just a thaught..... given the recent comments made by simon grayson regarding AOB and the fact he will never (and if reasons are correct... refusing to play for leeds on saturday) wear the shirt of leeds united ever again, would it be fair to assume we will be looking to sign a centre back in the next week or so? with AOB finished, O'dea suspended for one game, and two defenders that havnt played much football in recent months im just thinking if we get a few injuries or suspensions we will be very thin at the back... any suggestions ? kilgallon?

Believable1 Unbelievable5

Good shout. That's a Killa I would want in the team, at least on the bench.

Agree2 Disagree5

Kilgallon isn't good enough.

Agree6 Disagree2

O'brien doesn't need replacing we already have plenty of C Backs to cover,His desire to not want to play for us is a blessing because he is well past his sell by date.

Believable12 Unbelievable0

We are better off without him - don't need anyone who isn't proud to wear the shirt - just hope we bring in a defensive midfielder and right back in soon , need some pace in the side

Believable1 Unbelievable9

Thanks mystic meg

Agree5 Disagree0

Heskey? weve had enough people that cant hit a barn door, we dont need another donkey

Agree6 Disagree0

Frend of sg but it is amaybe

Agree0 Disagree0

Mccartney is a good young keeper but reading wont want to sell

isnt lichaj injured? again good prospect doubt villa will want to sell

would love to see kilgallon back either on loan or permanent

smith isnt a cdm and obv money is more important to him...hes a spent force now anyway

noble? KB wouldnt pay his wages but he is a good player and important to WH

forsell wont be going out on loan hes still a good player just hasnt had a chance yet

somma is still injured and when hes fit again he wont be the player he was before due to the CL tear

and heskey is quality, his holding the ball up and being a target man is fantastic but we really need someone to put them in the back of the net and heskey isnt that kinda player but would be a great signing

Agree0 Disagree6

Would prefer to see McPhail back than any of the other ex Leeds lot. He's proven at this level, commands midfield like Batty used to and has excellent distribution.

Agree2 Disagree2

No sorry this is the only player sg will bid for noble swop for o'brien but we have to pay so money 3m to 5m

Agree0 Disagree0

I just watched the highlights OMG Connelly was a donkey get rid of him flog O'Brien for £1, and lets get a right back in asp.

though Nunez did reasonably well when he came on too ...... Gj

Believable12 Unbelievable1

Becchio and keogh

McCormack and nunez

Agree1 Disagree8

Agreed connolly always makes mistakes and his last ball isnt always good enough....RB is a priority for SG

Leeds need to sign a replacement for Andy Obrien. Maybe get a youngster on loan from a premiership team with a bit of pace

Believable2 Unbelievable5

Give Alex Bruce or Monty Gimpel a try with either Lees or Kisnorbo + we also have Bromby so theres way too many CB's that can be either used or sold before we can get new ones

Agree8 Disagree0

I say kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Get rid AOB. Blood Gimpel and keep Arsene's bloodsucking at bay. MOT.

Agree8 Disagree0

Brombys not good enough he cost us 2 points against brighton

No player is bigger than the club, so andy o'brien can p*ss off

Believable16 Unbelievable1

20 Nov 2011 09:18:23
I know its unlikely but would anyone else rather keep McCarthy over lonergan?

Believable8 Unbelievable13

Keep both !

Agree14 Disagree0

We need to secure Premiership status then go back to the Madesjki and get him back. He's got Premiership class. I think he enjoys playing for the mighty whites.

Agree10 Disagree0

Completely agree. Future England keeper.

Any one know the story with O'Brian? BBC website reads like his spat his dummy out

Believable10 Unbelievable1

My guess is on Friday AOB asked SG if he was starting at Turf Moor. SG probably gave a non-committal answer or maybe even a no. AOB aware of what's happening with Big Sam then uttered those words "I never want to play for Leeds again". It's simple in my opinion. He just wants a move. There's no Tevez home sick style drama here. He just wants a move.

Agree5 Disagree1

O'brien is dog poo anyway always has been look at how many points he has cost us alone I.e the game against Portsmouth last season. I say sell him and don't loan him out to the hammers which looks likely. Get a new CB in like kilgallon or give monty gimple a chance. Anything is better than that big nosed donkey.

Believable10 Unbelievable1

Surely refusing to play makes him in breach off contract ,Therefor his contract should be ripped up .Tevez denied refusing to play as I read it big nose is not .get ready for him to slag Grayson the fans,If you read his interview in yep he has a sly dig at fans and Graysons handeling of rachubka .Footballers need to get real if I messed up at work I would be run over the coals .But cos a player gets booed or slaged they take there bat n ball home it's a disgrace .O Brian should take a long look in the mirror if his massive nose will allow him to ,

Agree11 Disagree1

Totally agree with the above - and that last sentence is absolute quality haha!! Love it!!

Leeds did not play well in the 1st half against
Burnley but lucky to get the 3 points. Defence
needs to tighten up.Conolly the weak link in the
defence.Simon needs to bring in extra cover for
that position.Shock to hear O'Brian wants an exit
from Leeds.I think he is trying to engineer a move
to West Ham.Luckily Leeds have enough CB as
cover. When the Jan window opens,Simon needs
to look for a RB,CB,Holding Midfielder and a goalie.
So many positions to cover.Bates needs to back
Simon on this if Leeds were to get promoted this
season.Consistency the key in this championship.
Leeds seems to play well in one game and not so
well in another.Simon needs to work on that area.
Rumours claim Simon might sign Maik Taylor as
cover for Andy Lonergan.Hopefully on a shorterm
not a long one.A 40 year old keeper.Goodness.
There are more younger ones. MOT.

Just read apparently Grayson has said andy o'brien will NEVER play or Leeds again as long as Grayson is in charge. Apparently for doing a Tevez style rejecting to play against Burnley source- telegraph

Believable7 Unbelievable1

Odd one. anyone verify this?

Agree4 Disagree3

If only he was half as good as Tevez.

Agree7 Disagree0

This is true, have a look on sky sports football under Leeds. Apparantley he went in the office on friday and told SG that he dunt want to play again. Good Riddance to the pile of s**t! No one is bigger than the club. NR

Agree6 Disagree0

What r u onn a bout

Agree1 Disagree7

I say let him rot, he wasn't that good anyway Gj

Agree7 Disagree0

The quote in the Sunday Telegraph from Simon reads: "Andy O'Brien came to me on Friday and said that he longer wanted to play for this football club. He won't play for us again as long as I am here. It came as a shock, especially as I have backed him publicly and privately over the last few weeks. As manager, I have the right in the early parts of the season to take players out of the team and bring others in. I have said that Andy had trained well and did enough to get back into the team against Leicester. He said he didn't want to play then but I said I needed him to and I thought he played well. I don't want to say too much about the circumstances just now but we will decide internally what happens now and make a statement next week".

dont wanna put a damper on things especially after a good result today but i really think we're short at least 2 really good players still dont think we have replaced a beckford(25 goals) or more a season yes ross has come good dont think becchio is anywhere near his best hope his best day arent behind him love to get rhodes form hudderfield what a signing he would be but as danny mills said and i have to agree we have a good squad but really dont have any particular special player that we desperetely need for promotion push if KB dont think we are where we should be then he should put up a few million to make fresh new additions to the team but no squad players someone like a marquee signing what you think? irish leeds fan!

Where does it say about o'brien? Is it defo true that he refused to play? {Ed007's Note - Where does it say it? Welcome to earth mate. We are basically a friendly race and mean your kind no harm. Download a computer search engine called Google on your superior intelligence console/keypad or holographic touch screens and type his name in. One or two places are reporting on the subject. Has there been a glitch in The Matrix?}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Funny note Ed but next time will you tell us how you really feel? This sit on the fence stuff no good for any of this website's many readers. MOT.

Yes actually there was a glitch in my matrix, my console/computer or electrical equipment was working in full order but my fingers were melfunctioning in that geographical area of the keyboard so was unable to correctly type in google oh wow it jus worked, or was it that i couldnt be a*sed and wanted to make convo

I thought Lloyd Sam and McCarthy played really good Saturday, well done to them

Believable2 Unbelievable2

I agree, Mcarthy is a top class young goalie and we should sign him permenantly

Agree3 Disagree1

Sam looked lost on the left, all he did was the assist, he left a wide berth for the first goal, he shouldve been closing out the area and the cross wouldnt have gone in that easy

Agree1 Disagree1

All Sam needs is games. Want to see him get/earn a new deal.

O'Brien the little scumbag has deleted his twitter so we couldnt hammer him with abuse. The fact is hes s**te, and we gave him more than enough opportunities. let him rot in the under 18's reckon, the horrible little rat

Believable6 Unbelievable1

I swear twitter was banned anyway since Sommagate

Agree4 Disagree1

He is a bit old for under 18's but Selby Town are looking for some center backs loan him here
