Heskey 0% chance of signing. St Ledger 25% chance as deal agreed with ipswich.

snoddy to leicester city for £5 mil .sorry ppl
Believable6
Unbelievable22
Hope your not trying to wind our northern friends up fella? ( ssshhh does it envolve donkey Becky going other way) :-)
Agree1
Disagree6
Why do u think snoddy hasn't been playing really
Agree3
Disagree8
Errrrm because he has just had an appendix op??????? If he goes anywhere it will be to the premiership not to another championship side so at least try to make a decent rumour up and stop posting absolute rubbish
Agree8
Disagree4
You will see snoddy surgery was just a reason to prevent injury
Agree2
Disagree4
Complete crap Snoddy would only move to prem what's point of moving sideways
Agree4
Disagree2
He better insure that appendix of his, apparantly he's worth 15 mill if you believe evrything ppl say on this site, lol. Get over it ppl he's (one of) the best players in a top 10 championship team. MOT.
Agree3
Disagree2
A move a Leicester isn't even side ways, it's downwards, it's where the players that don't fit end up to show how bad they really were.
Agree2
Disagree0
Im a 2nd year medical professional and there is no way that any sane surgeon would remove an appendix as a preventative measure, an appendix is only removed in case of infection due to faecal matter becoming lodged there
Agree0
Disagree0
Snodgrass will NOT be joining any Championship club. He has been offered a contract by 2 Premiership clubs and would have already joined one, had his illness not occurred. He will return soon and go for a medical with a club in the Premiership and if things go well, he will leave Leeds. Leeds will only sell for the money they want, suggested to be around £6.5m
Agree0
Disagree1
Speaking of faecal matter, 15mil ?
No way, hes good, but not that good, 4mil if we are lucky!
Agree0
Disagree2
11 Jan 2012 20:52:48
Can i just ask who all these lunatics are that think that Snodgrass would go for any more than 5 million??!! Serioulsy, he is a player who is 24, hasnt played Prem football, isn't a prolifiic goalscorer, isn't a Scotland defo starter, has limited pace and has had, lets say....stamina issues at times. He is a really good championship player, who could play in the bottom half of teh prem. All those saying any Prem club would pay 7mill+ are nuts! I even saw a post with people mentioning 14 mill! For real!
Believable12
Unbelievable7
Lol, (unfortunately) i have to completely agree. This is quite a factual post. he's going nowhere, and for the record i dont mind that as he is our best player apart from Clayton and Lonners. MOT
Agree6
Disagree2
I am the oringinal poster- I am happy for him to stay, he enjoys playing for Leeds and is a good player. Just think if we did get offered crazy money we would have to take it, Hope he stays though.
Agree3
Disagree1
I have to agree, i think its wishful thinking for anything more than 3 mil. on his day he is outstanding dont get me wrong, and he can change a game, but i feel he is too inconsistant.

Alan smith's a w@nker he went to sign for scum but we dont give a f##k cos we've got danny pugh
Agree4
Disagree5
Will people give alan smith a break...the kid was fantastic when he was at leeds, he gave leeds his £1m signing on fee to ease the debt and cried when he got sold for financial reasons. why he didnt come back i dont know, but i think there is more to the story than is being let out on the net...i'd welcome smithy back home to leeds provided he fills the critera we need as a footballer
Agree5
Disagree1
Very very sad that a few people continue to spread the "Smith return" stuff, they simply have other interests in the chap and don't have a clue as to how poor this guy plays his football. Smith is at best a League One player and should have retired years ago.
Agree1
Disagree1
Look... all you 'leeds' fans... alot you obviously care to ignore about alan smith going to man utd.... they were the highest bidders and only team willing to pay upfront... and the signing on fee alan smith recieved he gave to leeds utd football club to stop the team he loves going into liquidation. all of you saying smith is a traitor and scum no nothing about the real goings on at leeds or football! MOT BRING BACK SMUDGE
Agree2
Disagree1
Am sorry smithy may love leeds, but wen he signed for scum he didnt give q f*** about us, and wen he scored his first goal for the scum he kissed the badge, so in my opinion he was chatting s**t in this interview and tbh wudnt want him back!

Heard from Aston Villa ground staff that Leeds have agreed to sign Emile Heskey on a two-month loan, subject to fitness and medical tests.
Believable6

I am nearly sure heskey is out for the season so stop talking nonsense
Agree5

Out for a month injured. Do your homework before making stuff up to post!

LOL funneist thing i've heard all century, why would we want a useless muppet who can't score? we already have that in Billy Paynter and Andy Keogh.
Agree7
Disagree2
We no longer have Andy Keogh, He returned to Wolves you muppet. But I do agree with you in the fact theres no way we will sign Heskey. Wouldn't want him.

Happy to take heskey provide he's only coming to drive Lichaj and Delph up to ER

Why would villa ground staff know what the hells going on at leeds lol funny

KEOGH GONE BACK 2 WEEKS AGO YOU NOT SUPPORT LEEDS!!

Agree get Lichaj and Delph in plus a centre half. Maybe a centre forward who is quick enough to get into the box to get on the end of some crosses from Townsend and Snoddy

Does anybody know anything about Oldham Defender Jean Yves Mvoto. My mate seems to think we're interested in him but I don't know nothing about him apart from he's about 6ft 3.
Have any of you seen him play?
Believable1
Unbelievable7
I've never seen him play, in fact the only thing I know about him is that he's always available for transfer on FM! Stats are rubbish too!
On a serious note though, I wouldn't have high hopes over a League One defender when we're trying to get back in to the Premier League. However I could be completely wrong! Would be nice if we were aiming a little bit higher though in terms of getting players in.
Agree1

Leeds not signing puncheon has bates said we only want players that want to play for the club which to be fair is true plus he also said he didnt want to come in the first place so nash on puncheon
Believable11
Unbelievable1
He didn't actually say he didn't want to come, he saw an opportunity to play in the premier league, wouldn't you.. if you weren't a Leeds fan i mean?

Robbie Rogers Signed :) and St Ledger Is On Way Up For Talks Everything Agreed With Ipswich But Theres Is Doubts In His Mind About Signing For Them Hope We Get Him
Believable10
Unbelievable6
Just to repeat an earlier post of mine, St Ledger is absolutely terrible. Trust me as I know enough Leicester fans that have season tickets and every single one of them has moaned numerous times that he's diabolical.
Agree7
Disagree5
And I've just asked a friend of mine who is a season ticket holder at Leicester about St Ledger and he had this to say:
He moaned that he wasn’t playing after about a month, he got a few chances and made a few crucial mistakes. Back on the bench and then got another chance but didn’t really look great at all
Back on the bench and then confronted the manager infront of the Chairman about it!
He sounds like a proper clown, who does he actually think he is! He's rubbish and sounds like a trouble maker.
Agree4
Disagree3
How can St Ledger be any better than Alex Bruce, if Grayson thinks signing that clown makes us better, then he has completely lost it. By the way his treatment of Alex Bruce is wrong he`s the best Centre Back at the club along with Tom Lees.
Simon`s signings other than Lonergan in the summer were awful and I just hope he can get it right in this window, but if this rummor is anything to go by its much of the same carp.
Agree8
Disagree2
I don't know anything about this ladd but my opinion is he hasn't got a club for a reason. We need some proven championship players. We need a cb and rb, cm and a forward as none of them can score. Mc cormack needs 20,000 chances before he ever scores. I think gunter for rb, st ledger for cb, dont know cm probably loan and probably a loan for a forward. We all know bates wouldn't spend a penny if it was a live or die situation.
Agree5
Disagree3
And I've been a ST holder at Preston whilst he was there and he was absolutely brilliant.
Agree5
Disagree4
Sometimes a player needs a change of club to raise his moral and game - a move to Leeds could be good for him. Granted he's not the best, but we need defenders urgently
Agree2
Disagree3
Not too bad for Ireland. He's impressed me numorous times.
Agree4
Disagree3
Leicester hasn`t been managed brilliantly this season, You can hardly go by that lol
Agree0
Disagree3
I'm from peterborough. a few years ago there was a sky one show called "Big Ron Football Manager". St Ledger was playing for peterborough and didn't get picked. He caused a fight between the players,fight between the chairman (barry fry) and the manager (steve bleasdale).
He's moved to preston, they got relegated, and he signed for leicester. Same story again, didn't get picked, tried to cause a rift in the changing room, had a go at the manager and chairman and has now been transfer listed.
My friend used to play with him and is still a professional footballer (i won't say which club as i would drop him in it) and he says "he is everything that is wrong with football at the minute"
Hes a bad egg.............let him go to Ipswich
Agree10
Disagree1
I agree I saw the same program he was like a spoilt kid thinking he was some kind of big noise, we don't want people like that he wont play for the badge he's all about himself.. theres gotta be better options out there..

Al well and good another winger to keep sam off the pitch but we need defenders and possible center mid
Should be gettin st ledger form leister gunter from forrest matt mckay from rangers and I may get abit of abuse but get smudger back give the midfield abit more bite which wev mist from johnson and he will demand 100% from everyone
Lufc hughzy
Believable10

Give bite to our midfield my arse. Smith is crocked, finished, and a total waste of wages. Let Newcastle worry about his 70k/w contract.
Agree8
Disagree11
How much money for wages do you think we've got?!
Agree5
Disagree3
St Ledger is a definite no! Thankfully Ipswich look like sealing the deal for him, because I live 4 mins from the Walkers Stadium and every single Leicester fan I know have said the same thing.....he's a donkey! Ipswich's defence will be worse if he signs for them, better them than us!
Agree3
Disagree4
Re Smith - it's 60k p/w and according to unreliable Sun he's not bothered about wages but we'll see...
as long as hes fit and takes a wage cut I'd have him back
I support whoever we bring in to play in white shirt as long as they give 100 per cent
mot
Agree6
Disagree3
St Ledger is a stockin who only looks good for Ireland when he plays beside dunne! Defo need a centre half and give lees, White and Thompson a go at the back. As for smudger yeah he's on 70k now but he wouldn't be expecting dat from pops and he can't be any worse dan Michael Brown or Andy Keogh who both have been playing this season!!!
Agree2
Disagree5
Yes i agree id take smith back to.too many of you are bitter and twisted,all that matters is the team and getting to where we want.if hes rubbish then grayson has to take the responsibility but after watching valymeren v arsenal then id have him back anyday
Agree4
Disagree2
:) just want passion and belief we need an experienced head to kick arse a bit in midfield no doubt he's a gamble but AS would be hungry to prove a point
don't shoot me for it just an opinion
Robbie Rogers sounds good but won't judge til I see him play
defence & midfield needs addressing ASAP we say we miss Howson but too often he's blown hot and cold, Claytons gone off the boil but that doesn't mean to say I don't like or value either of them.
Agree2
Disagree1
Smith not coming back, we need one maybe two centre halves, a creative mf and a striker, i know this might not be popular - but why not cash in on becchio?, not been same player this season and dont think he will have been over impressed by what Bates said about him and his injury the other week
Agree2
Disagree1
11 jan 2012 10:40:38
its official robbie rogers has signed. he's a poor mans robert snodgrass get him for free and sell snoddy . more coffers in the monaco bank account me thinks.

Him on the left, Snodgrass on the right? Townsend is only till the end of the season..

Give the lad a chance at least we're not signing overpaid has beens

He's a poor mans Eddie Lewis same style of player - a makeshift for Snodgrass he will be gone this month
Agree2

Not the marque signing we were hoping for, but what do we expect from Titas Fook.... Now very worried for Snoddy's future
Agree8
Disagree2
We've signed someone... Let's get on his back before he even has a work permit! Is it any wonder players struggle when they come in for us. The pressure is ridiculous!
Agree6
Disagree0
Poor mans Snodgrass? How many people have even see this guy play really?
Let's give him a chance and see how he gets on.
Townsend, Snoddy on wings, Rogers as back up, rotation along with Lloyd Sam. White can play wing and LB. Pugh can do LM, LB and Centre Mid. Midfield starting to shape up nicely. Brown and Vayrnyn and solid, few mistakes from Brown but good squad player. Howson when he returns from injury. I'd like to see some defenders come in now and maybe another proven goalscorer.
Agree7
Disagree1
All of you saying Rogers is crap you obviously havnt seen him play i have seen him play twice on tv and honestly this lad is seriously talented i know its the mls and all but this lad has unbelievable pace and seriously quick fit however i do think this means snodgrass is leaving hope not though
Agree6
Disagree0
Midfield shaping up nicely .
have you been to elland road lately
Agree2
Disagree3
Iv watched some videos of him and he is probably too slow for this league and definatly too slow for the prem. American game is alot slower and i dont think he will make decisions quick enough. Give hom a chance tho, ya never know he mite work well in the end.
Agree0
Disagree4
No offence but don't bother watching videos they mean nothing. Filipe Da Costa was suppose to be a fantastic signing after what people saw in his videos, and same with Ramon Nunez.
Agree4
Disagree0
Dont slag him off before he's even got onto the pitch this just support him for flip sake, he's a leeds player and thats that. When we bought the likes of gradel and snodders no one knew they would turn out to be like they are now.
Agree3
Disagree0
Da Costa only played one game for us, he looked decent in that game then disappeared..

Id Like Ta Add Everybody Was Given Out When We Got Gradel And He Was Savage For Us Give Rogers A Break Think He Is Gunna B Good He Was Once Mentioned Along With Freddy Adu As Future Stars Of US Team

Offical club site. Winger/striker full of pace and Grayson feels he will make an immediate impact on the championship. It's also on wiki. Signed last night subject to work permit. So I suggest you look a little harder before running people into the ground
