Really think we should try and get Kilgallon back if possible. If fit he would be the best CB in the championship. And that's a fact! As usual wages would be the stumbling block but I think he'd love the chance to return to ER. Heres hoping!

Lets get real guys
loads of players want to come to Leeds, but the wages we pay won't make it worth their while, why would players drop £15k. ££10K for Leeds.
You can't bring in new players and pay them more than our best players of last season, it will upset the dressing room.
£15K per week max at ER, if they won't come for that then they aren't fit to wear the shirt.

Got a really horrible feeling that we are going to get a repeat of last years transfer window waiting, still waiting. thought we were going to be a little ambitious this year if we are waiting for the 1st to do business more than likely frees this is no good everyone around us is spending money is our board trying to make out that we are in a worse position than uddersfield or Ipswich cus they both spent more than us and both had a better squads last season. Pls please this year can we show some ambition u need to gamble big if you want in the prem nuf said.

Nothing much will happen until players are back from holidays! obviously the players McD wants are still under contract.
Agree0

Dont be so negative, who is spending all this money you talk about? Its early doors yet, the majority of transfers happen near deadline because the greedy b******* have loyalty to no one but themselves, and wait for the best deal to be offered. that's how it is.
Agree0
Disagree0
If you want to gamble get ridsdale back . McD said there were 2 players training at Thorpe arch this week, that's more inpressive news than signing players just to appease impatient fans. we are still in may.
Agree0
Disagree0
Can I point out the only players we would be signing right now would be free transfers, as the transfer window is not even open yet.
Point being that perhaps your negativity is unfounded this year and perhaps the lack of perceived activity means that the club are looking to actually buy players this window and not rely on the free transfer marker.
Speculation in papers is just that often its made up by the media or the bookies. Just because you've heard Leeds are after a player doesn't mean it's true.

Trying not to be negative guys but seems excuses are being made already. Seems they just want to string us along like bates did. He has left a very bad atmos at Leeds for doing this to us seasons in season out. Allways felt new owners have a point to make to us Leeds fans after the years of abuse seems they are trying to worm there way out of saying anything concreat hope I'm soooo wrong but not hopeful atm.

Hull have released Jay Simpson. Worth a shout perhaps? Would cost NOTHING (gasp!) and with the right management McDermott might get him playing well again.

Why did Warnock get Norris on a 3 year contract he's cot another 2 years left and he's 32 now can't see him being in McDermott's plans
Believable0
Unbelievable0
Cause the man was clueless. Mot
Agree0
Disagree0
Warnock wanted him for 2 years but the only way Norris would join us is if we offered a 3 year contract. The theory was he could do a job for 2 seasons and his final year NW was prepared to take a hit.
Agree0
Disagree0
Not wanna defend warnock because i'm glad he's gone but shaun harvey deals with the contracts, why? i'm not sure because he is a waste of time and he was bate's right hand man so why is he still here I don't understand or think it's right. we seem to give longer contracts to older players for some reason in a lot of cases, so I think harvey should be gone.

Norris was still a steady player last season when he played

Not a rumour. Just my personal thoughts
Looking at the PFA website at all the free agents there are at the minute (and its not even June/July when most contracts come to an end) there are some big names who could make a big difference to our team and wouldn't cost any money (apart from wages obviously)
Kevin Davies (old but could do a job in Championship)
Carlton Cole (would be good in Championship)
Jerome Thomas (fast and skillful, could do well)
Ian Harte (would get 15 goals per season from set pieces)
Matt Killgallon (Could be worth a gamble)
Thomas Hitzelsperger (Experienced and can strike a ball)
Simeon Jackson (Good at Championship level)
Papa Bouba Diop (Man mountain, can command midfield)
Ross Turnbull (Quality keeper)
Stephen McPhail (old but could be an assett)
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (A gamble but could pay off)
Eric Lijah (Would play well at RB with Byram infront)
Titus Bramble (Can be dodgey but also pretty solid)
Darius Vassell (Old but knows where goal is)
A few of these with some quality money signings and we would look serious contenders for top 2 next season under B McD

Off that List only the following are worth while & then not all would be starters:
Jerome Thomas (Starter Wing)
Simeon Jackson (Sub/backup ST)
Ross Turnbull (Back up GK)
Eric Lichaj (Starter RB)
The rest would represent really bad business & I would be very surprised if Leeds was interested in their services.

Agree with reply but maybe take a punt on carlton cole

Not sure about Jerome Thomas. Didn't do much after the first game with us. Although it may have just been that he was still WBA at heart and wasn't putting too much into his game. Either way not too good.

Looks like we could be having a new third kit guys!
Its still black. But it has a yellow stripe start on the right shoulder going out into a v-shape to come back in to the right hip. The material inside of the yellow V is green. Its mainly lycra, and has the typical keeps-you-warm-in-the-cold properties.
The pitch entry music is also changing to "I can see clearly now the rain has gone".
This is all subject to us signing Chris Humphrey and re-signing Jermaine Beckford, both of whom will, as Rodolph Austin has, be given a bobsleigh as their mode of transport!

Pitch entry choices lads
Simply the best?

I don't think 7 players are required personally I think we need;
Big 6'3+ and solid CB
2 Pacey Wingers
Playmaker CM
20 goals striker

The one about signing Titus Bramble. He could be a big cult hit. or the flop of the decade!
Agree0

This is bang on mate, although I'd personally like us to see three wingers so we have a bit of impact off the bench!
