Poleon signed 2 yr deal at Oldham now

Good - not a top championship player so no loss

I'm sorry to see the lad go, don't think he was ever given a proper chance to prove his worth

Think he'll be ok in league one, good luck son

Poleon, didn't have a chance. 7 starts & various subs when we're in trouble isn't a fair chance imo. The boy so wanted a proper run of games like Mowatt had & he's only mediocre imo. From what I saw he was strong & pacey with little end product but enough about him to unsettle defences & time to improve. Just remember he was only an accademy player a year or so ago. If this is the extent of the chances our academy lads get we may as well wave goodbye to Dawson, Phillips, McDaid etc etc.
some lads develop later than others & I believe Dom will do exactly that so why didn't we just loan him out ffs. We brought in Doukara who imo is very similar & not up to standard but is also older with no lufc history so why did we give up so soon. Just wrong & for people to state he's not good enough after so little chance your completely out of touch

Matt Smith gone to Fulham for 500,000k

{Ed013's Note - Poor business in my opinion}

I thought it was 5m. that is a such a poor fee

01 Sep 2014 23:02:54
Very poor and I think a big mistake! Just hope it does not come back to bite us!

That's just made Ross and fulham's season a lot easier. Awful business.

Surely he was worth more than that! Just signed new deal. Miffed.

Total joke, cheap cheap cheap rather than leeds leeds leeds, a rubbish manager next with no chance of stabilising the ship. I fear for us, too much change

So much for signing a new contract to put off millwall who offered £1m for him.

Not worth the paper it's written on.

Lifelongleedsfan

Yea me too I agree Ed. Really sorry to see him go

Wall offered 1.4 mill apprently

Agree Ed, poor business indeed.

{Ed003's Note - As you know I'm not a leeds fan I just cover so as a neutral I was expecting at least £1m was going to be the deal saying that I was expecting ED 013 to buy be a pint when we met up last week so nothing is ever for sure octopus.}

For the sake of a balanced view, I never really rated him, and I for one won't miss him.
I watched him at the friendly (yes, I know!) at Walsall last year and he looked like he couldn't be bothered, which p*ssed me off a bit to be honest. He did little for the remainder of last season to un-p*ss me off. I'm not saying he's a journeyman, I just don't rate him that highly.
Just an opinion, so don't shoot me down!
Given a little time to gel, our current firepower may make people look back and say Matt who?

4-6 weeks’ time we'll be in a much stronger position. We're not going to win the league, or even get to the playoffs, but a healthy top half finish this season would do for me.

MC said 2 years to get into Prem. Given the last 10 years, I'd happily take prem in 3 years! Matt Smith was never going to get us there, sorry.

It may not have been great business for us, but I don't think it was a great purchase of Fulham either.

MOT!

Ed you got it wrong it's £800,000 plus benefits.
If he's any good it will be £4 mill at the end if the day.
Promise

{Ed013's Note - Bloody benefits, hasn't this Country suffered enough as it is without Footballers jumping on the bandwagon, unless its benefits of another nature and then I am sure he will have an ever lasting smile on his face ;-)

Smith just called Phil Hay and he didn't want to go.
I believe it's all about balancing the books at ER

I'm sure there were other strikers that we wanted to sell before smith, to balance the books but truth is no other club wants them .so we are stuck with a couple of forwards who don't seem to know where the net is

Last hour poss deal is if Rotherham accept offer for Ben Pringle. No more from Italy as their window closed at 10pm GB time

01 Sep 2014 22:33:59
Well rumour has it we back in for Pavoletti!

Let Pringles go as they signed Becchio.

N hunt's contract terminated and apparently signing for Huddersfield

01 Sep 2014 20:25:52
Yes!!

If you are going from what is on twitter in what I've seen the rumour was started by a fake account

01 Sep 2014 20:43:30
It was FALSE account that Ema Guilianetti has tweeted is not him. It also said Morison had signed for Barnsley.
Real rumour that Dom Poleon to Preston initially on loan

So we didn't manage to offload Hunt then. I would say his price per goal isn't great but after 20 appearances for Leeds, he still hasn't got one.

Isn't he on £30k a week.?

01 Sep 2014 14:50:21
Dom Polean to Preston season loan but a permanent would be better as he's surplus to requirements.

That'd make sense as to why Larry has been talking to MC

01 Sep 2014 21:59:29
Dom Poleon going but both Preston and Oldham vying for him.

01 Sep 2014 12:57:11
We have missed out on Slovenian international midfielder Jasmin Kurtic who has opted to join Fiorentina according to ssn. This is first I have ever heard of him

01 Sep 2014 10:26:06
ssn saying the both Oscar Garcia and Simon Grayson are in talks with Leeds for the vacant managers job.
Both great candidates, Grayson didn't deserve to be sacked last time and Oscar did very well with Brighton last season

Would like either, Grayson worked under Bates any half decent player sold .
Garcia did well at Brighton may be an advantage with the young Italians in squad

On San Grayson has ruled himself out and Garcia in talks with Watford

Grayson has ruled himself out while garcia in talks with watford

What about Sannino, late of the Watford job? He resigned today, maybe MC has "had a word" ;)

I would liked either of them, my sources (of palace and orient) have both said it looks like the watford boss will becoming to leeds. Is he any good? must be ok as watford ain't doing bad I guess. if the next boss is half a great as the wonderful Hock we will do well

01 Sep 2014 09:41:27
Danny Graham possibly in today.
