Hearing as I'm sure a lot of you are that poleon has had his contracted terminated as he wants to go find first team football. If it's true I personally think it's a shame, talented boy with pace. Could have given him a run in the team to see if he can hack it, not 10 mins as a sub here and there!

Hope not, the kid has never been given a proper chance, must be frustrating when he watches hunt(terrible terrible player) and morrison(not has bad has hunt but doesn't care one bit for Leeds) get in before him and the new kid ajose come straight in from no where, this may come back and haunt us IMO, especially if no fee for him, don't get MC sometimes he won't go the few extra £ for quality but let's players leave for nothing without replacements in? Pressure is on now because hunt and Morrison are only going to get worse.

Agree2 Disagree0

To get a decent run in the first team you have to perform in the reserves and he NEVER pulled any trees up in the games I saw or read about I'm afraid ;(

Agree0 Disagree2

Never really rated him tbh, the only reason that ending his contract is a bit worrying is that we lack forwards. Think I would have waited till we have signed someone else. In the long run don't think we'll miss him though.

Agree0 Disagree1

Against Dundee Utd (who were terrible) he came on and done more than hunt has done in 13 months of being a Leeds player, I'm not saying he's great but a lot better than hunt who gets more chances than any other player in other team in any other league ever, like I said pace, energy, goals.

Agree2 Disagree1

He needs or needed a season long loan in a lower league to gain confidence and play week in week out instead of the 7 games he played for bury and 7 for sheff utd.

Agree2 Disagree0

Would certainly play him ahead of Hunt but agree with other comments that for me he's never quite shown the finishing quality and team work that we need to fight our way out of this division. He would be a very good League 1 player.

Agree2 Disagree1

When he came on against millwall I think he livened up the team and added genuine pace. Not saying he will set world alight but seems better than hunt and as good as the others (apart from Smith) who we have, we have one of the smallest squads in the league and rather than bringing players in we are letting our betters ones go, after the season has opened! did MC learn english by watching Falwty towers?

Agree2 Disagree0

Take on all your points guys. Agree it wasn't as though he was scoring bag fulls in the reserves. But as everyone points out, other players Morrison, varney, hunt were all picked in favour of him. And he couldn't have done worse than them. Anyway nothing official on os yet. So still speculation.

Agree0 Disagree0

I must admit whenever I saw him he did liven up the team. Had an impact on other players mentality. Which is more than I can say about. Hunt. Morrison. Or smith tbh! Not saying he is better but just added a bit of belief to other players!
Same with byram. Whenever I see him on tv he is norm our best or second best and he is academy leeds. I would rather try and keep him than any other current member of our team. Show the boy we want him and he will turn in to a batty. Smith. Player for us

Poleon saying on social media how change isn't always bad and it's best to do what's best for you
Which suggests he I leaving, anyone got an idea wether it's a loan or a permanent deal
But surely this means we must have to sign another striker

Believable24 Unbelievable11

Must admit I don't think he's being given the chance to show what he can do, and wouldn't blame him for wanting out.

Shame, but it's quite obvious Hockaday never actually saw how dire most of the players he put on the pitch on saturday were last season.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Aug 2014 21:37:33
I would be surprised if they would let him go, he should be in the team imo.

Agree2 Disagree0

11 Aug 2014 21:50:07
it seams a lot of players want to go why hockaday is rubbish just seen his report did he wafch a different game we might of got a draw funny people who went said 5-0 bit different said we were very bad he making out ok blind and stupid

Agree1 Disagree0

Heard his contract has been terminated. Just what iv heard in social media though guys! Hope not

Agree1 Disagree0

Need to replace Hunt and Morison but Poleon isn't the answer .

Agree2 Disagree2

Maybe that' the hock doesn't think he is conference material because that's were going to end up with them 2 persons there

Agree1 Disagree0

To be fair he would never be anything more than a fringe player, yea he's quick but like white he has no end product, the lad will do well at league 1 level and I wish him all the best in the future, oh and can you ask your new club when you get one if they will take Hunt as well.

Agree2 Disagree1

Former Italy Under 21 star Giuseppe Bellusci is set to have a medical with Leeds United tomorrow or on Wednesday, according to Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio

Believable52 Unbelievable9

This is also confirmed by ema Italian journo on twicker

Agree2 Disagree0

5 yellows and 2 reds in 20 games in Serie A . bring em on :)

Agree4 Disagree0

Hockaday will probably play him up front.

Agree4 Disagree1

At least there will be some threat from our team. Even though it might only be a threat to the other teams legs haha

Agree3 Disagree0

Hope he's class. but need a few experienced British players to mix it up a bit IMO.

Agree2 Disagree0

Hearing the Berlusci deal is a loan we need to buy some players not loan them as the majority of players are only playing for themselves. MC needs to buy some proven players not young Italians with potential, that is all they are potential & if Saturday's performance is to go buy we need some new recruits urgently

Agree1 Disagree0

All loans deals he's done have the option to buy at end of year I think great business if they are carp send them back

Agree0 Disagree0

Wasn't it lucky that Stewart and Kebe were 'just a loan'
They can work out, Gradel for starters.
I think if it's with a view to a permanent move it's different than just getting game time to get fit or learn.

Agree0 Disagree0

Medical will probably be done by the Invisible Man, and then he'll sign his contract with invisible ink - or am I just getting a bit too cynical?

Agree0 Disagree0

GET HIM IN so we don't have to put up with anymore sub-standard wooton defending also Austin, warnock, murphy, hunt (of course) all need to be dropped don't care what wages there on young guns in please mr wackaday!

Agree0 Disagree0

Solarno is the king of finding young talent, I think there checking out whether they can hack it in England as it's a learning curve for Solarno and MC in the championship. I think they will learn quickly just hope it's not the hard way.

Agree0 Disagree0

Rumours from strong sources on both ends, Billy sharp + a substantial amount of cash for Sam Byram, kind of fits together with Southampton showing a keen interest in Byram, Money from the deal will go towards signing another central defender as Sorenson deal is dead and gone.

Believable33 Unbelievable49

11 Aug 2014 16:32:25
Byram already said he's not interested in soton, this is made up

Agree2 Disagree1

Tbh it does all add up, wonder if we bought the Swiss kid knowing he would be sold? At least we would have a ready made replacement and a decent centre forward at this level IMO, would rather keep him but if MC see's fit he will be gone 100%, so play him up top with dakoura on the wing, Charlie Taylor at l back, the new Italian c half with Pearce! and GIVE away hunt, Morrison, wooton and with the money from Sam buy another wide player at least!

Agree2 Disagree1

Of course yes just like the money he is going to spend on ross's fee, think I smell a rat he could be ken bates in disguise

Agree0 Disagree0

Verona now favourites to sign Sorensen - The Dane remet with MC but can't agree to the wage Leeds are Proposing . forget the stadium at the moment if we have the same response from the players all the way through the season it will be more then one promise he'll be breaking. can't jump from league 1 to the premiership in 1 season!

Believable38 Unbelievable10

Oh dear. Cellino is now saying that Adryan could be joining which means when he 'joins' and it is 'confirmed' they actually cannot agree on wages. I expect Cellino just to promise and then deliver nothing. Expect Ranger and a nobody centre back to join and that's it. Wrote by a an extremely worried fan.

Agree3 Disagree2

Agree Joe. In favour of MC's policy generally but the situation calls for some flexibility - and before anyone says you can't offer 1 player more than others, that's bull ****. No club has every player on same wages. I'm not bothered about having best stadium and attendance in League 1

Agree1 Disagree1

Pity mc didn't take up the offer of 1billion for club!

Agree1 Disagree1

i do think what he has done for the club is great balancing the finances. a lot of people (GFH) would have been excited by the prospect of owning a club like leeds to only see the financial mess we're in and try to sell the club on. but agree needs to realise that crowds will only drop in league 1 and running the stadium will cost the club more then renting it . as for adryan he'd be a quality signing but looking at the line up we put out on saturday without a prolific goal scorer I think we're done already and with Cellino not used to the english league it will take a while for him to get used to players. I've already read he's rejected bechhio and sharp

Agree0 Disagree1

Sorenson not coming, I do wish Cellino would keep his trap shut when announcing deals when especially not completed. Wait until they are showing their shirts in the air that's when it's done and dusted
