We need a left back of quality to balance with byram. white can go for me. ross might have to be sacrificed as he is no tip of the diamond at the moment. pearce noris pugh tonge should all do the decen thing. perhaps in a pact

We've got one! Ex England left back Steve Warnock.

Add Peltier to that list to go. At fault for both goals Saturday. The defence is awful.

I do not think we need a LB. warnock is good enough for this level. Our priority is a LW with pace.
Our biggest need was a CM who can tackle and play and I saw more in Murphy that I have seen in anyone else for a few years. Dawson I think will be given a chance once he has recovered from his shoulder injury and played a few games with the U21s.
We also have Austin who I think will be the back of the diamond and we will use green for now.
Diouf when back will be RW and green backup for that too.
Strikers we have enough. Certainly I don't think bmcd sees it as priority otherwise he would not have got the two be has.
RB will be taken by bryam when fit. Peltier to stand in.
CB is the next priority after the LW for me. He has to be strong and have speed.

Sorry don't agree warnock is well capable in this position, we need and evrybody knows this is a commanding center half to bring lees on

Lets be honest here are defence has always been shocking if fans have only just realised that then I have one question for you where have you been hiding for all this time

Green & Byram down the right hand side of a diamond is a good combination, we just need a decent left winger with Austin the CDM & Murphy the CAM, McCormack & Smith up front? Add a CB and I'd be happy, a goalscoring striker and I'd be over the moon.

Hi Fellow Leeds Fans Around the World

So my contact at TA finally came through. He works in admin and says this time around things are very different at Leeds. Transfer targets are protected like with great deal of secrecy.

He says Leeds have the transfer budget but top management have a put a cap of wage budget. Which is spreading thin due to dead rubbers in the team. According to him only mild inquiries have been made for Paul Green & Aidy White. but he thinks BMD has them in his plan to capture glory. BMD on the other hand is ready to listen offers for other players like Ryan Hall, Tonge and Norris.

According to him, regarding transfer targets - he heard distinctively that a defender from Manchester City may be on his way. but he may be a back up as he has heard BMD saying many times that he wants a out and out Central defender who is strong and can control the play from back.

my friend also speculated that a former Valencia winger may be a target as he is a free agent. (I think it could be Vicente) He overheard this conversation.

And finally, my friend feels there will be no more transfers up forward as BMD feels he has his top 6. Diouf, Varney, Hunt, McCormack, Poleon and Smith.

What do you think guys?

interesting specualtion - but clearly that top 6 forward line isn't good enough - and we need a pacey forward on both right and left side ; agree we need a centre half who can play it on the deck. and agree that dead rubber as you call it has to go first - as is the way with all business - give it time and we will improve and sign more players if they are right for LUFC. No more panic buying or buying players unfit out of contract mates Warnock style!? like Webber Norris and co - and the African donkey - terrible impulse bargain basement management

I think it could be you my friend ha

I think, register and put your name to your theory so we know who is writing this guff. Or of course praise you if you're right. MOT

Bates reckons he was saving the club money by agreeing a contract to fly him back and forth to Monaco using a private jet over a three year period, well you fat cheeky b4st4rd Bates why not move to Leeds, oh forgot you won't pay tax that's why you live abroad. Why should the club pay for your travel, once again you are trying to rid the club of money as you have done all along during your stay. Listen to the fans! you are detested by the majority, if you want to get on by back I will carry you back to Monaco via a couple of dodgy cliff top ledges. Sue me? {Ed001's Note - here is a good link to read some of the stuff Bates has done previously, just in case anyone thinks he was actually a decent chap who saved Leeds: http://www.thesquareball.net/2011/10/28/1968-ken-bates-noel-lloyd-and-the-fate-of-a-caribbean-island/ }

What a nerve that man has. What gives him the right to even expect expenses. He has done very well out of Leeds and also Chelsea. Greed is the ruination of society. GFH you have done a great service to this club. Now please invest real money in the club because the sooner Leeds get promoted the quicker you will recoup your investment James.

Also google bates Melvyn levi court case and look at the judges summing up.

Ken bates has just been on the radio maybe taking legal action, bound to put off investors, that's all we need right now.

Come on you Red Bulls

28 Jul 2013 07:22:38
Maybe Mcdermot is saying publicly he needs a one in one out system to say to other teams come and enquire about my players. We need to move some on Norris, Pugh, White, Hall, and McCormack Peltier even Byram for the right price,

We need the killer 20 striker, Lefondre, Sharpe,
Cd Mills Gorks
Winger Mackay Stevens,

Another quality midfielder. Dorrans

No more signings. one or two will come in b4 transfer deadline day when new sponsorship deal completed. Time to get behind the mighty leeds.

So one or two more signings then?

No more signings you say then you say 1 or 2 will sign before deadline day. what utter drivel you talk

I have little doubt that our current squad are more than capable of getting us out of the Championship but I wasn't keen on League 1 last time so I hope GFH find a bit more cash stuffed down the back of the sofa. Before everyone starts with support the lads or go forth, I have supported Leeds for 46 years and always will, just telling it how I see it

Original poster- I like your style. Whilst I don't think the current squad will leave us anywhere relegation I don't think we will achieve play offs either. I agree entirely with your point re people criticising any realistic assessments or points of view that are not blindly optimistic. Often gets construed as " your not a real fan". It's like the thought police! After all, it's a game of opinions.
