Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

What the hell have gfh been doing since the takeover in terms of investment. I mean we've been hearing this all season, we need investors blah blah blah. Who the hell is in charge of getting investors in. It's like a broken record or just an excuse not to spend. God why can't Leeds get some decent investors, surely we are worth investing in. If we all won the lottery tomorrow I know what I would be investing in.

Looking at the Tommy Rowe story, anybody else wonder why they seem to be speaking to Bates about this potential transfer (or lack of it). This observation by Barry fry stating that he met Bates ( and harvey) at a chairmans conference and nothing has been mentioned about TR is interesting. Furthermore it confirms my suspicions that KB seems to retain a significant of influence at Leeds, this in spite of his non exec [honorary?!] chairman role.
de ja vu anyone?

Bates is chairman until Monday. He'll scupper any deal until then

I might be on a hiding to nothing but here goes. I don't care if we spend millions this summer or we spend nowt, I just enjoy watchin Leeds & not knowin from one game to the next wots going to happen. Obviously I'd love us to be successful but if we aren't, so wot! We've been thru some terrible times in the past & managed to have a laugh & enjoy ourselves. I think we'll do ok with BMcD in charge & but if we don't I'm sure I'll live!

gfh will give Brian mcdermott 15m to spend when bates has stepped down to president.

transfer to be happening in the early stages of July

Leeds rule

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Is that 15minutes?

Agree0 Disagree0

No way they will.
the only way this would happen is if we sold Lees, Byram and White

Agree0 Disagree0

Can you tell me what planet you are on mate, I haven't sorted out my summer holidays yet and it sounds great.

Salah Nooridden claims brian is being backed

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yes, but his words tell me otherwise. I have actually kept faith in GFH´s funds. But after statement today I´m worried. Seems like lots of posters here were right - (nearly) no money. !

Agree0 Disagree0

The statement says will brian be backed? Yes. Will players be bought? Yes.
Why the hell are you worried?!

Agree0 Disagree0

If they've got no money then why are they making training pitch bigger and putting drainage in I'm sure that costs no money or is that free?

Must have a bit of cash then!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

They've got money, some people think we should spend it like man city though. It's going to take time to build a squad. Look at the champions league season. It was built on youth with a couple of experienced heads.

Agree0 Disagree0

Probably where the little bit of transfer funds have gone.

Agree0 Disagree0

This won't actually cost too much, probably no more than £70-100K and has probably been paid for by money from last years infostructure budget. Still doesn't mean we have any cash to spend on players

Agree0 Disagree0

read mr nooruddings (our vice chairman) q & a session on the os is he a politician because I don't think he answers the questions posed to him just skirts around and just gives a balanced opinion (not answer)s for the questiones asked just to try
keep supporters on board.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

We know from the Q& A that we have very little money yet again, this is bates through and through, no doubt about it, same story same transfer policy, same people in the same jobs ie harvey and williams, more work to be done on stuff we don't own ie TA, come on guys wake up this is BATES,

Agree0 Disagree0

Easy questions, no follow up questions, no challenge - read it quickly but was there any real reference to the diehard support?

Agree0 Disagree0

What do you mean he doesn't answer the questions?
Will Brian be backed? Yes.
Will players be bought before 31 Aug? Yes.
What on Earth have you been reading? Will the doom and gloom merchants please clear off

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2013 18:44:24
Why don't the board just be honest with us and say we don't have any money for transfers rather than all this poo about investors and backing BM

How can you back BM with no money?

Lies and more lies no wonder Bates was waiting for these jokers

We have no money nearly went into administration last week there are deals but no funds. Same old story full of promises but never deliver. Heard this from an agent of one of the deals. Everything is agreed but we are skint BIG TIME.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Nearly went into admin last week? would have been font page of the daily mail mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

More tripe. We are nowhere near administration

Agree0 Disagree0

" We are nowhere near administration"

What county is that in, then?

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2013 18:14:11
oh yes we have the money I told you we have money not so doom and gloom now

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Did we read the same comments? I saw we are working on a shoestring and will have to rely on youth, which bit did I miss, I thought Kb had written the answers

Agree0 Disagree0

You missed the bit where it said Will Brian be backed and Will players be bought. The answer to both questions was Yes!

Agree0 Disagree0

Care to reassess now BMD has confirmed we don't have the proverbial pot to. Hate to say I told you so

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2013 17:53:18
Next week transfer window opens massive week for new owners. Something everyone seems to be forgetting as of late is what BMD said about a month ago. That we lodged bids for 4 players. Clearly, one of those was accepted and a deal done in Smith. That leaves 3 bids as yet we do not know the status of them. The point is this. Why would a meeting be necessary last week to discover if the funds are there? Are Leeds bidding on players they don't know if they can afford? Meeting then bids, surely not bids then a meeting? Is BMD having to do things via a back door? Either way, litmus test for new board coming up next week. No-one decent in by 8th July I am expecting a big fan backlash and possibly BMD to walk.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

" I am expecting a big fan backlash and possibly BMD to walk"

Happy little soul, aren't you?

You sure you are supporting the right 'United' here?

Be nice if you did a walk - a very long one at that?

It is me or is everyone getting fed up with Leeds fans mentioning players and then sayin a million should get them! what planet are these people on because leeds ant got a 10 grand to spend on a player nevermind a million! According to these people lees will be signing a least 6 players on 1st July if they sign 2 players on the 1st July ill run down Wesley street naked! It's not happening come to terms with the fact that we will be fighting relegation next season

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Such a negative person get a grip will you season ain't even started and your moaning you should excited that we going forward with a decent manager this time even if we had the exact same team as before we would be amongst the top teams so stop your whining and man the f*ck up ANT MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

There's a very fine line between being negative and being a realist when you support Leeds. I'm amazed there is anyone left with rose tinted glasses how many deja vu's can anyone take?

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2013 17:07:54
i don't no about my fellow lufc fans but brian mac says he has players in place who want to come to leeds he says the players have been lined up but unless gfh pull there finger out we will lose out on these players its so frustrating if they have no money then just say so if they were to release a statement and just say funds are in place we can all sleep a bit easier in our beds at night oh to be a leeds fan

GFH have no money we will only be signing for free or loans we are no better off than we have been for last 10 years we are just a jinxed club heading for the wilderness of football!

Well guys I going to first few games of this season and to be honest i'n not filled with great expectations on signings. I think we have to be realistic yet again we won't see big bucks spend but we may see a lot of players go in order to bring some in. Only players we have really worth anything are Byram, McCormack and Lees other than that we don't have many players to generate cash. So i'm not expecting much lots of frees and loans as per anyone thinking we can spend more than £1m a one player dream on. CC

Roll on july so we can see if gfh have or haven't got dosh

All the players Bmd lined up have now got fed up being messed around. Many a true word has been spoken. Come on Leeds, pull your finger out.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

How the hell do you know what players he's got lined up, your only going on press speculation, wait and see before gobbing off, he may suprise us yet.

Agree0 Disagree0

It was supposed to be sarcastic mate in light of the situation we always seem to find ourselves in every transfer window. I'm fed up was just imagining how the players BMd has spoken about being in place being fed up too. Chill

Agree0 Disagree0

Ricardo Vaz te is for sale now west ham have signed andy Carroll. i'd say 1m would get him this would show abit of ambition from gfh if we pulled this one off.

look I know its early days but have we any money to spend?. I mean if bmd wants noel hunt he's a free agent, why hasn't it been tied up. wages?
i just hope bmd gets support in what he wants to do.
we don't want to come to 3rd week of july with only a couple in and then some big team comes for byram last minute and we are stuck again like last season.
lets not mess up again. shrew leeds

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Who says Brian wants Noel, its just the usual gossip as he used to be his manager at reading and he was at his wedding.

But let's be honest, does he at all fit BMD's description of players he wants 'Under 24 young and hungry' etc. Just newspapers creating news rather than discovering some real news.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why spend wages when it is the holiday season - so. 1. One training begins the players will arrive - 2. once Bates leaves the players will arrive - 3. Once the market is formally OPEN the players will arrive ; All the work has been done behind the scenes.

Agree0 Disagree0

Training starts tomorrow, Window opens Monday and Bates becomes president same day. GFH have no money and that's not likely to change by then unless Byram goes for silly money or we find our own Abramovich

Agree0 Disagree0

We have no money, GFH clearly stated that there looking investors as they don't have the money to fund trasnfers

Agree0 Disagree0

My feeling is still that monday is when it will all begin - most of the deals sound to me like they are set up and many are wages only - frees etc so no big bucks required. Bates would receive a % of any sales prior to monday also- so once again wait til he's gone off the financial books and then see the movement and deals go out and come in.

Agree0 Disagree0

Was this meant to go to the leeds united board because the only thing people know on here is how to speculate?

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2013 09:14:43
Leeds United have announced a new sponsorship arrangement with Flannels, apparently they will be supplying the Leeds Board as they give lots to the Leeds supporters!

I thought we had enough 'Flannel' coming out of the boardroom lol

Why does Huddersfield seam to be more ambitious at signing players than us?.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Just to annoy people like you. why not wait and see who we buy/sign before making ridiculous statements?!

Agree0 Disagree0

Because ken Bates is not involved there.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's not a stupid statement pal. And yes let's see who we buy, sorry freebie. In fact when was the last time we bought a quality player. Sick of know it alls like you.

My mate Conor Newton just signed a new deal at Newcastle United, he was on loan at St Mirren and had an impressive spell there from January, he's 21 years old and newcastle looking to loan him out for the season, due to my experience playing with him I know he's good, type his name into youtube youl see what he's capable of. UDDERSfield, bolton, birmingham all intrested surely worth a punt? beleivalbe-yes unbeleivable-no ?

People I think we might get in the summe
Hunt- yes I think we will get him on a free sometime soon

Rowe- no as fry laughed at the offer we gave them which is an also even worrying matter as we might not have any money

Wabara- I think this could be a singning but I wouldn't get to overly confident about him

Mills- maybe just a roumour but would be a good signing

Stokes- iwould definitley get him he has a fantastic record for celtic

Comment other signings possible, which you have heard from a reliable source

According to Fry we haven't made an offer for Rowe, having said that Fry is just a mouth on a stick. or to put it another way a bit of a Ken!

Agree0 Disagree0

With rowe I think when a player says he wants to go to another club, which fry said of rowe, then it normally appens.
fry just wants to up the price and see if he can start an auction by announcing it to the press.
i expect rowe will come if gfh say cough up 500 to 600k, not a million as fry says. shrew leeds

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Jun 2013 12:14:43
Only Barry Fry couls laugh at an offer we haven't made!

Just seen on the OS that we have signed that chap 'Flannels'. Should help us tidy up our act and keep a good shape. He won't be coming just to 'trouser' the money, absolutely not, he'll wear his heart on his 'sleeve'. Should be a 'shoe' in for the first team is he pulls his 'socks' up and will definitely feature in our first FA cup 'tie'
