Reports in Spain saying Spain u21 LW Alfonso Pedraza set to sign on loan from Villarreal with a €10m permanent option. They are cancelling his loan with Lugo so we can get him. 6 goals 8 assists in La Liga 2 this season.

20 year old Swedish right back Linus Wahlqvist has been left out of the starting line up at Shakjtar Donetsk and rumors are linking him with a possible move to Leeds. Apparently we 'tried' to sign him in the summer (don't remember that myself - eds? ) . Don't know if he's up to much but if he's half the player that Pontus is.

Don't need another right back, aylling, berardi and coyle. How many more?

Can see berardi moving to left back as cover for Taylor, so just ayling and coyle as right backs, I'd take the signing in a heartbeat, much better than coyle right now.

As a child of the 70's I loved the FA Cup but now it is becoming to mean as much to me as an international break. Today was either GM making a point to the owners or more scarily GM saying I can afford injuries as there are no more players coming in.

I have hope for Coyle and Denton and in fairness whilst the 3 debutants did not pull up any trees they did OK in a poor all round team performance.
Grimes is awful but he will not get near the first team thankfully. Doukara played as thought he didn't want to be there , while Dallas should not have been subject to that.

The worry is the lack of quality and class shown by Antonson, Cooper and Phillips.
Let's hope nothing happens to Wood, Bridcutt or Kyle & Pontus.
The only positive thing to come out of this weekend is Derby and the dog botherers still being involved in the competition.

The FA Cup is an after thought due to overseas interest. No one wants to win it any more because it's worth nothing compared to the Champions League, which annoys me. But on a weekend when Liverpool went out as well as the top 2 in the championship all to lower league sides, it's given us the chance to slink out the tournament without too much notice. It bothers me but not as much as we've a tad more to play for this time around. Cooper should never see a Leeds shirt again, I said that the day after he signed for us. Debuts are what they are, some are good, some are bad some are indifferent. Coyle weren't all that good today but was awesome vs Derby. I agree about Grimes, terrible player who has no business at our level. I'd cut short his loan and forget he was ever here. Malik Wilkes can't be judged due to circumstances out of his hands, fair play to the kid for even showing up. It's not panic zones yet by a long chalk, 3 new signings before Tuesdays deadline and a win against Blackburn and Huddersfield and we'll be all asking "Sutton who? "

Today so performance sums up why we don't play 4-4-2, we only have 1 able striker in this team and he wasn't even at the game today. So no idea what monk was thinking playing with 2, a very below average performance from everybody but Silvestri for me. Never mind fewer games sonmore rest time. I'm just glad that there were none of our big stars out there starting that game today otherwise we'd be in trouble. Definitely 2/3 new players ASAP.

Silvestri was totally at fault for their goal. No need to be out there. Every game he plays he ruins all his good shot stopping with a moment of complete idiocy.

Silvestri proving again how hopeless he is. And still some people think he should be our No.1? Think again.

Judging by Monk's response to questions about recruitment. We aren't getting anyone.
