Leeds are looking at Jason Koumas, the ex Wigan midfielder is available on a free transfer.

Would be a good signing imho. MOT.

Koumas would be a great free signing but the wages would sadly put pay to any hope of him coming to us. We don't want to pay a decent Championship wage let alone premier league money

Not sure, isn't Koumas more of an attacking MF, we need a defensive minded MF to back up the defence wich is weak at times.

Is there any source or is this just more pure speculation?

Leeds need a more defensive minded MF IMO, whic h Koumas isn't. We cant have all attacking players and no back bone. I mean ok we have Brown, but he's old, Clayton ok but rest are attacking minded.

He is our biggest source isn't he that Pure Speculation character.

Leeds to sign Hogan Ephraim and Danny Pugh on loan before the Palace game

Would love to see him at Leeds i think he would fill max's spot nicely, he did well Last season and has promotion under his belt, Hope hope hope!

Tom Soares has had a medical at Leeds, source the man himself (twitter) . . .


@TomSoares8Tom Soares

just got the medical to go at #lufc and it will all be sorted. #newbeginnings

Is this another fake Tom soares twitter? The same one that claimed he was going through a medical etc ages ago?

Is a fake account mate. He said that he was signing for Leeds about 3 months ago

Is this just anotha bullsh@t post or do you have proof?

Original poster here, its on twitter, but just realised that was from july. oops my bad, still could be on the cards? i mean maybe we couldnt agree a fee back then, not to say all is dead and burried, loan a possibility?

Not happening mate. I can assure you it's a fake account. It was "outed" by a few people back when the tweet was made. would of been a decent player, but its not him.

Didn't the Stoke press officer come out and say that it's a fake account

Just don't get this one.
A player who has played just 7 times for his club in 3 years and been loaned out a couple of times to strugglng clubs.
If he were any good better championship clubs would have been after him.
Not good enough for us!

TS not the player we need - hasn't played competitively for 3yrs as "above comment" only league cup - loaned out to the Wendy's played poor...! never been the same player since leaving Palace as a promising youngster..

Maybe Grayson can see something, pulling that white shirt on may transform him into a world beater

Didn't Man City say that about Clayton?

‎Simon Grayson just confirmed today he has spoken to Stoke about the possibility of bring Danny Pugh to the club on loan. no timeframe yet though.

Forssell has signed :)

A good signing IMO. That must be nail in the coffin (or shud i say barn door?) for Billy, he will be released or loaned.

forrsell on loan... done

Perm til end of season. cant loan a free agent

Yeah person Free agent a perm contract until the end of the Season

More b******* being spouted....cant loan a free agent you tosser!

Get F***** why are you so mad it's not bulls**t, the first report i read about it said, season long loan, it was obviously inaccurate because they hadn't stated that he was a free agent and believed he was playing in Germany. He's at the club none the less for the remainder of the season. I only come to post real signings/loans, speak out of tone again and I will dominate your soul

New United signing Mikael Forssell is hoping his "hunger for goals" will provide added ammunition in the club's quest for Championship success.

The 30-year-old former Birmingham and Chelsea forward has signed a deal until the end of the season at Elland Road.

I'm delighted," said the striker. "I'd had three good years in Germany with Hannover, but I've missed English football and I really wanted to come back here.

Good news. certainly was a good player. Its not all gloom and doom. Get behind the team and stop whinging about the chairman. If he goes whos got the tens of millions the fans expect us to spend! we cant magic money out of no whee. If all those moaning can put their hands in their pockets and spend a couple of million then do so! Its tedious and does the team and the club no favours. It doesnt matter what you think of Bates as a person, he is the one in charge and we have a solvent club. We are not Arsenal with milions sat in the bank. We have a decent team, and even losing Max we can still compete in this division. Surely there should be some question marks over Grayson. A number of poor signings; Bessone, Paynter, Collins, the Danish goalkeeper!, Bannon etc etc.
get behind the boys MOT!!

Not my first area that would require strengthening, but fair play to the lad and I'm 110% behind him, or anyone else that wears the white (or black) of Leeds United. {Ed045's Note - here here.

Has to be better than Paynter in my eyes!, Some goalkeepers score more than him

Snodgrass was to be sold b4 the tranfer window but it was too late to be signed off n will go in jan 2.5 mil. Howson is still waiting on a new deal but may go if new players don't come in jan

Don't you spout a load of rubbish...snoddy is going nowhere and neither is howson.

people who spout rubbish like this should be banned from sites like this as all they post is lies!

2.5 million!? Your having a laugh right? He was valued at 8m last time anyone asked bates about him been sold!

Why would we reject 5m and then sell him for 2.5m?
Snods will stop, he didn't show enough consitency last season to warrant his 8m price tag. Howson will stop too.
Next piece of rubbish from somebody talking out of their backside?

Was the original post a leeds fan? if so u obviously dont follow leeds at all. we reject 5 million and reports suggest blackburn bid 6.3 million on deadline day. so we reject them and sell in 4 months for 2.5 million??

Firstly i think this post is utter nonsense and you couldnt be further from the truth mate!

however, everyone that replied saying "Snodgrass was valued at £8m" and "why would we turn down £5m n then accept £2.5m£.......................dare i mention a one Max Gradel?! firstly we turned down an estimated £4m n ended up seeling him for closer to £3m and secondly bates/Grayson said they wouldnt entertain bids of less than £10m.

Say no more

To the guy who posted last re: gradel went for lower than what we had previously turned down. You are correct he did but Max had been wanting out for a while saying this club and that club are interested in him etc he even used an excuse that he wanted to go home just so we would sell him to the club that obviously offered him the most money. Snoddy hasn't came out and spoke about any clubs after him or hasn't been making and noises about leaving and his contract isn't up at the end of this season.

To the reply of my original post lol!..

yeh i agree totally and like i said in the opening line i think the poster couldnt be more wrong with this post. however, the point i was making is that price tags and loyalty in football are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard as money talks, and when you have Ken Bates in charge money seems to talk louder than everywhere else!

i don't think Snoddy will go as i think he is very happy at Leeds and has never stated he wants to go home (Scotland) or anything! but again, i agree with what your saying pal
