Surely mills can't be the player who excites Brian?Good player though he probably is, I was expecting flair player or goalscorer personally, perhaps that's a different player

Unbelievable0
Well I for one am excited that we potentially get a multi million pound player to help us keep clean sheets. I remember on these same postings a few years ago when Leicster paid all that money for him, people were whinging that we couldn't get him because Bates wouldn't fund a deal. BMD
will give him back his Mojo, after all he plucked him out of nowhere from Doncaster for a steal and turned him into a multi million pound defender.
Trust the Gaffer he knows what he is doing.

I like the investment part and the deathstar part but not so sure about the rest. However, the deathstar would be worth it

I might be wrong but can't say I have heard anything to contradict what I am going to ask, so please bear with me.
Are we missing a trick here, re the GK "vacancy" Scottish International still without a club (thats the bit I don't know for fact) previously cost £ 9 million, currently training with Rangers I think, namely Craig Gordon only 30 years old and available and given our previous "luck" with Scottish keepers worth a punt?

No he will want big wages and there r better younger gks.
Agree0

Good idea. but I'm sure he retired as he couldn't get over the injury
Agree0

OP Here Big wages, surely any wage is better than the no wage he is getting now? as for retired did a bit of digging is def training with Rangers on none contract basis

With the interest confirmed in Mills we'll see whether GFH have a transfer kitty. I have a feeling this won't be
a loan move. I think they are being shrewd with not making public that we have cash to spend.
Can't wait for the 3rd!

Hope its just a loan have you seen how slow he is?

John terrys hardly usain bolt is he. U wouldn't mind having him at centre back. Quit moaning and support new signings

Its not Fifa his pace isn't s major factor

Pace is huge 4 a cb. willy zaha would run rings round him and many others.

He won't be coming up against zaha though will he's going to be playing in the prem

Looks like leeds are moving in on matt mills, a very accomplished cb that I believe would be a fantastic addition to the team! The only thing I would say is that I doubt he is the player Brian said he is 'excited' about. The reason I say this is because it's not a word you'd usually use to describe a cb, however good he is. If I am right in saying this, then that means there is more to come! Buckle up guys and dolls mot

I like mills but we currently have better.

YP has announced that Leeds have made an enquiry for Matt Mills. I sometimes find it confusing why we feel the need to wait to secure deals for players in that we needed a quality centre back 3 weeks ago. With just over a week to go before the start of the season it would have made more sense to bring mills into the fold earlier. I suppose the answer is that by waiting we make Bolton more desperate and therefore get a better deal, does the end justify the means?

Only positives can come out of a link up with redbull. Finance is the big one but also a greater level of attraction for players as it shows some serious ambition. I personally have been really impressed with GFH so far. They made great signings with potential in Luke Murphy and Matt Smith. Noel Hunt is class and matt mills would be great. Chuck a couple more in there and perhaps a few quality loans from the premiership and we will be right in contention

We have a tie up with holiday inns which is the bigget hotel group in the world, compass who are the biggest in the world in their field of catering. if we get red bull on board as well it would be awesome. all serious players and all worthy of a prem club. 3 more quality signings and we will be in our most positive position for ten years surely.

Red Bull buying Elland Road and re-naming the ground.
http://tinyurl.com/ngabon5
I personally think this is a good thing. All the fans will still call it Elland Road anyway but it would get some more much needed investment in players and we would own the Stadium again, so we don't have to pay fees to use it every season.

Who are red bull going to be paying? we don't own elland road anymore. we rent so it looks like bates is going to get a nice paycheque. to me this sounds like bates had this all planned. I hope i'm wrong.

19 Jul 2013 10:39:04
if this red bull sponsorship goes through and elland road gets renamed will it really be that bad? at least we will have a war chest to compete I can't see it happening any other way. we will still know it as elland road.
Believable0
Unbelievable0
We won't have a war chest gfh will keep most of it to get back their investment.
Agree0

I don't think a major International company like Red Bull would invest in Leeds just to let GFH take it for profit, they wiuld want to see Leeds pushing on for the Prem to seethir investment reap maximum publicity.
Why be so negative always. They havnt put a foot wrong yet.
Agree0

Red bull linking up with a mid table c-ship club which is what we are at the moment is not their style. they must be convinced we a going to be in the prem in the next few years and be part of the success.

Mcc offer in
Worth considering if we could splash the cash on defender and prolific
Gonna take a while to shift the dead wood, not even sure if we will be stuck with them.
$2mill plus is reasonable for him I reckon.
You all agree right?

Dont often find myself agreeing with ausman posts but this obe I do 100%!
Agree0
Disagree0
No I don't agree cause we need McCormack because help in the attack and defence is not the biggest position we need filling its wingers
Agree0
Disagree0
3.5 mill atleast - would be price of a replacement - don't want McCormack to go - successful Leeds sides always have Scots in them ;)
Agree0
Disagree0
Nar considering marvin emnes from boro is worth 1.5 mill then mccormack has 2 b 3mill plus. if we sell mccormack then we have no chance of going up, you really think hunt, smith, poleon will strike fear into any defence? smith I like but poleon is not ready yet and hunt is useless. mccormack is still miles better than any of our attackers.
Agree0
Disagree0
Yeah def agree if the money is used well
Agree0

Bunch of romantics except 2nd post. Brothers in arms pal!
Mcc has great commitment, works hard, promises heaps but dosent deliver. He is not a prolific striker. He will not be our top scorer this season and he ain't worth 3. 5. Bet you lot still write to your first girlfriend!? Jeees.
Agree0
Disagree0
Ausman why would it make sense to get rid of a player that clearly enjoys playing for this club
Agree0
Disagree0
Hes worth atleast 3 mill. he is a decent goal scorer but we just need teamplaying midfielders not greedy like austin and brown. remember ross at cardiff he was scoring for fun. better mid and he will score as he's proved in past

Brad Jones could be the keeper to replace Ashdown with Liverpool buying Mignolet and already having Reina he won't want to be a number three when he can be a number one at Leeds. {Ed001's Note - he is a Liverpool fan who has said many times that he would rather be a reserve at Liverpool than a first teamer anywhere else. So you might be wrong on that, though you can't always believe what people say.}

Hes a god awful goalkeeper anyway, did you see some of his performances for Boro?

Isnt Gordon still available? not quite a back up keeper but still.
Still annoyed we missed out on Carson.
Agree0
Disagree0
Hate it when fans make out like we have missed out on a player how do you know mcdermott even wanted him
Agree0
Disagree0
Why do people think we will sign a permanent keeper because of Ashdowns injury? - When Ashdown is well again we would have 4 keepers - surely a loan is more likely
Agree0

Jan mucha from everton? you must b having a laugh he's quality and will b at a bigger team.

Nah don't sign Craig Gordon, don't trust anybody with 2 first names
