Carlton Cole
Jerome Thomas
Maynor Figeroua
Chris Brunt
Alex Pearce
Eric Lichaj
Matty Killgallon

All of those players are out of contract in the summer surely at least 4 of them should be snapped up, Thomas was brilliant when he had a loan spell with us, chris brunt is a solid midfielder and carlton cole in the championship does get goals.

Lets not forget these are free transfers, we have a transfer budget and the marquee signing I would like to see is billy sharp, he is proven at this level and would give morison and mccormack competition.

But the youth in our team is what this squad needs to be built around with the likes of chris dawson and sam byram ( if we hold on to him ) them players are the future of our team to be honest, and I for one have faith in brian mcdermott to get the right players in.

Wish list

In's - Billy sharp Chris brunt Eric lichaj Alex Pearce and Jerome thomas

Outs - Varney, Brown (dirty old tart), Aidy white, austin, tonge.

That should give a bit more transfer budget.

But at the end of the day what do I know! I'm Just giving my point of view on what's to come for the club!

Either way whatever happens the future is looking good at our club bates has gone, new owners who look to invest and a bright future on the pitch!

Who agrees!

MOT!

You don't know much about football, Sharp a marquee signing?, get real, and White, Austin and Tonge going nowhere, and anyone who slags a Leeds player off is not a fan

Will never happen

I wouldn't mind seeing billy sharp in. and I wouldn't lose much sleep if white, tonge or Austin went.
We have to trust bcm signings. as for saying can't be a Leeds fan if he slags a player off is silly.
Some of our team are terrible. we pay good money we can have an opinion.
Wouldnt take jerome Thomas but others not bad. shrew leeds

Titus Bramble anyway?

Great pro and would do we for us.


OBVIOUSLY I AM JOKING. WOULD BE THE WORST SIGNING EVER.

Bet he ends up in league 1 at best!

How about signing Dale Jennings - would be a great signing and show a lot of intent.

max clayton looks a good player we should get him before a prem club does

As much as it is great that so much quality is being released this season, some people need to realise that some players aren't worth signing even if they are for free. Jerome Thomas for example, bang average from what I saw on his loan spell and wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

No need to worry though, we all know BMD has an eye for talent, he'll bring in the right players! mot

Thomas wasnt that bad, he added width to us and was the only player with pace in are team except Byram. He clearly was fit but he was brought in on a 2 year contract I wouldn't be to disappointed, if we brought in 2 other young classy wingers aswell though.

McCormack is a good player the chances he gets at goal and he takes them and there good efforts also he has assisted around 13 goals this season

He had the second highest amount of assists behng Ince last season

Successful Leeds teams always have one or more Scots in the side. They're our good luck charms.

personally think we should build our team around McCormack, doesn't get the credit he deserves. McCormack/Sharp. With 2 pacey wingers either side? Would like Adomah personally

I agree McCormack doesn't get the credit he deserves. He works hard and can score goals. Just unlucky when it comes to selection. Maybe this year will be his year

He doesn't get the credit he deserves, he has 20 goals a season in him easy. He should be played as a striker and needs a guy with pace as his partner to create the space for him to work his magic. JT-lufc

Just dosent score enough. Would need both strikers chipping in at least 15-20 each. Would use mc as either impact player to replace striker or midfielder. Love his effort but prolific he aint

Ausman he didn't play a great deal this season and most of the games he did he was played on the wing. the season before he was 3rd top goalscorer in the league ( the 2 above him were in promoted teams ) and we finished 14th. Honestly people forget about all of 1 year ago.

Ausman, there isn't a team anywhere in which two strikers will score 15-20 each

Real Madrid, Man utd, Bayern. they all have. make of that what you will.

Call yourself a Leeds fan, how about Beckford 30 goals in 2008/09 and of course Becchio scoring 19 goals in the same season.

Liverbird {Ed013's Note - Please don't question fans on here for being Leeds fans. Not everyone knows every Leeds stat or past result etc, but still love the club. Remember, we have fans from all over the World that may not necessarily know every detail of the past. Not everyone Lives and breathes Leeds United as much as others, but all should stick together}

Didnt he score them all prior to xmas two seasons ago? Nothing in second half of season or most of last season. So one and a half seasons of not a lot.
