Rubie, has admitted there is a lot of interest in his client and that a move could be on the cards this month.

"I would expect a lot of interest in Mark this month as his performances over the last 18 months have been very good," Rubie told skysports.com.

"Two clubs saw bids rejected for him in the summer and I know a lot of clubs are watching him and weighing up moves for him this month.

"Mark is out of contract in the summer and if he doesn't leave in January he will see out his contract and leave in the summer."

Phil Bardsley has apparently fallen out with Martin O'Neill, Leeds are set to bring him on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent deal to slot in at RB.
Paul Connolly could return to Derby if this happens.

Right, Phil bardsley will not ever become a leeds player... 1 he is playing in the prem and 2. he is playing really well...

you have more chance of getting somone like erm..

Luke chadwick?

Kisnobo out for season now.. official site is the source..so a new CB is a must...

Well that's a stroke of luck for Grayson. At least he won't be able to pick him!

Kisnorbo up against walcott n henry! Imagine that! Rather not thanks! As much as I like the bloke this is more of a boost to the team, and the fans, hasn't got the pace or ability to keep most championship attackers quiet never mind the above. PLEASE...PLEASE....PLEASE lets get a couple of quality CB in n maybe a MID n ST. First post on here so sorry to them who love paddy, just my opinion. 30 years as a whites fan. LEEDS4LIFE.

Well i dont think Henry has the pace he used to have but your prob right. As much as I like Kisnorbo and he puts his heart into every match pace is def something he lacks. And lets face it who ever we have at the back walcott will beat em for pace the guy has a rocket up his asp

Would like to see walcott on right wing up against white, be interesting to see who would win the battle for pace.

Did anyone know that QPR tried to buy Lee Bromby last January! Simon Grayson told them that he was not for sale.

Source: I play cricket with lee's brother

I think 'your mate' might have been hit on the head by a cricket ball. Absolutly no chance. Why would QPR buy a player who couldn't even get in our Championship & League One side for the premiership?!

Last January QPR were in The Championship, and seeing as their main CB's were all bought this summer might indicate that they wern't happy with what they had. Very plausable IMO

If your a mate then why did you spell his name wrong

Why didn't you use punctuation? What a silly argument.

His name is leigh bromby. not lee. so whose his brother and where does he play cricket? i used to play football with leigh for liversedge and then the yorkshire district side.... im sure this story isnt true at all. lol

His name is Nathan Bromby and he playes for Morley in th Bradford league.But I work with Leigh and Nathans brother in law and hes never mentioned QPR.He did play for Warnock at Sheff Utd though.

You should know that Leigh Bromby would have capitals, so by your reckoning you clearly must be talking silly too! :D

Doesn't surprise me, just before last Jan, Bromby played against QPR and looked very solid. He previously played under Warnock and if you google the brother as described by original poster its clearly his brother.

Never said i knew LEIGH but i play with his brother NATHAN. So before you reply to a post read it. And correct for Morley CC in the Bradford League.

I can back this is up as I also play for Morley CC and know Nathan Bromby

Cant believe all this.
Dosen't matter how you spell his name,punctuate your posts,or who his family is,the fact is-he's not great.
Let's move on!
(how was my grammer/punctuation/spelling btw?)

I wasn't genuinely criticising anybodys grammar or punctuation. I was simply mocking the fact that somebody wouldn't believe the story because Leigh was spelled Lee. Seems a silly reason to not believe somebody, I personally could see this being true.

Know for a fact, from a "senior" member of his family that QPR did, indeed, want to sign Leigh but he was told he was in "future plans" at LUFC!!

QPR are a rich club with a substantial transfer budget... Leigh Bromby??
