The 2 premiership players are Stewart and Owen garvan from palace.
Wells will be a target next week when more funds are in after take over complete and gradel or Mackey smith on loan from a reliable source.

I think Owen Garvan is realistic call, McDermott stated he wanted to bring in leaders and players that knew the league. Not saying he is right player but maybe less risky than taking a punt on a young player from lower leagues.

I'd take Owen Garvan all day long, decent player

Investment update on OS, confirming Andy Flowers is part of the group purchasing a major shareholding in Leeds Utd.

Nothing we didn't know, but now official.

I have just seen the official announcemrnt on the OS, I just wonder if the other names involved will be released, seems a little strange why one would now say they are involved when we are on the verge of the takeover. Why not just wait till completion and then hold a press conferance and announce the new owners. Are we going back to the Bates days when we had no real idea who was behind the companies that really owned us.

Mark D

I reckon it's because the other parties concerned are absolutely minted and we would be paying over inflated transfer fees and wages, you mark my words. Sheik rattle and roll baby ;)
Dougie

Well Peter Virdee is the name being banded around; that seems plausible given him and Haigh's recent twitter activity. and if its true, Ill be happy since he is very wealthy.

Wish Leeds fans would stop dreaming. Be realistic we are not going to get taken over by a Sheikh or a billionaire. Just need our manager to be sensibly backed with 4 or so good signings. We are going to have to do it properly which is fine because we are a proper club with great supporters!

If long goes to hull Leeds will go back to hull for matt fryat to bolster the front line . Don't know if its a loan deal or a swap for ross . P**s take form this time last year with morrison

Lol swap with ross obviously won't happen.

Steven Fletcher is going to Hull. Forget the Ross rubbish. He already stated on social media that he's going nowhere

Two Premier League Players coming before Saturday. One is Stewart and the other is Chabaloah from Chelsea on loan

I would be surprised if Chelsea let him join us

Very surprised if they let him join from Chelsea. Fingers crossed though MOT

Hopefully they do, would be nice to have someone as good as him as our own player.

Why would everyone be surprised if he came on loan from Chelsea? They've loaned him out for the last 18 months and he won't be playing for the 1st team so they may as well send him out till the end of the season

Hes what we need but just won't happen

Brian isn't particularly well known for bringing in Loan players, and we're building for the future, not the short term. I'd say it's highly unlikely that he'll be coming in from Chelsea, especially when funds are available for purchases.

Think wells is going to villa for around 3m

BINGO that's 15 clubs he's been linked with lol

We don't have any money to buy him anyway

Yes he is going to villa for 2 million.Should be a done deal by tommorow afternoon. Leeds have missed a big opportunity there

Just a question, if he had the choice of premiership or championship, surely he has got to choose premiership?

07 Jan 2014 19:18:17
how have we missed an opportunity there, we can't compete with any Premier club.

So has he, he'll be bench warming

How have we missed out he's untested at championship level let alone prem level I think it will be a step to far for the boy I remember when we bought painter from swindon he finished top scorer for them with 26 goals for us he was pants just could not make the step up and for 2mill is a big gamble

2m to 3m .If villa want to pay that fine.Next season he will be loaned out to a championship side.To gain experience.Buy ALF who has proved he can score in all leagues.Just need the wing men.Who?

07 Jan 2014 15:09:28
David haigh, andrew flowers, peter virdee and someone from redbull involved with the takeover?

07 Jan 2014 11:13:28
Wells is going to Nottingham Forest.

If wells has out about him he will come to the boro we have the pot to be best in the championship watch the space if we had a goal man we would be flying its an open in the champ and allways will be utb

Yes but you havnt got a goal man! Strikers keep knocking you back, what's that about?

Any chance of explaining the first post in English?
What I think you are saying is that if he has a modicum of sense, he will go to Middlesbrough? This I find highly amusing.
If Bradford had a goal man I am sure they wouldn't be sat in 12th in League 1. Oh, they do!
Middlesbrough has the potential to get washed away by the next tidal surge and no-one would really know or care.
Carry on watching the 10th worst team in the Championship and you never know, if you can land a decent player and maybe win a game or two, get featured in the 1st half of the Football League Show where decent teams are shown. Have fun

If if if we had messi we would be top of the champ cause its wide open but but but we haven't! Stick to your boro page mate or are you a closet leeds fan?

Heard on Radio Leeds this morning that we are hopefull or signing 2 Prem League players before the trip to Sheff Wed on Saturday.

One of them is Cameron Stewart as we all know but the other name has not been released.

Anyone got any ideas?

Lifelongleedsfan

Probably Becchio

07 Jan 2014 10:24:44
Billy Sharp I hope

Hopefully a decent attacking midfield! Don't know where the zaha rumour came from?

Kevin philips - free agent

Didn't realise Cameron Stewart had ever actually played in the premier league.?

Aaron Mclean from Hull City

Same rumour in YEP

07 Jan 2014 11:40:29
YEP said it was two prem stars, that rules becchio out thankfully. Then again Stewart is set to sign. I hope its one of this lot

Dorrans
Adam
Guidetti
Chalobah

David Silva from Man City apparently!

07 Jan 2014 12:18:31
Hopefully Nicky Maynard! Although only likely to be a loan deal.

Why? is Becchio not a prem strker at the min?

07 Jan 2014 12:59:38
Hopefully someone like Dorrans, add a bit of talent to our woeful midfield.

David Silva? Don't be silly!

Stewart and either Maynard, Dorrans, Albrighton or Guidetti please. Please not Becchio.

Why not Becchio, proven goalscorer at this level, knows the place so wouldn't need a 'settling in period' perfect fit. Personally i'd like Dorrans and Becchio off your list, proven players at the level, remember that's what BMcD said he needed, the rest are not proven.

"Why not Becchio?" Because he hasn't played in over a year, he's not match fit, he doesn't bring anything we already have, yet more hoof ball etc. What we need is pace and creativity, not more long ball merchants.

07 Jan 2014 17:17:48
Can someone set this page as the homepage on Brian's PC ;)

That's Guidetti, I repeat Guidetti with a hint of Dorrans

Pathetic spin to call Stewart a Premier League star. Even to call him a PL player is dishonest -Hull don't want him anywhere near their squad now they're in the Prem. Aguero, Ramsey, Rooney -these guys are Premier League stars. Chapel A
