What doe's everyone make of Noel Hunt supposedly signing for us? Don't know how true it is, but I can ask him Sunday night. He's getting married this month and is having his stag in my hometown of Ennis, Co. Clare this weekend! He owns a pub called The Dugout and sponsored jackets for my team. So we have to meet him Sunday night and thank him and get a few pic's with him. Looking forward to going down with my Leeds jersey on. Hope Ian Harte is there as well! I'll be back on Monday with answers! EnnisWhite.

No thanks you can tell him he is not prolific enough for Leeds and I personally do not want him at our club. A waste of good money that could be used on a striker with a better strike rate. Do you really want a load of strikers that aren't prolific? Come on you must want less players and more quality. quality not quantity.

Wayne bridge available on a free be a great signing MOT. Jp

Yeh, let's have him and harte to challenge drury and Warnock for the left-back-in-his-thirties position.

32 and would have at least 2 years in him. Good player. Good enough for harry, good enough for me!

Not a FACT but just personal opinion. Leeds transfer policy has been pretty consistent over the past few seasons in that we balance the books with sales in order to make purchases i. e. the sale of snodgrass allowed the purchase of Pearce, Varney, Norris. Unfortunately in order to fund the changes needed BMcD will need to sell Byram however I would be suprised if we achieve the £10 million transfer fee that others are predicting. I think it is more likely that we will receive £3m to £4m and a player in exchange. This will finance the purchases of Wabara (the replacement for Byram) and others. Early acquistions will be through free transfers as the deadwood has been moved on to free up wages

We have no reason to sell for a low fee like that.
If Wilfred Zaha is worth 15 million then Byram is worth £10 million. England has tons of future wingers (Walcott, chamberlain etc), but has no quality future right backs (G. Johnson is very poor).
Plus if Byram goes then that shows the club has no ambition and it's the same old system again. I won't renew my ticket if that happens until GFH are gone (I put up with Bates because there was no one else - but these mugs shouldn't have bought it if they never had the cash to invest - should have let Preston Haskell buy it)

Byram is no future england right back, fans are so biased, he's an average player in a poor team, weak and out of position numerous times this year. Has only 1 foot, I recon he'll play for sunderland, west ham/brom. Certainly not the top 4 and most definitley not england

I think the last poster is not realising how old sam byram actually is to say he's an average player. are you forgetting that players improve and to say he's weak haha give me another rb whos handles bale last season like byram did

To the poster who labeled sam byram an average player. this has been his first season in the senior team and he's done amazingly well he can only get better and with the clear lack of quality RBs I can't see why he won't be in the england squad. don't forget how well he played against premier league opposition despite never playing against players of tht quality before

You've hit the nail on the head, its his first season in the senior team, so how do you value him at £10 million?

Get real

Because that the value that his been marked with not by biased leeds fans but by the professional football world.

He had bale in his pocket. enough said.

Food for thought more than an actual rumour.

Would it be possible that IF Reece Wabara signs from City we have an agreement in place that if we don't get promoted next season then City are first in the queue for the signing on Sam Byram?

Just something that crossed my mind more than anything else, as we all know Byram is not going this transfer window, the lad has said it & McD has said it themselves. What sort of relationship would that be if McD says he's not going then the club sell.

Thought Reece Wabara was out of contract soon so its nowt to do with man city who he signs for

think folk on here play far too much fifa. let's hope brian will get some gems like Austin, who was never mentioned anywhere until signed, and i'm sorry ed13 if you that great, why you not scouting for us, or taking over harveys job, because someone needs to. just give me something look forward too this season, I hope still not feeling same old cr*p next season.
