Don't know about you guys but I would like to see Forssell start a game, he didn't join Leeds to sit in the bench. I think he deserves a chance because Ross and keogh look a bit knackered up front now. Any thoughts?

Told all you guys Clayton could be our new Gary Mac! Now there is one player who needs tying down to a long-term deal. I have no doubt there are clubs watching him envious. Time for Bates to place hand in pocket and use Delph money, Chelsea compo, Schmeicel cash (pick that one out Kasp!) and Gradel proceeds to secure all our good players and buy more. He can start with Clingan in January. He ain't going to want to play League One football no matter how much he likes Leamington.

To say "were no famous anymore." there is a hell of a lot of "other" fans piping up on our web pages and forums. I probably speak for most Leeds fans, but I never once look for, comment on or interested in any other team result or banter..........
So "were not famous anymore??" ha ha yea course!!

History 101
Huddersfield is an older club & lent Leeds shirts to begin with.
Huddersfield were one of THE clubs un England but then Herbert Chapman left to lead Arsenal.
Since then Huddersfield have looked east with envy must have been heartbreaking when the club lost its last link to Leeds ....the move from LEEDS Road to the Gulpfarm

Which is the priority position to improve ie bring in someone new. I'm torn. A striker, or is Ross the man? A RB or Connelly is covering it well enough. A dominant midfielder or will Jonny, Browny or MV step up? Any views? If you could only bring in 1....we are owned by KB!

Connelly.......woeful. Can't run, tackle or pass. Wooden on the pitch. We need a right back

We need a new striker to partner McCormack. I Like both Becchio and Keogh, except keogh lacks goals whereas Becchio doesen't and Becchio lacks real skill and extra physical abilities that Keogh brings. If you could find a mixture of both you would have a deadly strike force as Ross reminds of smith (neither aerial or poacher) just an all rounded player so we need a Viduka (Becchio/Keogh cross) and we'd be laughing

Without doubt right back. but there aren't many better out there.

I think conolly is pretty solid rb and i also think he also brings out the best in snodders stop finding things to moan about its boring
Agree4
Disagree6
No we definitely need one. Connolly is steady but unspectacular, and the only natural RB in the squad. if there's one place to strengthen it's there.
Agree5
Disagree1
Im not his biggest fan connolly but like one fella said he brings out snoddys form, which is what we need so keep him there

yeah Beckford was very professional at Leeds and never refused to play because he needed to be that way to get the move he wanted, he is like a lot of players these days, they have success at one club and then get ideas above thee station, players like Beckford are the reason wage bills are so high in this league along with his agent he makes a good living out of clubs , Everton may have got 4 mill for him but they spent nearly 2 mill on wages and agents fees whilst he was there, players should only get paid to the level they are playing at i.e premier top wage earners... championship next level down and so on, so if players come back down there wages should drop you will probably find that Beckfords wage at Leicester are the same as it was at Everton, thats the real reason why he's dropped back down he is on the same money and if Leeds were stupid enough to offer him the same money he would come back here to, sod him greedy git, he is like a lot of other players this day and age, jump on the band wagon make big money then retire into business or the media. Then when clubs are hard up because of greedy players who has to foot the bill the loyal supporters paying stupid gate prices to watch greedy gits like Beckford wave back and say thanks for the 20,000 a week, tell me who are the mugs here. But we love the game we don't abuse it at others exspence.

Totally agree......well said. Becchio was as prolific as him in league one and last season. He signed a new contract and is still here at Leeds.

Wage cap might help that

Beckford is on 30k at Leicester that is more than he got at Everton hence why he was happy to move

Some people talk s**te,no matter what job youre in if you are offered thousands more i think most people would go.footballers have a short career so they earn what they can,i for 1 will always be grateful to beckford,he servrd us well!
Agree6

30 grand? 20 at the most but then again we have loads of money
Agree1

I agree players only have short careers, but you and the rest of us helped Beckford to reach his desired playing status with our hard earned money, he decided to move on and did not even give the club a chance to recoup any of the money we put into him, yes we should all be grateful to Beckford for his goals that helped gain us promotion, but the failure to cap wages makes it all to easy for players to turn there backs on loyal fans and a club that made him successful, 30.000 per week is more than a lot of his loyal supporters get in a year but that did not stop them turning up and cheering him on, capping wages would stop this attitude and players would more readily commit to contracts that are safe for there level, all he is doing now is scamming football for extra money, he has used three clubs now to probably triple his wages and at the moment is giving nothing back in return, agreed he is not the only one doing this but at the end of the day I know I would love to play in the championship on 10.000 per week than use the fans that put the money into clubs that eventually pay his wages, he is not worth 30.000 per week and time has proved that he has just used the current system to line his own nest.
