The Players that I would like to see at ER before Wednesday are;

Eric Lichaj
Stephen Quinn
Clint Hill / Matt Kilgallon

Personally I think Micheal Tonge is worth a punt? Would cost peanuts as he is surplus to requirements at Stoke. He is experienced at this level, Has a good track record and would help players like Howson and Clayton develop futher as he is the same type of player as them both :)

Sign them up SG

Believable3 Unbelievable1

Definitely don't want or need Kilgallon.

Agree but not Kilgallon

Don't expect any big signings on the last day, no outs or ins , there isn't major targets on the radar, if ne1 does come in the it will only be a loan to fill the bench

I think we need to get off a few cases, especially OB.

Yeah he struggles for pace, but he can play. He has carried an injury into this season and had only pld 45 mins of a non entity behind closed doors friendly prior to the seasons opener at St Mary's. I say he was fed to the wolves and should have beeen protected more. Paddy's as slow and if OB had have slammed that og into the top corner at Upton Park we'd have never have heard the last of it

OB and a quicker more rugged centre half would be ideal...I would def give Lees a go in the centre of the back four as this is his natural position. We then need a quick fullback (Kelly from Fulham is a good shout) and all will be much better back there.

We need to lay off OB and when he's fit, firing and has his confidence back he'll be ok.

Whats the difference then between Lonergan and Beyonce?........shes only got 2 tits in front of her har har.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 17:25:19
Just seen re-runs of Ipswich goals come on Lonergan should have saved first one easy and second he was so far off his line he was in a different post code. Saw Kasper's saves from weekend cracking performance.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

If you've seen a re-run then you should therefore know that the officials made a huge error in sending White off. If we had still had 11 on the pitch Ipswich wouldn't have had those chances.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont talk out of your arse !

Agree0 Disagree0

So what you are saying is that you want Kasper back then? And that Lonergan isn't as good as him? Get a grip love, Andy is better than Schmiechel

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh Andy, Andy! Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy Lon-er-gan! Lonergan has been immense and is way better than Kasper

Agree0 Disagree0

Relax lads - don't think the op is a Leeds fan.

o'Dea can not play at LB he just gets run raggid poor signing if you ask me -.- not as bad in cb but not an inprovent to OB if im honest and thats saying something Lees has impressed i think he can do the job at RB, white not bad at LB but need another one in for cover if not first team, cb Kisbo (brilliant) Need new CB to partner him, Midfield fine Maybe one more loan striker and when becs and somma are back we have noo problems can i just add i think longeran had been oustanding thoughts please?

Just seen White's 'Red card' - pathetic...never a sending off, the bloody forward, emanuel thomas pushed him over first causing white to fall and trip up the guy Joke...you know how the song goes...WE ONLY GET S**T REFS.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

I hope Bates and Grayson show some backbone and appeal against White's sending off. The initial foul, even if it was accidental, was on him ... it should have been our free kick. It was obvious to everyone in the ground and, so I understand, even Steve Claridge mentioned it on the TV. It won't change the loss of three points but, if overturned. it will prevent White from being suspended for three games. And what's the alternative? O'Dea at left back and O'Brien at centre-half? Christ, we will be in trouble then ...

Agree0 Disagree0

If Claridge mentioned it that shows how blatant it was - he hates Leeds.

Wow never known such negativety from leeds fans. If we had of beat ipswich then everybody would be singing the praises of SG. He tried playing for a draw which is fair enough. We should of had it wrapped up by HT but it happens. Were not gunna spend money on average players....i mean look at ipswich and leicester, individuals. Were a good team with stability and potential. I reckon people should stop moaning, support the club and get off the back of KB and SG. Our club is stable and out of debt with a shot of PL in next few years. Wed of took that when we were -15 at bottom of league one with a chelsea scum in charge. Gus poyet did the hard work. MOT FOREVER

Totally agree. S**t refs have cost us 6 points already.

Agree0 Disagree0

I struggle to understand some of the refereeing decisions at top level this season both in the premier league and championship. Some abysmal decisions in terms of cards and game changing decisions. What the hell do they get told. Howsons was a disgrace and whites again was shocking.

^Yeh I agree with you mate.^Remember Phil O'Dowd away at Swansea last year? Prime example. Another was Chris Samba on Fellani this weekend. What the hell was that all about?

I wouldn't have been singing the praises of larry and never have.

We should have been out of sight at half time, but we weren't and with our poor defence we need to take those chances, after all we can't stop conceding.

We haven't spent money on average players your right. Larry has just signed average and below average on a free using up the wage bill. Bruce, connelly, Bessone, bromby, O'brien. All been failures and drifted intermittently into and out of our back four creating instability

We are a group of individuals. The back four is the most unstable and individual selection of men I have ever seen play in defence at elland road. None of them seem to work together or play well together, mind you who would blame them I don't think any of us have seen a consistent back 4 partnership for some time. We have a select few who play, that doesn't make a team when only a few stand alone players put in great performances.

Then larry picks his favourites and leaves his form players on the bench???

If we got on the players backs we wouldn't turn up at elland road week in week out and follow them away. I hate this element of fans who think that because we have sn opinion or disappointed with the performances, managers, players and board we can't air our views as it's seen as negative and on their backs.

We can all see the problems, enough of us on here are saying the same things over and over again and have been since before the season started.

Drop your rose tinted glasses and get off the fans backs that have an opinion what ever it is. Sick of being called a k**b, Pr**k or whatever else for stating the blindingly obvious and that's that Leeds united is lacking in a lot of areas.

I pay my money home and away so sm more that entitled to my opinion. I back my team by paying to watch them home and away, I sing and applaud when it's good. At the moment it's bad

Agree0 Disagree0

A valid posting....you pays your money, you get your say. We have had the defensive issue for nearly two years now surely it's acceptable to say that to still have the same issues two years on is unacceptable

we need to sign a new cb someone like sodje and lb also we need to get a midfield we shouldnt have sold delph killa and johnson. we need a new forward to play with beccio mccormack is crap
also what has happened to rikky naylor hes gone from bieng our captain to bieng released

Believable0 Unbelievable3

Are you serious? naylor was pants, and also kilkenny. johnson was alright but is not missed, sodje was good at the time we had him and unfortunately for him decided to go to charlton instead so wouldnt want him back. mc cormack has been knocking them in this season and will continue in my opinion

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with the gut above, what has the original poster been watching this season? McCormack easy one of the better players so far

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 09:43:37
No way do I agree Grayson should go.his heart is Leeds.apart from Southampton we haven't played too bad,very well in last 2.but the obvious problem is just a bit of balls and investment.one more good quality centre back.a class midfielder so we don't need to see brown again,get rid of odea.I liked barry bannan if he played his best position.and I think forsell would be good as becchio back soon and with Nunez and mccormack some good choices.so I say,lichaj,bannan and someone like ridge well or Wilson from Liverpool.come on Ken nearly there

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Lichaj and Bannan are on the subs bench at Villa doubt they will be loaned out.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 09:36:06
I dont know if its just me that thinks it but O'brian is a very poor player and everytime he is put in cb i am worried about conceding goals, we need to get a new cb that can cover for O'dea and Paddy if they get injured

Believable1 Unbelievable0

It is only you that thinks OB is a very poor player. Everyone else thinks he's a total sack of mono brow Sh@t

Agree0 Disagree0

Bruce?

Agree0 Disagree0

Tom Lees can play CB

Agree0 Disagree0

I like bruce cant see why larry doesnt give him a chance, unless its due to off field reasons and he is not regarded as one of larrys lads ie brown, obrian and paynter all s##t but still get picked.
whats happened to monty he is meant be one for future but i bet he would p##s all over any of the above.
chorley white

Bruce and SG had a bust up in training end of last season, my source: academy player training with leeds squad (yes they do sometimes before anyone says they dont...he heard Watt talking to Snoddy

all this negativity from some leeds 'fans', were FOUR, yes, FOUR games in and youre acting is if its the end of the world just because we have 4 points, SG is going nowhere so get the idea of Gus, Dougie etc. coming to manage out of your heads, weve been v unlucky every game except the So'ton game and deserved more than what we got, Ipswich was cruel but we can take the positives of a good hard working squad, you saw the performance against WH, proves we have what it takes to compete with the best teams, 10 men against even the worst teams still shows trouble, people need to face the fact this is one of the hardest divisions to get out of, anybody can beat anybody, so lets GET BEHIND THE MANAGER AND GET BEHIND THE TEAM

Believable3 Unbelievable3

We are 5 games in, yes FIVE games.

Same old Leeds - let's go 1-0 up and sit on the lead...

Why dont we do the Real Madrid of old (considering we probably have the best attack in the league) and just score more than the opposition
We are ALWAYS going to concede, due to our whole back 4 being absolutley s*ite, no matter how much SG tries to change it Just use attack as our defence and when we go 1 or 2-0 up, try and make it 5 or 6

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Totally agree,the only defence worse than ours is Arsenal,we CANT defend a lead so best just attack,seriously need a good defensive coach as soon as,dont now what Snodin and his mate are doing but it dont work,still you cant make a silk purse out of a cows arse,need some quality defenders quick smart.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2011 01:25:32
to the person promoting Dave Jones as if he's his agent, Jones was given massive backing by his board at Cardiff, and still failed to get them promoted to the Premier League. stick with Grayson, he's no miracle worker either, but has done well up to now.

Believable3 Unbelievable4

If SG had sorted the worst defence in the league out yonks ago,automatic promotion would have been a doddle,the best attack and the worst defence,its not rocket science,get players in who can DEFEND,we cant hold onto a lead and just hope we score more than them,wheres the quality,premiership players we were promised,hes made some craking signings,Becchio,Nunez etc,but look at the s**te hes brought in,Paynter,Bessone etc,without defensive signings well struggle in the wrong half of the table,needs sorting NOW.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry to burst ya bubble mate but Gary Mac signed Luciano :P but yeah SG brought in some half decent signings, every manager brings in good and bad, look at Lucas for Liverpool hes terrible {Ed001's Note - Lucas is terrible? The same Lucas that is a regular in the Brazilian national team? Oh yes, he must be terrible because it is not like they have a lot of players to pick from is it?}

It's about time that fans realised that this mess we find ourselves in is nothing to do with personalities and is simply a mass accumulation of unwise choices both on a financial and playing squad front. Simon Grayson is a good man doing the best he can under the immense pressure being applied to him by a greedy egomaniac with a questionable business ethic. Unfortunately SG has proved that he is not the man for the task in hand and should be judged on his results over the period he has been in charge. They simply are not good enough to meet either KB or the fans expectations. SG's signings on the whole have been poor, but he continues to back his own judgement displaying a sometimes excessive stubborness (O'Brien, Connolly, Paynter to name a few). He also continues to sign players who he then never picks (Bruce, Grella, Bessone, Kandol, Showunmi) but who at the time he insisted we needed.The club needs to grasp the nettle before we are 15 points off the top 6 and bring in a whole new regime.

However, who is going to want to take on such a huge task with KB keeping a tight hold on his cash and the weight of history and desire hanging from their neck? I can see one person with an ego and arrogance to match the chairmans and the self belief to think he can achieve success. A man with the necessary CFC background to satisfy KB - that man (unfortunately for us I believe)?? Ruud Gullit.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Finally someone who speaks sense apart from the last paragraph I hope

Agree0 Disagree0

He didnt sign kandol and who would you sign for free or have no money to spend and no wages to spend on
hand tied he as done a good job get real
easy to say sack him get a manger in that can sign good players for nothing
dont think so
name a manger that can

Agree0 Disagree0

I did not say I wanted Gullit, but with him being ex CFC and a bit flash he is KB's cup of tea. He'll certainly push the profits up in Leeds Clubland :)

SG has not done a good job, only an adequate one IMHO. Why does he persist in signing s**te that he does not play but still has to pay? He is too stubborn to recognize Paynter is a League One donkey and that O'Brien is long past his sell by date. Don't even get me started on Connolly, who is possibly the worst defender ever to wear white (Roque Santa Jnr. included). Nunez deserves a long run in the team just as Somma did and please get rid of Brown. Paddy will never be the player he was again as he has lost all of his pace and turns about as quick as the QE2 since his injury. Simon must go now whist he retains some dignity and let him run a club without a parrot on his shoulder that holds the purse strings. Somebody like Eddie Howe who is young, talented, can coach a defence and who is used to having £2.50 to spend would not be a bad choice. Sorry this is a bit fragmented, but I typed it as I thought it. MOT.
