Rudolph Austin to Brighton.

Believable21 Unbelievable79

Don't think so besides he always plays with his heart on his sleeves mot

Agree2 Disagree0

Happily get rid of him. Not good enough. Can't play a simple 10 yard pass.

Agree3 Disagree4

Please, please, please let this be true

Agree2 Disagree4

Can't play a 10yd pass?
Ummm look at the stats v Boro mate your eyes might get a RUDE awakening lol

Agree3 Disagree1

We need better than Austin to get promoted

Agree2 Disagree1

Not sure who we have that can fill his role atm, personally I still think he has a place at the club offering support to the back four and breaking up play.

Agree3 Disagree0

Austin always plays with his heart on his sleeve! Can't fault him in anyway for that and wish every Leeds player was the same!
Sentiment aside, is He good enough to take us forward? My head says no I sorry to say! We need better Fella's MOT

Agree2 Disagree2

Both sets of comments are right. Austin is extremely committed, but damn it, he kills our passing percentage.

I'm liking how our off-season has unfolded and Cellino has given us reason to trust him. That Milwall loss was a blessing in disguise.

Agree3 Disagree0

If every player in the team put as much effort in as rudy we would be a far better team and for a attacking midfielder playing a holding role I think he's doing ok. Who else can tackle like rudy and when he does it fires everyone up including the fans. I don't them he's a problem and would always be a great player to have as back up if we get someone better so I say keep him.

Agree2 Disagree0

Playing in front of the back four Austin does very well. Unfortunately too many fans get an idea into their heads and it sticks. Either somebody's great or they're rubbish irrespective of facts or changes in form. On Saturday for example as far as passing was concerned Austin was far better than Byram and in commitment as well. Ask some fans though and they would say Byram was good and let's get rid of Austin. That's just one example there are are lots more. Fans like White and regularly find excuses for his poor performances - I suspect fans saying get rid of Austin are all for playing White(not in the same position). Too many assessments based on emotion and not on the facts. There are a lot worse players in the current squad than Austin. He would leave a hole and be missed at present.

I completely agree with virginiawhites - the Millwall loss WILL help us this season

Agree1 Disagree0

I think austin is ok (not great not awful). He does give all and looked ok in the david batty role the other day. Aprrently is passing was over %80 accurate and best passer on the day! Also like murphy think it is more about getting them to play together rather than new players (i hope anyway). Millwall game was disgrace but seems to of had postivie effect maybe bit like Arsenals opening day loss to villa might of been wakeup/shake up call needed. Very impressed if so as it takes character and good mind set to pick up form such a p@@s poor performance which we seem to of done. Against millwall we looked like a none league team so very impressed with mind set and improvement. we may play really bad this season and have a bad match but it seems like we will bounce back and improve if we do and I think that is very postivie

Agree1 Disagree0

Very limited in every facet of his game -cannot tackle, so cannot see much of a future in the defensive mid role. And as for his passing. Please let this rumour be true.

latest on adryan!
Reinaldo Pitta, Adryan's agent, confirm the negotiations between the player and Leeds but, at the same time, he denies the presence of the midfielder today in England.
"We are talking with Leeds, but there is nothing signed".
Is it true that you and Adryan are in Leeds?
"I'm in Brazil and Adryan is in Italy, there is still nothing concrete between us and Leeds. Is it false that me or him are in England: this transfer is possible but we still haven't reached an agreement".
Would Adryan like to play for Leeds?
"If we are talking it's clear that he would like to play there!"

Adryan training with Cagliari today so he's not here, agent could be anywhere on phone until terms agreed and paperwotk ready to sign

Agree1 Disagree0

And although he trained he wasn't part of the squad that lost to celta vigo either last week so signs are looking good I believe!
what a signing this kid will be don't wanna jinx it though lol!
GO Don Massimo!

Leeds look set to win the battle to sign Chris Wood with Dave Hockaday agreeing to meet Wood's 25k per week wages.

Wolves' Kevin McDonald has admitted he would be interesting in joining the club following an equiry from Hockaday. It's believed Noel Hunt will go the other way.

- Both from Italian magazine "Pasta."

Believable10 Unbelievable50

If that was true I'd even consider voting Tory

Agree2 Disagree1

Dave Hockaday has stated that he suggests players he would like but doesn't get involved in contract negotiations.

Agree1 Disagree0

I find it hard to believe that the decision on how much to pay a player is Mr Hockadays decision to make!

Agree1 Disagree0

Would be good but can't see us paying 25k a week also think Antenucci and Adryan are priorities then just need a ball winning midfielder and a pacey winger

Agree1 Disagree1

Hock wouldn't have the authorisation to give him 25k a wk, mc does the contracts and he certainly isn't going to start offering that sort of money a wk

Agree2 Disagree0

18 Aug 2014 19:17:22
No chance of 25k a week, especially after the Agard situation

Agree2 Disagree0

Why would hockaday agree to paying him 25k? He's only the coach

Agree2 Disagree0

As reliable a sauce as pasta is I find it hard to stomach this rumour. would be amazing woods is a real force at this level and his prem record of 1 in 1 ain't bad either. selling hunt to league rival is great advantage as you can almost half there total goal tally by playing hunt

Pasta? Is that what Kenny's been reading?

So Cellino wants to bring in another 5/6 players, Adryan being the first .

Believable29 Unbelievable12

Great if that is the case and his eye for players seems to be great but do we need 5/6 players if so where? wingers, right back, midfield ball winner maybe also never have too many goalscores but what do people think we need?

Agree3 Disagree0

Just watching the Brazilian starlet Adryan he looks awesome tricks, dribbling, pace, great free-kicks seems to have got the lot a major coup if Massimo pulls this one off looks like a future 15-20 million pound player to me, can't understand why Cagliari want to off load him MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

And news now are saying byram iis staying.

Agree3 Disagree0

I hope this and Antenucci happens as both are excellent players .
Antenucci and sharp together will cause damage .
After these two a couple of wingers would be a big piece in the jigsaw.

Agree1 Disagree1

18 Aug 2014 17:14:03
that was before the 3 that sign last week

Agree2 Disagree2

Antenucci, Adryan, Di Gennaro and Novaretti, that's 4 without last weeks 3

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Aug 2014 11:30:44
Adryan supposedly flying in later today for a medical - if he is as good as his reputation then this will be a real coup for the Mighty Whites.

Lets hope for good news today or tomorrow and then 3 points off the Seagulls.

Paddy Kenny's left mutual consent. On ssn

Believable38 Unbelievable2

Was never going to play for us again, no squad number etc, so best we parted company, not been a bad keeper IMO, need to move a few more out now, Hunt, Norris, and probably Morrison in that order would be nice, and it makes way for a few more new additions, please get at least one flying winger in don't think ajose is up too much from the last 2 games, doukkara looks exciting and maybe the Hock fancies Aidy White who knows. MOT

18 Aug 2014 12:10:18
On OS now. Paddy has now left.

Agree1 Disagree0

Good, that's another off the wage bill who was never going to play for us again. I really hope that Norris, Hunt and Morison also leave. Looks like Adryan and Antenucci will be arriving very soon.

Agree1 Disagree0

I was very excited when we signed paddy but he was quite poor for us. bad positioning and never came off line and when he did he made himself smaller. state he started pre-season was an insult. i'm in better shape and possible better in goal. my wages are also a lot less so might be a decent signing?

Agree2 Disagree1

18 Aug 2014 15:02:47
Don't understand this, a year left on his contract, surely we could have gotten a fee for him even a nominal one.

Agree0 Disagree1

Strand, who did you want the fee from? Michelin?

Agree1 Disagree0

I've seen pictures of him on Double Barrel Real Steakhouse's Facebook page in Rotherham. A cheap place with an 80oz steak challenge! Maybe he should have spent less time in there & more time in the gym!

Go Paddy Go Paddy
