I'd let Diouf go, if we can get cash for a 32 year old who goes missing 1 in 2 games, it would be a bargain.

Some players are worth more than their physical ability and Diouf is one of them. He is a crowd favourite and will lift the atmosphere when he plays. I can see huge value in him as an impact player, not actually to the team but to get us fans to raise the roof when he comes on. We may need any advantage we can get for promotion next season.

What are u saying he has been good for us this season. when we were on edge and close to conseeding this season he held the ball up for us and calmed us down.

I'm saying he was a standout player in an awful season. since when is holding the ball up and time wasting good play anyway? we want forwards who score goals, he didn't deliver, and I can't see his performances improving in the latter part of his career.

I think we need to give Diouf another season, especially as we now have a manager who DOES have a clue what's going on. ?

Diouf for me is a good player to have around the team (apparently he's good with the youngsters). Also, he's a great bench player to have if you want to kill off a game and relieve pressure as his ball retention is excellent. Can also do a job if we're chasing a game as he sees gaps many don't, wouldn't want him starting though.

i think leeds should go for Jamie O'hara and richard stearman from wolves, Nathan Redmond from birmingham, Albert Adomare from Bristol City, Alex pearce and Simon church from Reading and Charlie Austin from burnley> Any thoughts?

Charlie Austin is going to be far out of OUR price range and over valuated.
The others are sensible squad strengthening options though.
MOT

Would you mind telling me how we will find these?

how many part time glory hunters have man u picked up over the years, I can remember them getting crowds of 28,000 in the 80s. moyes will still attract the best players because there are only 2 teams in England who can compete with them in wages. but what if they just dropped to 5th for a couple of seasons and had no champions league money with no backer like man city and chelski to help them. no fergie time, refs not afraid to upset moyes , old Trafford like a morgue if they go behind in a game, ferguson living long enough to see it all come tumbling down and leeds back in the prem, who knows.

So sayeth the sheppard, so sayeth the flock. Dear God make this come true!

Although Iwill just settle for Leeds being back in the Prem.

Amen brother!

Brian Howard probably true, I know his brother who is a massive leeds fan and he has been trying to get him to move to leeds for years, if were intrested Howard he will be here

Why would we sign Howard? Doesn't make sense.

Stilian (can't spell it) Petrov - what a legend - sometimes football needs to be put into perspective. Wishing you all the luck in the world in your retirement.

Well said mate

Football takes a back seat when a person has been through what Petrov been through
