leeds united....
just seen on the sky sports website rotherham have rejected a bid of £200,000 for adam le fondre, because they want £250,000 minimum, im assuming that le fondre will be on around £2,000 maximum per week, now, given our injury problems would it not make sense to simon grayson to go to ken bates and say, I WANT LE FONDRE, proven goalscorer 50 goals in his last 2 seasons, low wages, and low signing fee.... does this make sense to anyone else?? go get him simon, he is young, ambitious, lively, quick and scores goals for fun, leeds4life

Coudn't agree more... he has all the attributes Paynter doesn't

We need players that are gna be good enough for the premiership not league 1/2 players
Agree0

If we can get players who are good enough to get us back to prem, then why not. We can allways sell em on, probably at a profit. Theres no loyalty in football anymore.
Agree0

Good goalscorer but very lazy like beckford and rarely defends
Agree0
Disagree0
They publicly stated that they want £1.5m
personally I think £600-£700k would secure but that's too much for a L2 player
Agree0
Disagree0
Regarding the reply to my post above, you say we need players good enough for the prem, not league 1/2, in case you hadnt noticed, we are not in the prem and lower league players generally have more to prove moving up a league, and given the FACT the lad has scored over 50 goals in 2 seasons we should be doing our best to get him, he has everything we need, and we have the players round him to supply the chances, HE KNOWS WHERE THE NET IS remember beckford came from a lower league look how well he did for us. leeds4life
Agree0

I've seen Rotherham many times over the last few seasons as my dad is a Millers fan, and I am VERY unimpressed with Le Fondre. He is slow and dumpy with a bad attitude, he basically went on strike for the last half of last season and scored next to nothing. He is nowhere near good enough for the Championship.
Agree0
Disagree0
Makes sense to me given limited finances, best thing to do is pick up good players with potential from L1 and L2 rather than past it players from Premier.
Agree0
Disagree0
I think Adam Le Fondre would be a decent gamble i know he's league 2 but where did Beckford come alot lower than league 2 and he banged goal in for us left right and centre

And when will he be match fit? You know what pre-season is for right? Well he didn't do one, in fact he has been carrying an injury since the end of last season so has not trained properly for 5 months. Anyway fingers crossed cos he is the only proven striker we have.

As everybody forgot your only allowed 5 subs this term. Yes true enough you need a good team to start with but i feel most squads will be evened up as long as their players are fit. So come on and put all these gloomy issues to one side and focus on the season ahead. Yipppeeee the football season is starting again.

Think your dead right and when Sven picks his team and then realises that most of the signings he made were to just try and look good, cos to be honest most of them went for money and prob couldnt give a t**ss if leicester got promoted or not so didnt derserve to wear the mighy whites shirt, Super Leeds

I agree, once again our beloved club was sold down the swanny by some scummy businessmen who just didn't care about the club. We need a chairman like Bill Kenwright, just a Yorkshire version not a scally obviously.

Truly unbelievable You clueless people please leave our club alone. We don't want you bates haters. Oh and by the way person above, Kenwright is even less popular at everton than Bates is here.

Surely we must be getting at least 3 signings if not 4 in the next few days
We need a left back, central defender, holding midfielder and a loan striker
We play Southampton next week and the squad is very thin
Why hasnt Grayson sorted the defence out, that was our main problem last season, leaking goal after goal.
Will Paddy be injury free most of the season ? We will have to wait and see
Bates states 3 weeks ago we are getting 4 new players in, where are they then ?
Yes i know the window will still be open, but the sooner we get them in the better.
We need a good start as this season, as it will be harder than last years

Why is grayson waiting for the premier league teams to name there squads so he can sign average loan players again i hope we dont go that way again cant he remember what happended last season with the joke signings we made brown mccartney livermore bannan

Bannan? We had him for like a month, he's a good player who was a regular in the villa side last year
Agree0

Bannan is a grate player Grayson never gave him the chance
Agree0

He is not great for Leeds because he is the wrong sort of player. Even G. McCallister said he was poor defensively. How many more attacking mid fielders do we want?
Agree0

Bannan was quality, and McCartney wasn't too bad

Heard that we are interested in spurs midfielder Jake livermore. Dunno why he was rubbish last season I thought
Believable7
Unbelievable7
I thought he was alright, just got a few too many yellow cards ?
Agree0
Disagree0
I thought his first appearance when he came off the bench, he showed a few touches, looked strong and i thought, this is who leeds are needing in the team. but then every game he played after that, he was sloppy, gave the ball away, and did not look very intelligent on the ball. Basically he was crap. Must have some quality tho as he is a Tottenham Hotspur player in the premiership. I didnt rate him whatsoever tho. Barry Bannan played that game against Forest and i thought he was like Bremner, He controlled the whole game. Grayson never played him again after that, and when he left he slammed grayson for wasting his time insisting he would have got more game time at Villa. Which he was right about. Ever since he did that eveyone has slagged bannan off saying he was terrible. I only saw quality. Livermore however was poor.
Agree0
Disagree0
Both Bannon and Livermore were poor for Leeds mainly because they were not the type of player we needed at the time and now for that matter. Too many mid fielders doing the same sort of job. You can only play so many. We need ball winners as well.
