O'Kane looked good last night (on the highlights) spraying it around in midfield. Hope he doesn't go to Wolves. Could be a key player for us this season. I know we're well covered in midfield, but injuries suspensions, we'll need him. MM

A big fan of o kane hoping he gets more games than last season

Agree3 Disagree1

13 Jul 2017 19:55:00
Like O'Kane he is a good player, rather see Bridcutt leave.

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 19:55:33
I like O'Kane and thought he should have played more of a part last season. i would like to see him stay and cement a place in the team this year.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 20:18:26
Agree, can't believe Monk didn't play him more once he got over his injury, probably the most consistent midfielder when he was fit.

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 21:47:12
I like O'Kane but we want Batth and need CB's they want O'Kane and need CM's, good deal for everyone?

Agree1 Disagree0

14 Jul 2017 00:07:16
Give them bridcutt. Keep kane

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 23:44:34
Gummie is right. Loss of Okane won't even be felt the amount of mids in our midst. Important thing is to bolster the defence.

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2017 02:37:00
I air again. Apart from poss bothy. I think our defence will stay same. Lots of variables available

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 18:58:19
Alioski officially confirmed. Very pleasing.

We're going to have a completely new team by the time the season starts and a pretty exciting one! 😁

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 19:29:49
Centre half now please Radz, got to say if the guys we got Incan adjust quickly to the championship then a good season awaits. Roll on August 6th. mot

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 23:16:40
The really good thing is everyone we have gone for, we have got. No last minute snags . Its great to get them in place nice and early, CB please.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 23:18:24
When I said a month ago we needed 10 or 11 new players people laughed except for Gummie and Notts and probably Wex. I'm not just a pretty face.

Anyone thoughts on back 4? What about Berradi, Ayling, PJ, Alioski. just putting it out there🙄

Believable0 Unbelievable4

13 Jul 2017 19:06:49
Whatever happened to the 2 Swedish defenders ( I think Wahlqvhist and Helander) both should be known to PJ and must even have partnered him at some time. All seems to have gone quiet?

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 19:25:30
Two players out of position? Want Alioski to score goals, and ayling is good there for cover but not as a permanent cb

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 19:27:31
alioski has been international left back so him pontus aling and beradi not a bad option would feel better with another left back and cb coming in though, but can't complain at the summer so far and early as well normally its all last minute

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 21:53:35
Cant agree more Delboy. Why not play Anita at LB if we don't bring anyone else in though? that's where he played for Ajax before joining Newcastle, rather him than the 17 goal winger. As for Ayling he is not a natural CB, we will ship a lot of silly goals if we put him in for the season.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 23:58:15
At the moment I regard first choice LB as Denton then Cooper or other way round. It don't matter because I can see us getting a new LB next week. Alioski and Anita belong in a midfield. As for Swiss Army Knife I can see him making numerous substitute appearances as he provides cover for both full back positions and probably wouldn't disgrace himself anywhere across back four.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 18:25:57
Alioski and Saiz signed today, great day for Leeds. From what I gathered Alioski is a right winger with a powerful left foot, he cuts in a lot which leads to him scoring. And apparently likes a tackle and me think he will fit in well with that trait. Anyone else have anything else on him, like what other players is he similar too?

Great news. Concentrate on the defence now.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 18:44:40
From what I have seen, he plays a bit like matt richie

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 19:28:48
he has also played left back for his country maybe an option there

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 19:31:49
He has bleach blond hair and gels it back. MM

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 19:34:12
The league in Switzerland is a fairly good standard, think the new guy will do just fine in the championship.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 19:54:12
If he is as good as Richie he will terrorise Championship defences.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 23:50:00
Yes alf but some say he better than him. Some say he is the Balkan Bale

Agree0 Disagree0

Bye to Diagouraga and Erwin both free to leave along with Bellusci.

I'm not sure how good a signing Saiz is actually. I mean my missus told me the other day that Saiz wasn't important and her knowledge of Spanish football is extensive! 😌

Danum did you just make a funny?

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 15:02:05
Danum, did you put her straight?

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 17:49:56
Explains why she stays with you Danum seen as she believes saiz doesn't matter

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 18:48:22
Well Wex, it's definitely nothing to do with me being a millionaire, because I was a billionaire when I met her and she's still with me. 😱

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 23:23:54
You have an excellent sense of humour danum. Don't worry though. I won't put you through what Speedyg does to Berm. I'm like Sting. I set free what I love except Leeds. I love Leeds. Mrs Integrity is going to get it at the weekend. ❤👉👌😻

Agree0 Disagree0

14 Jul 2017 07:24:53
Thanks George. Much appreciated. I agree, let's keep it platonic. So, 'don't stand so close to me', 'I'll be watching you' 😁

Radz has indicated that he wants all Leeds transfer business concluded by the time the team return from the preseason tour or Austria.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

13 Jul 2017 15:03:51
Will that be sufficient time to acquire Tom Lawrence? That is the question. Actually we could do with a couple of defenders.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 13:44:57
Saiz signing now complete. £3m deal over 4 years.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

13 Jul 2017 15:05:23
Danum missus thinks Saiz is important only in a committed relationship

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 12:51:33
So. There was me thinking the ssssssnake moved on because he didn't think he'd be backed in the transfer market .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

13 Jul 2017 13:45:29
I think he wanted more control over the signings rather than a DOF

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 14:21:17
Isn't there one at Boro?

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 14:24:31
Still true speedyg. Signings were to be plucked for him. Little or no say and certainly no control. Glad the adder has gone. Hope he replicates his last ten games form points tally for the whole season with Boro.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 18:27:24
Wonder what the odds are on Boro looking for a new manager by Christmas? :) (btw, I haven't left the site, jus been on a scouting mission to Mexico . could do worse than signing Jose Cuerva . hell of a shot :) )

Britt Assombalonga rumoured to be going to the smog monsters for £14m. Our Woody must be worth £20+. Would everyone accept that it would be ok to sell if we got a minimum £20m?

13 Jul 2017 13:45:57
depends who we got in to replace

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 15:03:30
Who would u spend $20mil on lucas. To get us the25-30 goals? got to be min $25 mill in this crazy market.

I go onto the Leeds rumoursnow website this morning after a heavy night at my mates local, sleeping most the night in a ditch, in which I fell into. Anyways, as I was scrolling through the articles I saw Alioski is on his way which is great, but so is this other Spaniard called Machuca, who is he? And can anyone shed some light this?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

13 Jul 2017 13:46:26
youngster for the development squad. not for the first team.

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 14:23:34
One for future like Gomes. He's 19 and actually from Paraguay. Left foot, quite the dribbler and rapid. Sure he'll go straight into our U-23s.

Agree2 Disagree0

13 Jul 2017 12:12:39
Welcome to Leeds Samuel Saiz. Now let's get Alioski through the door. Really hoping Woody stays, he'll bag at hat full next season with this amount of service! MM

Believable3 Unbelievable0

13 Jul 2017 15:10:10
Actually MM I'm expecting his goal tally to drop a little as others finally go for goal themselves. If he stays still think Wood will hit 20 league goals this season. I also get the feeling Ekuban is going to do well better than people think.
