If you was a manager who would you buy and how muck with 4millon

A hotel and a museum!!

The whole 4 mill on adam lallana i would ...but haha thats wishful thinking mate

Paul Robinson - 4 million (when Blackburn are relegated as he plays excellent, it's the rest of the team thats crap)

Alan Smith - Free - Good back up better than Brown

Swap cheeky swap for Stephen McPhail with O'Brien and Paynter

and a loan of Kilgallon

Kane Ferdinand £500,000 Southend
Michael Jacobs £250,000 Northampton Town
Danny Pugh £500,000
Andy Keogh £250,000
Eric Lichaj £1,000,000

Why are people still living in the past? Should we also bring back Lorimer, Clarke and the Gray brothers? Maybe they could still do a job?

And 4 million for a keeper? We've spent 200k all year, with 500k committed for the option on Pugh. You really think we should spend 6 times our season's budget to date on any keeper, let alone one who's not even as good as Lonergan? Have you been 'pass the brain cell' again and lost?

Agree with two posts up, fantastic shout

Invest in the youth system

Hello Leeds fans I am a Nottingham Forest fan, but have come on your page to show we are not all morons..you walloped us on Tuesday and could easily have had more than 4...we are a team in trouble who made the mistake of getting rid of Billy Davies. your win was a fitting tribute to Gary Speed a true gentleman...Well done

Nice to see honesty and integrity and a warm thank you.

Always thought of Davies as being a bit irritating but he did a good job for you guys. Was a bit surprised when he was sacked.

I can see why Billy could appear irritating, however he knows his stuff. From fighting relegation one season under Calderwood, we suddenly finished 3rd & 6th the following two seasons. All he was asking for was for a couple more players to make that final push but he just wasn't backed. We then appointed McClaren who despite his England fiasco is a well respected and proven coach and didn't back him either. We now have a manager who has not acheived a lot and probably won't with us either. Think yourselves lucky you have a decent manager. Anyway enough of this, I'm going onto the Derby rumours page now to slag off the sheep lol

New centre back imminent:

Ken Bates will sign a 6 month deal with Leeds to address the centre back problem. Leeds manager Simon Grayson said:

' Ken's a handy centre back and reads the game well. He's also got a great leap for defending set pieces. He hasn't trained for a while so we are looking to get him match fit. He will feature in upcoming behind closed door friendlies at Thorpe Arch. Hopefully he will come into the first team picture around January. Loosing Alex Bruce and And the issues with Andy ( O'Brien) we are a bight light in that department and Ken can come straight into the team and make a difference. If he does well we will sit down and look at agreeing something for the longer term. The good thing is he's hungry and wants to prove himself as a centre half'.

Some fans have expressed a concern at Bates' lack of pace and the resort to yet another free transfer. Time will tell if it's the right decision.

If he's as tight in defence as he is with his wallet i think this would be a great signing.

Who is the cb

Im sorry to say that Mr Ken Bates is unavailable untill January due to Santa Clause Commitments. I am his agent and I am looking for the same money as Andy O Brian but I want a clause in my contract stating that if West Ham come in for me then I will never play again for Leeds!

rumours coming out of leeds are that in jan there is a chance of 2 south american players coming in initially on loan but with a view to perm depending on how they/leeds do not expensive players but they have dual nationalities therefore dont require work permits! 1 of them is to be believed to be gaston fernandez an argentine striker/attacking midfielder, the other as yet not known.ive just heard that the other is cristian pellerano a defensive midfielder again an argentine but also has italian nationality too!


Ok. Got the latest news on this rumour, the argentine and brazillian season is almost at end for a month or so then they have a summer championship thing going on. The names in the above paragraph maybe a little out of the league for leeds in price unless we can get a loan move, but there is definitely substance in the fact of some south americans coming in on trial (bates's agent friend).
So expect some trialists to be playing in the upcoming reserves fixtures as leeds now only play friendlies and not in the reserve league.The stories that are coming out, are that unlike the last 2 lots of trialists who were mainly youngsters, this group are meant to be mainly aged 22-28 and all with a chance of getting an E.U passport.So basically these are recognised players in their respective league but have probably no international appearances.

R.I.P Gary Speed.

Tommo

The mate of ken bates your talking about is the former Newcastle defender marchelino who is now a scout and agent and who recommended luciano becchio to Leeds just by coincidence not disregarding your rumour both these players play for estuindantes who are having an average season over in brazil and gaston Fernandez has been hit with a 4 month ban for walking out on the Mexican tigres this has not started yet so don't think that one will come off but it's right too say we are looking at the south American Market more as a club we were close to signing santiargo silva from uruguay last winter transfer window
