Leeds Rumours Archive July 09 2013

Bids for Reece Wabarba, Gary Mackay-Stephen and Max Clayton have been placed.

If we can sign them 3 young very talented players, we will have one of the best teams in champo if i'm honest. The team is already half decent jus need youth and exuberance! COME ON YOU WHITES

Tag on chris forester to that list, and with the three we already have I for one would be well excited for the mighty whites over the next couple seasons, it's been along time coming, I have supported Leeds since I was six, Iam fifty this year and the last ten years or so have been painful.

Reece wabara sounds a great player but I think if we gave lee peltier a chance at rb and push byram to rm we would need a solid cb and use Pearce as backup max clayton and Mackay steven will be fantastic signings. MOT. We're going UP

No chance with max

Would be happy with any of those 3, young & up and coming players, would really excite us fans.

If we are going to get a defender, I'd rather get a taller and more experienced CB than Wabara.

I posted about Clayton a while back, hopefully Murphy has told bri all about him

Whats so good about Clayton? rather give the lads in our own youth set up a go. Poleon, Walters and Parkin. Claytons been given a lot of chances by Creeand not shown out special really has he? And reading reports on Walters and Parkin and seeing Polean play, we have cracking potential up top.

Just finished an interesting conversation with a Leeds fan, who I've not been in contact with for years. He apparently knows someone from LUFC press office, who say we are about to sign a player from Port Vale. but the trouble is, there's a potential headache to sort out for the press team as this guy is a Manchester United fan. sounds like the aim is to play this down and make light of it in the media. Tried Googling "Port Vale player Manchester Utd fan" but no luck. Anyone any ideas. plus could you cope with a Manchester United fan playing for us?

Berty

Matt mills linked with us is a Manchester United fan but he plays for bolton. one of his heros is a mr e. cantona

*cough* Gary McAllister

Tom Pope would be the only player port vale have who would be getting watched by clubs in a higher league.

Tom Pope?

Gerry Mc

Come on mate half our kids team wet dream at the thaught of watching play

Ermmmm. Adam Le Fondre is a big Manchester United (if you'll pardon the expression) supporter and nobody seems to care if they have noticed.

It really doesn't matter. We do some missionary work on any Man U supporters among the players, explaining politely but firmly that there's only one United and they play in white.

Problem solved! :D

Tom Pope is manchester utd fan league 2 top scorer

Why would been a Man U fan make a difference? And we've have Man U fans play for us before doesn't make a difference, clearly chatting s***

Tom Pope striker from port vale

Jennison Myrie-Williams plays for Port Vale and supports them!

A native of Stoke-on-Trent, Pope grew up as a Port Vale supporter. [64] He is an accomplished amateur golfer, having reached the quarter-finals of Stoke-on-Trent's Sentinel Shield competition. [65] He wears contact lenses. [66] He is a darts fan. [16]

Of course it doesn't matter. the love for your club is always more important than hate for another. I couldn't care less what team players support if they get us promoted

First reply here it is ALF whos the Manchester United fan not matt mills sorry guys

What a stupid thing to say. Being a man U fan should have no bearing at all

We’ve already got a Manchester United fan playing for us. Simon Lenighan. And that’s true!

. Question is how many Manchester United Players are Leeds United fans?

Aaron lennon was a big Manchester United fan

Aaron Lennon's brother was a Man U fan, he wasn't

I couldn't give a damn which club any of our staff habitually support. Jack Charlton is a life long Newcastle supporter (for very obvious reasons) and that didn't prevent him being the linchpin of Revie's team for 20 years. I don't think that his commitment to the white shirt was ever questioned. PK

Paddy Kenny is a Manchester United fan.

Santa is a Leeds fan, Santa is a Leeds fan. Doesn't stop him making the occasional trip to Surrey to drop off ugly Manc shirts for the good little home-counties plastics

Dont u think that regardless of who a player likes to dream of playing for or supports. If he joins Leeds Utd its the fans support and affection for him that will easily turn him into a true loyal white. Only we can achieve that!

Its Tom Pope

What a ridiculous and, if you'll forgive the directness, childish question. These guys are professionals, for Chrissakes; who they supported when they were kids, and what they get up to now in their own free time is their own business. All I care about is whether they are good enough; and the bottom line for them is their own performance. End of. Chapel A

I heard off a good source there is meant to be some American investment coming in pretty soon, paying £13 million up front.

He also has said money isn't a issue signing players it's just there wages.

I heard something alone the lines of this the other day

Been rumours of incoming investment for weeks/months, but nothings happened.

American company have announced plans to buy Hearts. Could this be what you heard?

Hope this has wings

These things can take time.
Again, predicting that we're signing a sponsorship deal including naming rights, hinged on the purchase of Elland Road.
Wouldn't be surprised if Pappa Smurf was the owner of Elland Road. Must be some reason he was made club President.
It's a decision that would be a bit like Hu Jintao becoming president of Europe.

My mate L woods is good mates with and lufc player not travelling, was in the gym yesterday and player said if u bench 150 I'll giv u some inside info. He did. And was told that lufc have booked tickets for 46 staff flyin out, and 47 coming home. Someone will be linking up with team this week. Mot

Explains why we we've gone all the way to Slovenia, why else would they have gone there.

Either that or Hall is linking up with them out there?

09 Jul 2013 17:59:08
and sam byram has joined them on tour.

Sam flew with them though, I doubt Hall is linking up either because his wife is due to give birth and I doubt he'd leave for a couple of days after his baby is born. That'd mean even if she popped now he'd have missed nearly the whole tour.

Your mates mate must have been Sam Byram pulling his leg.

So how is the 47 getting out there in the first place!

Itrust this is through Monarch

Benching 150 must be some boy

To make allowances for all the extra baggage bought in Slovenia.

ALF will not be joining Leeds fee to high and he was miffed at the amount off playing time he got under Brian at Reading Be4, I'd have any poster a £100 IOU bet no alf at Leeds this summer

Challenge accepted!

Regards,

ALF.

AND he's a fan.

11 Jul 2013 00:25:02
I do agree but in it says we are favourates to sign ALF

the brother of a good friend of mine is a football agent. He has said that Leeds and Ipswich are both in for Djimi Traore of former Liverpool fame. They are both seeking to release him from his contract at Seattle Sounders and bring him back to Europe. 33 now but versatile, athletic and experienced. Can play LB or CB. Would people be happy with Traore?

No.

StevenLufc

Sounders won't let Traore leave he's been solid for them and he enjoys it there, no chance of him leaving. If there's a Sounders player that should come to Leeds it's Ozzie Alonso without a doubt

Ozzie Alonso, that name fits in with all the other crazy names we've had over the last few seasons :)

Kilkenny
Snodgrass
Pugh
Odea
Poleon

Traore can, t see that deal happening, thankfully!

Poleon what is wrong with that name? nothing

Leeds to confirm the signing of Adam Le Fondre and Lucas Leiva this week

Lucas. HAHA.
DO YOUR JOB ADMINS! {Ed013's Note - Whats your problem? Its a rumour not a guarantee! However unbelievable it is, its better than the Smith, Beckfords and Messi rumours, Admin ;-)

Lucas Leiva? What planet are you living on?

ALF yes, Leiva I don't think is up to the standard. Dpont think he would cut it in the Champioship, IMO of course.

Surely this should b in dodgy rumours?

No its really not better than the beckfords or smiths rumours. lucas would cost atleast 10 mill so this rumour is pathetic

I will have any poster a £100 IOU bet Alf doesn't join Leeds this summer

I saw 27 potential new signings at Farsley on Saturday and 4 of them were Jermaine Beckford. BTW you are doing a great job ED

Gerry Mc

I'll have a pint of what you have been drinking! I think you left out Ronaldo and Messi

It's amazing how these ones slip through the net. Dodgy Rumour Alert!
