just a thought, we were full of expectation this time last season when neil warnock was in charge. we blamed him for lack of success on the pitch when it was bates who let him down.

what happens 'god forbid' if brian who has bought i hope wisely were to fail at making progress from last season, where do we go next?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hmmm we just sold Snoddy, Varney was his replacement, signed Norris. from a relegated Pompey. Told nw has no backing, Bates playing games with buyers. No mate 12 months ago we were mortified.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not that it would happen. We would have to implement evn more youth in to the team like murphy and matt smith. Then most of the older players would be offloaded. This won't happen anyway. GFH are backing brian and he has a full plan unlike neil but I don't blame neil for the majority of what happned.

Leeds won't be signing any wingers simply because BMcD plays the diamond midfield and will be using Byram and White/Warnock as raiding full backs. Expect Tommy Rowe to be the next signing before Le Fondre and a centre back (not Mills).

Outgoing will be Pugh, Thompson (loan), Drury & Norris

I don't think the player is mills who BMD said wanted silly money. We didn't get as far as an offer Bolton said.
I'm pretty sure it was dj Campbell.
He even turned down prem with hull to go to Blackburn for most wages.
The player to cap it all off for me would be le fondre,
Yes still need defender and winger but McCormack or hunt could play bit wider with le fondre up top. And smith to change a game. Great variation and quality.
As much as he did well last year I'd let diouf go if anybody.
Surely a choice of Morrison and diouf making way for le fondre would be a no brainer. shrew leeds

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Dont rate DJ anyway. One good season 7 years ago, if that was the case i'd take bridges back.

Agree0 Disagree0

I don't think we will sign any wingers as I think we will have a narrow diamond in midfield with byram and white as wing backs

Just my view but to all the people thinking we going to buy the ground back because of sponsors. Its a load of tripe. Think about it why would redbull sponsor us for 50m and we buy the graound back. The ground only costs I think 25m when we sold it. They would just cut out the middle man ie Leeds and just buy the ground them selves call it redbull stadium and be dun. Simples. So they won't be sponsoring us sorry people

Believable0 Unbelievable0

They can't buy the stadium. It is contracted in that only Leeds can purchase it for a set amount (I forget how much) for another couple of years.
After which anyone can buy it.

Just been down to Farsley to watch the whites and was talking to Brian with all the other fans after the game- and sum 1 asked will they be more signings Brian smiled and said next week fingers crossed!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The player he is meant to be signing is a ' key target' according to Brian

I'm just going to throw this out there. We should sign Dejan Stankovic

Not one to winge. Mcd is tops
Last year, pre season I said we had no pace and about 15 people posted heaps of teams that had been promoted without pace.
We were and are not one of them
We still have no pace and to get promoted we will need it. My main reason for post tonight is a question
If a team wins by 5, 6 or 7 etc - o. Would you expect your supposed number 1 striker to score one of them?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Yeah, providing that they play the full 90 minutes and that they are playing as an out-an-out striker. If you're referencing McCormack from today, you're wrong.

Are we expecting a signing or two today? Is Brian intending to bring people in before the Slovenia tour?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No he's not

Brian is aiming for two more by Slovenia as he said he is in talks with agents and all he has to do now is to negotiate deals with the clubs by the 13 th

Does anyone know that site where you can listen to LUTV without having it. I'm sure it's the mighty whites or something?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I don't think there is because I live in Ireland and can't get Yorkshire radio so I used to listen to the mighty whites on the Internet but it closed down so I'm going to subscribe to lutv to get live commentary for the season. I hope I was abit of help to you mate.

Google upstream/themightywhites

Irish Leeds fan!

Ustream I mean lol

It doesn't cost a lot and you can't use the excuse of feeding bates! Pay for LUFC and help build our squad you tight arse!

Agree0 Disagree0

it does cost a lot

I'm not a tight arse but I'm only 16 and can't get a job, plus living down south means I can't get Minster so I'm screwed if I don't have a stream

How much would you be prepared to lose for investment? A name change? A stadium change? Or as small as a kit change?
What would everyone be prepared to lose?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Defo not a name change no way. don't even like the thought of a stadium change but kit ( maybe ) we might be sxxt but we still love leeds. Mot.

Agree0 Disagree0

Am hearing on the grapevine we will have a world famous International player turning out for us at Farsley, apparently has had many clubs and fancies a stint at Leeds

the name: A Trialist

Agree0 Disagree0

If they changed the name of the stadium for investment of players I wouldn't mind. It would still be known as Elland Road. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

I know this sounds encouraging but I think he must have an attitude problem, look at the number of clubs he's been with and never gets a contract!

Agree0 Disagree0

I live near a big red bull factory in Ireland and when in to enquire about their sponsorship deal with leeds to see if they knew anything and they told me they may be the new sponsors on our new away shirt at the back of it. I know it sounds like I'm lying but this is what I was told.

Agree0 Disagree0

Which red bull factory is this now?

Agree0 Disagree0

So you just walked into a factory and they told you what the corporate marketing plans are? Did you really think that's believable. Of course corporate head office send down information of what's in the pipeline to their factory works to tell anyone who comes in off the street.

Right, I'm away to a Nike sweatshop to see what famous footballer is joining their brand soon

Nonsense!

There may be something happening in red bull and Leeds but its a bit sad to make up blatant lies. What do you get out of it?

Crmd

Agree0 Disagree0

Nenagh co tipperary Ireland.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its a long way to tipperary

Agree0 Disagree0

There's hardly a shop in nenagh, never mind a red bull factory. Did you drop into Mary in the corner shop and ask her?

Agree0 Disagree0

What do you mean there is bearley a shop in nenagh. nenagh is a big town with loads of shops and a red bull factory you've probally never been to nenagh.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nenagh a big town? Jaysus you mustn't get out out of that kip much.

Agree0 Disagree0

I get out all the time sure I'm going to Spain in two weeks and to see leeds v qpr in August and by the way nenagh has two football clubs nenagh town and nenagh Celtic. does that sound like a small town to you. what do you think ed {Ed007's Note - Tipperary is a lovely part of the world, I've only been to Nenagh once though and that was to play golf. It wasn't exactly a bustling metropolis and was long before any Red Bull factory was built, sorry.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey why is everyone slagging the town of nenagh off I've been there once and it was a nice place.

Not a rumour, just an idea?
What about bradley wright philips, contract just run down at charlton worth a go?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

A 28 year old who is being sent out on loan to league one teams. He is just awful. Any player who can't get in the charlton team must be terrible and his whole career he has struggled.

Agree0 Disagree0

Callum Harriot on the other hand, for charlton would be a brilliant idea. He's young fast, good on the ball and is showing good potential. He looked fantastic against us. 500,000- 1 million should do. Steer clear of Bradley though

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes get bradley in he's just the kind we need. scores goals sets them up and has a lot of pace

Agree0 Disagree0

No he doesn't, he sits on the bench at charlton, gets loaned out to a league one team and doesn't do that great for them. What do you see in him. He is NOT good enough for charlton WHY would he bee GOOD enough for LEEDS

Agree0 Disagree0

Because charlton finished higher in the league than us last season so they were obviously a better team than us

Agree0 Disagree0

Charlton are most certainly not a better team than us. Throughout the whole season we were loosely challenging for playoffs where as charlton were sitting in mid table. The only reason why they finished higher than us and a few other teams who were also challengin the whole season was because when we knew we had no chance getting playoffs we fielded weaker teams, sacked our manager and appointed a new one whilst they went on their only good run of the season which made them finish higher. Bradley is useless anyway so it doesn't matter

Lol mills is a slug, gms is 2 expensive and will b wanted by a lot and forrester is utter rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

05 Jul 2013 23:16:16
Matt Mills deal cancelled. Sad to hear it, cause I think he would have strenghten our defence. But he's the player BMD referred to beeing offered an "astronomical amount of money" by another club. Surely gaffer has a plan B.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

No way would a slug make our team better.

If the rumours are correct then ER is changing to 'Red Bull Stadium/Arena'.
What's everyone's thoughts on this?
I personally would prefer White bull arena!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

So long as it comes with 50 mill. 15 to buy back ground and TR, 20 mill to cancel out silly mortgage Ken took and the other 15 to spend on players I am all for it!

Agree0 Disagree0

Could be to buy Thorpe arch and name that red bull whatever. ER would aways be called eland road by the fans anyway.

Agree0 Disagree0

The red bull stadium, elland road

Agree0 Disagree0

I saw a few people on tw*tter saying it could be "red bull presents elland road"

If that's true surely people would just call it elland road anyway
