Norris is on his way out of Leeds

How do you know that then? Hopefully it's true though, he's just dead wood to be honest

Good guess m8

That's top secret information dear SHERLOCK.

Where exactly is headed and how soon?

He is a decent player but not going to get a game with Austin and Murphy in centre of midfield

He will be moving on a free back to Portsmouth

Does he need a lift?

Still not actually happening though?

Personally I wouldn't Wang Norris to leave as I think he hasn't been given enough of a chance. When he did get a chance he looks pretty decent. Willing to run and he seems to gave a good right foot on him!

Xmas come early

Ross McCormack is the subject of a second bid from. Middlesbrough thought to be in the region of £1.3million.

Take it, the way he played against Leicester on Sunday and throughout his first season at Leeds, and last . good offer

That means he's on his way then

WOULD SELL HIM FOR THAT

The new bid was £1, 300,000 Leeds have quite rightly rejected it.

Are you guys stupid, first of all people make out Austin is a world beater now your saying sell McCormack and basically implying he isn't that good, well you obviously know nothing as Ross is one of the best we have.

Lkell

That may well be a reasonable offer for Ross but there are several good reasons why we should not accept it.

1) Ross seems to be comfortable in his new role. Could excel here.

2) There is a positive buzz around the club at present. Selling one of our better players could wipe that out at a stroke.

3) We do seem to be struggling to recruit a little. Sell Ross and there is no guarantee that we would replace him quickly.

We have made a very encouraging start to the season. I believe we are already in a better position than Middlesbrough. Ross would be mad to leave.

I'd take it, if money was spent on a replacement

Reply 6 bang-on. Keep Ross and add more.
He's creative. Can't be perfect every game, but you're right about the positive buzz: hang on to what we've got that's good and build on it.

5 mill might fink about it

Would imagine if boro go up to 2 mil, that may well make leeds consider it.

We really need to keep him but desperate for a poacher.
Billy shap on loan?

Shrew leeds

And if we sell for say 1.5 who would u get in for that price and wage who is not only as good but has to be better otherwise what's the point? I don't see many players with his commitment to us and quality for that money! Like previous guy said, selling would wipe out the feel good factor in a flash. I'm open to names as to how u would replace him with to those who think we should sell!

As has been said he is one of our best and most influential players. The money being offered would not buy a better replacement. Lastly he's committed to Leeds.

Some Leeds fans should remember we are all in it together this season and the song goes "Marching on together" not "Marching on together err but not with you Ross if we get enough money". Some Leeds fans seem to be as fickle as Howson, Snodgrass and Becchio

Fawksey

Only 1.3million, surely he's worth at least double that! It would be a wrong move not only for us but also for Ross. He would be one of the best we have for this season. An up and coming legend! MOT

Lifelong Leeds fan.

Id take 1.3m and marvin emnes who is apparently heading for the exit as is

Ross mccormack is not for sale. ross mccormack is not for sale!

The only way we are going up is by HOLDING ON to our best players, mcdermott is a clever guy and won't get rid of ross, especially not for 1.3 mill!

You could get alf for that price take it

Little bit of advise to Ross if he moves there, those red things in the stand aren't fans they're the seats, awful fan turnout and he's worth more than £1.3

No way we could get a rep that is better at this stage. Maybe if it was at the start of the transfer window, and someone else could gel and not ruin the 'feel good' factor but not now.

1.5 mill offer Tuesday for McCormack from celtic, deal will be done soon

We shouldn't accept any bid for Ross. He wants to stay, McDermott wants him to stay, and he's easily our most influential player. All you clowns saying we should sell are either armchair fans or still think we're in the prem! Ross is nothing but good for LUFC

Are you crazy ALF for £1.3 million? Sako is going from a L1 club for around 3-4 million, ALF who has proved himself for a season in the PL and is a natural goalscorer is surely going to cost more, in the region of 4-5 mil?

McCormack is worth much more than 1.3 million, in fact, that is an insult from boro. Tell them to **** off or treble their offer

Yep - I fall into the Reply 6 camp too. Well said, matey; it's been shown so many times in the past that selling one of your best/most experienced/respected players does little for morale and can be soooooo damaging.

Brian McDermott's key 4th signing was infact Gordon Greer. Leeds had a couple of bids rejected and he is now set to agree a new deal at Brighton.- tv.

Other rumoured targets are Kaspars Gorkss and Matt Mills.

Leeds are also set to appoint a new chief scout this week and I believe his first task will be to have a better look at Todor Nedelev.

What is your obsession with this Bulgarian?

You played football manager and signed him no doubt. Give it a rest!

Could you tell me where you're hearing about Todor Nedelev? Do you actually have a source or have u just seen that he is linked with werder bremen and decided to make up a rumour?

If Brian said the player was very interested in joining surely he wouldn't of just signed a new deal? that doesn't indicate that a player wanted to leave.

Sorry but how is a useless 32 year old slug a key signing? terrible player and il go as far 2 say he's the worst championship player.

You are wrong. Bmac said "this player excites me" a defender wouldn't get this description in a million years. I think it is Todor or Rowe.

Google search "Todor Nedelev and Leeds utd pops up. A lot of rumours about on forums and the odd one on the foreign sites. Bulgarian bloke on FB reckons its a rumour circulating over there

Deffo Todor, get him signed up ASAP!

Total nonsense, what fan would have been excited by that signing?

Glad we did not get greer, as we need younger players at the club than a 32 yr old.

Gordon Greer of Brighton is one of the central defenders we have been in for. But has just signed a new deal with them.

Gordon greer young and hungry
