Ed is there a definitely a new home kit out this season? If so how do u know coz they usually bring it out before the season ends. {Ed015's Note - Yes there is, wish it would bloody hurry up aswell! and no idea when its out, during pre-season im guessing.... rather unusual for leeds}

Believable1 Unbelievable0

As mentioned by someone else, perhaps its got delayed to show off a couple of new signings, I dont know? No reason has been given thus far so we'll have to sit tight..

Agree0 Disagree0

It has NOTHING to do with new signings.
A reason has been given a delay in the sponsorship.

Agree0 Disagree0

All the top championship and league 1 players signing for Leicester, Leicester to win league, Leeds to finish mid table at best. Come on Bates get some cash spent

Believable0 Unbelievable5

Means nothing how much people may be spending or how ambitious they may appear. This time last year Middlesbrough were everyone's favourites to go up, including mine, and look what happened to them. Keep the faith.

Cardiff bought their promotion didnt they?

Now that they've got Mignolet and Westwood, Leeds should sign Craig Gordon from Sunderland

Believable4 Unbelievable1

I also thought about Craig Gordon, but think hes injury prone
Grayson trying to get either Kirkland or Thomas kuszak

Agree0 Disagree0

Trying to sign Kirkland because Craig Gordon is injury prone - was your tongue firmly in your cheek when you posted that ?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2011 20:44:28
If gradual did go I think nunez could maybe step into his shoes?

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Gradual? Are they sneaking him out a bit at a time? ;O)

Agree4 Disagree0

Gradel's going nowhere but Nunez will be excellent back-up for Howson this season.

Agree4 Disagree0

I come from bedale where Simons family come from, according to family member he has got all his signings sorted and one will blow your socks off, also said he does not give a monkeys what the doubters say he just wants to prove them wrong.

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Doubters what a lame word that is.

Agree0 Disagree0

Graysons attitude isnt anything like that with the fans, do you know anything about him?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed: I luv this site, keeps football nuts sane in the off season. Question though, you might need to get your tech guys on this one I use I-phone only, the agree/ disagree, believable/ un-believable buttons dont work. Do any other i-phone users have the same issue (and for the purest, this affects the true figures I mean here are a few of us with I-phone MOT {Ed015's Note - I will email the boss with your question now}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

I use iPhone and yes sometimes it works (the agree/disagree button) sometimes it doesn't {Ed001's Note - we are looking into that, unfortunately it is not possible to make the buttons work on every phone.}

Agree0 Disagree0

No prob ed as I say most of the time it works but the main thing is we're able to post replies {Ed015's Note - just doing my job.... can only do so much}

Agree0 Disagree0

I use my iPhone for this website too, I have to say the button thing doesn't really bother me, the site helps stave off boredom and kind of helps to keep afloat with the footie, you editors are quality {Ed015's Note - never noticed Ed001 replied to your post lol... shows how organised we are ;) haha should be sorted within a week or 2, no promises tho}

Agree1 Disagree0

Cheers Ed015 :) the effort is appreciated

kasper as completed his move to leicester, signed a three year deal

source: official Leeds united website

Who does everyone reckon we should buy for our number one???

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Fraser forster would be a great sighning hes big and had a great sewason at celtic last year and is way better than smeichel only problem though is that he would cost 2 million and bates doesnt like spending money

Agree2 Disagree0

leeds to sign nobodys and freebies = BATES OUT NOW

27 Jun 2011 16:00:19
Leeds to sign anyone half decent and stop trying to sell players we won't be able to replace?

Source: My wishes.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

So we can't replace Schmeichel then? Utter bollox.

Agree1 Disagree0

With someone of better quality....time can only tell. So how is that utter bollocks?

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2011 12:05:38
Everybody needs to stop with their crap sources 'my brothers best friends dad works at a chip shop over the road from Elland road and he says...' or 'my sisters boyfriends dad works at thorpe arch and he says...' it rubbish, nobody knows who Leeds will sign because they keep it all under wraps Grayson isnt going to tell an Elland Road security man the full list of transfers is he its utter rubbish, we all need to be patient, Grayson has said himself that there will be significant movement with the transfers this week, who knows, one of them may be unveiling the new Leeds United kit today... Ed015 you must be getting fed up of all the rumours by now surely?

D

Believable6 Unbelievable1

It's called 'Leeds Rumours' for a reason mate, have a good think about it and get off your high horse while you're doing it. Best entertainment on the net I reckon, carry on boys MOT {Ed015's Note - i never get fed up either.... rumours are intresting... only thing that really annoy's me and many on here is the amount of people with little faith in Grayson}

Agree3 Disagree1

Nice one ed

Agree1 Disagree1

Completely agree Ed, people have short memories of where we were a few seasons ago. Give Grayson & Bates a chance and I don't mean a few weeks by that more like a couple more seasons. Steady progress not boom and bust, we've been down that road before and look where it got us MOT

Agree2 Disagree0

Ed I've never had faith in grayson-love Leeds, but honestly hate dull grayson and our players who bottle it every Jan. Much prefer the early 80s with players who cared. A third of Leeds fans want grayson out. Another season of bottling and he's gone

Agree1 Disagree1

I can understand the OP, Im sure they aren't criticising the entire site because thats what we come on here for, but the proper ridiculous unrealistic ones that are as blantant as day are really really pointless.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2011 15:54:40
Leeds should buy Tobias Sippel or Oliver Baumann for goal. Two fantastic young goalkeepers

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Agree, but problem is both would cost £2m plus

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2011 15:48:04
Leeds united have messed up in the whole transfer market bates doesnt want to splash the cash and SG has no eye for real talent if letting kasper go wasnt a big enough mistake Leeds united just dont want to buy players all loan ins this season now yes better getting a player on loan to see how they do but we seem to get poor loan ins and pointless like barry bannan and livermore last season we need a new back 4 but keep paddy and parker and a top goal scorer like long from reading and even someone like vela from arsenal

Believable3 Unbelievable3

The stinker is loans cost money too, so we may as well buy a flop instead of loan. at least there's a way to get our money back if they are turd

Agree1 Disagree1

Parker's rubbish.

Leeds target Neil Danns joins Leicester BBC sport
Another 1 who thinks of his pocket more than ambition
Keith LUFC

Believable4 Unbelievable4

27 Jun 2011 12:36:49
Danns signs for guess who... Leicester. gotta love financial fair play. let's hope for another miracle next year then.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Financial fairplay doesn't start for another 2-3 years mate. but when it does it will benefit teams like leeds. garyd MOT

Agree1 Disagree0

Just enough time for Leicester to be up, down and in administration then.

Agree3 Disagree0

27 Jun 2011 12:15:58
I don't usually say a bad word against my beloved Leeds but something needs to be said, I hope we do get alan smith but we won't, I hope we get lee bowyer but we won't, how many players do Leeds get linked with who u really want? And how many actually sign? NONE, the fact is we have a wage cap structure at the club and having gone thru two administrations and £100m in debt who can blame them?
People are getting too greedy too quickly, be patient, I believe Leeds will be signing prem players on loan but to do this we have to wait for prem clubs to top up ther squads and we get the scraps
. Leeds won't pay £2m for a player of give out £25k a week but we have done well with that system so far, Hull and Cardiff have overpaid players for last 3 years and now they are struggling financially, sure if Leeds get to prem that will have to change but let's not go all in too quickly,
give grayson a chance.

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Naff of with this Alan Smith obsession, or any of our ex player for that matter We need to move FORWARD for the sake of Leeds united Didnt any of you learn from Risdales era?

Agree1 Disagree1

We'll we certainly dont want any you've mentioned mate. :D

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2011 11:43:26
owen hargreaves is without a club and willing to take a pay as you play contract.
Hes exactly what we need and it will be close to his home in manchester.
Having him on pay as you play means we have nothing to lose.
thoughts? MOT come on sg

Believable0 Unbelievable5

HMMMM tough one hes another woodgate type who's been dogged by injuries but in his time he was a great player. Suppose it'd be hypocritical for me to want Smith back but turn Hargreaves down. LOL.

Agree2 Disagree1

Knees have literally gone. no thanks

Agree1 Disagree0

Yes it would Hmmmm, again Smith is crocked. Is it always the same poster that posts on here every minute of the day about Smith, tell me how many other players are out there They would do a much better job on much lower wages. Stop living in the past.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Jun 2011 08:05:43
Leeds supposedly tracking David nugent still early days but sg wants a proven championship goalscorer. Don't know if this is true but would be brilliant if it came together


Correct me if im wrong but didnt becchio, somma, howson and gradel show that they are all proven championship goalscorers We dont need goalscorers We need defenders

Believable8 Unbelievable1

SG has already confirmed he is looking to bolster the defence and midfield, not the strike force.

Agree3 Disagree0

27 Jun 2011 11:32:49
Due to fans dissatifaction with Simon Graysons late season slumps and poor signings, despite being able to choose from most free agents available, he is to be replaced by Mickey Mouse who will be bringing in Ken Dodd as assistant manager.

Believable5 Unbelievable0

27 Jun 2011 11:15:03
so to summarize, Gradel to West Ham, Snoddy can go if the price is right, Kilkenny & Johnson both gone and bid accepted for Schmeichel, no left back, only 1 goalkeeper and one centre midfielder

the good times are coming back

Believable1 Unbelievable7

JOHNSON HAS GONE NOWHERE YET???

Agree7 Disagree1

So we cant replace them ? person

Agree0 Disagree0

To summarise then (and please note the spelling) Gradel and Snodgrass are going nowhere, we're going to sign better than Kilkenny, Johnson and Schmeichel and you're a plank.

Agree7 Disagree0

Agree to that bar Schmeichel, only way we'll sign a better keeper is if we break our wage structure

Agree0 Disagree1

You can spell summarize both ways, i didnt say they were going just that West ham have Bid for Gradel and Grayson has said that Snodgrass can go if the prize is right. both are true google it. nothing i put was wrong

Agree0 Disagree2

No a 'Z' is an american use, unless your american of course then your right.

Agree2 Disagree0

West Ham are interested in Gradel - so what? He wants to stay, we want to keep him. Grayson said anyone has their price (again note the spelling, you're too keen on your "z"'s) but Leeds want £8 million for Snodgrass which nobody will pay. Therefore neither will leave. Simples mate.

Agree1 Disagree0

Summarize, summarise [ s m ra z]
vb
(tr) to make or be a summary of; express concisely,

From Gradels latest interview

Gradel was then asked if there was a particular league or team that he wanted to play for

Gradel: "Not really I want to play in a strong league with a team who can help me progress and be in the national team."

Agree0 Disagree2

So to correct ur summarisation we do have LBs (not good enough ill agree) and we have enough CMs in our squad already; howson and clayton

Agree0 Disagree1

leeds new kit???????/

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Waiting for sponsor as said before last week, kit wil be out in 2 3 weeks time

Agree1 Disagree0

Leeds are not waiting for a sponser. Net Flights have another year

Agree0 Disagree0

Chances are the new kit will be released the same day as the newcastle friendly to get people at the game. Uncle Ken knows what he is doing

Agree2 Disagree0

Agreed about the Newcastle game, its just a PR ploy to shift more shirts.
How long do we have to wait for everything at Leeds, Im predicting a slow start to the season, everythings being left to late.

Agree2 Disagree0
