Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

O'Kane back training and named in the next U23 squad, exciting news. We have been pushing on with gusto over the last month with an injury ravaged team, we can surely only improve with a fully fit starting 11 and whatever new gems Mighty Monk and co can unearth over the next few weeks.

I'm hearing we are after ''Proven forward'' Patrick Bamford. Am I missing something here or has he not scored in his last 19 starts on loan? I would rather concentrate on keeping our current crop of players and signing them on permanent deals than wasting money on ''unproven players'' like Bamford and others like that lad from West Ham who looks like Marcus Rashford, came from the same Academy as Rashford, who plays nothing like Marcus Rashford. 5 goals for Barnsley and worth 2 million? if he is worth 2 million then Wood is worth 10 million at least. Hope we sign Jansson and Bartley on 3 year deals give em what ever they want they have been amazing for us this season. M. O. T.

Difficult one re: Bamford. Agree we need to sign up loan players but we also need an additional striker. Not too much quality available in January.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jan 2017 07:58:15
Was thinking he'd be a perfect option until I looked up his scoring record. We need someone that will hit the ground running in January, score a magic hat full and fire us into at least the play offs. That sort of player isn't freely available in January or if they are then they'll come with an inflated price tag.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Jan 2017 12:01:57
honestly know a few palace fans and couple on the staff all say he is over rated and has awful perosnality and chip on shoulder, we have good dressing room don't mess about with it for him, nuget far better option and knows wood.

Ah. Now I got thumbs. Just fired George my lawyer. He not happy. But I gave him one of my fingers. So all good.

03 Jan 2017 19:21:14
Is it just me or are we all starting to get a bit serious with our posts. If this is down to the fact we are competing this season and if the cost of us getting promoted is that we no longer discuss Bermondsey and speedy's love life or micks lust for sister-in-law or lucas's bad tips. Maybe I'd prefer were back to mid-table mediocrity.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

03 Jan 2017 19:50:17
Maybe our success has got MM excited enough he has forgot about his sis in law and Lucas is bored with tipping us to win as we now do it a lot - anyway i'm sure Bermo and Speedy will work it out and get to the bottom of things.

Wex I think it's because our ray of sunshine Georgey boy has vanished!

Hadn't realised we were getting serious or you'd stopped discussing me and BW.

03 Jan 2017 20:06:47
Over what period of time have you noticed this wex? If it's the last couple of days then it could be the non George effect 👜 Or if you believe longer then you could be correct with you performance theory. There's no such thing as a bad tip just bets that are unlucky 😀.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 20:21:06
Wex, we've had so many seasons when we've had to laugh or we'd cry! We don't know what to do with ourselves when things are going well. 😎.

03 Jan 2017 20:27:58
Love or hate George he has entertained us all and this site would be a duller place without him Lucas just keep tipping no matter how unlucky and speedy keep playing with Bermondsey's emotions and Mick I know you will always have a hard spot for the sil.

Agree0 Disagree1

03 Jan 2017 20:31:15
Curahee, have you got George tied up in your cupboard under the stairs? If so, a few tips, give him a walk and feed twice a day. Also let him out for a wee before you go to bed, a quick whistle and he'll come bounding back in. Tell him we all say hi.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 20:39:24
As no one has anything to moan about and our lives have generally got better I personally think, and clearly this is my oppinion, that we no longer search for solice and are just getting on with life. Let's face it, we were all pretty miserable last year and so cheered each other up with all jibes and banter which over rode poor performance and disappointment 😂😂😂 onwards and upwards - positively over the moon atm. Look forward to returning to Blighty and attending games once more . days to do. MOT.

03 Jan 2017 20:44:57
Lucas consider it done. thanks for the advice. Does he have a favoured treat?

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 21:07:43
excuse me but what happens between me and Speedy in the bottom of his basement (can find at least three meanings for this word in this contents) should remain private although I understand the appeal as we are this sites glam couple maybe we should become Spermondsey or Breedy? as for george good riddance, if I wanted to get wound up by an idiot I'd go millwall and listen to the crowd.

Agree5 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 21:13:47
Curahee. Yes he certainly does. A few simple words words will be enough. Tell him we all love him, miss his words of wisdom and want him back.

With Clement taking over at Swansea, I'm a little worried he may recall Bartley!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

03 Jan 2017 16:53:52
i read monk put something in contract saying they are unable to re-call unless we say its ok to on ssn. if we are paying a fee often re-call can be blocked according to football manager (a game that sadly I had to quit my post as millwall expert this season, still great that the wall expert is die hard leeds fan, they are such a tin pot club)

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 19:50:41
Or that he won't allow the permanent transfer.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 23:41:12
I'm pretty sure Berm is right and they cannot recall him. As for getting a transfer over the line it could help us if we bid now. A new manager coming in won't want to turn it down because he will be admitting to wanting to keep what is currently a Champ defender for next season. Selling Bartley to bring in a 'better' defender to help keep them up sends out a better message to his board, the team and the fans, keeping a player in case you go down looks like you expect it.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Jan 2017 16:35:01
From what I cam make out with that Derby lad on-loan at Fulham, if it's a season-long loan then both clubs, and the player, have to agree to end the loan, so we got the Bartman till the end of the season (at least)

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 15:50:03
For debate guys David Nugent or Young Fletcher from the hammers I'd prefer tried and tested just to get promoted Dougie.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

03 Jan 2017 16:33:54
Don't really fancy either of them . Nugent is yesterday's man and fletcher doesn't score enough. I'd prefer the kid from Grimsby or winnall from Barnsley.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 16:55:13
my first choice is ward from rotherham perfect fit as cover for wood as very similar however if going 4-4-2 think nuget as played with wood before, knows league and scores for fun, think they would get us auto-promotion if monk chose that system and it worked.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 19:19:37
Agree Berm 442 with Nugent gets us up like viag range. ;) )

03 Jan 2017 19:20:01
Viagra sorry.

03 Jan 2017 19:44:28
I really like Winnall at Barnsley but got a feeling Nugent will be more likely to accept a squad role.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 23:54:19
No to 4-4-2, just no. We have a formation that is working, our best season in years built upon a solid foundation, don't frack with it. As a result Nugent all the way. Bogle isn't good enough, Winnall will cost more than he is worth, Fletcher great, if we have pennies to spare after bringing in Nugent, as a future prospect, not a starter. Nugent scores in this league, consistently, has been promoted from it, consistently, comes of the bench to win games, consistently (Theme going on if no one has spotted it yet) . The fact that we will probably get him on a loan or for peanuts too, has played with Wood if we need to throw them both on and we lose little if Wood is out, add his prem experience its a no brainer. Have also seen Ulloa mentioned on loan, seems far fetched but basically the same answer from me as for Nugent.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 12:52:53
It's January and I am like a kid at Christmas. Everyday I check the news hoping to see "Leeds United have just signed. " I know one day I will wake up and my dreams will have come true but in the meantime, I think I will just explode! Come on Garry. It's not as if you don't know who to buy. We posties have given you enough names. Just print out our suggestions, hand them out to the scouts and (if necessary) I will meet them one morning in Leeds to make sure they get on the right bus.

To my surprise we are linked to Patrick Bamford.

Agree1 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 15:47:48
who aren't we linked with? Yes I know, rule out Messi and Ronaldo (where would they play? ) but anyone else is fair game.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 16:57:49
agree can't see ronaldo replacing sako and maybe messi as back up to hernadez but probably too much on wage bill for back up player, my palace sources tell me taylor still looks set to join them and we are only saying he won't leave to increase fee and that bamford was arrogent, didn't train and only happy if main man, keep away from bamford.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 17:47:17
How about Matt Taylor From Bristol rovers score a hat full in league 2 and now doing the same in league 1 any takers.

Is it just me or does green seem more confident with crosses, seems quicker to react than he did earlier on in season. I know he punches most of them but of late he's been effective with it.

agree I was his harhest critcite but last few games he has been very solid.

I must admit greens improvement is prob down to me. I sent him some of my freevgoalkeeping vids from when I played. Seems to have learnt from them.

{Ed001's Note - what not to do? Or is that Berm's vids? And I don't mean the keeping ones.....}

03 Jan 2017 13:59:46
i have to agree with ed my keeping recently has been nothing short of shocking, playing tonight, well turing up and wearing gloves tonight.

According to GM no players he's working with with w8ll be leaving, he was very firm and adamant, possibly murphy, Diagouraga and Turnbull to free up some wages.

As it needs to be onwards and upwards maybe we can make 2017 our year and change MC superstition. keep the faith with Monk and Pep. Our pep doing ok which can't be said for all of them.

03 Jan 2017 01:17:42
Dont shoot me down, but is anyone else chuffed for Huddersfield? Wagner is doing some job there just like Monk. I keep thinking they will fade away but to no avail. There is a lot to be said for team spirit.

Are you joking? Could never be chuffed for them. They'll fade away soon cause they're rubbish.

Couldn't care less about them, as long as they finish below us. But yes manager does seem a good guy.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 10:14:39
cork as long as we finish above them then good luck to them, as I have posted before, to many clubs are being owned by people that are clueless Swansea Bolton Blackburn Coventry to name a few and yet the pl and efl and press have spent months trying to destroy M C . Perhaps it's worth remembering our bad old days and how we felt as fans as aside from an idiot here and there we are all in the same boat .

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 10:49:39
Will be well happy if we end up in playoffs with udders wendies and reading so I wish them well. Still waiting for Brighton to implode and us sneak second, mind you Newcastle are the ones dropping points.

well new year so I will put same old post for same old leeds, so xmas just gone and another season over with nothing to play for, don't look like scoring and every time they have the ball I think we are going to conceed, rubbish manager and squad that should be doing better time to go massimo and woods is useless.

i know right who would say anything harsh or negitive about super wood. although this said I have never backed or rated him check my posts.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 13:05:39
I sent him some of my vids over Xmas from back when I played. I think that's why he is now a 2 goal a game striker. Don't want to take too much credit though!

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Jan 2017 14:00:38
i wondered why he kept holding up a Aus flag when he scored even though he is a kiwi.
