Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

We need another proven goalscorer cos as good as diouf is he is not prolific in front of goal,and no one knows how good somma will be after such an injury,we can't rely on becchio to score all the goals,cos every striker goes through a lean spell in front of goal,Charlie austin for me imagine becchio and Austin,certain promotion.

Warnock said he wants another striker so when becchio is struggling we have other optionss

Gradel coming back for me is a no brainer he can play wing and is also very dangerous up front would make defences shudder with fear. The guy also loves Leeds I think he sees that now sometimes u have to leave in order to know what you have lost. If we guna buy one striker he's the man will get fans back on side in floods after all that's gone on we need our owners to do some 'making up' for past sales of players and if I would have anyone back it would be mad max stuff the other ex-players spread the word mad max! mad max! mad max! Merry Xmas

You say Gradel loves Leeds? but he was in Graysons office pleading to be allowed to leave ... that is not the action of a player who loves Leeds.

he left to be near his family and to play in a top flight league so its fair enough if he fancied a go at the big time

He wanted to leave to be closer to family... i dont know about you but family is more important to me than a job

Op here to 1st post if u read more carefully he did infact ask for a transfer ur right but as I clearly stated when I say u don't miss it till its gone I mean the lufc support u know he rather be in a more interesting league than the French one. Teams in France are proper boring and are quite content on getting draws and not pushing games I hate all this beckford back and Harte old end of the line players past their prime mad max is different and if we want the stadium full every week we need this type of quality bums on seats that's all the new owners want so say again spread the word mad max! Mad max! Mad max! Merry Xmas : )

If we really want to go up we need a lot of pace and 100% committed players.im not sure if a chance of Shaun wright phillips,mackie and c m smith who is very committed on the field but these would make a massive statement.ryan hall is quick but he will never make a diff to us going up.also whatever happened to Michael Johnson.not saying he would make a diff but haven't heard his name for ages.
Someone I'd like to see and he isn't getting a sniff is jay Rodriguez .he was quality in this league..
Merry Xmas to all on here...shrew leeds

I think leeds have done very well to get in the position they are now. The lack of players due to injuries and suspencions was shocking. Great work from nw and the lads to prove a point, where going up!... Signings to get in january i think a new striker, rickie lambert. And neil danns , also tie up all are loanes. M.o.T

Yes I'd think they would be 2 good buys.we have no chance of lambert or gradel as some rumours suggest,and becks staying at hudd so rule him out.oh and who the hell would want joey Barton,horrid character and not even good.your 2 picks seem good and also possible,shrew leeds
Agree0

Yea i can see them coming into the team nicely and i think wouldn't cost a great amount too but remember lb position needs sorting as well
Agree0

I would like to see us do a bid for Boyd and a cheecky one for Simeon Jackson. That lad knows how to turn a defence with turn of pace. The skys the limit with them two onboard.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL LUFC FANS!!!

Beckford, Lamber and CMS are too old. We need a young(ish) striker who wants to prove himself, take Becchio for example when he came to the club.

It's good to have a fewer older and wiser heads when building from a lower division, look at the impact kevin Phillips had for a lot of years and Bellamy at Baadiff is doing a great job

Lambert too old,, ,It would be Christmas if he came but lets face it he's in the Southampton team,why come to us when's he's happy there and playing..if your going to comment on players ages at least give us someone who might come.shrew leeds

don't think we should keep tonge,his is ok but nothing more plus he hasn't the legs for a hard second half of the season, think the money would be better spent on a creative midfielder

Lucas Piazon on loan from Chelsea would be a sick signing. He's decent at passing, dribbling, shooting and he looks strong too. He's also Brazilian so he's definatley got flare, which is just what we need.

55 points from the 2nd half of the season should guarantee we win the league .
41 points out of the 2nd half should be enough for play-offs

Why is everyone obsessed wiv makail smith.. yeah u cant knock his work rate but never scores.. it wud be a waste of 1,5mill. A high profile striker who scores goals and would cost ony 500k is tom pope. yeah plays in a lower division accepted but knows where the net is and is pacey, hungry and young. Perfect competition for becchio imo.. just cos we got money dont mean we spend it stupid. a decent left back to sign would be cunningham from bristol city young again and hets down the wing only costing 700k and a creative midfielder mcgugan 500k again. a good player at this level. barring that dont think we need anyone else. leaving a team like this
kenny
Byram lees tatey cunningham
green mcgugan austin thomas
becchio diouff
Impact subs: somma mccormack pope norris hall pearce ashdown
rid of; brown.. peltier.. varney.. gray.. White..

Billy paynter played in a league above Tom pope before joining Leeds and he knew where the back of the net was..........

CMS was extremely prolific in league 1 (35 goals in the 2010-11 season) and his work rate really is second to none. For me he would be a terrific signing.
Agree7

Thankfully its not the OP's decision who we will sign
Agree0

Mcgugan
Davies
Boyd
Danns
I think no more than approx 3 million for this quartet. Forget mackail Smith, too dear for what your getting.
Agree0

Op here well my opinion dint go down well but tbh i dont care that much. u all want a striker who never scores goals n do u all seeiously think he can challenge becchio for his position. we need hunger and youth and pace ip front not some overrated player who thinks hes the best thing since sliced bread. so u agree with paying someone like cms 20k a week to do nothing over soneone on 10k a week who can come off the bench n change a game. i want success on the pitch but we have made the mistake of doin this in the past. remember!
so my opinion is as valied as any otha like it or not cms is not the signing we need.
merry xmas to all leeds fans and a happy 2013

I find it unlikely that Southampton would part with Lambert, as he's just one of those players that come along every now and again and finds the net from an impossible angle. But i reckon that come January...:

Lewis McGugan
George Boyd

What striker could improve us now somma back.
Waste of time buying makel or anybody like that
What striker can we get that will improve our attack?
Why do you think warlock persists with varney, peltier etc?
We are play off bound and need 11 quality players to get to wembley.
The six are. Cardiff. Middlesbrough, leeds, Leicester, nots forest and Blackpool or palace.
Put money on it.

its more about making sure if becchio gets injured or stops scoring that we had a player at the squad that can play that roll as warnock said the other day

The one thing we don't have that a lot of other teams have up front is pace, it's no good having pacey wingers if know one can get in there or keep up with them.

Just A Suggestion... Leeds should rely buy a keeper and creative mid feilder with a defensive mind-set, (e.g a player LIKE pirlo).. Then for a Striker i think they should but a wee dorty bid in for odemwingie or long.. Agree or Disagree?

The guy at sheff weds on loan from man city looks lightening quick and scored a cracker on saturday , hes off back to them now . perhaps they think working with dave jones and loosing every week for most of his stay is not doing him any good . may be worth neil aving a look at him .

People on this Site make me laugh with the suggestions, and runours, long has been one of the best strikers in the pemier leauge and is in great form why would he even consider droping a division.

I agree to a certain extent, I think CMS might be our Championship equivalent of Billy Barndoor in League One. He only appears to perform against us. He certainly isn't worth the reported £3mill they stated in the summer. Brighton have struggled to score goals. Rikie Lambert or Fraizer Campbell would be good alternatives in my opinion.

I agree . he works hard but doesn't put the ball in the net enough . if we get a striker he has to more prolific than that . if we sign anyone from championship it has to be Austin or the lad from palace Murray
