SK Brann beat Aaelsund 2-1 this afternoon. Austin scored again, no wonder they are desperate to hang onto him. We really need to get the deal sorted this week, 300k for a player worth £2 mill twelve months ago is a no brainer.

Leeds United are giving a trial to young French defender Sebastien Faure
The 21 year old played in Leeds 2-0 win at Alfreton Town on Saturday.
Faure is a free agent after being released by top French Ligue 1 side Lyon at the end of last season.
The young centre back made his debut for Lyon in the 2008/09 season against Metz in the French League cup after coming through the clubs academy system.
Faure struggled to break into the side managed by Remy Guard last season and he joined French Ligue 2 side Nantes at the beginning of 2012.
He was due to spend the remainder of the season with Nantes but Faure returned to Lyon after suffering pain in the toe he had broken in December.
The central defender has represented France at under 17, 18, 19 and 20 level.
Faure played in the first five games for the French side as they reached the semi-final of the under 20 World Cup finals in 2011 before missing out in the defeat to Portugal.

Roldolph Austin certainly looks like the player we need at ER this year to take us up. He's got power, pace, passion and a half decent shot. He's fairly cheap aswell and i reckon he'll take up howson's and johnson's roles in midfield. Heard the rumour that he is coming next week to leeds to discuss a deal but won't sign till after leeds get back from pre season for £350,000

Not a rumour so much as an idea James Mcfadden and Robert Koren anyone Mcfadden is free and Koren can be bought for 500k also think we should sign up Zak Whitbread while he's still available

Just a thought. Isn't 1st August a good day for a takeover. Even better 31st October, end of a lot of companies half year accounts. JD

Not a rumour but in my opinion if snodgrass goes then it looks like the takeover must be off. Anyone looking to buy a company would not do so if their best asset has been sold. I think that both snoddy and the club are waiting on a decision about the take over, possibly still trying to agree a price with uncle ken. Therefore if we suddenly see shoddy off over next week then I fully expect it to be announced that the takeover has fallen through. I believe that snoddy is loyal but wanted per football. If a big takeover happens then I believe he would want to stay as he would be aware of the big cash injection and greater possibility of promotion and prem football. Remember it's a massive move leaving a club, moving home with your family and moving out of the area. Why move all the way to Norwich, middle of nowhere. Leeds closer to Scotland and rest of his family. I guess we will see what happens in the text month.

You are so wrong. As it's been said a hundred times, the price has been agreed, due dilligence tells you that.

There is a busy airport in Norwich!

Agree0 Disagree1

Best asset.... hmm in a very average side, cash in imo he's an average player!

Agree1 Disagree3

Or maybe IF he does go (remember he's not come out and said anything so people are making assumptions off the back of Norwich making a couple of bids) maybe its because he wants to leave regardless of a takeover. People need to stop being narrow-minded and jumping to negative conclusions all the time!
