Leeds to strengthen defence & midfield.Michael Johnson, Eric Lichaj on season long loan, Richard Dunne, Tyson & Smith possibilities (depending on money & Smiths fitness)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obviously rubbius as Tysons joined Derby... all the rest are believeable though to be honest, apart from Dunne

++++++++++++++++++
apart from we were interseted in Dunne in jan. but then he started getting first team action. but i doubt we will move for him.

Bates has said team don't need to be strengthened after a good long look at the squad and said they are capable of geting promoted with what we got.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Smith to sign once his settlement agreed with Newcastle probably approximate£1.5m ... Salary £10k plus £5k appearance. Plus bonus for promo. He wants the move however will be swayed if someone offers in excess of £20k pet week.

George body lined up to replace snoddy if he moves.

Moved for partly and southern ... Deals fell through see chairmanship comments on Yorkshire radio.

May move for Huddersfield Peter clarke was at blackpool with Grayson.
Would love wood gate but his injury track record makes it unlikely unless he would a basic of £4k with a £10-£15k pay as you play.
Bowyer is too expensive and is touting around west ham again.
Have offered for lichaij ... Nothing will happen until villa manager in place.
Would like Jack cork but not at £750k plus £20k per week prepared to offer £500k plus add ons plus£10k plus bonuses.
Something may develop with Wes hoolahan had some sort of fall out with lambert.
Looking at left backs and a centre forward ... Will offload paynter once a beck ford type forward can be secured possibly on loan. Marlon harwood ... Jason Roberts may be also considered.

------------------------------------------------
Can you explain who Body, Partly & Harwood ITS JUST IF YOU HAVE SEEN IT SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU WOULD NO HOW TO SPELL THERE NAMES. IDIOT!!!

A couple of names being touted around my neighbourhood in Poland - The Polish journo's get very excited when rumours of English club scouts are around and try extremely hard to get information. Some do manage to find out little pieces of gold. Rumours have it Leeds Scouts are looking at the following: -

Jakub Wawrzyniak - Age 27, Left back, contract expires in 2 months. Could be obtained for a nominal fee.
Currently a Legia Warsaw player. Before that played very well for Panathinaikos in Greece, including appearances in the Champions League. Also was a regular for the Polish national team under Leo Beenhakker. Would easily be good enough for the Championship and could be sold at a profit after one or two solid seasons.

Ivan Djurdjevic - Age 33, Defensive Midfielder, contract expires in 2 monts, Could be obtained for a nominal fee.

One of the best players in Poland. Plays for Lech Poznan. Won three man of the match awards in recent games agains Man City, Juventus and Salzburg. No nonsense ball winner, incredible work rate. Also played with a lot of success in the Portugese league. This guy would be a fantastic signing, we'd finally have a genuine ball winner. Can also play Central Defence.

Tomasz Bandrowski - Age 26, Defensive Midfielder, contract expires in 2 months. Could be obtained for a nominal fee.
Recently injured, now coming back into form. Has international experience and kept Djurdjievic out of the side for a long time. Ball winner but also very good on the ball. Great work rate.

I for one remain pesimistic, but we have un-earthed some very good players in the past who where relitively unknown - Yeboah, Hasslebaink, Becchio... Nunez???

Like if your getting scared that we haven't signed anyone yet and that we are not solidly linked with any players at all

Monty gimpel u clown, get off here as u are clearly not a white u muppet

Agree3 Disagree2

The reason why you have not signed anyone yet is because Grayson is going to Villa,

To the person who said George Boyd would not move to Leeds......... I know Peterborough like the back of my hand and know where players like George Boyd live, so if this is true, you wouldn't mind telling everybody on this site what part of Boro he lives in then yes? ..........Or maybe your a Peterborough fan hoping that you dont lose your other best player. You have lost McKail-Smith already and you will probably be devastated if you lose your only other good player........We await your reply!

Ken Bates says Alan Smiths wage was in the seven figure mark (FOR THE YEAR) so thats £1m a year or over. if Alan Smith is the supposedly the highest paid player at Newcastle, lets say he is on roughly 50k a week basic wage. multiply that by 52 weeks in the year, thats 2.6m a year. Take a nought off, 260k a year? then half it? 130k a year? Which works out at £2500 a week? Do you really think Ken Bates was been serious? I think he joked when he said take a nought off, i think he may have meant half his 50k a week wage then half it again. Something more in the region of 12 to 15k basic wage. But If theres a promotion Wage rise and appearances and bonus's on top he may decide to accept. I want it to happen but i cant see it happening. Rumour has it hes off to MLS now.

Believable1 Unbelievable4

Let me guess, his fake ex girlfriend on twitter stated this???? Why are people so quick to believe absolute crap?

Agree2 Disagree0

Rubbish! he's more likely to be on £50k and I'm sure I read there were at least three players above him in wages at Newcastle, the lad told a few people at games this season and last season he would take a wage cut to join Leeds, it's only the injury that stopped it happening. people are spreading rubbish to have a pop just because of the man u move and it's getting boring! they'll soon pipe down if he pulls his socks up for the team

Agree1 Disagree1

You pipe down. We get it your desperate to have him back but don't be blind to the fact because it suits your agenda. PARDEW AND ALEX BLACK (HIS AGENT) BOTH STATED BEFORE HE GOT INJURED THAT HE WASN'T LEAVING NEWCASTLE, SMITH WAS HAPPY THERE AND PARDEW WANTED HIM IN THE TEAM! GET ''YOUR'' FACTS STRAIGHT!

The "take off a naught and half it" quote from KB want upposed to be taken litterally. The contract being propoed by Leeds to Smith is likely to be 2 years with a year extension based on appearences, 9K per week with a 3-6K appearence free and a bonus for promotion. Thi from one of the coaches at TA. This will bring him parity with ex prem player andy o'brien
---------------------------------------------
They is players on any more than 9k a week at Leeds so smith would get a good offer but no were near the 60 or 60+ is on already.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Where is all this 9k per week coming from? 7 figures is 1 million so knock 1 zero off is 100,000 then half it is 50,000. Now it doesnt state what it is but it cant be weekly or even split in a week as this is 1000 a week which is even lower than we pay. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Am in Italy at the moment so I cant claim to know anything about whats going on with Leeds but theres no smoke without fire I agree that Grayson knew Smith was going to get released and to be honest, most people believed he was coming in January until the injury. Sod the doubters and the doom mongers lets have him back! Funny how the shirt unveiling and the rest of the friendlies havent been revealed just yet or sorted out hmmm but maybe we're just reading too much into this and Bates is trying to stir the pot to attract business ??? Either way, for many the idea of buying a Smith shirt again isnt as negative as some may view it...we will see

Believable2 Unbelievable3

He wasn't coming back in Jan! Pardew AND his agent (Alex Black) stated before he got injured that Alan Smith was staying at Newcastle to see out his contract, and that he was happy there! Check your fact before you spout rubbish.

________________________________________________O'brien is on 16k a week. My opinion if Smith passed a medical with flying colours we'd offer him even more would still be less than a third of what he's on

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Who told you that O'Brien earns that much. I've heard that the top earner at Leeds is on 7k a week

Agree0 Disagree3

I really wish the smith saga would stop. He isn't even that good, he was part of a nearly side that feel apart he was made to look good by the players around him. He plays with his heart but as a footballer he isn't that good. Play him in midfield he can't pass a ball.

Agree4 Disagree2

Well regardless of what you think of smith I dont think its going to go away unless he retires anyday soon LOL

Agree0 Disagree4

i guess batesy has quietened all the negative fans up, dont worry i will join u by pointing the finger if we dont make the signings needed but just stop and think how long is left of the window

Smith will gang in with newcastle until a settlement is agreed possibly a £1.5m pay off. Then he will have a choice of a 2 yr deal @ £10k per week at Leeds with circa £500k bonus if promoted or £20k plus from maybe west ham and another. His preferred option is Leeds ... however dependent upon wage differential. Nobody is going to take less than 75% of what he can get elsewhere. Ironically the deal makes more commercial sense to Leeds than any other club ... However Grayson is a little concerned about there being a bit of an Alan smith circus should he return ... Hence won't budge on salary offer ... Keeping him broadley in line with the others.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

How come you no so much about the wages and signin on fee an stuff ?

Stop Bullshi**ing

10 Jun 2011 12:00:05
to the person who mentioned that smithy would be on £6000 wages. I don't think so lol add £10000 to that and you'll be ok :-) so we're saying £16000 now. Keep it real mate. If he's said that up there, he's saying that till he's definitly transfered to Leeds. Then he'll say how crap it was up there cos we all know it is lol they don't compare to Leeds United. I have a 'very good feeling' he'll come back. And bowyer too. Think of that bowyer, howson, snoddy, gradel, smith, becchio, makings of a top two team?! :-) this year guys we'll do it

Believable2 Unbelievable0

10 Jun 2011 11:45:54
All Leeds need are Smith and Bowyer to get us up and with Kisnorbo back in defence these three will give us the quality and experience needed. Gradel, Howson and Snograss will all benifit from having three senior pros around and will all get better.

Believable2 Unbelievable3

Plus gibbs (loan arsenal) and another central defender
And maybe another striker in january, if lads aint banging them in
