Trouble is mate KB is not doing his job, keeps promising players " by the end of the week" we need more players. if we get any injurys or bans we would be too light. what if another striker pick up an injury. we NEED more depth.

I've heard it from a good source that Alan Smith will be wearing the white of Leeds tomorrow. Also Bates said he's talking to a experienced midfielder who can also play up front? Signed before the end of the weekend? See if the fams will boo him then

How can it be Smith then if he can play up front?, hes a very poor record as a striker, enough of this Smith rubbish, as hes said, hes never had any thoughts of playing for Leeds again, let him stay in Newcastle reserves and pick the big bucks up, let it be.

Look alot of people are not getting behind the team and I can see why but people shouldnt be making judgements yet its still pre season we should be concerned if we are near the bottom by Christmas but I don't think we will be our team is just as good if not better than last season and we managed 2nd 2 more signings and we are sorted for promotion challenging we should back our team

Its not the players or SG the fans will always get behind the side 100% come the start of the season, its bates he should put his money where his mouth is, i hope this whole ownership thing comes back to bite him on the ass because something is dodgy about it.

Why do you think Martin oneil is good in the transfer Market? In fact he is quite poor he spent over £150 million at villa and only about 2 players (young and downing) were worth there money. Nigel reo cocker is a good player oneil signed him for £8 million and never played him. Martin oneil is not that good in the transfer Market. The reason he left villa is because learner would not give oneil any money to spend so he would not work with bates

O'Neill is only a perhaps... But to defend him in a way. He was always better when he had a smaller budget. What he achieved a Leicester for instance. He makes average player better and good player very good Where we are at the moment thats exactly what Bates would be looking for. I like Grayson... But most of the best players we had last season were ones Gary Mac brought to the club. So if I had to choose between the two it would be O'Neill every time.
Agree0

True and I agree with you and I wish bates had more patience with Garry mac but I think people need to get behind the team an support SGs decisions and not talk about replacing him at the first hurdle
Agree0

More patience with Gary Mac - god bless him he was a good player but he was a WOEFUL manager

Not so much a rumour, more a conspiracy theory. Master Bates isn't giving Mr. Grayson any funds because he's lost faith in his ability in the transfer market and doesn't believe he can take us much further. So he chokes his transfer activity the team fail to deliver and he's replace with a 'better' manager with proven ability yet still within a budget(O'Neill perhaps?) with some cash in the bank to sign players. There is a year left before we have to pay back our creditors so Bates doesnt want to get promotion till this burdon ids lifted. Which is sound business sense. What do you think to that Ed?
Believable2

If you read the latest LUFC program, Ken clearly states that Simon is given a buget for transfers and wages. He also said any transfer money goes straight into the kitty.. (like from Kasper).. And I thought it was last year where we had to pay the creditors back. If I remember rightly, it was only 30p in the £ anyway..
Agree0
Disagree0
What bates say's and what Bates does are two very different animals. If Grayson had a budget like your believing he has, don't you think he'd use it? Of course he would... Just like O'Leary in a lot of way's, You spend what your given after all it's his job on the line if he doesn't succeed.

Leeds to sign before the Southampton game, 2 new players, one of which will be Lichaj on a season long loan and the other will be Jake livermore on a permanent deal
In my opinion these arent bad signinngs as fill the right back spot as well as the replacement for johnson, although Livermore is currently not to the standard of johnson i believe he can live up to fans expectations.
Believable1
Unbelievable3
I would have Lichaj back, Livermore you must be having a laugh, he was and is crap
Where is the quality that was promised
so personally i dont believe you
Agree0
Disagree0
I don't think we should judge Livermore by his performances last season. By all accounts he's a good prospect. He was thrown in at the deep and there was no way he was going to hit the floor running. Bannan also was treated poorly. He's an excellent player but he should have been signed up earlier. Poor transfer/loan policy again.

Not so much a rumour but I personally don't think we need too much adjustment in our squad now. I've seen highlights and listened to every pre-season friendly and I believe Brown and Clayton give that quality we lacked in the middle of the park last season. Brown's a ball winner and Clayton can swing a pass out. I think maybe 1 or 2 more defenders and we'll be good to go. We've got players who were out on loan or injured such as Kisnorbo, Parker, Lees, White.. We've got a good squad and hopefully Paynter and McCormack can create a partnership and bag a few goal. Plus we've got Nunez who for me has been our best player in pre-season. So let's get behind the boys, get behind the management team and sing for the boys in White... Or Black with yellow pin stripe..

I'm actually happy with the current squad however the fact that Becchio & Somma are both out worries me. Against Wednesday we had no outlet upfront as Paynter was extremely immobile, I'm worried that because of this, we'll struggle till Becchio is back & even then, will he be completely fit?
Believable2
Unbelievable2
Nunez at fit in the bill he will have a good season he has been scoring goals in preseason
Agree0
Disagree0
Yes Nunez has scored in pre season but there is still no outlet up top, he is too small to bring other into the play and we have been struggling to get a large amount of goals in pre-season due to this. Last season we often scored 3 or 4 in a game such as Forest, Bristol, Preston etc. Doesn't look like happening this season and with the same defence, it's a worry.

Everyone is saying how we need to sign lots of players and linking us with players that are simply out of our budget. Ken Bates has gave Larry a set budget to ensure we dont end up like we did when Ridsdale was in charge.

Maybe that's why Bates won't splash out for any quality players - he's had a few quid on it himself

Might be tempted to stick £50 on at 16-1 and would be very happy to lose it, at least if the worst happens it would take the edge off. In 44 years of supporting Leeds never felt less optimistic this close to seasons start
