Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

25 Jun 2012 23:21:51
I really wish people would write believeable rumours on here. Some of them my 5yr old daughter could come up with and thats before she's had story time. Before you all start saying it's a rumour or banter site. I KNOW THAT!
What it isn't is a what a load of bo==ocks site. Half of the people look for a name thats unattached or in the paper that day and think. WOW! i could be the first to say he's coming, he's coming.
I wouldn't mind but not one person has a real source or contact. Half of them would see Elvis before seeing a real target. I totaly love this site and all the banter on it. Just want people to stick to whats real and whats jackanory.
I'm just as frustrated as you lads and wish the club would stop playing hide and seek, with the most loyal fans in the world. We deserve better than what are waste of space chairman delivers for us.
He should know we are Leeds and we'll never be mastered, by you,by you cockney ba==ard.
PROUD TO BE LEEDS!!

THE truth about the investment.....

An announcement will either be made this week...

.... or it won't be.

Prove me wrong.......

The most accurate rumour on here!

Believable8 Unbelievable2

Ive got a sneaky feeling this takeover has hit a snag somewhere..! and us the fans won't find out until pre-season when KB announces the familiar line '' we were at advanced stages''

Please prove me wrong - make the call

I don't think that will fool Ken - you ain't gonna find out what's happened untill HE is good and ready to spill the beans, have you learnt nothing over the past few years?

Think there is one thing for sure if this is just another Bates gimmick or rues he certainly has achieved the desired effect. Without him saying a word there has been more tabloid lines written more reports of being in the know or knowing someone in the know about is it investment or is it takeover than talked about who shot JR in Dallas back in the 80s. In addition phoney price wars and purchases are the cause of actual movements in the world markets. Mr Bates might just have created interest from his own rumours. I hope for every Leeds supporter that a sale of the club is imminent and we can get back to just speculating about who's coming and who's going. PhilBramley

I would be happy if this is true! But I thought Cpt. Bates was looking for 80 mill? Or was that just another rumour too!

I'm sick of hearing Kenny's better than Lonergan or Lonergan's better than Kenny.
For a layout of a measly £500k we can have both quality keepers fighting for one of the most important roles in a football team.
Buying Kenny & keeping both him & Lonners is surely the way to go if we really are serious about challenging for promotion.
As for Cairns, absolutely nothing wrong with him going on season loan & getting match experience.

Not sure tis makes sense, but we needs a goalkeeper who is basically sat bored all game...don't want flashy goalkeepers bored ones please

The thing is kenny and lonners are too good to just sit on the bench in this league and wont accept it

As I was walking past the old Master Bates office he was playing a song. I think it went. It's always tease tease tease. Should I stay or should I go now. Sounds we're in for abit of a clash this year.

If the Lizard of Oz returns to England he certainly won't be slithering back into a Leeds shirt.
Hope he joins another championship team though so that we can give him a reception @ ER that he well & truly deserves.

I really would like the opportunity to show Kewell what we think of him.There were many shameful acts during our demise, but he and his odious agent topped the lot! Steve H.

Agree2 Disagree0

I too have feelings about the guy joining the Turks! However, as many fickle fans do they forget what benefit Leeds United had from him. He was part of a great Leeds side. He left once things fell apart and I don't blame him for that. Let sleeping dogs lie and concentrate on who plays for Leeds United now. It only serves to wind players up to play well at Elland Road and my word theres been an awful lot of players on opposing sides playing well at ER over the last 2 years!!

what about stephen carr. free transfer from birmingham. any1 think he could be a gd addition

Believable4 Unbelievable4

Reading reported to be offering 2 million for Clayton,with Brian Howard coming to Leeds,wants a return to Yorks.

Agree2 Disagree3

What about my car on loan from the bank.

Agree1 Disagree3

Carr is a weirdo. He would not fit in at Leeds. Trust me.

Agree2 Disagree0

Any player considered good enough for Reading should be retained - they were quality last season and if McDermott thinks he's good enough then so should all of you on here who've said he isn't just to make excuses for Bates.

Takeover/investment probably already done. no need to tell anyone really is there .

Bit of a different topic here to usual posts about new players in, players out or the most talked about possible takeover...

I just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts are on the youth system and the players brought through this summer who have been offered contracts?? If you look at the group of youngsters to come through who made an impact in pevious seasons are these going to be around the same quality over time do we think.

If you go right back to the Alan Smith, Jonathan Woodgate, Harry Kewell, Stephen McPhail, Ian Harte, Paul Robinson group... Then we had Frazer Richardson, Matt Killgalon, Aaron Lenon, James Milner, Danny Rose.

Now we have a group come through with the Turner twins, Monty Gimpell, Simon Lenighan, Dominic Poleon, Ross Killock, Sanchez Payne, Charlie Taylor, Zac Thompson... Personally think there will be some big stars among this group. Futures bright, the futures white.

From what I've heard. monty gimpel is going to be a class defender. Hopefully

Agree5 Disagree0

Yes, a good crop to sell on for profit.

Agree8 Disagree0

Agreed with that post, young players will get a few appearances and be sold on, while we fill the first team with ancient freebies.

Agree5 Disagree1

Sell them on! Haven't you heard about the new league rules, you mean give them away. JD

ed call me stupid if this sounds stupid, i understand warnock is away for a week hol but if takeover has happened/is happening can he not leave his list of targets for shaun harvey or whoever to tie deals up?

So people saying nothing will happen are wrong?

I dont know about you guys because I personally havent seen Paul Green play, but I dont see any logic whatsover with selling Clayton and buying Green. Clayton did quite well this season, scored a good amount of goals for a centre mid, and he's 24. Green is 29 and I dont think he could be possibly any better than Clayton. True, we will be getting around 2 mill for him, but seeing as though we are signing frees anyway, that 2 mill probably wont all go to transfers. Plus, Clayton didnt want to leave, he has some sense of loyalty, which is hard to come by nowadays with Howson leaving and Mccormack and Aidy also wanting to leave.

Believable3 Unbelievable4

Clayton didnt impress when the going got tough - shirked - turned his back in the challenge - ability is ok but a Leeds utd player requires guts & balls for the cause .... collar turned at this level up says - grow up and get over yerself Adam - youve done NOWT yet ?

Agree7 Disagree1

Hes a good player and i think we should keep him. he only started playing not so well when howson left and he was stuck playing with michael brown

LJHS

Agree3 Disagree2

Talking about Brown - has he signed that 1 year extension on severely reduced pay that Warnock was on about yet???

Agree0 Disagree1

Claytons wage demands were too high and also we could make a healthy profit from selling him.. Where as Green was free..

Well... This Sunday is the 1st July (the date when everyone is expecting big things to happen)

I just hope it's not a big let down after all this waiting.

Would be nice to hear some positive news on the investment/takeover front and also a few more signings on free transfers.

I am expecting a quiet week this week and not a lot of info coming out of Elland Road.

it's going to be the longest week ever known.. 9:36am on Monday morning and I have already been searching all the social networks and papers looking for any news/rumours

Sankey.I

P.S to all the people who are going on about a certain Australian coming back to Elland Road... this will never happen while ever I have an hole in my a*se!!

players like him and maybe even Alan Smith, there are so many people who would hate to see them back that Warnock would not take the gamble of having bad atmosphere at our club, I personally don't think either of them would make us a better team anyway... too old and no where near as good as they were the last time they wore the famouse Leeds shirt.

Believable6 Unbelievable2

Agree with you on HK to much bad feeling at the club to ever have him back
I would not utter Alan Smiths name in the same breath as HK .
Smithy did everything he could for this club when here and also when leaving. To me he is a Leeds legend and cannot should not be compared to HK

Agree5 Disagree0

Might be a quiet week - Warnocks on holiday again.

Agree2 Disagree0

How do you know Warnock is on holiday, did you drive him to the airport or something then?

Agree2 Disagree1

Hold on a second in regards to saying Kewell's name shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Smith cos Smith did everything for Leeds. May I remind you Smith left his boyhood team he supported all his life to go the scum while Kewell left Leeds (the team where he learned his trade) to sign for the team he supported all his life so don't have the cheek to make a comment like that regardless of him signing for Galatasay. Just look at the situation with Celtic and Rangers over the years unfortunately a lot of deaths have been caused due to their rivalry which is a lot more than us and Galatasary yet plenty of players have left one side for the other. Try to take the blinkers of and be a little bit more open minded to the bigger picture.

Agree5 Disagree6

Bremner,Charlton,Hunter,Clarke,Reaney,Giles,Charles etc,THEY were legends,how the hell can you compare Smith to them.

Agree4 Disagree1

Alan Smith will NEVER go down as a Leeds legend, he left the club he loved for the club all genuine Leeds fans hate... I remember once reading a match programme from the days he was at Leeds and he was asked questions.. one of them being "if you weren't playing for Leeds which club could you see yourself at?" his answer was I couldn't answer that question as I love Leeds too much but what I can say is I would never wear the red of M*nchester Utd... Well done Alan first chance you get of leaving Leeds - where do you go?? All I can say is in my eyes John Arne Riise is a legend... just a shame the ball only hit his leg and not his neck!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Alan Smith left Leeds because we were skint and desperate to sell. The only club that offered cash was Man U. Put the 2 together and that is why he ended up at Man U. Plus, why wouldn't he go. Premiership football and Champions league with Man u or Division 1 football at a club with no money and on the slide. Its not rocket science!

Agree0 Disagree0

just off the leeds beaten track for the moment, how well england defended tonight, im trying to think when leeds defended like that, maybe woodgate, radabe, harte,kelly, or big dom and ferdinand, i really cant think we had such a solid defence last, please give me yours......hx white

And rooney is still a waste of space

Hi, it is a funny old game, after all the talk of Young and his alleged diving antics to get penalties last season, he himself misses one. Poetic justice methinks.

Agree6 Disagree0

I can't remember Harte ever being able to defend - Good free kicks or corners maybe. The guy cost us more goals at the wrong end than scored at the other!
