ive heard on the grapevine today that if norwich get relegated this season that leeds will try and bring bradley johnson back to the club, we could do with someone like him to help rudy out in midfield the poor lad carnt do it all is self

Can do better than Johnson and Austin needs to go

Rudy can't do it at all, that's been part of the problem this season

Help him out? Try replace him. Rudy is finished.

Too many words at the end pal. Need to remove 'all is self' and you'd be spot on.

What about Snodgrass instead?

Would rather have snodgrass without a doubt but this is just what I heard

Would love Howson back as well MOT

No no no no no.

Austin is awful! league 1 at best! anyway while we are at it bring howson back with the other traitors! lol, AIM HIGHER AND BUY BETTER! Markymafia

Austin would do a vinny jones job if he had DECENT midfielders round him, can't pass, can't defend but will ruffle a few feathers in the middle of the park ;)

I remember the days when Bradley played for Leeds and the majority of fans on these forums were slagging him off. How times change!

I can't believe this rumour has any legs whatsoever, I was a fan of Bradley when he was here, thought he could make the step up with ease, I was wrong.

He's struggled to get 90 mins at the worst team in the Premier League, not what we should be looking for.

Would no doubt prove a good purchase at this level, and is better than what we have, but would get shipped out as soon as we go up. No point changing the team after getting promoted, we need players now that will keep us in the prem, not just get us there

Never get back old players where moving forward now, listend to the game last night I can, t believe players can be so bad seems like they have given up trying . any way i'm new on here, been reading on this site for months now brill site ed keep it up .

{Ed013's Note - Thanks buddy}

Hi all eds where on earth did this report come from regarding the tax debt why on earth is this another debt those people gfh have landed us with yet again do you guys know if there's anymore to come out and if not what is our total debt to this moment owing bloody blood sucking gfh parasites please massimo buy the rest of the shares THEN JUST TELL GFH TO DO ONE
HALF MILLION £ we owe geez parasites sooner they go better
KEEP UP GREAT JOB YOU GUYS
REGARDS
LEEDS for life MOT

{Ed013's Note - It wouldn't surprise me if there was more debt hiding, but lets not forget Massimo knows how to run a club properly and will soon fish these clowns out. You couldn't write it could you, the HMRC issue a winding up order on the 1st April (April Fools) to Leeds for the unpaid 500K, Cellino pays it on the first day in Leeds as the owner! If I could offer him any advice at all, it would be to get the remaining 25% as GFH and their shareholders will just keep milking the club}

HELP Rudi? Rudi will be nowhere near the first team next year. But Bradley is more than welcome to replace him. Chapel A

Austin's not bad but he's just a defensive midfielder we need creativity Johnson's in the same mold as Austin 2 of them in midfield wouldn't work I'd take howson back tomorrow though and snoddy maybe even becchio

Totally agree their with you on that bud!thought captain Birdseye was a joker but by god he's a saint By comparison! Have you spoken to massimo at all if so what's you're honest take on him as of now I just can't believe he has just been so positive towards LEEDS after all that keeps happening as a negative he turns into positive . let us know you're opinion bud cheers wingy

{Ed013's Note - I haven't mate, I wish I could have gotten to the Old Peacock earlier for a pint, but had to work}

We offloaded Johnson because he wasnt consistent, couldn't hit the target and was generally below par. He has done the same for Norwich this season and their strikers haven't received the ball. Why. cus the likes of Johnson in midfield haven't been effective in distribution. And you think its a great idea to get him back! 'Unbelieveable'

So it was true heard on the radio station that's all football chat ( you know the one) they mentioned it I wonder if any of our regular readers were their maybe they give us the low down we're you their mad Mick? Jeff? Or anyone thanks in advance

Jeff was sat in his fav Italian restaurant waiting for MC ;)

Mcdermott, finished off austin when he took the captains armband off him you don't manage like that

{Ed013's Note - Austin asked for it to be removed}

We don't want money grabbing traitors back at Leeds. Certain players left us in the thermal

Cant see how ANY players will be coming in. FFP says NO DEBT over 8 million, and that's if MC is prepared to "Buy" 5 million of equity, to get debt down to 3.
Currently LUFC debt ( according to Companies House ) is in excess of 30 million. So basically somehow LUFC have to pay in excess of 22 million, just so that MC can pay a further 5 for compliance. Otherwise transfer embargo is inevitable.

Like Ed states I'm sure M C is uncovering hidden debt, one thing for sure he will tell us and as ED comments he does know how to run a football club .
M C comes across as a straight talker I would imagine he has already made a list of players that he will eject .
MOT

But if there is a "Transfer Embargo" that works both ways, in AND out. Only ones who will move out are those not under contract.

{Ed003's Note - any embargo will only be forced on clubs from January 2015.}

ED,

That's not the case if the FFP rules are amended ( as seems likely from Tuesdays Championship teams meeting ).

Its from end of season that is current.

{Ed003's Note - i was under the impression that it is only figures being amended because parachute payments are rising mate.}

Yawn. I suppose we're also after Beckford and Becchio as well?

Id have Becchio too

Stuff johnson and the rest of the carrot crunchers, austins a good player, just needs support, on and off the pitch
