Was just thinking to my self as you do, and anybody considered the idea that maybe GFH have no intentions of letting RM go for the ridiculous bids being put in by midds?
being the shrewd business men they are won't they like these sorts of bids coming in so they can keep turning them down and look good in front of the fans? they may be giving off the impression that the bids coming in are getting close to a sum they may budge on all the while behind closed doors are laughing to themselves at the fact they're even still trying
and can I just say. loving being a Leeds Fan again for the first time in ages!!

Even players club wants to keep has a price! If a bid over 2 mill gets on the table, it's probably wise to let Ross go!

You got me thinking now, but i'm thinking middlesbourgh will offer 1.5 mill and emnes and i'm thinking again not a bad deal, get McKay Stevens in and a loan, and were laughing, BUt what gets me the most is I would rather keep rosco he s been loyal and servant to this club and he seems more hungry than ever I think he LL be a asset for us this season, m.o.t l.s.6 H.P.C 4 lif3

McCormack isn't special but he is our best player. 1.5 minimum bid. i'd take 2 mil for him. Vaz Te, Le Fondre, Hosiner (Austria) could all be lured for that price

Would love to see it happen if we could pull it off I think our squad is as strong as any ones saying that noel hunt and varney won't get many goals up front M.O.T

HOPE NOT.

Becchio chose to leave knowing he would be back-up to more talented players. Leave him where he is. We are not Norwich reserves!

First comment - "Varney won't get many goals" A couple of games ago he got a hat-trick in 10 minutes, he's scored the most goals for us so far

Would love to see becchio back, without his goals last season we, d be in league 1.

How much have we paid for Wootton?
Says £1m in the Mail but surely if we couldn't cough up £750k for Mills then we won't have paid more for a youngster.

Leeds United have rejected a third approach from Middlesborough for Scottish striker Ross McCormack. The bid was believed to be in the region of £1.6m plus add ons however Leeds manager Brian McDermott sees the 27 year old as a key player to his plans and is not interested in entertaining bids.
Meanwhile, the West Yorkshire club are expected to complete the signing of Manchester United defender Scott Wootton after the player passed a medical on Tuesday afternoon.
Journalist in the Mirror tomorrow. Sneak preview ;-)

No he's 27. FACT (he had a birthday. )

I posted this - and can can say even FURTHER that Brian McDermott had a chat with Salah Norruddin earlier today to get each others thoughts (as with any bid that comes in). I believe the conversation was roughly 40 seconds long. simple. Fact is that Leeds don't want to sell and it is very unlikley that Boro will come anywhere close to Leeds' valuation of the player.

If the medical is passed and personal terms are agreed Scott Wootton should sign today.
Middlesborough have made a third bid believed to be in the region of £1.5 million.
According to The Sun we have sold an u14's player to Manchester City for £250k

I fancy that McCormack will ultimately go.

Today, a contributor on the front page of this website states that Leeds have accepted a bid of £2.3m from Middlesboro for Ross McCormack and he's due a medical on Thursday . interesting? Some difference between that and your post The Peacocks.

Really hope ross doesn't leave, we're severely lacking creativity and threat upfront and feel selling him would be a huge loss and we'd regret it. Ross and Brian Mc seem pretty straight he's not going anywhere though.
This lad from Manchester United sounds promising too, 1 of my mates seems to know a bit about him (supports them), says he's got loads of potential but desperate for first team games which tbey can't offer.lets hope hesright and is a current and future star for us

Think 1.5 mil bid is far more realistic than 2.3 mil, in my opinion 2 mil will have gfhc rubbing there hands and accepting the offer, worrying though if he do go, we lack goals as it is.
