Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

why is there ppl on the backs of our young defenders tonight they were up against 4 Scum attacking strikers ffs, giv the lads a break..Judge them Friday night against Brighton the games that really matter. In my opinion its time to off load Snodgrass its clear he has no passion for us anymore, Varyrynen looked like he going to be a solid player along wi Clayton.......M.O.T

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Finally someone speaks sense

Agree2 Disagree1

Well said. Lees is a CB playing RB, and White is a LB who most people say will probably be best suited to LW

Agree1 Disagree0

Apart from 4 or 5 of their team that started nobody had heard of the rest. ffs they played with 10 men for the last ten minutes. We are so away from being premiership quality.Two many players living on past reputations and disapearing for large parts of the game i.e Howson and bloody moping sh#te Snodgrass. Clayton is the only class player in the team and he will bugger off as he'll get p@ssed off running himself ragged in a one man midfield. Take the jam jar bottomed rose tinted glasses off and realise we are mid table championship quality at present. If they dont want to bleed for this club then get rid_________________________________________

Sell snodgrass....or play him central. Playing him on the wing is wrong.he waits there like a lost part asking for a pass,if the pass doesn't land on a two pence piece for him he moans n shouts at his team mates causing trouble. He never runs for a ball, or after a ball he's lost, he's lazy,he's too slow to play on a wing he wud be best suited as a central playmaker where he sees the ball all the time otherwise I really do not rate him.get him sold.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE DROP Howson and Snodgrass!

Agree5 Disagree0

Grayson wont drop his two favourites

Agree1 Disagree0

20 Sep 2011 22:27:00
Leeds tonight once again was rubbish in defence in 3seasons of Grayson the defence has been crap time to get rid and get gus poyet Brighton are strong at the back like any good team should be time for Grayson to go now!

Believable5 Unbelievable2

He did well but now we need a change to move forward. Gj

Agree4 Disagree1

20 Sep 2011 22:18:20
The sad thing about all this is that it will only take two players to transform the team. A right back a central defender with Lees his partner

Believable3 Unbelievable0

We also need a decent left back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Add 2 wingers and a CM to the wish list- Hammill would be a great start

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Sep 2011 22:05:43
well me and my son have just got home from the game! no complaints about the subs the game was all over, apart from Nunez why people rate this guy so high is beyond me ok against crap championship sides and thats it. The game well well, our defence as to be the most awful we have ever had! both full backs where s..t, bromby is a cart horse and odear well enough said! We have one player again who is value and deserves to where the shirt and thats clayton but you all know that!! The post about howson last weekend are all true, my 8 year old ask me after 60 minutes if he was playing!! and the worst one of all was snodgrass he is bloody awful, we should have sold him for 10 bob, he doesnt want to play for us. We have to get two or three new defenders asap or will be leaking goals all year! I think this is the worst I have seen Leeds since we lost the league cup final against villa, very embarrassing, I don,t mind us losing but not in that fashion. Oldham Whites!!

Believable7 Unbelievable0

Totally agree. snodgrass needs putting down with howson not far behind him

Agree4 Disagree0

Agree with all above, season ticket holder home and away and the performance of Snodgrass and Howson was well below form... Clayton you deserve the captains armband

Agree4 Disagree0

What a shambles - surely there is more enthusiasm and ability in our youth team than Snodgrass and Howson! I would dock both there wages and drop them both. Why or why do we persist with Snodgrass whose heart is not in it - an insult to Leeds United and the fans. Snodgrass is capable - poor Howson simply isn't and the same goes for SG.

Agree2 Disagree0

This was my post after the match last night and honestly i dont expect them to win ever game or perform miracles, but from any leeds team what I want is 150% effort and to look like we want to win but last night we had none of these! we have to get 2 new defenders in , get rid of a few of the unwanted ones on loan, we deserve better and undecided wether to save the travel money and throw my brighton ticket away but thats not in the blood as they say marching on together but that as to be everyone no just the fans and half the team oldham whites forever!

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Sep 2011 21:51:16
here's something worth criticising. how bad was the Yorkshire Radio commentary tonight? I had literally no idea of what was happening in the game, bar the goals.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Same most weeks, Eddie constantly talks over Tom Kirwin, and they both talk nonsense a lot of the time. The whole radio show is a joke, listening to it last nite on way home and they had some bloke complaining about fact that he got to ground at 6.20 then did not move for an hour - riveting stuff!. and if woe betide anyone dares to complain about Bates

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Sep 2011 20:48:23
half time at elland road, we are loosing 0-3 and have been second best, but i still hope for a goal or two, also, snoddy has had another quiet game, he dosent look happy at leeds anymore, think something has happend we dont know about?? he used to thrive on showing off his dribbling skills and taking people on, now it seems hes happy to mope around looking like he lost a tenner and found a pound.... up the leeds

Believable6 Unbelievable0

Will the real Robert Snodgrass please stand up...! A second rate championship player at best, Clayton class again..!

Agree6 Disagree0

Really should have taken 3.5 million for Snod he clearly is totally disheartened by what is happening at Leeds. We all know KB would have trousered the cash but its at the point where Snod should be dropped anyway

Agree5 Disagree0

Its only what any sane fan expected,imagine our team in the premier league,get murdered every week,would need a complete overhaul of players,just highlights how far back we are,Berbatov,now a reserve player cost more than our entire team,how can we compete with that,think its brought some back to earth with a bump.

Agree2 Disagree0

Agree with all above, Snodgrass is fading fast

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Sep 2011 20:41:50
Absolutely bloody shockin! Snodgrass not interested, lightweight midfield and defence. Clayton your class but shame about whats around you

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Only Clayton takes any credit from that debacle. Maybe Fergie will loan us Fryers he looked different class to our poor defenders. Lees needs a break or his confidence will be shot

Agree4 Disagree0

Lets be fair,they looked like they could score at will,and to add to the Howson debate,yes he has lots of promise,but is miles away from being the finished article,we were second best all over the park,yes it was a second string side they put out virtually,but just shows the strength in depth of their side,suppose if we had the money we could try and emulate them,until we have similar financial clout,well stay where we are.

Agree3 Disagree0

I didn't see Johnny Howson until 60mins....
Snodgrass poor

Agree4 Disagree0

We are a very average championship side,we had the makings of a good side last year but sell our best player,bring in poor players,make an anonymous player captain,and STILL dont bring quality defenders in when weve had one of the worst defences for 2 years,it seems however crap Howson plays hes always in the starting line up,time for a shake up and at least 6 players bringing in,players who can boss midfield,defend,and are proud to wear the white of Leeds,we got taught a football lesson by Fergies second string,SG says he hopes the players learn from the experience,what about HIM learning from the experience too,he brings the players in and picks the team,time for change,the sooner the better.

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Sep 2011 20:26:01
We need to sort our defence out fast otherwise we are going to concede a lot of goals this season and might get relegated. Does anyone think the manager should be sacked?

Believable6 Unbelievable2

No i do not it is bate were is all the money
to get rilly good player bring back old manger befor bates came

Anyone going to Brighton Friday...!
Will be setting off at 10am to make sure - anyone know of any boozers we can all meet up maybe outside the town before kick off

Anyone Think Leeds Shud Play With Keogh On Left He Has Played There Before And Was Pretty Good Would Also Provide Cover For White Lonergan Lees Kisnorbo O Dea White Snoddy Howson Clayton Keogh Becchio McCormack They Have Looked Good Togetor When They Have Been Up Front At Same Time Winning Games Shud Off Lost Reminds Me Off When Beckford Was Up Front Except McCormack Is A Less Selfish Player

Why all the capital letters mate..!

I am excited about tonight and it adds a bit of glamour and finance. Its great to play the old enemy. However, it is ultimately a welcome distraction that fans and players should enjoy. There is no pressure. The real business is against Brighton on Friday. Would happily take a win there rather than vs Man U tonight. You have to prioritise promotion because-

1. Once there KB may sell and we may get investment.
2. We would be playing in one of the world's best leagues.
3. Worth 60 mill plus to the club and we can really rebuild as a top club.
4. The prestige, coverage and excitement.
5. We would play Manu U, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and City twice every year.
6. IT'S WHERE WE SHOULD BE!

I cant understand some people saying they would rather beat Man u rather than get promoted. I want to play them every year in the top league, not in the mickey mouse cup against a reserve team (full of quality though it will be)

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Hate to say it but anyone thinking about promotion with this squad is deluded. Snodgrass and Howson have lost heart and the defense is dreadful. I would take mid table now with the current squad

Agree4 Disagree0

Hi Guys
I'm a Man United fan but I would like to say all the best for tonights game.I think it will be a good game and the atmosphere will be electric.Although I think we will win tonight I don't think its going to be easy at all.I think we might nick it 2-1.
There's no doubt your lads will be right up for it and obviously we will be making changes however if you do win tonight I for one won't be blaming the side Fergie puts out anyone wearing the Red shirt tonight should be a quality player.
I can't wait for kick off.
Win or lose tonight good luck in the Championship it would be nice to play you at least twice next season.

Thanks Bazza,your a gent.

A nice decent man united fan, nice to hear some friendly comments on here instead of everyone slating eachother, we will beat you though :p

Nice post Bazza...!

Starting to think that after the loss of Mad Max Gradel we need a replacement pacey wide man to take people on and put balls in the box ( especially with Becchio returning). Nunez looks like a good player, but either as a withdrawn no10 as part of a front 3 or a traditional attacking midfielder. He is not a wide man. Sam is a good squad player, but maybe one more chance for Sanchez Watt. I know he was poor last time, but he has ability and is young. Could get him on loan with a view to a permanent move and improve him????

Im interested in Paynter we'#ll swap him with Hernandez

(Howson on left wing, started there a couple of times before)

Subs - Rachubka, Bruce, Connolly, Brown, Sam, Nunez, Keogh

Does anyone know of a Leeds friendly pub in London to watch tonights game?

Believable0 Unbelievable1

...Not even some pubs in Leeds are Leeds United friendly.

Agree1 Disagree0

Try the Red Lion

Agree1 Disagree0

Theres a pub called The Spice of Life (I think) at bottom end of Tottenham Court Road where it crosses Shaftesbury Avenue in the West End. Next to the Palace Theatre. It always used to get Leeds supporters in a few years back, but not sure nowadays!

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Sep 2011 11:10:31
Can't wait for tonights match, this is what being a Leeds fan is all about: games Vs Man Utd, I wish I was there the atmosphere is going to be something else.

Does anyone know any Leeds friendly pubs in London that will be good to watch the game in?

come on everyone were playing scum tonight its there cup final (only joking) feel sorry for all them scum fans after we beat them and they have a long journey back to London scotland Wales and where ever else they come from. They want to beat us so badly we are still one of their main rivals. I know on paper we dont have a chance but they said that on Jan 3rd if we dont beleive what is the point in going. Anyway looking forward to weekend at the seaside to recover from tonight. keep the faith marching on together

if sir Larry goes to his old club Blackburn as rumours are saying then he may save em from relegation - Bates will have Mark Hughes or Dave Jones lined up -- maybe things have got to the point where a change for Larry personally would suit him - what with all thats gone on ....hope not hes a good manager and a Leeds man !

Believable1 Unbelievable1

If he does go, i bet he takes Snodgrass and Becchio with him..! and of course Billy Painter and Andy O'Brien haha

Agree2 Disagree2

19 Sep 2011 23:41:22
Some leeds fans really piss me off im a leeds fan myself and when i hear people thanking him for saving our club when "No One" else it just pisses me off hes a crook who brokered a deal which was not in leeds intrest when some like don revies son who fans can really say has the clubs interest at heart, he has disgraced the club with what hes done with ex players like kilkenny and us person fans shud take a stand im delighted kilkenny has spoke out on what its like in camp and bates and harvey need ta leave and quickly

Believable6 Unbelievable2

This is why we struggle to attract good quality football players to our club..! look how many times on this site we have heard this 'another target missed'

Agree2 Disagree2

Tripe. What Bates said about Kilkenny was spot on. Kilkenny thought he was worth as much as Howson, Becchio and Snodgrass. He isn't and more fool Keith Millen for thinking he is.

Agree2 Disagree2

He did save us fact!
If he hadn't you wouldn't be playing the stum tonight.
More like Tamworth Town away.
Stop bleating and support the boys.
Leeds til i die.

Agree0 Disagree4

I Agree The Fact Is Howson Is A Top Player But Kilkenny Was One Of The Few Players Last Year Who Had The Ability To Unlock Defences With His Passing And Its A Sorry State Of Affairs When A Player Has To Leave Because Bates Doesnt Think Hes Worth It And A Team Like Bristol City Can Afford To Give Him More Wages Than Leeds Which Has Double The Attendance And Higher Ticket Prices, I Remember After The Liverpool Game Which We Lost 1-0 Redknapp Said Howson Had The Ability To Play At The Top Level Because His Vision Was Second To None And When Howson Contract Is Up In Summer I expect Tottenham To Be In For Him Like Last Summer
