Ed is there a definitely a new home kit out this season? If so how do u know coz they usually bring it out before the season ends. {Ed015's Note - Yes there is, wish it would bloody hurry up aswell! and no idea when its out, during pre-season im guessing.... rather unusual for leeds}

My mate went into the shop a few weeks ago asking about it and he got told that they are just waiting for a sponsor.

Same thing happened when Red Kite ended up sponsoring shirts

Its an all black kit lol

We didnt bring the new kit out at the end of the season because we were away. You dont get the publicity as if it was at home.

People are just deseprate to believe theirs something big going down, when in reality their isnt anything.
I think he;s holding it back for the pre season friendly with Newcastle. Should shift a few and put money on the doors with extra arses on seats that wouldnt have usually gone. Bates isnt thick

On Twitter 'TransferTalk_11' have posted that Jonathon Woodgate is to sign for a Championship club. Possibly Leeds after all the speculation.

More likely Leicester with all the cash they're spunking out. and Sven rates him.

It is going to be Leicester

Agreed, they seem to be doing a Man City and hoping to get all the players just because they have the money

Could be Leeds, but Woodgate is a middleboro supporter and did really well for them in his time there. I was looking at his career stats, and even when he was at leeds, he never played a full season, never played more than 30 games, i think he needs a good preseason and a good run of football. Leeds would be ideal with the medical team here, Harvey Sharman has done great with getting kisbo back.

Hes a crock and would simply be on the treatment table all season whilst draining wages we cant afford to loose. We need a player thats more reliable to survive this season. Look at it this way Boro is his home, and his team, if he drops down he's more likely to play for them then he is us. Say he owes us all you like, he doesnt owe us anything. We sold him and he didnt want to leave, why would he return? If your looking at it materially then he;ll go to a club that can pay much higher wages than we can. Stop dwelling on past players returning, we need young hungry lads to take us forward not a drain on our finances.

Leeds united are in talks with unamed players and will be announced this week

Bowyer
Smith
Woodgate
Maik Taylor are in the frame.

Hmmm believe it when i see/hear it

Give up already its the same three names, what is the likeliness we'll get all three? We would struggle too pay one of them the wages their after on our budget Enter reality people

Loving the "unamed players"...

Reminds me of the pre-season game away at York a few years ago when they scored a goal and the announcer stated it was scored by "Mr X - The Trialist"

Smith? Woodgate? The treatment room will be fully occupied then.

Aron Gunnarsson to sign 1st july out of contract at CCFC.

27 Jun 2011 20:38:03
Shay given not a chance think about it, man city will defo want a call back clause in the contract then where would we be, whoever comes in will be permanent smithies I hope he is class.

27 Jun 2011 20:12:45
Ali Al-Habsi from Bolton. Simon reckons he is World Class keeper in the making and is going to stretch the boat finance wise to get him. Fact. {Ed015's Note - Wont happen}

Can't believe how many ppl on here know grayson-its Simon this Simon that Simon rates this player. Grayson should be sacked for spouting his mouth off to you all. What's that oh you made it up

Wigan can't afford the 4m to get him so wegot no chance

27 Jun 2011 19:48:57
shay given to be our number 1 on a season long loan

I just can t see this one happening

Shay Givens wages would make Bates spill his green tea all over his beard. No chance im afraid. Would be quality tho

27 Jun 2011 19:44:38
hey anyone know when i can apply for Southampton tickets? {Ed015's Note - check Leeds webite}

If you look under 'tickets' on the official site theres nothing up yet except details for the Newcastle friendly and the Bradford City match.

27 Jun 2011 18:52:25
A mate of mine was at a sports dinner over the weekend and said there was a football agent cant remember his name sat on his table. He claims leeds new goalkeeper will be Marton fullop who i beleive is at Ipswich. Is he any good ? i know he was at Sunderland. {Ed015's Note - abit past it, not sure if hes still at ipswich}

A bit past it Ed? He's only 28 {Ed015's Note - i never meant in age, he isnt the quality he used to be}

27 Jun 2011 18:38:20
Anyone else think that Leeds haven't released details about the new kit, due to them waiting for a big signing (or two) coming in to model it?

Or is it purely down to not having a sponsor yet?

Theirs no Sponsor and deffo no huge signing. At the mo we showing no sign of Ambition....
But this week should reveal all....M.O.T

Might be something 2 do with them not having a new kit this season {Ed015's Note - we do havea new home kit this season}

No 'Big' signing will be coming to model it, Jeez {Ed015's Note - i duno... ild love to see a few footballers wifes in my leeds kit ;) }

Their is no conspiracy behind it, the simple fact is we haven't got a sponsor. People are looking too deep into it, because they want something to happen. It won't

I thought NetFlights had another year? (Ed. can you confirm?) {Ed001's Note - I can't be 100% as they could have negotiated an extension, but the initial deal was a 3 year deal signed in 2008.}

Netflights were bought our by Thomas Cook. They are negotiating to take over the shirt sponsorship, but they want they Club Travel arrangements too. Ken is reluctant to give this up, as its very profitable A compromise will be reached and a deal will be done Worry Not. MOT

Was in club shop last week & was told by staff still waiting for new sponsor

{Ed015's Note - i duno... ild love to see a few footballers wifes in my leeds kit ;) }

I bet you would ;)

ed has king been released by birmingham??(marlon) {Ed015's Note - He only just signed for them..... wrong forum aswell}

27 Jun 2011 17:20:46
Concerned of Leeds
Dear Dedrie I'm afraid my club is falling apart it's chairman is abusing it's kinfolk and selling off anybody who is worth any money. The manager seems 2 either b scared of said chairman and players laugh when we tell them how much they can earn at our club
Please help us b4 it's 2 L8 {Ed015's Note - we have sold 1 goalkeeper....not exactly a disaster}

Has the season started yet without me knowing, why not get off everyones back and lets see what happens at crunch, kick off start of season, we are leeds

Get a grip tranfer window hasnt even started yet we get 2 month to strenghen the squad calm down n be patiant

What a nugget what time u due back in the padded cell.......

He will only sell players he is willing to replace and strengthen. Bates know's that he can get more money if we go up so he will look to get the squad stronger the promtion race this season coming.

27 Jun 2011 17:02:25
this coming season is massive for leeds, we will see if bates and grayson have any real ambition with the sort of players they sign, and must keep Gradel

The rewards for going up are vast , up to 90 mill for a club like Leeds . Bates should spend to ensure quality players to get us promotion and then the money will roll in.

27 Jun 2011 13:49:40
ed whats the latest news??

deakko MOT {Ed015's Note - Kasper has left and Gradel is stil linked with a 2mil - 2.5mil move to west ham, nothing else to report, sorry guys, been a quite day here in west yorkshire}

Gradel wont go that cheap. He's a quality player in my opinion one of the best. We rejected 3.5Mil for Snoddy, cant see Gradel going for less.

27 Jun 2011 16:40:16
Don't shoot the messinger rumours in wales is grayson has put in an offer for steve mcphail to return to elland road and enquired about mark hudson centre back

27 Jun 2011 16:24:11
Kasper having medical at leicester on sky sports news, mot

He's in Denmark. {Ed015's Note - He has signed a 3year deal with leicester}

27 Jun 2011 14:28:28
What a load of rubbish, nothing in the sun about snodgrass, will go Newcastle tho, 4.5 mil and pay smiths wages 4 a aeason

Lol yeah right
what do you think ed? {Ed015's Note - not a chance}

Snoddy wont go for less than 8 mil and newcastle have said smith can join us on a free

27 Jun 2011 11:17:35
Snodgrass signing for Newcastle for £4.000.000 rumoured to be three year deal being offered.

Yeah right

So why would we turn down 5 million from Norwich and accept less from Newcastle then??

What a load of BS. Leeds put an £8,000,000 price tag on his head.

Leeds have put an £8m+ price tag on Snodgrass.

Snodgrass have been valued at £8 million - so why would they sell him for £4m?

What's your source?

If he does I'd wager that Smith will be coming the other way

I thought that Norwich only offered £3.5m

No way

We didn't reject 5million. We rejected 3.5 million.

If we were offered 5million the majority up front there's no way Bates would turn that down when he's only got a year left on his contract. 8mil price tag was just paper talk.

Been on Sky, you might not want it to happen and that's understandable, but it seems Leeds don't have the money some of you seem to think they have.As in all these things there's no smoke without fire.Get used to it.

6 million at a very minimum with 8 the more likely. The only way this deal would possibly go through if alan smith came to us for free and newcastle paid his wages MOT

I Believe it was £3.5million bid we turned down from not £5million
The £8million price tag is just as much a rumour as him going to Newcastle. I think Bates would sell for £4-5million to be honest

Been on sky? funny as i have there transfer clockwatch open and have done all day and haven't once seen this on there.

someone else posting rumours that are just that.

Leeds will except 4m for a player with only 1 year on his contract. We're a selling club at the moment. Delph went and we could not afford to keep Beckford

Pretty sure Snoddy has 2 years left on his contract.

Snodgrass will stay so shut your trap #
from your loving chairmen Ken Bates

27 Jun 2011 00:11:57
Leeds to sign one of these 3 goalkeepers,

Fraser Forster, Alex Smithies, Thomas Kuzszack. Hope it's Forster.

Forster 2nd choice for me, I'd love smithies to sign for us, he's brilliant and his value will triple in a couple of years time.

I agree with the above, but he costs already triple the amount we are willing to pay.

Apparently its Smithies

Alex smithies dad is a teacher at my brothers high school in dewsbury. apparently smithies is looking to stay in yourkshire with leeds his preferred desitination. and that is from his dads mouth... thornhill community science college is the school he works at FACT

Yeah i've heard that too, my mates dad head of englishthere and his dad says he's in promising talks with leeds
