No problem with who his Dad is; but no chance of this happening -he was very impressive with Blackpool last year, and they have serious promotion aspirations of their own. Would only leave for a Prem or seriously wealthy Champ club (not us yet!). Chapel A

He's a Liverpool player not Blackpool. Can't see it happening {Ed013's Note - Don't post rubbish. He is a Blackpool player}

Hammill would be a awesome signing, good hard working player, not a bad goal scorer too

Is it likely that this move will be used to pay off some of the money owed to Leeds United for the transfer to Norwich of Robert Snodgrass ... £1.5m up front with the remainder on account?

If this is true will be icing on the cake for me, if he could get in hammil aswell that would be amazing and think that would give us that push over the edge for promotion

Yes him and Hamill would be great additions, certainly a step in the right direction. Come on Neil

Good call -Jackson contributed a flurry of goals late in Norwich's promotion campaign, and always looked dangerous, even when coming off the bench (a bit like the lad at Reading, Le Fondre). Knows where the goal is. Chapel A

+1^^. I was really impressed with him at gillingham and at norwich after that. Think he might be in his final year (signed a 2yr deal in 2010 with one year option). Would be a good signing. Fingers crossed

I hope it's us as I rate Jackson highly.But I have been told its palace who are in for him if it's true were are they getting money from thought they were skint. I think Dougie will turn out to be a top manager in the game.

I live next door to NW and whilst walking the dogs, i got talking to him. He told me he is looking to sign a RW and FWD! He spoke to CM-S yesterday and says he would love to join, wouldn't expand. Unless any offers come in for McCormack before Thursday then he will be offered a better contract and will be staying aswell as CM-S He said the RW position will be filled tomorrow or wednesday! He let slip that Boyd was one of the 'PLAYERS' that he had been in contact with, suggesting that there are more than 1. I asked him about Lewis Mcgugan (think he would be a good signing), and he said we have made an offer, apparently Forest are mulling it over, but was very positive. He wouldn't comment on Crainie, but did however say we will buy a better CB next week after takeover, and if it fails Crainie will be signed! Finally, The TAKEOVER, he said that it would be finalised fully by Thursday and they will announce it on Friday morning sharpish, so that we can crack on and buy a promotion worthy squad! Dave

I believe this, everything seems to make sense. I've heard rumours that snodgrass is coming back on loan! Another story i eard form a source at ER (Ken Bates) is that we're signing Djibril Cisse!

Great imagination,just a heads up the Lewis mcgugan link has been doing the rounds for weeks,so not really no speculation.

World's Greatest Liar
Pinocchio, Snow White and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day. As they walked, they come across a sign that read: "Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world."
"I am entering!" said Snow White.
After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, "Well, how'd ya do?"
"First Place!", said Snow White.
They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest for the strongest man in the world."
"I'm entering," says Superman.
After half an hour, he returns and they ask him, "How did you make out?"
"First Place!", answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?"
They continue walking when they see a sign: "Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?"
Pinocchio enters.
After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes.
"What happened?", they asked.
"Who the hell is this DAVE?", asked Pinocchio. JUST ABOUT SUMS UP YOUR POST DAVE...M.O.T

There's better much better players for smallish fees or on frees floating around at present and more soon when premier trims their squads ,so for gods sake drop the old sentimental returns of ex players in Neil we should all trust just look what and how he got QPR UP so back THE TEAM AND NW !!

And who said that NW ? nobody knows when takeover will/if happen and if it will be complete before the transfer window. we now have the starting team and Cranie was only going to be a squad player so if we dont sign him we can easliy get somebody like him at very short notice, and save a few quid by not paying wages

Can't believe we're banding round Becchio. He's been so good for our club over the last five years. Last pre-season he blipped and ended up not playing as much as we'd like but before that he has always been quality and he's been my stand out favourite at the club for years! Loyalty and commitment 2nd to none!

I agree wholeheartedly with the 1st comment, I refuse to believe that we'd offer Becchio to other clubs.

What available funds has he spent? More has come in than gone out in transfer fees so not in a worse position financially. He has signed solid squad players and needs some quality and pace to top it off now

NEVER!!
I hope not the mans a legend, I'd take Luciano all day long because lets not forget... he cost less than Berbatov, and, he scores more goals!
So there!
Agree1
Disagree0
Is this really true? Considering what Warnock said about him (said he was a massive fan of his, and he was obviously on his retained list) so I find it strange if he's being offered around. Surely keeping him, McCormack, Somma and getting someone else in would be his plan - JamesC
Agree0
Disagree0
Warnock made a comment last week about Becchio, before the squad travelled to Norway, that "he might eventually realise that playing is easier than training" it made me wonder then if there was a bit of friction and Becchio had been playing on an injury and Warnock wanted him playing instead. Watch this space...
Agree0
Disagree0
This will be his 2nd pre season where has a failed to get enough fitness on board and as a result he didnt hit the ground running. I feel he has a motivation issue and Warnock knows it. he is very good back to goal and in the air but i think we need a little bit more pace
Agree0
Disagree0
Agree that Becchio is a bit of club legend and rightly so -top pro, has run himself into the ground and generally come up with the goods. Sadly, though I hate to say it, managers cannot afford to let sentiment get in the way of difficult, but important, decisions, and all the evidence over the past year points in the direction of Luciano now being past his best. Shame -but if these rumours are true, I for one find it hard to take issue with NW (whose judgement to date on players has, I think, been proved pretty sound). This is one of those debates that will run and run, though, which is to Becchio's credit and a sign of the affection in which fans hold him. Chapel A
Agree0
Disagree0
I can't believe I am hearing Leeds fans slate Luciano Becchio. 'Past his best' - he is a quality championship striker he unfortunately got an injury last pre-season and still came out at the end of the season one of our top scorers. And if you didn't hear he played against Preston so he will be match fit for the season start. Luciano gives his heartfor Leeds United and does everything to repay the faith shown in him when he turned up at TA with his boots over his shoulder asking for a trial. He is one of the only faithful players we have got. Also if he did move on some Leeds Fans would slate him for not being loyal much like Howson and Snoddy have had to suffer!
Agree0

WHY do people like you put this kind of rubbish on here, if you ARE a Leeds fan you should be ashamed if not stick to your own clubs site or is it because its boring and dull.

Personally I think the takeover is done and will be announced once the squad is complete do we don't pay over the odds. If we could get both I'd be happy. Templeton would be a good signing if neither came through, but warnocks already talked him down. Hammil would fill snods boots, but again Dnt think it will happen. Really is anyone's guess as to who the two icing on the cake signings will be!
