Looks like warnock has accepted that he won't be getting the funds before the close of the window (unless we're lucky with the takeover) so has resorted to loans. This might not be such a bad move because if all goes to plan and we get promoted with the loanee striker getting some goals, then we are likely to sign him on a permanent basis anyway!
MOT
Complete smoke screen from NW takeover has been completed new owners to be announced on the pitch prior to kick off. NW has already moved to close in on 3 permanent moves today, two will be unveiled neither are FP.i
Nteresting reply,can you give us some proof of how you know all this?leeds,leeds,leeds!!

Last I heard, there were "necessary legal matters" still to resolve. But the feeling is that there's not much talking left to be done #lufc
from phil hay
Legal matters will probably be related to ownership of TA as council own part of the land and one of cuddly kens companies own the rest, so if its legal matters with leeds city council it could drag on for a bit longer still

Paul Connolly has joined Portsmouth on a short term loan.
Lets hope he impresses and secures a permanent move away!
MOT
Hope Pompy can get him full-time, he should be decent at that level and it'll help their rebuilding process. Can't help but sympathise with Pompy can you?
DonnyLeeds
Fair play, I hope Paul does well wherever he goes, he's a LUFC man who served us well during a tricky last season.
LR, Northants
Yeah I feel sorry for them no doubt, having to take Paul Conolly ffs.
I met billy painter and connoly in antalyia airport in turkey, funny enough on the same plane. we approached him, he's a decent guy but conoly was sat down eating hariboes!:O They both said they wanted to stay... P*SS OFF..!

Connolly on loan to Pompey...we get Peltierfrom them seems fair {Ed013's Note - I am confused}
Peltier was at Leicester.
We got peltier from leicester.
WOT the hell you on about ??????
Think its ment to say we have got plenty from them so this seems fair.shows how good a player connolly is when he has to go impress pompey for a deal.
Im glad hes on loan, i just hope that even in their state Pompey are contributing at least something to his wages, not expecting 100% but at least something
Or maybe he meant Pearce from Pompey
We got him from Leicester!

Ross mac give new 3 year deal & club cpt
But according to Huddersfield fans he was at Huddersfield yesterday and was joining them. Funny how made up stories come back to bite you!
He isnt going to be captain at all
What thay dont know is that roudes is signing for us next year in the prem he he he
17 Aug 2012 17:02:29

Lust said that they expected the takeover to be completed before the wolves game. Wouldn't it be amazing if it was announced just before kick off that it had been completed! That would be sure to create maximum atmosphere at ER!
Mot
No, they didn't.......they remain confident but have put no timescale on it
When did they say that?
Wouldn't it be amazing if LUST actually got it right for once !!
PeteMOT
Hate to say it but LUST are not really helping the situation. I know they have good intentions at heart, but these announcements have only served to build fans hopes up, only to dash them and then give hope again. When the wolves game has been and gone with no sign of a takeover, fans' hopes could be crushed beyond repair.
MaltaWhite
The atmosphere will be great anyway come on this is the start of the football season. We have built a strong squad without investment. Let's not become like the prawn sandwich brigade like some clubs we do put part and support our team whatever, let the money men worry about the other stuff
Wish it was true for neil to bring in what he wants and if he does get us up i would love it if he stayed with us nw is becoming a true leeds fan
who would of thought that a few year ago
17 Aug 2012 15:32:21
Media understands Swansea City have made a bid for Blackpool defender Alex Baptiste. However, there could be competition for Baptiste, with Wigan, Leeds and Nottingham Forest also thought to be interested.
17 Aug 2012 15:54:45
Fletcher, O'hara and Doyle all out for Wolves tomorrow. Jarvis plays.
Dont want to wish ill on other players, but that's brilliant news!
No fletcher is a big bonus for us though ebanks blake was very prolific at CH level last time around so we need to be very careful
17 Aug 2012 15:17:42
Just seen heard Becchio is going to LA Galaxy, giving us enough money to re-sign Beckford! Heard it hear first, wont happen until after tomorrows game though. Not sure how this makes me feel, i like Becchio but Beckford needs to come home!
MOT!
Go away we dont want beckford better available cheaper!! o.w
Were u heard this??....BIGSAV
Where you heard this i cnt see it being true my friend nt after ross signs a new 3yr deal
Total bull .why would we get rid of becchio for beckford
Yes, but when NW joined he said he had been trying to sign becchio for ages so i dont think hed let him go
What a load of crap. beckford can stay where he is. he doesnt belong here anymore he made that choice over 2 years ago
Why o why start beckford stuf again YES we are after a striker BUT there's far better out there for same money!he will make us us too one dimensional where everything has to go via him YE He scores loads of goals for us but HEY who wouldn't with the amount we created for him! He also missed loads too..... Come on let's move on forwards getanther striker in and see rest of team ie midfield,score their share as they should do! As without necks the ball will be played thru them not bypass them
Wingy Mk Leeds for life MOT ,!
I dnt belive becchio is going to la galaxy if we get rid of the people on the transfur list we will hav enough money 4 beckford
beckford home soon plz
Becchio far better a team player beckford just lazy and greedy could get slot better than him
Becchio to be sold because hes been horse poo recently. Beckford wants to come back, we can get him cheap, he can score load of goals if played right, he was never played the way he is succesful. On the shoulder of the defender, using his pace to burn off defence. Beckford and Macca up front will be class, plus Gray used as the big man for when we need to just hoof it! You'll be all wetting your pants when hes back and then whos the person.
Just spreading the rumour from a Galaxy fan re becchio then heard beckford via a fella at YEP.
BELIEVE! MOT!
Utter bs, leicester already stated beckford not going anywhere and the same goes for becchio, just made up rubbish
Absolute rubbish. Beckford belongs in League 1. Misses too many chances. Won't get the same number the higher he goes. Not good enough for a promotion challenge. Becchio works his socks off and is a team player.
17 Aug 2012 15:14:02
NW admits only way of improving squad now before close of transfer window is by bringing in one loan signing.
Lets hope its a quality striker - Maynard perhaps?
WibseyWhite
Great news. Ross just signed new 3 year deal. Just need that big target striker for him and Beccs to play off now. Maynard fits the bill well, but looks like it will only be a loan if available
Hi, please define big, it cannot be Maynards height, as Luke is about the same height, and he would not be my idea of a target striker for someone who is taller, i.e. Luciano.
17 Aug 2012 15:06:44
Warnock is set to look to the loan market to further strengthen his squad before the window closes
17 Aug 2012 14:21:49
Leeds to sign Alex Baptiste - he will be given the number 6 shirt. As soon as he completes his medical after a 600k bid was accepted
Kisnorbo already has the number 6 shirt
Paddy Kisnorbo has already been allocated number 6
NO CHANCE. A lot of other teams after him that'll be willing to pay more than 600k!
17 Aug 2012 13:01:56
Leeds reportedly looking at Alex Baptiste from Blackpool. do we need another defender?
The D man
How you know this ? He would be good signing strong fast experienced and can play cb or rb
Swansea in for him and we cant compete with that!
Yes we definitely do need another defender, an injury or two, a suspension and we are light back there
Grahamc
It wouldnt hurt to have another defender. but another striker would be better
Yes but not him
It would be nice to but think we need to invest in attacking options now
Could be a very good signing in my opinion
We do need another, Kisnorbo is the only recognised backup at CB if this deal pulls through which i dont think it will, Baptiste should start ahead of lees then kisnorbo backup after lees {Ed013's Note - Monty Gimpel or another Youngster could be used}
We ant gor £6 quid never mind £600k
16 Aug 2012 22:29:18
Please tell me this piquionne is not true.if it is I give up.this so called takeover is ruining us at the moment.if it was near then piquionne would be nowhere near.if it doesnt happen then bates is even more better off than last year nett income on players wise.
I have to trust warnock but this is deperation
There doesn't seem to be any news on him having signed. I agree he's a total waste of space... And we all thought it was gonna be Nicky Maynard!
You give up? ruining us? jeez, quit the dramatics!
The bloke can score goals what was that for donny
FP wouldnt be the worst buy he can score goals and is certainly more proven and at a higher level than nicky maynard and is not as injury prone! wot u giving up on like? your club doesnt need you if your willing to give up on them so easily!
LtKK
It's not a rumour,to my horror!
According to sky he's going to leeds.
just getting my head around EHD signing
but FP this is a shocker.
Original poster..more proven than maynard at this level.check again mate
Still no mention of him signing on OS..
Not in squad listing..
Don't think we should be panicking just yet about him!
Hopefully SSN are wrong being being fed bull by Fitzy!
As for people calling for Warnock out.. need to be questioned of their sanity, and if they really are Leeds fans?
OMG all this doom n gloom before we've even started the season, can we cut em bit o slack and at least let us get a few games under our belts before we start slating the lads, suppose if EHD or freddie Kruger nets the winner tomoz they'll be brilliant signings....... MOT bet ur glass is always half empty :-/
Sky sports have removed it, thankfully! Number 9 shirt still free. Rumour has it we will sign a striker before the Wolves game.
Wouldn't he of had to of been signed by now to be eligable to play tomorrow?
Gizmo MOT
If Piquionne was signed he still wouldn't get on the pitch ahead of what we already have. He's so slow now he probably couldn't attempt to fly-tip and get away without being caught. Oh, hang on a second ..
Love it .. Fitzy new Sky Sports Source
No news updates on Picciuonne so hopefully a Sky News blooper. Nothing to say we haven't already signed a striker or that a new signing could be introduced tomorrow, but highly unlikely anyone would play tomorrow anyway......
