would anyone like to see a return of Dan Harding? out of favour at Southampton, good player, we need defenders.
Believable2
Unbelievable13
Wouldn't mind him back. Also Frazer Richardson as well as can't imagine he'll get many games next year in prem with Southampton. There both Agile full backs that can cross a good ball on the overlap.

Robbie Fowler is looking for a new team. 36 years old, wouldnt cost much, and his experience would be good to have around the squad. he would make a good substitute
Agree3
Disagree10
I think he's a little bit past it.I'd rather have Kevin Phillips if were looking for just experience and subs. Maybe even Massimo Maccarone as he's not wanted by Sampdoria anymore and I don't think he'd be bad at this level
Agree7

Fowler wasnt good enough at leeds when he was younger why would he be good enough now?
Agree7

Bloody hell, Fowler was past it when O'Leary signed him! No thanks.

You've clearly ignored most of my post about him not playing much

Thats a squad of 25- you assume other clubs will want our contracted 'deadwood'

Who the hell is the Smith you mention in midfield?

All deadwood will be offloaded 1 way or the other weather it be sold or contract mutually cancelled so player can move to a new club .

Whilst id like paddy kenny there really is no chance.lonegran would be fine with better defensive players in front of him.i watched kenny v spurs and he was superb but qpr will prob stay up and why would he want to quit a premier team prob paying better wages,this is a no go and money better spent on outfield players..shrew leeds

Aidy white offered 10,000 a week waste of money for us really as I don't think he is that good.
Believable9
Unbelievable7
It depends on the duration of the contract
Agree2

I think we will look back in a few years and regret it if we don't sign him now.. My opinion
Agree12

He will be a better player with warnocks new signings beside him
Agree7
Disagree1
Who says he has been offered 10,000? cant see it tbh.
Agree4
Disagree3
White will mature into a quality player, he just needs another season of games. If he wasn't worth 10k why would Prem' teams be looking, they'll offer him more than that we need keep hold of the better players, if we do get back up we'll need them. We may spend 5 million this coming window, but if we get we'd need spend 10 times that if we lose our better players now.

Swap deal with leon best coming to leeds

Hes got pace which we need a bit more of really he can play both wings and at left back .with a little bit more practice with his shooting he could be a top player in a few seasons

Haha if this rumour was true we would be mid table prem never mind championship. Very good team, but at the same time very unrealistic
Agree9

Good tricks, may just work, we play 15 players against everyone elses 11, After the usual sendings off, things may even up though. If N Warnock introduces a lose your weekly wage and match fee for indisciplne then the wages may just be affordable.
A good funny post.

It makes me laugh how some people have no concept of the money involved to fund that squad.

Can anyone tell me who were specifically looking at yesterday at the mk dons v Sheff UTD match because Mick jones was there, I'd understand if chef Evans was playing but he's going to prison so I don't really think there's any quality in the two sides...
Believable5

Smith and thats it, whether people agree or disagree he wants home and thats why hes being checked out
Agree5
Disagree6
I have it on very good authority it is actually Alan smith. He is very close to signing on {Ed020's Note - {whose authority?}
Agree4
Disagree8
Will you leave the Smith rumours in the past. God it's so very boring now. Been there done that, don't want him. He's found his level in league one now. Move on!
Agree7
Disagree5
Why should the smith rumours be left out-this is a rumour site and the rumour is we're watching him like it or not
Agree5
Disagree4
The player is due to sign on 6th may, the day after the league one season finishes..but then MK dons season won't be done?
Agree0

Warnock wants players who can cope with The expectations that come with playing for Leeds united- that must give smith a chance.
Agree2
Disagree5
It was ex Rangers and Dundee defender Gary Mackenzie. He has 12 months left on his contract.
Agree1
Disagree1
There is a god, not bloody Alan Smith. Glad you lot aren't Leeds manager, we'd be back in league one with the calibre of players you reckon we should sign.
Agree5
Disagree2
Smith is finished,need good hungry players to improve not a money grabbing Judas looking for one final pay day.
I am a Liverpool fan living in Leeds and have adopted Leeds as my second team,really admire your support and loyalty.Just finished reading Paint it White,great read best football fan book so far as its got none of the usual hooligan crap.
Good luck for next season.

Hey Derek I'm a Leeds fan living in Liverpool. I love the city and of course have a soft spot for Liverpool. Smith is indeed finished, however he's no judas, just got sold so that Leeds could survive.

Anyone else think we should cash in on clayton while we still can all he ever seems to do is chase shadows, give away far to many silly free kicks, and very rarely looks intrested in whats happening on the pitch, and another point i wanted to make was he never seems to look for the right pass at times and is to lightweight to play in a leeds midfield, there are better quality of midfielders out there available?
Believable12
Unbelievable19
No bloody way
Agree13

Clayton has quality no doubt about that.
Agree3
Disagree7
Have to agree with the original post. He is nothing like as good as his reputation with Leeds fans. Whether you like it or not, we need better than him in the starting line-up if we're going up next season. He should be on the bench at best.
Agree4
Disagree0
If we bring in some quality players clayton will be 1 of the best cm in the league .just need a cdm player so clayton can be more creative
Agree0

Clayton's very overrated. When was the last time he had a particularly good game - and I mean 90 minutes, not a good half or 20 minutes?

dear oh dear oh dear, Judas scores one goal in League 1 and people are saying hes coming back yet again, we dont need or want him back, hes past it, hes injury prone and would be useless in this division, i dont care about the circumstances in his move to scum, you dont go from 'ill never play for Manchester United' to 'im proud to have moved to this club' within a number of seasons, if he loved Leeds as much as he said he did, he wouldve held out for another move even if it didnt help us out with finances as we were knacked anyway, not jumped ship to the team we all hate, i dont want him back in a Leeds United shirt as he doesnt even deserve to be in one, hes gone people, we can sign younger and better quality players under Warnock, if were gonna sign players like smith we may aswell sign Seth Johnson, Jacob Burns and players like that because thats about as much use as he would be
Believable5
Unbelievable13
Another fool talking carp.

Sorry but do people really want him back at leeds? hes just not good enough
Agree11

Why won't some people give Smith a Chance?? He played well for Newcastle when they were in our position. He knows this club well and whilst he's getting on he would be a good personality to have round to bring on the youth players.
How can anyone put Smith and Seth in the same category, Smith was a quality player, you don't lose your ability overnight and I'm sure he'd get back to a level where he could make a difference, whereas Seth was always poor he just had a good season for Derby. Finally how can you tarnish Smith with 'Judas' when he left to help save the club - if you want to give someone stick go give it to Kewell, he's the REAL slum (or would you be glad to see him back instead?)
Agree0
Disagree4
I would rather have Kewell than Smith he has more to offer. He will not be coming back from playing in Australia though. {Ed020's Note - can't say he'd be welcomed after playing in turkey with they who shall not be named}
Agree2
Disagree1
Wouldnt want either of them to be honest
Agree4
Disagree0
Kewell not doing to much in Australia. Pretty ordinary as im an Aussie Leeds fan and have been watching . Give me smith any day, playing for warnock and the club that's in his heart with a massive challenge to get us back to where we should rightfully be.....you don't lose skill and smarts over night, sometimes you just need the right circumstance and motivation

Kewell - never

The original poster is absolutely 100% right. Well said.
