Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

15 May 2012 23:43:45
Dont know about anybody else but I would love to see Danny Guthrie from Newcastle in our midfield! He would make us get the ball down and play!

Believable11 Unbelievable3

We'd also need a lot of cover his discipline is awful

Agree1 Disagree1

Beccio has apparently been talking to fellow countryman javier zanetti about finishing his career in yorkshire after stating he has always been fascinated by english football and grew up supporting leeds as a boy

Believable2 Unbelievable5

That's Becchio isn't it? Not Warnock, Harvey or bates so he can't decide if he can come to this club.
ConnorMOT!

Agree2 Disagree1

Young and hungry players with pace is what Warnock is after, dont think Zanetti makes the cut! Would have him as a player/coach and leaning more towards the coaching side of things, great wealth of experience.

Agree1 Disagree3

Got a slight feeling number two could be signing tomorrow.
ConnorMOT!

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Hope number 2 isn't sh@t.

Quick lets sign smith he scored.. He is brilliant again!! Lets sign him up.. Then again, lets now.

Believable9 Unbelievable2

Can't quite believe the flood of posts proclaiming we should sign him hasn't started yet! Maybe it's too late for the Smith fans to be up!

Agree8 Disagree2

ed been watching mk dons game it seems to me that larrys defensive problems follow him around mot nicky bee {Ed013's Note - He has inherited that squad from Lee Clarke so too early to judge. I hope they tighten up against Sheff Utd at Wembley}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Would be hilarious if MK Dons got given their place in the final after their 'fans' attacking Smithy at the end.

Agree7 Disagree2

Hope smith gave them a right hook! I would've done! Horrible individuals

Agree7 Disagree1

Tell ya what the FA could well take some action against Huddersfield ! Guess its depends if Smudger makes a fuss or not?

Agree2 Disagree2

I don't think there'll be any action taken against Huddersfield. Our players were attacked at Carlisle after the Johnstone Paints semi (glad we're not in that any more!) and nothing of any consequence happened as far as I remember. Put it this way, Carlisle still went through!

Agree3 Disagree1

They conceeded one goal lol hardly defensive problems

Agree0 Disagree1

Don't like smithy but to attack someone for being a leeds lad then i say. Win your game against sheff and we'll show you boys what its like to be kicked and spat at. WE ARE LEEDS!!! mot4life

Not a rumour of sorts, just interested in people's opinions on Warnock's comments on Sky Sports earlier (for those who haven't, here's the article: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/7755960/Warnock-No-budget-conflict).

Basically saying they agree on the transfer budget, but I'm really interested as to how much he's got to spend. Anyone got any feelings on how much funds he has? I reckon around £2-3 million. {Ed013's Note - He will have all the money from the sale of any players, but to start with I agree around 2 million leaving 1.5 after the Pearce buy}

Any new news Ed? {Ed013's Note - No mate}

Believable2 Unbelievable0

15 May 2012 19:06:48
players who i believe we may be able to tie up deals with during the transfer window are:
Joel Ward
Shaun Derry
Greg Halford
George Boyd
Sammy Clingan

Would like to see us approach:
Darren Ambrose
Jacob Butterfield
Sean St Ledger
Jermaine Beckford
Matt Mills
Brian Stock
Zac Whitbread
Matt Connolley

leeds united pair robert snodgrass and ross mcormack will choose not to extend their current deals at united.
the two have been offered new contracts by the white giants but the news that they have both been left out of the scottish national side has understandable left them feeling a little dissapointed.

this exclusion from the national side couldnt of come at a worse time for leeds united as theyre hoping to tie the duo down for atleast an extra year.

they may however feel that they have more of a chance breaking into the national side at a prem club or a championship club with real automatic promotion ambitions.

as a leeds fan i would be very dissapointed were this to happen.

no source, just educated guess

Believable1 Unbelievable12

"Educated" I doubt very much.

Agree6 Disagree2

Hoping theyre just hanging on to see what sort of team nw putting together.
we could be that automatic promotion prospect.cant blame them for i suppose.
ts

Agree2 Disagree1

Both have been in and out of the scottish squad, so neither will be shocked by not being included in the squad. although i do not understand why mackail smith is in the squad but mccormack isnt

Agree2 Disagree0

15 May 2012 17:05:31
Leeds united pair Robert snodgrass and Ross McCormack not to extend their current deals with united. The two are understandably disappointed with being left out of the Scotland squad and feel they would have a better chance of playing for their national side if they were at a premiership clubs or championship clubs challenging for automatic promotion.

No source, just educated guess

As a Leeds fan, I'd be very disappointed were this to happen. This exclusion couldn't of come at a worse time.

Come on warnock, give them a reason to stay and get a couple more through the door.

What do we think of this for next season?

Halford Lees Pearce Ward

Believable2 Unbelievable2

A better centre half in place of Lees would be good.

Agree8 Disagree2

Yeh, a real rock who can dominate in the air.

Clint hill

Would prefer a genuine left back. lees on the bench

watched sheff utd last night.
little quinn would be a good signing if they dont go up.

Believable1 Unbelievable6

Here we go again, shame monty didn't play too lol

Agree1 Disagree0

15 May 2012 16:14:15
I thought Luke Freeman ans Stephen Quinn looked like brilliant talents.
Also, is Tom Heaton now a free agent after rejecting a new contract at Cardiff or does he have another year left? Would be miles better than Lonergan IMO

Believable1 Unbelievable4

15 May 2012 14:52:44
Just checked out the final table an pompey conceeded the same amount of goals as blackpool who finished 5th but they were pitiful ingront of goal so yh lets take there defenders but i think we should look elswere for our new hero goalscorers

15 May 2012 14:52:14
Thank God! Billy Paynter will join Sheffield United.... but only if they dont go up! doh! i would carry him there myself if he wasnt so heavy!

WOW just seen joey barton looking at the leeds kits in JJB sports in kirkstall!... i think he would fit into LUFC very well... expect signing to be announced at 6pm on friday! MOT

Believable3 Unbelievable5

He's in portugal...

Agree5 Disagree1

Idiot.

Agree5 Disagree1

He's on holiday in Portugal according to his twitter account . . Poor effort!

Agree3 Disagree1

HaHa! Sorry for posting again, but also . . Why would he be looking at kits? (they get em free yanah) . . And how would you get a day and time for him signing from watching him do some shopping? Was he having it printed on his kit or summit?

WHOPPER

Agree3 Disagree1

Funny that he's in portugal on holiday.

Agree4 Disagree0

Jeez, the people on here! Some thicko's just don't get jokes do they? To the original poster, I wouldn't bother any attempt at humour if I were you, it will go over most peoples heads on here. I for one thought it was quite funny but not as funny as Whopper's reply ffs!

Agree7 Disagree1

What's the point in making an absolutely stupid lie up?

Agree4 Disagree2

It's called banter as the site suggests... God forbid anyone having a sense of humour! If you weren't so thick you would have realised it was an intended poke at all the crap rumours on here and not intended to be taken seriously. I mean how many times have people posted... 'seen at TA' or even better 'seen in Billy's Bar' when it's an absolute crock of s**te?

Agree4 Disagree2

Well that's why everyone is wanting to cut the rubbish out, people come on this site to read genuine rumours not listen to dribble, if people want to play games go to the park with their school mates

Agree1 Disagree3

This site's actually called Leeds Banter numb nuts

Agree5 Disagree0

I thought it was a good post on the 'banter' page. rumour page is for the more serious stuff. Masterbates is right, Leeds do have a couple of morons and I think they come on this site. And please don't reply saying err his name is Ken Bates. Keep the banter flowing.

Agree1 Disagree0

15 May 2012 14:01:02
Hi i have heard of a striker who will score lots of goals for Leeds if he is given a chance. He really wants to join LUFC and Warnock is thinking about it. He is called Clyde Wijnhard (his nickname is 'goal machine').. believable if you would sign him?

Believable5 Unbelievable2

Didn't he score a hat-trick vs Man U in the 'Masters' Tournament last summer?

Agree0 Disagree0

What are you insane.

Is this the same player that is 38 and played 12 games and scored 4 in 1998 who has been retired for the last 6 year.

Get real what we need is youth

Agree1 Disagree1

The same Clyde Wijnhard who played for us 10 years ago?!

Agree1 Disagree0

Lol @ serious replies, the guy is taking the mickey! LMFAO !

Agree6 Disagree0

Great shout, another name been thrown around is an up and coming speedster called Rod Wallace, they would tear our league apart. Come on Neil sign em up!!!

Agree1 Disagree0

Ed please sort these absolutely stupid posts out please surely you must read them before publishing them, much appreciated if you can {Ed013's Note - Its on the Banter page and makes a change to have a laugh rather than delete posts on Alan Smith or un-realistic posts}

Agree2 Disagree0

Hey Ed not been funny or anything but your going back on trying to stop the c**p getting posted, as you wrote your self: 14 May 2012 12:37:42
Leeds should take a punt on fleetwoods jamie vardy can play as winger or attacker plus we should sign clingan rather than green
super_leeds_fan {Ed013's Note - Lets spread the word and get everyone to sign off with a name and e-mail like yourself. This will help to gain a good reputation and will help us to stop the rubbish getting through. Thanks}
So can understand why I'm confused cheers

{Ed13's Note - I don't mind a laugh and a joke, especially on the Banter site and quite clearly Clive Wijnhard isn't going to sign. We are trying to stop the trouble causers and the lies etc. For instant if someone comes across deadly serious that Leeds have bid 5 Million for Adam Le Fondre, that is obviously utter rubbish so won't or shouldn't get posted. All the ex players getting linked is annoying, however if people start signing off with names and a transfer happens then it gives that person more credibility and next time they will be more believable. Also, in the future when we require another Leeds editor than I can suggest certain people that leave their e-mail address, sign off with a name and have a good reputation. There is a difference between Banter and complete rubbish/lies. I hope that clears it up}

Agree2 Disagree0

I dont mind a bit of banter either, its the lies and peoples ideal team suggestions that irritate me....the latter more so why do people do it?

I'd have Rod at his best back in a heartbeat!

Read today that Nigel Reo Coker has been released from Bolton. I reckon he would be a good signing although I'm guessing he will be after premier league football.

Believable6 Unbelievable0

High wages and will easily get premiership interest

non-starter

15 May 2012 12:14:57
If paper rumours are true and olsson is a target for chelsea proves bertrand isnt in the plans there for the future why dont we male a loan with view to permament deal in place for the guy. young energetic left back twice as gd as white hmmm.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Hope not he fumbles around too much, surprised he was playing premiership football, I would be bothered if he went back to Sheffield, would rather see westwood or McCarthy or just stick with lonergan to be fair

Anyone else think that Matthew Lowton looked good for Sheff Utd last night?
He has pace and liked to get forward, his ball in for the goal was brilliant, only 22 years old, could be a good addition?

Anyone else fancy signing Paul Gallagher from Leicester? . Ipswich have apparently been linked so he might want to leave leicester?

Believable7 Unbelievable1

I've watched Leeds play leicester a few times and hes got a clever head on him tucks Inside when he's need and make decent tackles and will take fouls to break up play class player here's to hoping MOT

Agree3 Disagree0

(im original poster)
i was going to add that ive seen leeds play leicester a few times as well, and him and Andy King were always their best players. Very good technical player.Scores some absolute wonder goals (like the one he scored against us when we were 2-0 at the king power and drew 2-2 last season)
