Maybe but who is johnfits15?

Agree0 Disagree0

A while ago he was the man who knew every player. Their family and everywhere they went he went too. He was our greatest source of information. Success rate of his rumours was a whopping 0% but was still loved and adored by many a man on here. Ed loved him more than anybody though lol {Ed001's Note - last I heard, him and ed013 were dating.}

think Thomas Rogne from celtic would be a quality signing at centre half. free as well

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Agree! And should have signed him before the euro under-21, cause interest may well grow from other clubs!

If you are not a top 1-6 team in prem or any league, supporters can go years and decades without anything to really celebrate. Its hard putting up with failure year after year.
I just watched One night in turin. Which for you youngsters was englands italia 90. Saw us hammer germany for 120 minutes and lose. Saw. Gazza. Robson. Lineker. Waddle. Pearson etc etc. remembered matteius console waddle for 30 seconds before he celebrated. Rememvered every kick and facial expression of that night. Goosebumps. Remembered. The heat is on and the pavrotti anthems. More goosebumps
I think us leeds fans are due our time again. Promotion and more nights in turin please.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Whos Pearson? And what the f**k has 1990 Turin got to do with ER now. I can't see the relavance remote or otherwise! Maybe if we get to play off final next year then the semi 1990 final might be compared to Leeds but for now let's just hope that we get in 4 good players that we need and leave the drama for Sky Atlantic! MOT.

Almunia on a free.

Worth a punt, we're bigger then Watford and he is a player with bags of experience and used to the weight of expectation that comes from playing for big clubs.

Me maybe a fallen giant but we still need players who can handle the big occasions.

OK so here you have it. Exclusively the list of 7 players BMD gave to the board that he wants to sign. FACT

Ins:
Stephen Hunt
Matt Mills
Adam Le Fondre
Noel Hunt
Kevin Doyle
Titus Bramble
Chris Humphrey

An EXCLUSIVE for you guys, all these are FACTS and IMMINENT.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I hope not if this was true we won't get promotion next season.

we need a new GK.

Plus why would he want 3new strikers when we have 4 already

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey ED, this post was meant for the rumours page. NOT banter page. FACT. {Ed001's Note - oh well, if it is fact then it is not a rumour, so not for the rumours page is it? Though I fail to see a fact in there, as McDermott has no 7 player list, so it smells of something else to me.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Humphrey is off to Rangers?
and Bramble, bit of a risk at this level still, 10 OGs a season
Doyle doesn't score anywhere near enough for me

Agree0 Disagree0

Good guess mate. Reckon youll be close too. All in. Bye bye champ

Agree0 Disagree0

To 2nd post. Our strikers are crap tvats why

Agree0 Disagree0

FACT is in capitals so it must be true - jeez

Agree0 Disagree0

When they sign then its a fact, till then its speculation.

Agree0 Disagree0

ED while the original post is probably the usual made up nonsense we see on here there is a list of 6 or 7 tagets. BMD has stated that he handed it to the board in several interviews. do try to keep up ;) {Ed001's Note - whatever he said that is quite simply nonsense for those who are dumb enough to believe what is said in interviews.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed - It's standard practice in football for the manager to give a list of targets to the board. It does not mean we are going to sign those players, just that those are the players he would like to bring to the club.

BMD (or anyone else for that matter) making up a story about a list of targets would serve no purpose. You need to reign in the paranoia a little, there are enough doom mongers posting on here without the Eds joining their number {Ed001's Note - hardly a doom monger, just know that the lists they give have a lot more than 7 players on them. Only a complete fool would have just 7 players on their list, as they know they will probably not get their first choices. They might have 7 positions they want to buy for, and a list of options for each, but not 7 players. Nothing to do with paranoia, just how it is.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed - Fair point I take it all back! :)

Anyone else worried that BDM said he wanted deals done ASAP and I see other clubs have already made new signings for next season, but Leeds. nothing. {Ed013's Note - Don't worry, players are away on their holidays and Brian has only just started work again}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Who are these other clubs that have made all these fantastic signings, when transfer window not even open yet? only signings can be players released or out of contract. Even Man City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal havn't done any buisiness yet. BMD will be talking to Agents and trying to sort itv, so stop worrying. BATES HAS GONE.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rather wait and get the right players than sign dross
Mcd is destined I reckon. Calm professional and knows exactly what he wants
How great to have a human being as manager and not a braindead animal

Agree0 Disagree0

How can you say bates has gone when he is president for 3 years and even more dodgy is that harvey and williams are still doing the same jobs as before, that's the problem old capt birdseye is a lot more cunning than we give him credit for,

Agree0 Disagree0

Bates is not even allowed to write in the programme any more, or give interviews, so I don't think he has any influence over transfer policy. When did Lord Harewood ever choose our players? Its just a title so he can rightly or wrongly hold on to our shirt tails if we get promotion and claim some of the credit, the old B*****d.
I know it stinks, but its a million times better than him still being in the Chair. I just wish the new owners didn't have to give him the the position as part of the deal to buy us off him. Lukas Radabe would have been my choice for President.

Does anyone think/believe there is a possibility leeds could "do a monaco" and spend big once we reach the promised land?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I don't think we'd be stupid enough to, we learned from our mistakes. Monaco have a huge spending range which Leeds don't.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah if we went up our aim would be mid table/ top 12 finish and then we would spend big to finish possibly In Europe

Agree0 Disagree0

Monaco being a principality sets its own taxes usually paid to Banks within Monaco, this gives them the freedom to spend as they wish.

Last time I checked Leeds was not a principality. {Ed001's Note - Monaco have a multi-billionaire backer who is paying for it all, the club are not that rich and it is nothing to do with taxes.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed with respect its everything to do with taxes Monaco offer the same wages as PSG, Man City etc yet players are choosing to go to Monaco.

Why is this? Well its not for European Football, and its certainly not for the French League.

Players are mercenaries they're going to Monaco because when they get paid £200k a week they take home £200k a week. {Ed001's Note - except that none of those players made that choice. Monaco were the club that met the asking price, the others didn't. So the choice was to move to Monaco or stay where they are in the hope one of the others would come in with an offer.}
