Leeds Rumours Archive April 18 2012

Just been looking at a list of Championship players players that are currently out of contact this summer as we all know that Uncle Ken likes a "freebie". Fancy any of these?

Jay Rodriguez, Grant Leadbitter, Robert Koren, Matthew Bates, Adam Hammill, Robert Green, Tomas, Kuszczak, George Elokobi etc.

Its out of contract premiership players we need.

Thought we needed good players to get us and keep us in premiership!! Korean ,lead better, Rodriguez , green are good players !! So good post guy who posted info!id take half of them at least ! Then get Neil's rest in !! THE NOW IS WHITE THE FUTURE is BRIGHT Warnock will get the players who will fight for this proud club at long last!MOT

Rodriguez is definitely worth having a look at. Green is good, but I think we already have a solid keeper in Lonners.

We dont want green the ball is like a bar of wet soap for him

Green will be in premiership with west ham next season

Jay Rodriguez and Robert Koren are exactly the kind of players we need, along with a few ex premiership players

Leadbitter would be worth a risk and so would rodriguez. Elokobi is not out of contract and Bates is way too injury prone. Kuszczak would be intersting as long as we can get a decent fee for Loners

Rodriguez, hammill, elokobi and bates would be good. Leadbitter has apparently signed pre-contract to boro. The rest would be worthy signings but unrealistic

I personally think these are a good list of players, especially bates, rodriguez, koren, leadbitter and hammil

4th poster, your and idiot. Green is a right keeper, yeah he made a mistake in world cup, thats history! hes a qualiy keeper. better that lonergan.

Rodriguez is not out of contract in the summer. Hammil & elokobi will stay with wolves

Half of these players are not out of contract, however their loan spell ends at the current club - it doesnt mean they're out of contract, hammill, elokobi, kuszack are all on loan.

Jay Rodriguez is attracting interest from the likes of Newcastle, Leadbitted wants to go back to the North East, Green would draw premier interest, & Hamill should get a regular place with Wolves next season as Championship is about his level - Kuszcak, Elokobi & Tamas are potentials though.

Yes rodriguez is out of contract in the summer but would require a fee due to his age and can't see uncle ken spending a large fee as for Jordan Rhodes-no chance would cost too much {Ed003's Note - Jay Rod has another 12 months on his contract }

Simon Cox is set to hold talks regarding his future at W.B.A. It has been reported that he'll be avaiable to leave for around 3m, any chance of us making a bid? Would show massive confidence to Colin to allow him to spend so much on 1 player.

If you knock the M off the 3 and add a P then i think Bates might sanction that kind of deal

...Had to hit the "Unbeliveable" button as I think £3m is just too much for Bates.

Seems a bit dear for someone that hasnt really played for the last 2 seasons.

Wouldnt pay 3 mill for him, however i thought it says on SSNs that his contract is up in the summer so he would be on a free.

Pretty sure he's a free in the summer so wouldn't need to make a bid.

He's contracted until 2013, so he would cost a fee

So the fact that hes leaving on a free in the summer makes this rumour totally useless and no possibility of being true. even if it wasnt on a free id only be willing to get him for 750k

Again, contracted until 2013, this 'fact' that he's a free in the summer is nonsense. 3m is probably too much, again there are reports that he's valued at 3m, I havn't just made this up.

It's still perfectly possible that WBA could agree to terminate his contract in the summer in order for him to find a new club.

They would probably only do that if they don't think that a fee that they would gain is anywhere near enough to cover the costs of paying his wages for a year.

Personally, I can't see them cancelling his contract, so it'll be a fee Leeds can't afford.

Pretty ignorant original poster. firstly for calling Warnock "Colin". Dont people understand how than name came about? Why call our manager that?

Secondly, laughable that LUFC will spend £3m on a player!

With regards to the latest poster - Leeds fans need a sense of humour, you best get one or you will be pulling your hair out (if you have any left at this stage)

Original Poster - I do know why he's called that, and I use it because my opinion of him hasn't changed just because he has been appointed as manager, but then some of us aren't as fickle, if somebody asked me what I thought of him 6 month ago I'd have called him a w****r.

My point was that there was a quality player available and that if Bates allowed us that sort of money to spend on one player it would prove that he does back his manager.
