faurlin to sign in january for a fee believed to be around 1.5-2.5 million

He's playing regularly for QRP now under Redknapp, why would he jump down a division?

2.5 is well of the mark buddy. he dnt play well for qpr so no way will we buy him.

He's only played once in Harry's four games in charge. Get your facts right

If you'd been paying attention to what Warnock has been saying you would know that he is after 1 quality striker and extended deals for the 4 loan players

Warnock has publicly stated in the past that Faurlin is one of the best , if not the best players he has ever worked with

'Warnock has publicly stated in the past that Faurlin is one of the best , if not the best players he has ever worked with'...maybe so but as the previous poster stated we are only looking to tie up the loan players and sign 1 additional striker, as Faurlin isn't a striker we wont be signing him!

Just because Warnock said he's only looking to tie up the loan players, doesn't mean he won't go for anyone else. Why would he make it public to everyone that he might make a move for a player. Warnock will be keeping his cards close to his chest. It all depends what kind of budget the new owners have made available. Warnock & the owners won't want tip their hand. I reckon he will look to tie up the loanees, then if someone becomes available that he REALLY fancies he'll go for them. Faurlin would be someone he'd be interested in if he became available without doubt.

Warnock is not going to state in the press his full intentions. I am sure we are gonna get a surprise or two pop up if we are serious about promotion

Wow the amount of unbelievables for this rumour..
the first comment is nothing short of personic obviously not a football fan

there is no reason why warnock would not buy this lad he already said hes the best player hes worked with

i know he said hes in to tie up the loan players and a forward but how does that mean he wont sign other players....persons

i could see this happening

Never will this happen. qpr need there best players n hes 1 of there very best so no way will they let him go lol some of you ppl speak out of your arse lol

'i know he said hes in to tie up the loan players and a forward but how does that mean he wont sign other players....persons' How does saying we're only going to sign the loan players plus a striker NOT mean that he wont sign other players?

i have heard through the grape vine that warnock is interested in fazier campell for 500k but sunderland want 1.5 million also heard john stead is a option also.
think campell would be great for us what are your thought ED's {Ed013's Note - Worth a punt, but not at 1.5 million}

I'd like to see Frazier Campbell at Leeds, he's young, and don't forget he scored quite a few for Hull when they got promoted to the Premier League a few years ago. He did score against Man Utd on the Wknd so I'm not sure if O'Neill is willing to sell. Unless he wants to raise funds for a new striker. �1mill max for Campbell, no more than that.

Personally mate I agree I think he would be great for us. I hope its true. But I doo think he's worth more than 500 thousand I think 1 million would buy him . Mot

Hardly setting the world alight now though. Need someone who is consistent!

Would be a great signing but if Hull City are still keen i think he will choose them over us especially with the Bruce link. Hope im wrong though.
MOT!

Warnock always rated Stead and nearly signed him when at Sheffield. Hope I'm wrong but wouldn't be surprised if its Stead he's after.

In a popular red-top, a figure of �7m is being quoted.

I think Campbell would choose us over Hull. His Dad is (or was) his agent and persuaded him to leave Hull for Sunderland, apparently he does get on well with Steve Bruce though so maybe that could swing it for them. Decent player and still young so could turn out to be just the striker we need especially if Becchio goes. One million tops though. Interesting times ahead for Leeds, I really do think we could be in the mix at the end of the season along with Leicester, Boro, Palace and maybe Hull

I'm going to get completely shot down for this but; I'd rather we went up at the end of next season and appointed a new manager, now.
Warnock hasn't had a particularly good record with us so far and his signings have been only about 30% successful.
Would rather see someone else installed before January to spend the funds well and then given another season to get the team sorted.
Warnock's one-dimensional direct plan doesn't cut it any more. Times have changed. This isn't about last night's result, it's about the performances of the season so far, the future of the team/club and keeping the enthusiasm of the new owners.
I we are lucky enough to go up this season, next season will be long and hard and ultimately very disappointing. This team isn't strong enough for the championship, let alone a season in the Prem... far too much dross

Leeds United keen on Bebe deal

11:00 AM 17 December, 2012



Leeds United are set to make a loan move for Bebe.

The Portuguese forward joined Manchester United in a shock £6.8million deal in the summer of 2010, but he has failed to make an impression at Old Trafford.

Bebe, who made three appearances whilst on loan at Besiktas last season, has only played twice in the Premier League for the Reds, and hasn't featured this term.

Sir Alex Ferguson would have no qualms in letting him leave on loan when the window reopens, and Fans FC understand Leeds have added the 22-year-old to their list of potential targets.

We do need to get another striker in without a shadow of doubt,� Whites manager Neil Warnock told Yorkshire Radio. We need to get another good striker in.�

I always thought that Alex Ferguson just always flatly refused to loan any players to us? I heard that he refused to let Tomasz Kuszczak come to us last year just simply because it was us.
This Bebe must've had potential if Ferguson shelled out �7m for him, but do we really want someone who has hardly featured in 18 months? I'm sure opinion will be divided but that's half the fun of this site! - JamesC

I'd would rather have big Enoch back!

I would rather tear myself a new ar=ehole.

To first reply - i thought that too but maybe he just wants to get rid of someone whos not as good as he thought and get off wage bill

shuwumni your jokeing

Not a chance will fergie loan anyone to Leeds.......ever. Not even if bebe had two broken legs would he let him go. MOT

Didn't Fergie loan us Liam Miller back in 2005?

Dazz

I wouldnt take a unite man u player if he payed us, **** fergie and his bumboys

Would prefer loan with a view to buying Bébé. Fed up of the attitude of Leeds fans who blindly scream their loathing of anything from the red side of Manchester.
Keep the rivalry on the pitch and the terraces. The dressing room and from where it's populated doesn't matter a bit.

Just reading michael tongue is one of the players warnock is trying to secure on a permenant basis. For me he has done an ok job while on loan.
But think it is a bad move trying to sign him. He is not good enough for a first team place. Not mobile or physical enough for centre midfield.
Think we could get better.
agree or disagree

You're right someone like faurlin would be a better option

Good Call pal , my sentiments exactly.
He was the worst player on the field at Derby !!
LUFC KEK

Whilst I agree that Tonge isn't exactly a superstar, since he's been with us he has always put in 100%, has bags of experience and really looks like he wants to play for our shirt.
We also have to be realistic, we're not going to get Faurlin. He starts for QPR in the PL, whilst we're still currently mid- table in the Championship. Getting Tonge on a permanant basis (if the price is right) would be a good move in my opinion. - JamesC

But tonge has played well all season!

Question, have you been to any of the games and watched him? He's exactly what we need for the second half of the season.

If you think we should sign tonge your deluded, one of the worst players off the ball i have seen a leeds! no pace, need someone mobile in there, love to see howson back in there, cant see it happening but never know!

I agree I think we could do better. He goes missing too much for me and has more off days than good days. Lets face it once signed permanently we will be stuck with yet another player that regularly underperforms eating up wages and not getting any younger. Sorry but just want us to do better.

Tonge is nothing spectacular, but he is a grafter, gives 100% and isnt afraid to have a crack at goal either. Would be a great addition for 2nd half of season and make a decent PL squad player if we did go up.

Bottom line is he's been our best central midfielder. He's actually someone who can play football & he uses the ball well. If he doesn't play we never get on the ball because our other midfielders are ineffective players that just run around & do nothing. Would be a good addition for me.

Ive been to all home and away matches and cant fault him, he does an average job, because he is an average player

what was you expecting?

To the comment about Derby performance, he was by far the best on the pitch against Hudders! When played in his actual position of CM instead of on the left he has been very good. He might not be a fashionable name but thats not what we need.

Pretty sure the striker is mackail smith, best option currently in the championship

jay bothroyd may also be a target for warnock

It says in the Mirror that Norwich are
after him. Not again .....
