I have a positive feeling about Somma. It is almost meant to be. I reckon we would be stupid not to give him a contract (if he can prove his fitness). He is exactly what we are missing, big, strong, relatively quick, good finisher. I would also mean we could wave bye to donkey smith, or send him to the Pedigree Chum factory with all the other knackered cart horses!

I wish David Somma all the luck in the world in his recovery, I just can't see it happening for him too play for us again, Paddy Kisnorbo was never the same player after his injurys.

Agree0 Disagree0

O.p. here.i know what you mean, but I just hope he could get back tohow he was.players do, some perhaps come back stronger.whilshire for example.only timewll tell.

fair play to Somma, could have easily taken his ball home and signed for a SA/US team, but he wants to be a success at Leeds. Welcome back.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

His attitude is first class. Could quite easily fizzle out down the leagues or back to his homeland. Credit to the bloke and seeing him succeed this season imo, would be as good as us getting in the playoffs.

SOMMA TIME!! Really hope he comes back to the club!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Would fit in perfectly with GFH financial plans. Probably on a base wage, for 1 year and pay as you play bonus.

but I would have hime back in an instant.

I don't think anyone should even question BMD's job security. I believe he is the right man for the job. What you have got to remember is that we have a very young squad with the likes of Wooton, Lees, Murphy, Poleon, White, Byram, Smith and the list goes on. So we are obviously working towards the future and its going to take patience and we should have trust BMD. LUFC MOT!!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The list goes on?

Agree0 Disagree0

It means there's more to the list . You're welcome

Agree0 Disagree0

It's ok planning for the future, but if that is in League One then all these prospects will want away - we need some stability now to have a future :-(

We won't get relegated. With this team . They are just having a bad patch . We just need to setup with wide men . We have players that have played out wide even if its not there strongest position its worth trying them there again.

People keep saying give Walters and Dawson a chance, I wonder if some people realise the gulf in class between development and championship teams, not to mention the extra physical and mental demands on these young lads. I'm sure if Brian thought they were ready he would have thrown them in already. It wouldn't be fair to risk the careers of these boys out of desperation.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

On the whole I agree, but until you try one out off the bench then you won't know. There is no point in Walters sitting in th ereserves, playing weell, when he isn't going to get rewarded with a bench spot. And frankly speaking with our strikers there is justification.

Hall was sent out due to hime not being up to the standard, so the same is with these guys. But until someone can say, "he needs a liitle mnore time" or "needs more competetive game time" then we won't know.

Agree0 Disagree0

Your absolutely spot on mate . I've watched these young lads on many occasions and whilst half a dozen of them are extremely talented they are defiantly at least 2/3 years away from playing first team football . These young lads Chris Dawson Calvin phillips simon lennigan charlie taylor ross killock and young walters are the future so good luck to them all. but just not phisickly ready yet . This doesn't mean they won't feature in the odd game like mowatt but that's about it .Mot .

Just been on radio Leeds that Davide Somma is back reading with Leeds and hoping to make a come back! Hope he can knock a few goals on!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

As much as I would like to see Somma back in football due to the bad luck he has had, I do not see him as the answer to Leeds striking problems. We have short term issues to address and a player coming back from over 2 years of serious injuries would take too long to get up and running. A cheap answer for GFH but not the correct one

Agree0 Disagree0

Right, the following comments have been said by so many Leeds fans that it is very obvious for all to see (so why can't the people in charge of picking the team see them)

comment 1, We are very predictable in our tactics and the formation needs to change fast before we get so low down the league we end up in a battle that (a) we don't want to be in and (b) In my opinion that we have no way of winning and WILL be playing League 1 football next season. We need to get playing with some serious wide play, we have the players if they were given the chance (Byram, White, Diouff, Mowatt, Poleon and even Varney to some extent can play the winger role) we have the tools use them!

comment 2, The owners say there is money available to fund signings but still nothing. I understand BMD saying he isn't bringing in people for the sake of it and I agree totally but come on. anyone out there at the minute could improve our team - we are not exactly performing well at the minute and lack in a few areas. I have a feeling that we don't have the money that BMD needs or he would of made a few loan signings before now

comment 3, just going back to my thoughts of us having no money. IF this is true why the hell are we not blooding the youth team for the gems we already have? look at Byram for example. he plays one full season and he is being linked with a move to either Man City, Arsenal and other Premiership teams for £6m+ We have given Mowatt a few games this season and I can honestly say he has been the best player on the pitch in a Leeds shirt in EVERY game he has played. We have Cairns, Killock, Dawson, Lenighan, Poleon and Walters who are there or there abouts. give them a run out and let them show what they can do. Walters could be the striker we are desperate for just sat there waiting to get on the pitch. he can't do any worse than Hunt, Smith or Varney now can he!

If we are going to go out and get beat every week we might as well go out and get beat with our young players out there actually fighting for the club and showing what they are capable of

ED's any comments on my post?

Come on Leeds we are still only 6pts from the playoff places in a league where everyone beats everyone - it can still happen if we make changes and fast

LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS!! {Ed013's Note - Some good points, I just hope Brian doesn't do what he did at Reading and ignored the money available and keeps loyal to his current players. I put it out on twitter last week to see who fans think are available and there was some good suggestions and they would clearly make Leeds better if available. As for the youth, its easy to say throw them in, but when it all goes wrong they may not be able to handle the pressures and it could ruin their future careers. They need bedding in as it is a big step up}

Zaha, Zaha, Zaha.

May be realistic, or Miyachi if he ist still at Arsenal (did well at wigan)

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for your reply Ed013, I hope your right about Brian also matey as the players he currently has are not "his" players to stay loyal to. How many of them would he have brought in if they weren't Leeds players? the answer is almost certainly NONE. We need to get a lot of work done on the training ground over this international break and make sure when we step out against Brum that we hit the ground running and give a good performance and more vitally pick up a valuable 3 points.

Agree0 Disagree0

Comment 1 - agree

Comment 2 - annoyed the club didn't give the funds in the summer. but agree that BMD is looking for a signing with a long term plan in mind, not just a "merc" (I recall what happened with Townsend last season?)

Comment 3 - Walters hould be given the chanc, same with White and Diouf

Agree0 Disagree0

A long shot I know, but the news that Davide Somma is still looking to impress BMD as he nears fitness has cheered me up somewhat, at his best he was one of the best finishers I have seen in a Leeds shirt, god knows how much we need one this season!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Great credit to Brian McDermott for allowing him to come and train at Thorp Arch, football is a cruel game, and will have given him a chance to get fit and play again

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok dreaming now but . What about a shady bid for becchio loan to permanent in Jan for about £500,000 + Raheem sterling off liverpool, loan till the end of the season as the kid can't get a game and he needs to play for england recognition and we can provide big game atmosphere and pressure.

Dont rip me I said dreaming but those 2 in and we would be up this season, so c'mon GFH get on it.

I think we have more chance of getting Jordon Ibe than Sterling {Ed001's Note - Ibe is 17, he can't go out on loan yet.}

Watched the Leeds v Liverpool 4 - 3 memory match on the tv the other night.
What great memories. Was it really that long ago?.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I have that one on DVD along with Leeds 4- derby 3 from 1996 - great matches.

What I'd give for a young Lee Bowyer and an in form Mark Viduka now

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh mate, I was there, when Viduka's 4th went in, I must admit, it was better than sex! {Ed003's Note - you're not doing it right then.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Reply to Ed003's Note - You never met my wife! {Ed001's Note - at least that is what she tells you!}
