Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

Is Max Kruse supposed to be amy good? As far as I can make out he's playing for St Pauli who have been relegated and were recently beaten 8-1. This doesn't make me feel confident about him. The rumour also appears only on Wikipedia, prob linked to this website as the source, this is self perpetuating.

If you want rumours, it's strange how all of a sudden Bates now owns the club (as if he didn't before) Elland Road is getting a make over, hotels, new executive boxes and the 5yrs since administration, so Leeds could go back into the Prem league without financial restraint. . hmmm am I just being cynical?

To this fool -

I work at the the stoke city clubshop and have been told by a memeber of the backroom staff that stoke are favourites to sign snodgrass. The fee is rumoured to be in the region of 7. 25 million. However my source tells me stoke wish to offer 3 million plus ricardo fuller as stoke are going to add a number of decent strikers to thier squad during the summer."

As a season ticket holder at Leeds and someone who has seen Snoddy play many times, I have to say 7.25Million, I'll drive him to Stoke myself. Great on his day and love the bloke, but his stamina and in-consistent form and lack of tracking back will tell you why he was sold to Leeds in league 1 and not to a Prem League club. He goes missing, he did last season and got dropped to the bench at the end of this one a time when we needed him most.

Leeds will be bringing in the usual mix of loanees, players past their best and players no longer wanted by the better clubs. Until Uncle Ken decides to loosen the purse strings that's all we will get, we need to BUY the better players and pay them the going rate then we can make a real push for promotion next season.

Gary Hooper for £2m to replace Bechio going to Newcastle. J Murphy as competition for Kasper. Shelvey on season loan from Liverpool. Koncheski in if Forest don't go up, if they do he will go there. Kruse and Volz is a done deal as is Montgomery. Also in talks with Ched Evans.

Please Leeds fans don't keep harping on about Alan Smith coming home. 1 You cannot afford his wages. 2 Why drop into the championship when premier league clubs are asking about him? 3 He still remembers the dogs abuse he got when he left for Man Utd.
Also, don't worry about Newcastle poaching Snodgrass and Gradel. Both championship players at most and Gradel is a poor mans Routledge who we are getting rid of. Thank you.

Bradley Johnson is expected to sign a new contract with the club this week with talks looking to start tomorrow.

Grayson is said to be looking into which players are leaving after their contracts are up this summer before looking to make a move for players on his hefty target list. He will only replace who he needs to.

Scouts are said to have been focusing on RB, LB, CB, DM and ST positions
