Leeds Rumours Archive January 11 2013

Clint Hill, Kim Ojo and Dani Pacheco will all join Leeds.

Would be great signings..still unsure on hill..but he has had some good games in the epl.

Il cry if we get Hill, completely past it the way he was taken apart by Suarez was a joke. What's the point in getting him if we are to make it in the premier league, just one of warncocks mates that he'll try and sort out before he elopes off into the Cornwall sunset, at the end of the season. Complete joke.

Hope we get ojo looks to have promise and very young aswell for our team anyway I hope Warnock dosent buy any OAPs in the window

Theres deals to be done with both Harry and Moyes so lets wait and see....

Poster 3 : why would you cry if we got hill did you not watch QPRs games against Chelsea and Spurs he was fantastic

Leeds to drop out on the bid for faurlin and are now looking to put in a 1million bid for Blackburns morts gamst pedersen as he is not a starting player for them, and has attacking throws to suit our play. {Ed013's Note - He is a Leeds fan so may come}

11 Jan 2013 21:43:59
He would be a cracking signing!!

I personally would love this signing and he should love to get one over on singh what his name for the comments saying he's past it all that man needs is a new challenge welcome here any day pedersen mot
irish leeds fan!
p.s sounds plausable

11 Jan 2013 22:30:08
If i remember rightly isnt Gamst Pederson left footed ?
I'd take him all day long, created hundreds and popped up with a few goals of his own from time to time plus if he's a Leeds fan lets get him.
MORLEY WHITES

Yeh right so he can get 15k a week instead of the 40k he on now! We are desperate as a club and i hate to admit it.. Average crowd what 18000.. Next geezer tells me LEEDS are a big club i will do up my own shoelaces! We were a massive club but lets be honest we don't even make top 20 anymore. Medium size clubs like Leicester, Ipswich, Derby all get proper crowds. We, a big city one team club get absolutley rubbish attendances and i find it embarracing..

LOL... I live in Ipswich and got a free ticket (hate them, but a game is a game) the other week. They had about the same attendance as we do more or less. Ipswich are not a bigger club than us. Get some perspective kiddo

Just heard we are in for Wayne bridge, any truth in this ed? {Ed013's Note - No mate}

Really happy with Ross barkley signing.. Great player at championship level and will do a great job for us.. Young and hungry and will definately add depth... Should start every week for me and how many midfielders do we have now? Really hope he signs for rest of season or permanant.. Future international fro sure... Just shows nobody knows who NW is really looking at! I would personally like to see a strong ball winning defender and a left winger with some pace.. I think a new left back would suit but if Colin gave drury a chance more often we would be fine there.

So here are my last 3 signings to get us up....

Bramble cd or Knight cd
Gradel lw or Puncheon Lw
Wells st or Pope st

This would leave the team as

Kenny
Byram Knight/bramble Lees Drury
Austin
douiff tonge barkley puncheon/gradel
becchio

subs ashdown, white, pearce, norris, mcormack, pope/wells, green

You mean the Puncheon who is playing every game for Saints in the Premiership?? Think about it.

You're deluded to think barkley would sign 'permanently' for leeds everton wouldnt let him go they value him highly and he's only out on loan to get more experience so he learns from any mistakes he makes in the championship and not the premier league and he is destined to be not just a 'championship player' he will be a great 'premier league' player

Sorry don't understand how you can honestly believe there is any chance of a permanent signing that is way off he's a great young player he will be with us on loan to gain experience then will be pushing for evertons first team and do any of you honestly believe everton would sell their best homegrown prospect since wayne Rooney to a championship side like us just being realist here it is not on the cards

Bramble?!?!?!? Why?

I hope to christ your not talking about Titus!

11 Jan 2013 20:09:44
Everton fan in peace lads

Barkley is amazing guys, he will be a superstar but don't get your hopes up on a permanent signing as Moyesee has big plans for him and so do we

Good luck this season and hopefully you can keep Barkley until the summer as he needs some experience

You will be back where you belong soon lads

Degsy

What about the captain peltier need him in squad for defo

Pope havin a freek season he's useless really played for my local team rotherham

Wot about peltier and austin and uu really fink we'll get barkley on a permanent get real kid

I echo what my fellow Evertonians say about Barkley, unless you've got a spare £25m lying around he's not gonna be signing for you permanently. Just enjoy the lad while you can he's gonna be a top, top player for Everton and England in yrs to come. Good luck with the promotion push.

Good shout and respect Degsy - thank you

Why not play
Kenny
Lees tate pearce drury
Tonge norris
Byram barklay mc cormack
Bechio

LOL 25 mill dream on kid

Apart from when he goes missing for whole games at a time and never does any tackling or defending of any sort. Talented but lightweight. He is only with as we are not prepared to spend any decent amount of money actually buying players. Same old crap.

12 Jan 2013 13:42:53
@comment10 ... going to be a top player for Man United via Everton.

^top player for Everton is what was said. D'uh

Dominic Matteo says talk of interest in Luciano Becchio and Sam Byram is much more than speculation, having seen scouts he knew at Leeds United's recent FA Cup tie with Birmingham - YORKSHIRE EVENING POST

people are moaning about ross barkley on a months loan, why, deal could be extended, plus at the moment nothing has been said about our manager situation for next season so, i think 3 to 4 GOOD quality loan signing are the right way to go then in the summer see where we are, barkley is a young talented player, so i think he fits the sort of loans we should be looking at, mot

This won't work. Loan players don't feel the need to commit to their loan club 100% - physically or mentally - but especially physically. So they under perform in 90 percent of cases.

It must be extended a player can't play more then 2 teams in a season so it would only make sense to keep him till the end of the year

To the first respondent. I might agree if it were an older player, but this is a young bloke in exactly the same position as the youngsters we have out on loan.

They are giving their all and doing well to to prove their worth to Leeds.

This guy will do the same here, as he wants a starting 11 spot with Everton.

I don't know enough about the rules, but if he can't play for any other teams for the remainder of the season and this improves our chances of keeping him for that period, it can only be a good thing for us.

AussieMOT

Sheff wed got him for a month initially then extended it week by week as everton were happy for him to be out on loan but didn't want to commit to a long term loan in case of injuries as they have a thin squad i guess it will be a similar arrangement for us

11 Jan 2013 17:17:25
SSN Quoting NW saying that there has been a few enquires for Paul Connolly and Danny Pugh. Looks like we are shifting some deadwood.

11 Jan 2013 12:56:15
LUFC to sign Abdul Razak on loan. Deal to go through early next week

Funny that because im pretty sure he is away with ivory coast preparing for the african cup of nations that starts next week.

Does he not play cricket for Pakistan??

I gather you mean the Pakistani cricketer? Coz I can't see the mancs lending him to us

11 Jan 2013 11:47:29
Leeds United have completed the loan signing of Everton's Ross Barkley for an initial period until February 12.
The 19-year-old midfielder has already tasted Championship action this season while on loan at fellow Yorkshire side Sheffield Wednesday. Before linking back up with his parent club in mid-November Ross made 13 appearances for the Owls, scoring four goals.
Ross, who has made his way through the Everton Academy, put pen to paper on his first professional contract at the age of 17. He has since extended that deal and he is currently contracted to Everton until 2016

OS

Fantastic signing by the club lets hope he can stay beyond the loan deal see this lad quite a few times over the last few years he's a class act will be a top player

What a signing! would prefer a longer deal though.

11 Jan 2013 14:50:37
Maybe everton will sign white now as they were interested not so long back

Don't be daft -White's too good for Everton! Chapel A

Hope this dose not invole sam be going inthe other direction

Only reason we got him for a month loan was because so nobody could bid for him in the transfer market,, still quality player hope we get more of the same quality ..

Whites not good enough for everton they will be looking at Sam byram

Great signing.. Keown once described him as 'the greatest player in the premier league!' knows his stuff!

I'd swap him for White any day

Brill signing even for a month who knows if he feels wanted here (ie crowd noise, game time etc etc)he may stay longer ..win win situation for us so for gods sake lets stop all the negativity towards anything LEEDS and do what we do best sing us on together

Leeds for life ....MOT

Ross Barkley signed on loan. On O/S

Great signing! real talent, few more signings like this and we'll have a real chance of promotion.

good to get excited about leeds again

Great signing, hope we can keep him for the rest of the season.

I do hope some of you lot will hold off the constant whining and criticising now and give the management a chance to get some quality in place

Excellent player who will relish an opportunity to show what he can do. Mouse rates him highly

Probably a fail-safe signing with a more experienced player the real target. If that one arrives before 31/1 Berkley goes back. If not he is extended to end of season just before 31/1 or becomes 93 day emergency loan in February. Encouraging

Great loan signing, young and hungry with talent... MOT

Great player but i am worried about signing a player for only 1 month, just as he is setteling in he will be going back to Everton. You can't build long term success with loan players. I was hoping after the takeover we would be moving away from loan players and buying young players on long term deals. garyd MOT

Just watched a clip of him on Youtube from when we played Seff Wed, looks quality just want we need a midfeild, player that can keep the ball and move it around. will also be much quicker in the middle than what we have, he also go 4 goals in 13 games for Wed! Lets hope he can continue that form and hopefully we can hold on to him for a while longer.

Brilliant he was excellent against us when we played against Wednesday

To the third poster - If you pay good money to see LUFC you are entitled to whine a bit and if you think that it doesn't deserve a whine then you clearly didn't go to Hull or the home game with Bolton.
foxrat

Thats more like it! bit of youth coming in and a touch of class, looked good when he played for sheff wed against us!

Great -Barkley and Tonge will actually give us a proper-looking midfield. Had enough of watching the scrappy, bits-and-pieces lower league types being over-run (sorry Norris, Austin, Brown, Pugh et al -there's a place for grafters, but you have to be able to keep and pass it as well). With Green, Byram (must move up from full back) and another like Boyd or a pacey type such as Templeton fighting it out for places, we might finally have a decent midfield again. Chapel A

We are desperate for a creative midfielder. i just think we have got him for a month so we can tie down someone else down perminantly by the end of the month to battle negotiations with whoever we want to sign. good cover for the time being tho! MOT

Just need a LB and another CB and im happy if we can tie down our loan signings till end of the season. MOT

Neil Warnock and Leeds United's board were re-evaluating their January transfer strategy today after reaching dead-ends with a spate of approaches for potential signings.Warnock was due to meet chief executive Shaun Harvey this afternoon to discuss the club's next move following "seven or eight" unsuccessful enquiries for players on their list of targets.
new owners same rubbish

Any one would think Bates was still in charge oh i forgot he is !

Dont have a go at them, warnock did not realise until this week that he needs to talk to any players manager and not only to their agent, as the agents say they may be available, but when he speaks to the manager they say he is not available!? wow and how many years of management did it take you to realise that Mr Warnock?

No truth in that, you are only guessing and making it up after what Warnock said yesterday. At least the calibre of player we are going for is positive if the clubs are needing to hang on to them

ADW

How are the new owners, or even KB for that matter, to blame for other clubs not wanting to sell their players? Some peo[ple are completely clueless!

Sack Shaun Harvey

Anyone else struggling to see much of a difference between the Bates and GFH regimes? I know it's early days, but not inclined to hold my breath...Sorry. Chapel A

Bates still has a say till end of the season, just bear that in mind. GFH will want to pay the transfer fee's for quality but bates don't want the player wages piling up on the books so he can ship as much as possible back to monaco because he is a greedy horrible chelsea gnome! MOT

You can't see the difference between Bates and GFH?! How about the 2 million in transfer fees they spent in the summer when they didn't own us? How about paying for contracts for White and McCormack? How about funding loan moves for Tate and Thomas? How about introducing half season tickets at much reduced rates (lowest price being around £200, £20 per game). How about giving Warnock the money to sign Hall, Tonge and Barkley as well as backing him enough to chase players like Wood and Blackstock. Warnock said he's been talking to Premier League managers and 1 Championship manager. They are clearly backing him more than Bates ever backed any manager there is a clear difference.

Obviously gfh haven't got a bean, when chelsea or man city, scum, liverpool were taken over they spent millions and had total new squads we are looking at the likes of clint hill and still can't sign them, what about giving the fans something to shout about

Ref new owners same rubbish, just because we target players doesn't give us a god given right to sign them, if their clubs say they're not available for sale what more can the board do ? we should be greatful we finally have a board in place place that have made funds available to chase quality players to aid our cause, it's early days yet and we're clearly showing intent to strenthen our squad, don't need this negativity we need support and a 100% of it, time to show potential targets this is the club to play for by packing e.r to the rafters instead of all this negativity

12 Jan 2013 13:39:20
Simple fact here is that GFH do not have the wealth we were hoping for. If they did players would have been lin0ed up at the start of the transfer window. Sorry but, I am afraid that its at least one more season in the Championship for us

11 Jan 2013 09:25:13
NW is set for talks with Shaun Harvey due to missing out on 7 0r 8 transfer targets in the window so far. He will sit down with him and evaluate other targets in mind.
MOT!

Harvey has to be the worst negotiator in the Football world, would help if he cut his puppet strings that are attached to Ken Bates hands...... MOT

Dani Pacheco heavily linked to Leeds.
Cant get a look in at Liverpool and at 22 he needs
first team football. Loan until end of season.
