Leeds to sign Scott loach from Watford also Alan smith deal 99% done
Believable7
Unbelievable35
I wish this was true but while ken bates is at the helm expect more players along the line of micheal brown
Agree0

Alan Smith has been officially released as a free agent according to SSN but I havent seen this info myself, just repeating what I've heard.......no idea what that means in terms of lufc however.......
Agree0
Disagree0
Well mr smith has allegedly been officially let go on a free by newcastle today according to SSN..come on Smithy lets have you back lad sod the doubters
Agree0
Disagree0
Mr Smith is Leeds through and through as far as I am concerned and whilst I will get absolute abuse from plenty of people on here, I am willing to put my neck on the line and say he'll be back..just a hunch lol Newcastle have apparently released him on a free according to SSN but we'll see
Agree0
Disagree0
So when he doesn't sign for "the club he loves" what's the excuse you smith worshippers are going to use then? Could it be "bates offered wages too small"? When will you realise we don't need an injury prone money grabbing player who the only reason for signing him is for nostalgic purposes at our club?
Agree0
Disagree0
Sod the doubters- You mean the FANS, the people that have kept leeds going whilst we got relegated twice? Right decent fan you are......
Agree0
Disagree0
A hunch, more like a desperate desire. It pathetic leeds fans are so fickle, dont you have any pride left?
Agree0
Disagree0
They'll see no wrong in smith being greedy, they'll blame it on Bates. They dont chosse to see the reality of situation I dont want Smith back, nothing to do with his transfer he just isnt whats required for us to progress long-term.
Agree0
Disagree0
Leeds thru and thru lol
was then when he refused to return in favour of Scum Reserves?

LEEDS UNITED..... just been told that we have had a seemingly rediculously low bid of 300,000 bid rejected for rotherham uniteds adam le fongre, a mate of mine said he knows this for definate due to working for rotherham uniteds promotional team, he said talk of this deal has been ongoing for a few days and he was told to holt all photography involving le fondre for the time being in a rotherham united shirt because a second bid is imminent, expected to be double the first to make rotherham even consider selling.... not usually a beliver in rumours but im putting 2 + 2 together, becchio hamstring, somma cruciate ligament, paynter struggling for goals, max proposed move to the prem, leaving a lot of pressure on mc'cormack, does seem like we are in need of some much needed help in that department? if this is true then i personally think it would be a gamble worth the chance. marching on together {Ed032's Note - ive heard its carlisle
Believable9
Unbelievable15
Funny I seen the whole le fondre offer from an undisclosed club and i thought i know i will make up a rumour that the club was leeds and the offer was 400k. But then I thought why bother. But obiviously you didn't.

Doubt it SG said he not looking for striker even tho becchio and somma injured, he says we got nunez, mcormack, paynter and gradel can play there

Leeds united to make Skegness town an offer for Ryan Webster a young striker, would bea good signing
Believable8
Unbelievable25
Ken is preparing an offer of last years yellow away kit and some blue seats removed from the East Stand to make way for the new Executive boxes. Seems a good swap and good enough to seal the deal.
Agree0

Tell him to stay in Skeggy and stick to been a red coat at Butlins.

Hey Ryan...no one from Leeds united actually reads this so there is no point in touting your name about...by the way I played against you last season and you're poor

Robbie Keane to sign on loan
Believable10
Unbelievable42
Have you eaten a KFC coated in something suspect? Whatever Trevor Some people
Agree0
Disagree0
No way, if we can't afford the likes of smith on a free or get him to take a pay cut no chance with Keane
Agree0
Disagree0
I think you'll find that's Robbie Keane asked for a loan by Simon Grayson so that he can sign some players. Seen as Bates won't put his hand in his pocket.
Agree0
Disagree0
Would like to believe this and I honestly think if the opportunity arose and he had no others he would ad he genuinely never wanted to leave Leeds.......perhaps he could be our "Bellamy"
We can dream.....
Leeds aren't we....
Agree0

If Robbie Keane joins on loan, I'll eat my new Leeds home shirt

You should eat it anyway, it's garbage Damn you Macron, why can't we ever have adidas

Lets bring in Quinn, Montgomery and Michael johnson for the new season new keeper needed stockdale or kirkland and a proven goalscorer i think these players would give us fans the lift we need also with all the work going on at the ground really think its only a matter of time before Mr Bates sells the club
Believable21
Unbelievable14
Yes, it would make sense for Ken to spend lots of money doing up the ground and then leave Do us a favour, and go away taking the rest of the Bates haters with you.
Agree0
Disagree0
I can not see us signing Quinn and monty plus I don't see these too Any better than we have got s.g said he wonts to bring in 5 players 3 we have on trail so 1 more would be a keeper so that's 4 then 5th could be m.Johnson but to be honest think it will be a striker or defender.
Agree0
Disagree0
Shut up you peck and live in real world nobodys hating just fact doing the ground up makes good business sense for bates ya tit
Agree0
Disagree0
If you don't think Quinn and Monty are not better than we've you you don't no anything about football because isiah osbourne is not in there class niether is j liioyd samuel just ask cardiff fans about him
Agree0
Disagree0
Sorry guys but I don't think uncle Ken would be spending all that money on the East stand if he was going to sell.
Agree0
Disagree0
Why do people that support Bates believe they are true fans haha you all make me laugh because you support the fact that Bates sells our players and doesnt reinvest any of it in the squad. Get off your pedestal.
Agree0
Disagree0
You are a complete imbecile - go away and pretend to 'support' somebody else
Agree0
Disagree0
At this point in time I would be glad if he signed someone from Garforth Town
Agree0

Isn't Montgomery a name that will haunt you from 1973?

21 Jul 2011 13:20:02
Told you all there'd be a black kit
Macron wanted you all to buy the blue kits believing they'd be the away shirts for the season just so you would buy the new ones when they came out
MOT
Believable12
Unbelievable2
I guess the black kit denounces the morbid sign that we are destined for relegation
Agree0
Disagree0
Im not even buying the home shirt till ken puts his hand in his pocket and buys someone.
Agree0
Disagree0
The problem for me with the Black kit is the awful looking badge You can barely tell its a Leeds crest in the pictures on the website.
I never buy the current seasons kit anyway as i cant afford the £40, I tend to buy last seasons when its for a tenner in the sale MOT
Agree0
Disagree0
I have just spent £59.00 on a new blue shirt with name and numbers and badges, only now to find out there is now a black kit. why wasnt i informed i want my money back, as uncle ken doesnt use it towards the team. Gj
Agree0
Disagree0
We did get told that there would be c new away kit . Also the blue one isn't new, just new sponsor on it lol
Agree0
Disagree0
Thats not true cos if u go on the club shop it says the blue kit is the second away kit ..

Leeds are set to sign an unknown 19yr old from Bradford named Ashley Greenhough
Believable7
Unbelievable19
Listen if we are going to sign some unknown kid they are going to be on trial with us first, so unless he's 6, 3 and black and thats hardly the case because he is from bradford. {Ed015's Note - Leeds boss Simon Grayson included Osbourne, and two other trailists in Jlloyd Samuel and Alexandre Mendy, a French winger, in the Whites' friendly at Rochdale in midweek. That is the only players who are on trial at the minute}
Agree0
Disagree0
How can he be unknown when you know his name and where he is from?
Agree0
Disagree0
Hes a wonderkid, the answer to our attacking problems, started training with Leeds this morning, he will play against Sheff Wed
Agree0
Disagree0
Well obviously hes not unknown to me but he is to you
Agree0
Disagree0
I've heard he is rubbish, he should stick to his day job at McDonald's the greasy spotty teenager
Agree0
Disagree0
I've seen this lad he's been dubbed the next tomas brolin should be good then
Agree0

He quit his job at mcdonalds 2 years ago, hes not greasy or spotty, his old club dubbed him the next john charles

Max Gradel to leave to the highest bidder as he hasnt signed a new contract. So expext the recent players on trial to sign and a few others. Grayson keeps going on about waiting for the right players but the best ones have all been snapped up. Bowyer & Woodgate as mentioned by Mr Greedy Bates. Fans are starting to loose the respect of the the manager and chairman who keep saying we are the biggest club outside the prem NO WERE NOT ANYMORE
Believable19
Unbelievable18
Max has not signed a new contract cause we have not offerd him one yet. Don't no why but we should act quick. And as for players comeing in give it chance they is thousands of free agents who are top class or do the job here at Leeds. We all no Leeds by now they take the time and then shock us. J.Llyod samual and Osborne are good players
Agree0
Disagree0
Max Gradel has already said that when he is offered a new contract he'll sign it because he likes playing at Leeds and is happy here.
Agree0
Disagree0
J Lloyd Samuel in the England team played whole career in premiership very excellent fall back as proved against us last season for the bluebirds. Osbourne young and hood in the tackle. Last season we had two midfielders who could not tackle a granny that's why we conceded so many goals this season we have brown again premiership experience along with Osborne whom was playing when villa were fifth in the premiership better than those two mugs they have left. Add Nunez and mendy to our attacking options and we will see.
Agree0
Disagree0
I'm not losing faith We've won 3 in 3 in our pre-season so far, and hardly conceded.
Sure we have injury worries, but pre-season is the time for the fringe players to show their worth, and they will.
Wouldn't want B&W anyway, both are shadows of their former selves. J Lloyd would be a gread signing, and Max aint going anywhere.
A league ball hasn't even been kicked and already people are on the team's backs. It makes no wonder people dont come here. Low wages and over the top expectations
Agree0
Disagree0
Good point, these two are better players than Johnson & Kilkenny and will make us much stronger and hard to beat
Agree0
Disagree0
Why have ALL the good players gone? And as mentioned max hasn't been offered a new detail but has already said he will sign one. You are a pathetic fan that leeds could do with out. Stop your BS or F-Off
Agree0
Disagree0
We haven't signed, samuel, osbourne or mendy yet, cos wages will always be a problem, hope we do sign them, but at the moment leeds as a club are not showing alot of ambition, but will wait n see,
Agree0
Disagree0
It is be the manager who decides the players who will be signed, not the fans. smith/woodgate weren't right for the club in the eyes of the manager and he is paid to do the job, so don't start wittering about the chairman- or would you rather pay absorbitant, unaffordable wages and end up back in division 1
Agree0
Disagree0
If we're not the biggest club outside of the prem why do we have highest average attendance and i think like 7 teams had their highest gates when we played them. you clearly no nothing.
Agree0
Disagree0
Go away you imbecile - I have lots of faith in Ken and SG, who are doing a fantastic job in turning our club around if you haven't noticed, but I have no faith in negative idiots like you
Agree0
Disagree0
Bates and Grayson are the best things that have happened to this club in the past few years, Bates saving us twice and SG slowly building up a team. SG always brings the best out in 'forgotten' or unknown players like Gradel and Somma so just have faith. I know its hard for some idiots but just for once live a little and dont winge

Yeah, he's only about 50 times better than what we have at the moment. Lets not sign anyone half decent.

If this is the same lad we had on loan from Stoke a couple of years back he looked quality. Much better than what we have already.

On good authority ? Come on... how many times do we see this pointless comment. U think he's coming to Leeds and somone down the pub told you. 5th rate unconvincing trollop

I think you're thinking of Liam Dickinson who was the useless guy up front... 10 to 2 feet...
