Diouf signed to a non-contract...
Surely just a temporary replacement until new player is found due to the way it has been done. if the take-over is still on, NW can use the money he has left to concentrate on a striker, then in January replace Diouf with a more permanent replacement for Snoddy. Just my opinion

I would think that it's incase Diouf causes trouble and that we can get rid of him easily enough. There would be no cancellation fee.

Maybe trying him out? maybe signs proper contract after a month?
Agree0

If the takeover is completed and NW has money and El Hadji Diouf is doing the business, can you really see Neil letting him go? I certainly can't ...he'll just up his money and maybe even give him a contract to the end of the season.

And what happens if Diouf turns out to be a hit, which I think he will. Just my opinion.

Maybe he's there until poleon is bedded in similar playing styles and a cheap replacement suits Santa bates down to the ground

"He trained with us on Thursday and Friday and I will make a decision on him before next weekend because if I sign him (permanently) I will want him to be involved against Wolves." - Warnock quote from after the Shrewsbury match.
Looks like he may give him a perminent contract and the non-contract signing was a way to use him in a competitive match, as you can't use trialist in cup or league games?
Only time will tell, if we can get McCormack and Diouf signed this week I'll be happy. Although we definately need defencive cover too!

He is in the Hearts squad for the local derby game tomorrow and was at the hotel in Edinburgh that Hearts use, this afternoon, so this is made up news by someone hoping to catch attention.

No chance, we have no money and just signed Diouf for that role.

When NW took QPR up, they didn't have the best squad in the division by any means, but they played together in a manner that was effective and it worked. Let's do the same again here.

We're all getting carried away, we lack pace. Becchio and RMC are not quick enough and I think Warnock knows it. Bothroyd Beckford or DJ would bring something different. Midfield is very workmanlike but Rudy will be our star

I would imagine its a pay as you play arrangement since its a non contract signing

Agree0

It's a dark dark day even for us Leeds fans who are used to being let down . El Haj Diouf has become a Leeds player and is on the bench - can't see Ross staying now after their bust up last season. The only good news is it's non contract so we could bin him if fortunes change. Colin had to be desperate to have signed him as he makes no secret of his loathing of him.
Agree0
Disagree0
He's signed...
Agree1

Hes on a non contract week to week and hes on the bench today.YEP.
Agree0

If he's on pay as you play we can soon offload him once we have money from player sales to bring in a permanent striker/winger. In the meantime it's good footballing business to provide cover up front, even if everyone hates him

I took my lad to his first game against Derby. we were 3-0 down after 30 minutes! But won 4-3 with a Bowyer strike in injury time. Cant remember when it was. My first game was a 1-1 draw at Newcastle must have been around 1969. Saw the Fairs Cup win against Juve and my elder brother sadly no longer with us got on the pitch in the infamous "Tinkler" goal to WBA.

Anybody but Diouf. Don't care how much people rate him, he is a trouble maker both on and off the pitch.
Would rather Leeds look elsewhere.
Agree0

Hate the guy tbh,but don't think we have too many options with no money to spend.
Agree0
Disagree0
I'm undecided about Diouf... He can quality and flare to our team. He fits in the positions we're looking for. He's on a free, and he was reportedly on £2000 a week at Doncaster, so he should be really cheap.
With all those positives, he's a dick. He gets in fights, spits on kids and is an alround horrible guy. But he could help us get promoted.
Remember the last time we got promoted, we had a player that was a dick. He got in fights, took out a Leeds child mascot with a tackle, grabbed other player nuts and was an alround horrible guy. But he (Vinnie Jones) helped us get promoted.
If Warnock can keep a short leash on Diouf he can help the club in the quest for promotion and that's all I care about this season.

A poster yesterday got totally shot down for saying that Warnock is leaving. Yes it's not true for the moment but he is apparently angry that he has had to sell players, especially one of the better ones in the squad, to fund new blood in the team when he was promised money at the start of the transfer window from Bates (no takeover at that point) to do a team rebuild.
He's happy to stay for now as he has risen to the challenge of kicking off a promotion push on a shoe-string budget (getting some good players imo), he's done it before and his ego won't let him back away from this one last challenge, but if there is no investment in the team in January and he is forced to sell players again don't expect him to hang around.

Its to do with money mate. We need a striker so need to free up wages. I think Rogers and Pugh would be staying if Bates got his finger out and signed off the takeover.

I can't see anyone rushing to buy him. He has no track record in the league, I am sure he will still be at the club at the close of the window

I think the boy should get a chance as he has been unlucky with injuries. However, although Green has been on the left, I think NW is going to plump for Diouf on the left hand side. I hope not.

Utter tosh yet again, there's rumours and there's lies. Warnock wont walk away after pulling in 10 players takeover or no takeover, granted he might be annoyed but tell me someone who has leeds in there heart that isn't!! Warnock has never been a manager to demand thousands/millions on transfers, he has nearly always done the job at clubs with no money that's why like or dislike him many people respect him
