Thompson
SUB Midfielder
T.Smith or Diouf
Gray

Any more news on Austin or Peltier Ed??
Or other responses? for other transfers...?! {Ed013's Note - Austin is being monitored as they want him to play until the end of July so they can bring in a replacement in and Peltier news has dried up}

I think you've missed a really good player off that list. The one and only Davide Somma. If he comes back in the same form he showed us, he will rip a new ar=e hole in this league.

According to a Leicestershire paper he is just thrashing out the details.

Come on lads lets get the bandwagon goin for Buzsacky. He could just be the signing that takes the pressure off snoddy on the wing, as you carn't mark to people with alot of skill. I think we have a good chance of getting him, with Warnock now controling the ship.

I think there is a chance he could come, I'm sure he wants first team football and he can get that at Leeds, the midfield needs strengthening, along with Austin it would certainly add much needed strength, if we want to get out of this league then we need these sort of players atleast

I think we need strikers, Becchio overated,
Mc Cormack on the wayout, and Somma is
only Div 1 standard.MOT.

Did you see Somma's run in first season back in championship? top class

Somma is twice the player Maccormack is. The lad scored 12 goals of the bench in first run in team, if he hadn't of got injured, i doubt maccormack would of got the chance he did.
As long as he comes back the same player, you will be saying Maccormack who?
mot4life

Somma's been injured a long time?

You dont know what you're on about

Hi, I must have been watching the wrong Becchio and Somma all along.
Luciano overated? That would be why he has scored the goals he has, and Davide Div 1 standard? Well, I for one would take more like him.

Here is a challenge for you, if they both are as bad as you make out, go to ER have a trial, and I will donate £10 to the charity of your choice for every goal you score more than either of them next season.

I do not normally swear, but take the L out of clock, and that is what you are (imo).

tRip

I would sell Becchio.

Becchio overated dont make me laugh

Are ye actually serious about Somma he's barely League 2 on his best day and if he's one of our main strikers then we're gonna be in serious trouble this season

Sommas class....Best finisher in the club. Just need him back to full match fitness. Possibble Premier lge quality!

To those saying or implying that Somma is gonna storm it next season, come on he'll be behind on match fitness and match practice. He'll be on the sidelines just like he was when he was 100 % fit. Sorry about that just bein realistic. Great finisher but theres more to it than that, especially in NW's side.

NickW, MOT

Only any good of the bench, NOT 90 MIN PLAYER!
KEZZA

Warnock wanted a player who can impact a match when he comes off the bench like adam le fondre and i think that he said that it he wanted mccormack to be that player but with him looking likely to be on his way out i think somma is the perfect impact player but i must admit he need to be back to full match fitness but i am looking forward to him returning what do you think ed. MOT
A leeds fan

Alot of players have come back and played there best football. True some have come back and not looked the same player. We have one thing on his side he's still at a ok age to repair himself. I bet the ones that are slatting him are the ones that said Billy Barnyard was goin to fire us to glory. Need i remind how that turned out.
IN SOMMA WE TRUST!!

as I was looking up Rodolph Austin, I noticed another player from SK Brann, and his name was Kim Ojo. I know that on youtube you can make an average player look like a brilliant player, but when I saw a video of him, I thought that he looked like a younger quicker Becchio. he is 23, 6ft3 and has scored 20 goals in 42 games for SK Brann. worth a look up.

Is it just me that thinks the likes of rogers and somma could come good next year and develop into top players??

Agree it will be like a couple of new signings, soma scoring ratio is 2nd to none and Rogers so quick!

'It's like having a new signing' - every chairman or manager's excuse for a lack of investment. And now it looks like there's a bidding war for Ross McCormack with Wolves and Blackpool offering around the 2.5m mark, are we happy to replace him with Varney, a striker who's best season ever brought 9 goals and who could only manage an average of 8 playing for non-league Quorn?

He has also scored 5 goals in the Barclays Premier League playing on the left wing. And how many has Ross scored in the prem? Furthermore Mccormack only scored 4 in 36 games in his last two years at Cardiff. So why don't you give the lad a chance before we start slating him, i for one think alot of people will be eating their own words what come may.

Are u drunk!! both not good enough

I'll give everyone a chance and I expect I'll be singing his name come August - just think that the signings so far seem disappointing, Pearce excepted.

I'm entitled to express that view, by the way.

Think we should be wary of building Somma up - players are not always the same after an injury - remember Kisnorbo

2.5M for McCormack? Seriously? We should snap their hands off.
Busy little player but no real class and a little short of pace for a top class striker. One good season and most of those stats were served up on a plate by Snoddy.
The gaffer doesn t think mccormack would
be a main starter next year. Maybe doesn t fit into his style of play or plans. Am inclined to agree and if we can get such decent money for him that sounds like great business.
Over the next couple of weeks I d be surprised if we didn t have 3 or 4 very good players joining us. Ruddy Austin looks class and hard as nails. Fingers crossed on that one.
Future looks bright.
Get sum blud on yer boots.

Agree about the pace but I think you're wrong about his class. McCormack has the best first touch in the squad, two feet, good in the air for a small man, an eye for goal and he's a very smart passer of the ball.

I do think he could be exposed in the premiership because of his lack of pace but if he plays like last season he'll be one of the best players in our division wherever he ends up.

If he plays like last season then 2.5 million would seems about right to me - if he plays like the season before then 2.5 pence would be nearer the mark.

Whoever buys him will have to wait a season to see any benefit from him. People will be eating there words if Somma comes back the same player he was before his injury. Maccormack for me is far to lazy and thinks he's better than what he is.

Why is no team in the prem after Austin? For warnock to break silence he is either confident of getting him or is trying to show him Leeds fans reaction to the possibility of him signing for Leeds.

Think he knows if he wants him he can get him
I also think I will not bo over long befor we see him in a white shirt

Warnock can turn the most average player into wine. Don't forget all his promotions have come at very little cost. So people stop spitting your dummys out over cost of players. If we need a good striker, then i feel thats when we will see a half desent transfer.
