why is it, in league 1 we could keep players at the club and they would actually sign a contract and know we cant?
Believable0
Unbelievable0
Because we now have better players that prem clubs want. With te expection of Beckford and Johnson in league 1
Agree2
Disagree0
Because when we were in league 1 we looked like we were improving the team and going forwards where as in the championship we were making the team worse and going backwards............until now (hopefully).
Also the vast majority of decent players we have lost, have gone to teams in higher divisions & those that didn't go to higher clubs didn't necessarily want to leave (Schmeichel for example).
If I was in a team that I wanted to help get promoted and a team above me wanted to sign me. Part of my decision would depend on whether the team I currently play for have the ambition and ability to get promoted themselves and the truth is that up until now the answer for LUFC has been no.
If Ward joins & we continue to make positive signings like Pearce we stand a much better chance of keeping our players.
Agree2
Disagree0
Personally think we had a better squad in league 1 than the squad we have had the past 2 seasons in the championship
Agree4
Disagree0
At last someone talks scence,not one person in this world would turn down more money doing the same job,especially if there current place of work have no ambition

Not a rumour but Junior Hoillet is out of contract with Blackburn in the summer and not prepared to enter talks with a new contract when Blackburn are relegated. Warnock wants young, hungry players and Hoillet would fit that bill perfectly. Only problem is wages and that he will most likely be attracting interest from premier league sides. So please Warnock jump in quickly MOT {Ed003's Note - not a chance I'm afraid}

Get a grip! Bayern Munich and Liverpool looking at him.

Ha ha this lad doesn't have a clue, well and truely out of our league, let's get all the top young players I'm sure Neymar, Lucas and hazard are realistic as well lol not

It's odd that when it was announced there would be a 'new start' for leeds, we're linked to more ex players than ever. MOT.
Believable3
Unbelievable1
Seems that some people are not aware of other players, or watch football much, some people have fantasies of old players signing back up like woody bowyer smith when they are terrible now, must think we will be a big club again with them, and others can't except the likes of gradel and beckford are happier else where, I know Fabian and I was one of the first to know that he was going to return on loan, and I can tell you the truth was he hated back at Leeds and wanted to return to villa as soon as possible, he moaned about everything at the club, and I'm sure the rest feel that way that why none are over keen in staying or returning.

Ed - Question for you, we have just announced a tour of cornwall, is there any talent down there, what we heard from Torquay this season. Just wondering if there is a particular reason we are going there?? {Ed037's Note - Warnock tends to bring his teams down to Cornwall}

Is anybody else dissapointed with our pre season games ??
cheap and nasty, Gj
Believable3
Unbelievable5
We dont know who we will be playing in our home pre season game yet. usually a premiership team like we had newcastle before and others
Agree3

Maybe the reason we are playing poor teams is so that we can destroy them and then have high confidence going into the start of the season
Agree5

Or get beat by a little team like histon oops

Fow - McCormack
Rhodes

Unbelievable11
I 100% agree mate that it's a top team and if we had them players I'd be extremely confident, but the likes of clyne, zaha and Rhodes realistically I just can't see joining as they have alot of interest from premiership clubs, fingers crossed tho I'd love to see that team starting out for us next season
Agree3
Disagree2
Clyne zaha and rhodes would probably have a combined value of over 10million so no chance

Guys, think about this. Rangers FC as we know are in decline. Charles Green's London consortium is pretty much the last chance of a buy out, after the Blue Knights consortium were kicked out of the bidding process. If it doesn't happen, its gonna be a free for all. They're gonna ship more players than P&O Ferries! We must be in with a shout of one or some of they're players? Scotland's top teams are bottom half of the prem standard at best. Thoughts? {Ed013's Note - I am sure NW is aware of their situation, but the players there may not be what he is after. I believe proven players and hungry one's are what he is after}

It always amazes me how people purposefully go on otehr clubs' sites to slate them, tell them they're not big/famous/successful anymore. If that is the case, drop by? I can honestly say that I never look at another club's page here.

Interesting article in the Pompy News ,
Birch says he's frustrated that its taking so long to sell players , only Pearce gone to Leeds so far.
He goes on to say that he thinks the contracted players are trying to get their contracts cancelled so can get better offers . Thas what might be holding up Wards move to Leeds ??
Believable8
Unbelievable0
Yes, the chairman KB stated yesterday - as a message to all watching ( other directors and players ) that unless players are FREE of contractual ties - the moves wont occur - if you are being paid 1500 per day by one employer you dont give it up to go to another one for 850 ?
the parent club needs to sever the contract if they want to offload and sell players on high wages etc - this is what will happen

He is only 19 and I think NW will go for players that can hit the ground running. You never know, it could be a gamble that may pay off}
