ssn reporting an undisclosed fee has been agreed with Southampton for Billy Sharp - knows how to put the ball in the net!

Believable37 Unbelievable2

{Ed013's Note - It all stinks of Sam Byram to me if you know what I mean}

Yep, it's going to be one of those where they let us have him to sweeten the deal.

Agree1 Disagree1

Sam Byram deal may be involved but I would take Billy Sharp plus cash for Byram any day, we desperately need a goal scorer.

Agree1 Disagree3

Defo agree with Ed, Byram going the other way. him staying on the subs bench tonight makes it seem even more likely to me. Kinda disappointed if he does go. Personally show a bit of a lack of ambition. But hey I'm just a cynic!

Agree1 Disagree1

{Ed013's Note - Will need him for a few games longer now with suspensions unless he is bought and loaned back}

Agree with Billy. A full back who doesn't want to play, a guy who knows where the net is plus a wadfull of cash it's a no brainer MOT

Agree2 Disagree3

Not impressed if it happens Sharp is not good enough to push for the premiership next season ;(

Agree3 Disagree3

Have to agree Ed. Southampton surely now have a right of first refusal if they stump up 7.5 million. I can see Sam going on last day of window as Cellino balances the books still further.

Agree1 Disagree1

I agree with Andy, billy Sharp has lost the knack of putting the ball in the back of the net.unless the hock is a miracle worker, think that the whole deal could go #### up. Especially if it is linked as a sweetener for BYRAM. plus he's always said he would never sign for Leeds.
I hope I'm wrong and the hock does his so called magic., but we've still to see the boy hunt revive his goal scoring Career.

Agree1 Disagree1

Billy was due to sign for Leeds when Newcastle bid for Beckford, but it went tits up when Beckford scored that goal at olde toilet. And we asked for more money. He even signed a Leeds shirt in the cross scythes for a young fan.( Not sure if u can put the pub name in ed) so all this about he won't play for leeds is wrong. Think been messed about by us made him a bit sour though. Any how he played in a crap donny side towards the end off last season and made goals and got 6 in 22. By all accounts Saints manager has said he's been impressed by sharpe and he's in good shape

Agree0 Disagree0

Apparently the saints have agreed a fee with Dull city for Shane long £12 million? So it could be 1 in 1 out also, but like you've all said you get the feeling it's not the end of the link with Sam? Also a few reports say its on a free but others saying it's an undisclosed fee, think if it's a free that could well be a sweetener, BUT a great night to be a Leeds fan last night with 2 good young centre backs signing and we won, I just wonder if we're going to get that flying winger were all crying out for?

Agree0 Disagree0

£12 million for Shane Long is just staggering. Saints have been trying to rid themselves of Sharp's contract since 1.5 seasons ago. I think this is a 1 in, 1 out scenario and not related to Sam Byram. If we sell Byram, which I'd hate to see, because his would-be replacement just scissor kicked a guy yesterday, I'd hope we get full cost (£8-10m).

Agree0 Disagree0

strong rumors we have agreed a fee for billy sharp?

Believable29 Unbelievable5

Hope this one is right

Agree2 Disagree2

It will just be wages he been let go by Southampton I hope we get him along with 2 centre halfs I will feel a lot better

Agree3 Disagree1

Hope not.
Useless for Donny last season.
If they'd had RMc & we'd had Sharp they'd be in the Championship & we'd be in league 1

Agree4 Disagree4

I agree danum, he's a journeyman, I spoke to a Doncaster fan about him on Sunday and he said he hoped they didn't go back in for him!

Agree1 Disagree2

We can do a lot better surely

Agree2 Disagree3

Reading on personter, just, from Curtis Woodhouse, who has stated Blly Sharp has signed for LUFC fr undisclosed fee

is there a CB anywhere called ackroyd?. that would be blinding!
Then we would be "ON A MISSION FROM GOD"

Agree1 Disagree1

Where is it confirmed?

Agree1 Disagree1

Sorry mate, my bad! Just seen it on os!

Agree2 Disagree0

Confirmed on ssn, season long loan, warmed up this evening with team pitch side

Agree4 Disagree0

Cooper apparently going to sign as LUFC upped their offer.

Is this a case of MC and Sallerno being smart and getting him after the pressure got to the Spirites or, MC realising he needs to strengthen from within the leagues. With proven English talent.

Latter I think. I think the loss to Milwall was a small wake up call and now we may see some talent coming in.

Believable25 Unbelievable2

Now go and sign delort

Agree3 Disagree0

Ds looks like your right, bellusci, sharp and cooper, squads finally shaping up!

Leeds agree deal for Liam Cooper from chesterfield believed to be in the region of 600,000. Chesterfield have said the deal has been agreed but no comment from leeds. We have also been linked with Bellusci again, leeds will announce sightings tomorrow

Now on OS and he will be at Leeds on Wednesday to agree personal terms.

Agree2 Disagree0

Get these two defenders over the line and I'm happy with defence if Sam stays, if not would need another defender.

Then still think we need something else in midfield from what we have seen so far.

Up front is vital, I do rate smith will get us 15 goals but hunt should not play for us, he has been poor for ages why play him, Morrison to me is average so we really need 2 here. This is the hardest role to fill really so settle for 1 proven forward with some quality.

And why are we all (well a lot of us)so neg on here, OK we were crap at Millwall but we always are and still 19 days to get (after the 2 above) 2-3 other good players in, we ain't going to be world beaters but if we do better than 13/14th and have a way/plan of how to play then that will be progress for sure.
Can't see the Hock working but not about him really, nice guy brian/Warnock didn't work either.

Agree3 Disagree0

Pearce, beluschi, cooper defence starting to take shape now give Charlie taylor a run in the team at LB byram/berardi RB silvestri looks good give hunt and wootton free transfers and drop Austin and murphy get the young guns in find a proven goalscorer and we are sorted! MOT

Agree2 Disagree1

Cooper was at t/a today defo so could be good news let's see if he plays for chesterfield tonight

Fee agreed with Chesterfield for Liam cooper

Bye bye Wooton.

Agree2 Disagree1

Poleon gone other way as part of deal

Agree1 Disagree4

Latest rumour is that Poleon is going to Chesterfield as part of the deal

Agree1 Disagree3

OK, well credit where credit is due. I moaned when MC was not prepared to pay the extra little bit to get him before - so IF (that's IF) he joins, I admire that MC is not too big a man to swallow a little bit of humble pie. NO idea if Cooper will be any good of course, BUT he's a Leeds supporter, so presumably he will sweat blood for the club he loves!

Agree3 Disagree0

12 Aug 2014 10:43:57
Bellusci due to sign today & 3rd bid of £750k in for Cooper. MC has said these are 2 of 6 new signings we need to make after watching the Millwall game.
Delort, Agard, Sharp & a holding midfielder would do me!

Believable48 Unbelievable11

Agree with delort and Agard wouldn't mind us signing another winger instead of sharp don't know if his heart would be in the Leeds shirt

Agree9 Disagree0

Heard MC has signings of Messi, rondaldo, Oscar and Vidic. All are done deals but I fear they might not cross the line due to agent troubles. Apprently they are not happy to be on the same wage as wooten, hunt and Lewis

Agree4 Disagree1

Bermonsey white you could be right but I fear the crock er I mean the hock would only use them as bench warmers because come on mate could you really see Messi forcing Hunt out?

Agree3 Disagree0

Billy Sharp will be too expensive, ok he may be a free transfer, but, he will demand a signing on fee, and his current salary is in excess of 20K, plus he has a further year of that contract at Saints, so he isn't going to move for less.

Agree4 Disagree1

Been watching Bellusci on the 'net'. Looks skilful, so I guess that's another one that won't happen
