Agreed Andy. We're already haemorrhaging money. Why add to the pile? Let Brian do his job a`nd call for his head at the end of the season if that is your want

The next four games will determine Brian's fate. Millwall, Doncaster and Charlton at Home and then away to Bournemouth after Millwall. If we don't win some of those then I fear for us.

If the takeover goes ahead he will be gone and if we don't pick up he will be gone

Wow all this talk about mcdaid any one would think he is the new yeboah let's get to grips he just young kid who will play all next season in development squad with a few bench appearances

Wow why so negative. I would laugh if he finished as top scorer next season
Agree3

He will be top scorer when we are in league one next season.

RE-WOW poster above.
Why the negative comments to a player I presume you have NEVER seen play? this is why players come to LUFC and fail to hit off, encourage young talent its our future.
Your probably an armchair fan that has NEVER been to ER.

Just to name a few that came from across the water and i'm sure you wouldn't send back?

Ray Houghton may have passed over the Mersey on way down from Glasgow and Paul McGrath probably crossed the Thames coming from London but I think I get your drift!

Most of the players you have listed Andy are not from Northern Ireland, which makes your post look stupid
Agree0

Excuse me (invisible poster) did I mention Northern Ireland?
Andy MOT

"Most of the players you mention are not from Northern Ireland"? Seems to me he said from over the water . does that not suggest that the players mentioned could be from N. Ireland or The Republic of Ireland? All except two are from over the water as Andy suggests . Paul McGrath and Ray Houghton.

Dont think you took the hint Andy Houghton from Glasgow and McGrath from London!
Agree0

Yes Andy only two of the players on your list are from the same country as McDaid. Of those two only Jennings played lower league football in Northern Ireland, so not a very good example.

{Ed003's Note - does it friggin matter ?}
Google Paul McGrath it will say born Ealing London/meet Paul McGrath HE WILL tell you county Wexford.
Agree0

ED I never said and Ireland if you look back it was another poster who mentioned the north NOT ME!
Without getting political I could tell you where McDaid was ORIGINALLY born but don't want to turn the page into a slanging site.
As for McGrath born and bread in county Wexford STILL lives in the same village he was born ;)

Looks like we've signed Mcdaid, friendly has been arranged as part of the deal
Believable28
Unbelievable3
When is this young lad available? And is he even any good?
Agree1
Disagree0
He is only young so probably a prospect for the future rather than immediately but he has scored goals for fun at all levels so far (albeit in Irish league) and apparently netted twice for Leeds in a development squad game when we gave him a trial.
Agree1
Disagree0
Hasn't he only scored 3/4 goals. Has only played a handful of games though. Why Brian? You ll be gone soon and this kid will get released by the new manager along with Ariyibi

This is great news, a game against a club with European experience in the summaer. I still think we could win it, with B McD at the helm!
Agree1
Disagree1
I kid you not, it really pi55es me off when even when something positive happens ( the boy has a 10% sell on fee to them if he gets sold on and we still took him ) he is a genuine prospect, young, eager, hungry, and still some leeds slag it off, yes we've had / in a bad run, not what we all wished and hoped for, and B McD is under the cosh, but for me, I buy into his building and long term project, yes we want more, we been had for so many years, we all know we are a mid table team at best, but still expect us to roll over teams (were leeds ain't we), but the building process is starting, new owner (pending) his quote, " am I here to take their money, they have none" speaks volumes for me, and befor people question me, I've been an attendee at ER for 40 years now and a STH, so seen it all, been through it all and still going :-), on a lighter note on tue as sthi as it was, we had a belter of a time laughing at a pie my m8t got, it was a rock / total pi55 take and even the stewards saw the funny side and told us we would be ejected for "bringing in an offencive weapon" so even when its so rubbishty, just remember "we are leeds united for a reason "

So called fans that slag a young lad off they have NEVER seen play are NOT TRUE LEEDS fans in my opinion.
Really tells you something about negative comments when they WONT even sign a name to a negative comment.

Some "fans" want it bought for them, put on a plate and they want it now.
BMD might only be here for the short term but he wouldn't be the proffesional he is if he didn't make long term decisions that may benefit the club in the future - like this young Irish lad.

We don't want kids from unheard of pub teams, we want championship proven strikers to get us out of this league! We don't want to be here in 4 seasons time

I am not sure why you are so excited about signing a teenager part time footballer. He is a genuine prospect is he? Then why does he only have a 2 year contract? If he is any good he will be gone in 2 years for no money.

IAN WRIGHT signed a 1 month contract when he first joined palace as they didn't think he would make it?
Makes your statement about 2yr contract look a bit silly I'm afraid ;)

How right you are some fans want a team bought now and win things now.
Look at spurs £125 million spent and look worse than ever, you can't always buy success money helps but don't gaurantee anything ;)

IAN WRIGHT did not sign a 1 month contract, he had a trial. Get your facts right
Agree0

Good to see. Good luck to the young man and great to see we've beaten other clubs to his signature. To those moaning he's not a 'big name', remember Shane Long and Kevin Doyle were little known Irish youngsters when they were bought too.
Agree0
Disagree0
Doyle was a Republic of Ireland U21 International when he signed for Reading and had scored 25 goals in 76 games for Cork City. They were League of Ireland Premier Division Champions in his final year.
Long also came from Cork as the former manager of Cork was the brother of the Reading coach,
McDaid signed from Glenavon F.C. which is a semi-professional, Northern Irish football club. He is an U18 schoolboy international
Cork City are a professional Republic of Ireland football team
He is from a different country to Doyle and Long and his experience is at a lower level.
I hope he is very good for us, but I cannot see the comparisons.

Ian Wright had a trial very true, his FIRST contract (as stated by me) was month to month FACT :)
