Looks like we have lost out on Pavoletti the most promising of all the names I have seen us linked with. The irony is he looks like signing for Cagliari ( the Fiat ) on Monday and rejecting the chance to sign for a Ferrari. Hope Mass has a plan B to replace Ross's goals as Doukara isn't that type of player.In Cellino we hope

Would say more than in mc we hope, he has certainly done better by leeds than any chairman we have had since les silver. chin up we are going the right way

You have some knowledge of foreign players!
Well said bermondsey ;)

How do you know he's the most promising? Do you expect us to get everyone we are linked with? MC and his scouting team will have identified many promising players, they know the Italian League far better than you or me .
Just wait and see and stop whining .

He was asking for stupid money. Cellino said he wants player who want to play for us not for the money so see what happens

I believe Daniele Cacia is training with us and is a free agent after leaving Hellas Verona. Scored 24 goals in 25 Serie B games so hopefully Cellino will sign him up.

That seems to have been the case all summer - missed out on top targets di gennaro pavelotti gamberini antenucci n vivaniand we've ended up with much lower quality players!

Instead we have got hungry up and coming players that want to play for us and not money grabbing badge kissers . Give them a chance ffs

Who says we were chasing any of them anyway? nobody other than those who think computer games are real life had heard of Di Gennaro et al either

If only computer games were real life, my leeds team have just won league three times on trot and champs league once, now manage england as well and we just won euros. if only Leeds would be best team in the world and I would probably have a bigger gaff

Bianchi has officially signed its on the os

Just looked on OS and nothing on there yet?

{Ed013's Note - It has been confirmed, I just don't think they have anyone working the OS at the minute!}

Sorry my mistake might not be on os but is on twitter

Jonathan Rossini signs season long loan today with view to permanent, very close on French striker Souleymane Doukara (who I don't rate any better than Morrison/hunt)! Also cellino close on Gaetano Berardi a Swiss international right back because sampdoria need to sell!

12 Jul 2014 14:48:56
Why do you not rate him? what have you see of him?

12 Jul 2014 14:50:57
From what I have read, he has pace, strong and has a bit of skill, good for a player who can also played on the wing, Morrison and Hunt can't.

Suppose your both right iv only seen his 'goal return stats' and YouTube clips where he was loaned out to lower Italian leagues!

He's 22 as well. Will improve. If anything his pace and power will frighten defences like Beckford did.

Doesn't inspire me either. A real shame we look like losing out to Cagliari of all teams for Pavoletti who does look the real deal. But Doukara is on loan and I guess we haven't broken the bank to sign him, he reminds me of Heskey :-)

reports in italy claim agent of u21 italy milan striker andrea petagna is a target for leeds . due to an underwelming season leeds may be able to get him which may be a big coup as he as been touted as one of the next big things in italian foot ball with strength power and pace and heading ability

Would definitely have Andrea Petagna if he scored great goals like this a few times a season

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/great-goal-video-watch-ac-3158151

Another Federico Mecheda. one wonder goal and then nothing.

The San Siro club are prepared to let Petagna go out on loan to acquire some first-team experience, and Leeds United are interested in a deal for him.

You mean Mecheda done nothing up until 10 goals in 18 in a poor Birmingham side last season.

i would have both snap your hands off . even if its just a loan for petegna but if its a perm I would definatley take him
