Agree1 Disagree1

Muelensteen and Mark Pembridge being announced as assistant manager and new midfielder respectively.

Terrible attempts at jokes

Think it was comedy central

Takeover today conner wickham joining on loan

Believable31 Unbelievable80

Interesting to see that Wickham was not even in Sunderland's squad at the weekend. Fingers crossed.

Mad Mick

Agree2 Disagree0

Would be a great start to the week if either of those happened. Wickham, Butland . these are players you sign when you want promotion

Agree5 Disagree0

I can't see league approval coming for weeks yet as I reckon they are still looking for a reason to say no, they don't want to approve this takeover as it would mean we would be back in the premier very quickly and they would just hate that. If cellino had no money he would have been approved already

Agree0 Disagree3

Am I correct in thinking that you can only have 3 loan signings at once though?

DB

Agree1 Disagree4

DB if that's the case it's a great excuse to get rid of the lightweight Stewart and slow Kebe-possibly the worst wingers I have ever seen! Oh hang on, I do remember Ryan hall in the Birmingham cup tie at ER-totally inept!

Agree7 Disagree1

No takeover today mate, i'd get a new source

Agree1 Disagree1

You might say Kebe and Stewart are lightweights but we look to have goals in us when they're in the team. Plus, we weren't exactly on the best of runs prior to their arrival- having them as wingers beats the previous 5-3-2 formation we were working with wing backs.

Agree1 Disagree6

As many loans as you want but limited amount from each team and only five loanees allowed in matchday eighteen.

Agree2 Disagree0

Have seen a couple of negatives about Kebe, sometimes he's thinking ahead of his team mates with only Byram and McCormack on his level - his tracking back is excellent as well as his forward support play.
Everything to the left of him in midfield is more worrying but at least in Murphy and Stewart we have some youth that might mature into something. Rudi seems to be lacking something compared to early season form. We need a creative midfielder and have done for some time but there aren't many good ones around. Even with money to spend we still have to find the right quality and blend.

Agree2 Disagree5

DB, unless somethings changed that I'm not aware of I'd say that Watford have shown that you can have a lot, since most of their team was on loan last season

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Feb 2014 14:14:54
Got goals in us? We haven't even managed an attempt on target in the last two matches!

Agree5 Disagree1

Watford had 9 in squad v Derby which was their record number of loans. They had 8 against us. However, they exploited a loophole which was addressed at the start of this season.

5 loans in the match day squad is the maximum.

Agree2 Disagree0

Kebe = pants

Agree4 Disagree1

Did I miss the takeover announcement?!

Agree1 Disagree0

You did'nt miss it mate, no takeover approval for weeks and weeks yet, if at all. Original poster needs a much better reliable source

Agree2 Disagree2

its definitely going to be announced this month NOT

Agree0 Disagree3

I'm pretty sure we shall get a decision soon from the FL. It is a pity that they weren't as thorough with the GFH application. They are incapable of running a football club. At least Cellino has some experience and this will be of great advantage to us. that is, if he can keep his nose clean.

Agree1 Disagree0

Kebe is getting a raw deal from a lot of supposed fans. Saturday was never going to be a goal fest, but we battled hard for a point. A game we would have lost earlier in the year. Support the team, the slagging off is so negative.

Agree4 Disagree2

Would rather they approve it in April than not at all. Next season is our season. Avelar, Adryan and Tabanelli ;)

Agree1 Disagree0

Kebe tracks back, ahead of his team mates, good forward support play?. whatever you're on I want some 'cos kebe is the worst player I have seen in a leeds shirt for years, he's totally disnterested

Agree2 Disagree2

I personally think the Take over will happen in time.

It's about time that all these supposed Leeds fans stop moaning and being negative and get behind the team and BMD.

What ever happens I will always be Leeds thru the ups and downs!

Lifelongleedsfan

Agree1 Disagree1

Ah cheers for clearing that up.

Well - this could make sense. Interview with McDermott in today's YEP saying he's stepping things up to find a new striker before the loan window closes. Just waiting for green light from take over.

DB

Agree1 Disagree0

Lifelongleedsfan

Unfortunately "marching on together" is a concept not understood by some "fans"

Fawksey

Agree1 Disagree0

While that is true mate and I agree we should be a touch more positive when we get any points at this stage, its not like we haven't been messed about. We have the best support in the land and the club owe us as much as to give us some info! We make the club. No matter who plays, manages, runs the club, its our passion that drives the machine. We've been strung along too long, I feel like we're about to get dropped a big blow with all this going on. I rreaaaaaallly hope it happens and we get back to where we should be. But the fl hates us! We know this! I've just got a gut feeling GFH have stitched us up. Prove me wrong. Please

i can't tell what kebe is really .hes not low enough to ground to be a decent wide midfielder with good feet . not strong enough to be a striker or midfielder .
I would guess he would play best in a 3 man attack so probably the wrong player to be in our starting 11 at the moment.
Stewart is just in need of confidence and a small bit of strength but he will gain confidence and experience from game time and strength will come eventually if put on right strength training . don't want him too strong or he will become too slow

Agree0 Disagree0

Next Planned meeting of FL is mid March. There are issues which need resolution regarding TO, BUT if resolved earlier possible emergency meeting. Don't hold breath though.

Massimo Cellino will receive approval tomorrow from the football league and will complete his takeover of Leeds United Football Club. Monday is the day.

Believable26 Unbelievable58

But tomorrow never comes.

Agree2 Disagree1

Agree with the above comment Stewart worst player to have ever worn the shirt, pub player at the best. What the hell did BMc see in him?

Agree4 Disagree2

Here here I agree with that, Stewart is a disgrace, creates nothing, can't get past anyone, crap at Hull, and Charlton, go find a non league club or a pub team, if they will have you.

Agree2 Disagree0

Today is Monday mate?

Agree0 Disagree0

And which Monday in particular would this be then?

This Monday, next Monday, sometime never Monday?

Lets just wait and see.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's all gone very quiet.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Feb 2014 18:33:46
some Monday in the not too distant future. I HOPE

Agree0 Disagree0

Today is yesterday tomorrow

Agree1 Disagree0

So. We r still waiting

Agree0 Disagree0

I heard that is been finalized, any accurate information would be nice
