Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

Zaha? Ha! Byram had him in is pocket. At the game and thought Leeds were better. Jerome Thomas made a big difference and last night we got more crosses in than we have done all season! GFH will hopefully spend a few pounds in January!

Believable28 Unbelievable0

Yer, and ken to gain a few pounds too in december.

Agree3 Disagree2

Just read a website write up on game and there seem to think zaha was all over sam
dont no what game they were watching

I was at match yesterday as I always am and was stupid enough to think that all the people who said they would come back when TO went through actually would come back. I've been a ST for a long time and know how difficult financially it has been to keep going to every game. But if yu don't show up until we start winning how can you be anything other than a fair weather fan?

It will take time for the fans to come back as alot have felt they have been cheated .

Agree8 Disagree3

He's behind you. ohhh no he isn't, yes he is, ohhh no he isn't.

Agree0 Disagree0

Leeds fans have been taken for a ride and felt alianated by whats gone on for the last 7 years , they are still leeds fans , they wont be supporting anyone else and when they see that the new board are treating the fans with respect and want to build a team we can all be proud of and worthy of our club theyll be back , no problem .

Agree5 Disagree2

More will come back now after that good win even more so if we win next game

Agree0 Disagree2

I'm sorry, well no im not, how can ppl still be going on about feeling cheated over last 7 years, surely getting into the rut selling all our player to cover the depts in the first place was when we were cheated. That was the cause of it all and ppl and still moaning about bates after he has sold the club. The takeover has gone though get a grip and get behide the team and show as much support as you can. Im going to go to as many games as I can afford this season, it wont be many as I live miles away, but the ppl who have been saying im not lining bates pocket which is the pethetic as the money is clearing going in to the club not in his pocket! I dont have a problem with the ppl who cant afford to go week in week out, its the ones that are more intresting in moaning rather that shouting about the fact we have new oweners and investment, new faces, and what looks like a new attitude after saturday.

Agree2 Disagree2

Your not going to go to all the games as you live too far away? Call yourself a real fan, a real fan goes to every game no matter what.

Agree0 Disagree8

To last poster.
So a "real" fan goes no matter what.
Does that mean people who have kids and mortgages should give them up and go to the match. You need to live in the real world. Not everyone can afford to go every game and it doesn't mean that they aren't real fans. I could go to watch my local team every week because its 2 miles away and cheap but it doesn't make me a real fan.

Agree2 Disagree0

The fact is there were more leeds fans not at the game than were there on saturday . how many clubs in the c-ship can get a crowd of 20,000 and say that . look at the bright side

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Tait and Pearce anyday

Tate n england u21 international or tate n big dummy relegated with pompey? No brainer.

Back four so far this season (unless we get vidic and hummels in jan) haha

I thought both new loan players looked great, Pearce and lees win everything in the air but haven't got a pass between them. Thomas looks like he knows how to play a bit as well as gettting crosses in and taking players on, what a difference to watching the headless chicken that is Aidy White. Also if you play lees at right back (when Pearce is back) and push Byram to right mid I think ehd will love playing football with two wingers who can actually play football.....
My team for tues would be.
Kenny
Byram. Tate. Lees. Pelltier (doh!)

Green Norris. Tonge. Thomas

ELD. Rossco

Maybe swapping green and Byram if required, I think this gives us better actual footballers and would hopefully create a better passing game instead of the normal hoof to becehio, becehio loses it etc etc....yawn yawn yawn!!

Kenny
Byram, Tate, Lees Drury
Hall, Norris, Tonge, Thomas

People saying their staying away because of bates. :(
Ye he ruined our club but staying away now will do nothing but harm our club.
It's rediculous how people say "I'm not coming because bates is still involved."
Bates isn't our club and will have hardly any influence next season.
People that say this need to grow up or reveal themselves as not real supporters.
Bates has done bad in the past to our club. But their is no reason now to use him as an excuse for not supporting the team.
If u use him as an excuse now, you'll be using him as an excuse in 30 years time when he's probably dead!

Believable21 Unbelievable7

People who stay away because of Bates were never real fans!! They are using Bates as a scape goat and they are as pathetic as the trouble causes (LUST). Leeds would be better off without LUST, they've caused more damage to our club than anyone including Ridsdale!

Agree14 Disagree14

Most certainly unless he lives to 111.

Agree7 Disagree0

Could never get into the 'we hate bates' mentality. He saved the club, made his money , got out(almost) amd left us in the Championship with a decent manager and new owners. What are you whinging about?

Agree16 Disagree17

25 Nov 2012 13:04:37
Regarding the Bates issue. I don't really like him but let's face it he did save the club, he has stabilised the finances, he has improved the revenue stream and we are now in profit. We now have new owners and Bates will move upstairs. OK he has made a lot of money out of the sale of the club but what does that tell you? He is a good business man. GHF probably need his advice during the transition period and in his presidency. So no more Bates out chanting. It's a new era. Let everything be positive from now on, no negativity at ER. Get behind the team and I am sure they will repay us, if not this season DEFINITELY next. JD

Believable27 Unbelievable23

JD are you KB in disguise ?

Agree10 Disagree10

No mate I'm just trying to be rational! JD

Agree12 Disagree6

The replier just sums up what is wrong with these bates out morons! I understand there point but when you put your point across in a rational way they cannot look at the evidence they look at whatever twisted lie they have read on 1 website! I'm sure Chelsea won't hate him now he left them in the hands of Abramovic

Agree1 Disagree1

I think it will be a hard game against leister iam not getting my hopes up yet but we might go on a good run soon

Believable9 Unbelievable6

Yes mate it will be hard especially seeing as our record against them is s***. However we must be due a win against them and a win on a Tuesday. It has to happen sometime. JD

After derby game it showed Leeds goals, and both pundits said that Warnock said we will not be spending real money in jan mainly loans. Back in the summer Warnock said he twice was getting ready to spend big. I wonder if lust (ps I can't stand g cooper media hore) were telling the truth and there was a consortia with more money who bates turns down as he would have been out. I guess we will no in jan, but I get the fealing the 8 million quoted in papers and on Fan sites was just guess work hope not . I also listend to kens weekly staged interview and he said we turnd down a prem player cos he was 34 and his club wanted a full time deal in jan he said he spoke to ghf money man and he agreed the lad was on too much money considering his age, I think the player in question was Clint hill.

Believable7 Unbelievable1

I think what they said about only loan players was bull!
U wouldn't buy a club say u want prem then say "only loans people " it's all bull
+warnock and gfh said in January funds will be made available. And I hear warnock will get a pick of the transfer.
They're wrong. In almost sure

Agree4 Disagree0

Please someone say something that makes this not make sense!

Agree1 Disagree1

Clint Hill back in QPR team now Hughes has gone and had good game against the scum. Maybe 'Arry will have seen enough to make him stay at Loftus Road though I do agree would be a good acquisition to a Championship side

Agree2 Disagree0

I think 8mil is a lie yeah, however feel 3/4mil is reasonable, and closer to what we will be given.
RyanMOT

Agree1 Disagree4

25 Nov 2012 16:33:43
i would expect us to sign players on permanent deals in jan but probably around the £1 mil mark each .i cant see us bringing in many players on loan as im pretty sure warnock doesn't like loaning players unless it the only option . diouf is still needing a deal so hope he gets signed up before hes snatched away

Agree3 Disagree0

Just enjoy the ride , don't listen to what 'pundits' say, and if you dont know yet that warnock is great at playing things down then you never will

Agree3 Disagree0

Actually Warnock did not say that, it was Peter Beagrie trying to read between the lines after Warnock talked about the loans and then added he'd like another 2 or 3 in January. No mention that those 2 or 3 would be loans.

Agree3 Disagree0

I think the £8m (if true) is not just simply for transfer fee's, it'll be for additional wages too. signing EHD on a proper contract for example will take some of that budget, if we keep Tait & Thomas will take more. I can't see much big spending in Jan however it'll be nice to know if someone is available who Warnock wants, he can go after him.

I personally don't expect to see loads of big signings until the summer

Agree0 Disagree4

Why oh why would we be waiting until the summer? There's absolutely no point in that at all. Our squad still has nowhere near enough depth.

Obviously nobody at Leeds is going to shout too loudly from the rooftops about how much money we will be spending in January, or other clubs will just inflate their prices for our targets.

I fully expect 3 or 4 quality signings in January to give us a real chance of going for it this season.

Agree2 Disagree0

Well no ones going to brag that we've got millions so prices will be inflated. JD

Agree0 Disagree0

over the moon and buzzing folks dunno bout you lot!
irish leeds fan!

25 Nov 2012 10:13:23
There are genuine fans who cannot afford to go to the game. I TOTALLY accept that. There are some who use Bates as a excuse!

Now that he has gone get back to ER and support your team.

We need you all now to get behind the lads.... no excuse now

where has bates gone he the chairman and presidenta last time i looked

Agree4 Disagree4

Bates was only tight with his cash because it was his cash. hes now got someone elses money to spend so time for fans to drop the bates excuse hes not gonna have much say in what warnock gets to spend i just think that bates will be showing haigh how to run a football club .

Agree4 Disagree0

His titles mean nothing, he has no influence over the team or the finances, he has 0% of leeds utd, he is there only to help the new owners

Agree4 Disagree3

As I see it,once the takeover is done,Bates will only be president with very little or no financial gain,or influence,if he despised Leeds United as some on here would have you believe,surely he would walk away,,if his mere presence still offends all these stay away fans,the solution is simple,stay the f-uck away and "support" someone else.
