Hearing we are trying to get Vaz Te from the spammers, hope it comes off would be the best wide player in the division

Hes a striker, so would not make best wide player.

Played wide right for west ham when they went up. Played wide left for Barnsley the day he took the pi$$ out off all our back line very bad day. Just because he's a striker on FIFA doesn't mean it's fact. Better playing wide in a 4 3 3 formation though

Are u mad what tom ince from blackpool he's miles beta and mark phillips at that point and i'm not even a blackpool fan

Matt Philips pal

A Headless chicken had one good season usually fails to deliver the final ball, from what I have seen of him let Wet Spam keep him! #MOT

Matt Phillips won't be playing in championship next year neither will Tom ince

Matt phillips has always been a quality player, jeeze some people are so jelous

Vaz te is a complete donkey! Played well against us at Barnsley and that is it! He scored a jammy goal for west ham in the play off final and that's it. Best wide player in the league? Give me a break!

What about Mike Phillips, let's sign him.

He won't be coming here.

Say what you want about him fact of the matter is we just won't b getting him pl team and wages how can we compete cumon get real

Wish he was coming to us but there's no chance whatsoever as we can't afford him even on loan

Ever since he spooned that goal a couple of seasons back and the ran back to the kop to celebrate I've hated him

I would happily take Vaz Te -and can play wide. Chapel A

More information about the Red bull sponsorship. As Leeds united do not currently own the Elland Road stadium, my connections have told me that Red Bull will buy the stadium back for us, then the stadium will be called the Red bull arena. Also I have been told that they wanted to buy into the name as well but I am unsure if the club want to let that go ahead, personally I would be happy for that to happen, what do you think?

Needs to happen ASAP

Of course not -it doesn't happen, nor should it, in this country. We've already covered it on here -Manchester Ethihad, Arsenal Emirates, Newcastle Direct. ? Don't be so ridiculous. Chapel A

Not allowed to happen in England unless a company buys a club and starts from non league.

Of course it can happen! Like I said, I am not sure about the Naming of the club but it would be great to have Elland Road changed to The Red Bull stadium/arena.

If they touch the name or the badge or the white kit there will be hell on

Red bull don't sponsor clubs, they move in and completely suck the soul out of clubs . If you want lufc to become lrb. They obliterate a clubs history, no consideration for the sensibilities of the fans or local communities generally. Be careful what you wish for.

For those claiming a new owner can not rename without dropping out of the football league a reminder - MK Dons! However there may be league rules banning commercial naming of a club, (eg Leeds Red Bull). They hit this stumbling block in Germany but got round it by naming the club 'Rasen Ballsport Leipzig' which translates as lawn ballsports - which quite frankly means nothing but it meant they could call the club RB Leipzig. As for the kit and badge all of their clubs wear exactly the same kit with identical badges. Hopefully the deal is for stadium rights only

I'm sure the FA's rules regarding renaming of a football club were changed to prevent it ever happening again in Britain after the Wimbledon/MK Dons fiasco.

Cardiff City are the most recent case where a takeover has resulted in an upheaval of traditions and cultural qualities within a club (now play at home in red - not their traditional blue; had their badge changed;). But the name has not been changed!

I live 20 miles from Cardiff, so most of my mates are "Bluebirds" (or RedBlueDragonBirds if I want to annoy them) who swore never to attend another game when the changes were made (yet most of them still bought a season ticket). They were adament that it tore the life and soul out of the club. Others were all for the change and over the moon at having investment that could fulfil their Premier League ambitions.

I was happy as a pig is s**t at all the upheaval, they are to me the only team that par with the Red Scum. I'm eating huimble pie now!

What I'm saying is, I'm sure the name cannnot be changed, but if we do have significant investment, I think I'd be willing to compromise on kit colour/stadium name/badge change in lieu of Premier League football.

Wots everybody moaning at? Is there any concrete evidence of red bull even wanting to buy elland road or into leeds?

Find it fairly shocking that most Leeds fans would sacrifice decades of Leeds United/Elland Road history for a quick fix to our current financial situation.

Not usually one to say anything till confirmed but a lot of rumours kicking around about a huge announcement to be made tonight from ER.

Bull (red)!

Must be pretty big since no press have been informed.

Its the new store in the trinity centre

Its strongbow

25 Jul 2013 20:30:20
Strongbow returns!

Hardly huge news if bein honest.

Give the owners a chance will you they have done well so far in my opinion rome wasnt built in a day

No Rome was indeed built in many bloody decades even centuries. but I for one don't want to wait that long for Leeds United to be in the Premiership.

Who said owt about waiting that long to get back in the prem best thing we can all do as fans is get behind the manager no excuses not to be there for the brighton game

25 Jul 2013 14:47:37
Leeds not to sign anyone until any of the Leeds players leave the club which looks very unlikely for now.

Did we all not know this?
I personally think that we will try to get Mills in b4 next week but because we have been taken over by a bunch of tools, we probably won't.

Leigh Bromby has just left the playing staff!

I didn't even know he was still playing staff, totally forgot about him. Don't think I want to know who else we still have on the books as playing staff.

Is it any wonder gfh keep quiet when all fans do is abuse them stop slagging the owners of and start getting behind this great club we need the fans back at elland road

25 Jul 2013 13:04:41
Leigh Bromby has retired due to a knee injury on medical advice, source - TV. does this count as part of the rumoured 1 out 1 in story? MOT

I doubt it counts towards that, I though he was already just a coach without playing anyway

It would release his wages at least.

Agree with the 1st reply, would imagine his wages have been downgraded now he, s not playing to his new role of U 16, s coach.

Just like to say thanks to bromby=always came in and did a good job for us. {Ed013's Note - The goal he scored at Stockport was class}
