"A host of Championship clubs are looking to land West Bromwich Albion defender Craig Dawson, .

The highly-rated 22-year-old has yet to play a league game under Steve Clarke so far this season and a number of Premier League clubs have shown an interest as a result.

Swansea were one of those understood to be keen, but that West Brom have opted not to sell.

They are also unwilling to loan him to a team in their own division, but they are ready to let him get playing time in the Championship.

It is understood Wolves, Blackburn, Leeds, Bolton, Leicester, Barnsley, Burnley and Nottingham Forest are all keen on doing a deal for the England U21 international"

Report coming from the daily snail that:

Leeds United manager Neil Warnock is close to sealing a deal for former Portsmouth striker Aruna Dindane.
The 32-year-old is a free agent after leaving Qatar-based Al-Sailiya Sport Club after just six months.


Thoughts!? Certainly not the icing on the cake!

Leeds to sign paul gallagher from leicester650k plus future incentives good player.

Believable13 Unbelievable35

Can take a good set piece, otherwise useless

Agree1 Disagree0

I can't see it happening as a Leicester fan only because he is believed to be on extortionate wages when Sven renewed his contract

Agree0 Disagree0

John Arne Riise to be released by Fulham, this is one 32 year old I would welcome at ER, certainly for the remainder of the season at least. With Drury out and not a favourite of Colin's Riise would add something we have been missing all season, a good left back who can attack and still track back to cover. Our back four could learn from him.

Believable56 Unbelievable19

Is this the same riise who turned us down many years ago whilst we were riding on a crest claiming a money issue, funny how the worm turns eh!
foxrat

Agree1 Disagree0

Think this would be a good idea, but I think gfh are worse off than kb sp I can't see any big name signings.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Jan 2013 22:02:53
He could have come to Leeds way back when and chose not to, for that reason I don't want to see him here now.

Agree1 Disagree0

Riise is slow, defensivly week, tactically awful, has a difficult personality - primadonna and no team player. Definatly a player who wood fit at Leeds!

Agree0 Disagree1

This IS the same Riise that turned us down, Pugh, Drury, Peltier & White ???we are full of quality in this area. He would wipe the floor with the inconsistent untalented dross we have in this position. if he signed would this set your lip a quivvering and you would take your ball home.

Agree0 Disagree0

I would welcome a player of this quality coming to ER, problem is this guy knows how to play football, on the deck with some skill, he certainly wouldn't fit in with the long ball rubbish that warnock is serving up!

Agree0 Disagree0

Wordsworth; Anthony Wordsworth from Colchester {Ed013's Note - ???}

Believable5 Unbelievable27

His contract expires at the end of
the season. If Neil Warnock can't
hack it let's get him and Nigel
Adkins.

Agree0 Disagree0

I wandered lonely as a cloud...host of golden daffs etc.
Come on lads, where were you today volunteering to put straw bales on the pitch to save the pitch for tomorrows game eh eh ?
Morley whites.

Agree0 Disagree0

Going to town by the looks.
I'm from Colchester and used to hold a season ticket. Not a bad player, but opportunity to move up the leagues is gone for him really (imo) purely because it seems to have come too late for the lad

Agree0 Disagree0

A player (unnamed) were due at thorpe arch today to do his medical but were unable to get there due to the weather. NEW SIGNING WILL BE DONE ON MONDAY (dependant on weather)

Believable17 Unbelievable24

Surely if it was someone big would've used helicopter or something more suited to weather instead of the number 47 bus lol but that probably sums our transfer policy upto now tho buying of the jumble rail instead of m&s for a change

Leeds for life MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Is it that snowman off m&s advert, I believe he'd be on a free now Xmas over ?

Agree0 Disagree0

Signing contracts can be done remotely in solicitors offices, just like exchanging contracts when buying houses. No need to do it at Thorpe Arch

Agree0 Disagree0

Wake up and smell the coffee there is no money at the club to sign anybody
that's why warnocks touting becchio to any one who wants to listen to his bull

Agree0 Disagree1

Ye the snowman contract ended in tears on 31/12/12 he said m&s wanted him to do another video for the summer but apparently the snowman started losing his headless nose body and insider said on the qt he was bait of a drip

Agree0 Disagree0

Leeds are interested in Jack Frost, but the deals gone a bit cool :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Contracts can be signed anywhere, very true. however you can't do a medical without the player!

Agree0 Disagree0

Or a doctor, was he also stuck in the massive snow drifts we are having in Leeds

LOL

Nigel Adkins in
Puncheon to follow

Believable22 Unbelievable44

A class manager like Adkins wouldn't dwell one solitary second on being manager at like Leeds after being at Saints for the past few years. Warnock needs to go though, and fast!

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you being serious, Adkins would jump at the chance to manage Leeds, Warnock for me though, give him some money & he'll get us there.

Agree0 Disagree0

Remember Adkins managed Scunny if you'd manage there you'd manage anywhere!

if we lose to bristol warnock will be sacked and nigel adkins will be in on a monday. need a fresh up to get promoted. if adkins comes big chance for lambert to come in

Believable20 Unbelievable35

Hope you get lucky and bring in Nigel-but no chance of Lambert or Puncheon. Our chairman may be a "person" but he has covered that one.

Agree0 Disagree0

Doubt he would one before compensation was sorted out!

Leeds to sign rickie lambert and puncheon for 9 million

Believable13 Unbelievable76

18 Jan 2013 17:26:33
Don't think we will rip ourselves off somehow

Agree0 Disagree0

I heard 19 million!! :D

Agree1 Disagree0

We haven't even got 9 pence never mind 9 million

Agree1 Disagree1

No chance-£39m (if they were for sale) BUT THEY ARE NOT.

Agree1 Disagree0

18 Jan 2013 18:09:04
no one knows how much we have but i'm sure we are rolling in it, don't think someone would buy a club for 50mill and not have money tied up, just sit back and wait i'm sure they know what there doing mot

Agree0 Disagree0

I made it up for a laugh to see who would a agree lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Once again they had to[ay by instalment hence they didn't have enough to pay up front and also colin said we couldn't compete for the signing of wood who went for 1.2 so hardly going to spend 9 mill on 2

Agree0 Disagree0

It wasn't the cost of transfer Colin or gfh couldn't match for woods going to the foxes it was the high end wage payments they wouldn't agree to breaking the pay structure

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jan 2013 14:35:44
Three players at top of list.. Duff. Kevin Doyle. Adohmah.

Nigel Adkins to replace Warnock as manager source Prison officer that works opposite Thorp Arch training ground who is mates with some of the Leeds squad.

Believable25 Unbelievable42

Love it!! you can't make this gold up its that bad!! or can you? lol

Agree2 Disagree0

And of course some of the Leeds squad would be the first to be consulted on the day he got his cards at Southampton wouldn't they? I'd love you to be right but your story within a few hours of Adkins going beggars belief I'm afraid.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jan 2013 15:37:06
How the F Would a screw from a y.o.i whos who at TA

Agree0 Disagree0

With any luck

Agree0 Disagree0

Prison officer that's a good one ha

Agree0 Disagree0

Are you sure it isn't Rebecca of 3 miles from everyone fame who is putting this rumour about?

fatfreddyscat

Agree0 Disagree0

Apparently the prison officer is in fact the head of the sports section at the prison and does have contact with the Leeds United Academy across the road, as to him been told of the ex Southhampton manger coming to Leeds by the players seems a bit far fetched. Unless someone else within the Academy has said something.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah...the kind of stuff you talk over having coffee at the training ground. Get real mate....

Agree0 Disagree0

You mean Rebecca doesn't live 3 miles from me? Heartily disappointed.

Nigel adkins to be next leeds boss knows how to play passing football and proven experience at this level just heard this from my mate in leeds

Believable30 Unbelievable28

My mate in Midsommer Sodbury say's your mate in Leeds don't know what he's talking about.
Isn't it strange how as soon as a pretty boy get sacked the reason must be he's heading for Leeds Utd.
There are plenty of Prem sides would take him on for a proper pay packet.

Leeds to sign Albert adomah on Saturday night or Sunday if Warnock wants him after the Bristol game he will be at thorp arch

Believable11 Unbelievable29

He is with Ghana for African cup of nations! So I doubt it!

Agree0 Disagree0

Adomah has just linked up with Ghana for Africa Cup of Nations duty so probably won't be at Thorp Arch on Sunday!

Agree0 Disagree0

I am not sure he will be there monday as I think he is at the africa cup of nations

Agree0 Disagree0

Isn't he at the Africa nations cup?

LS2_MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

No he won't because he is at the African Cup of Nations.
Check your facts/rumurs chap :)
MOT
Excroggywhite

Agree0 Disagree0

Hardly when he's in Africa for tournament..

Agree0 Disagree0

He's at the African Cup of Nations - so will be nowhere near Thorp Arch

Agree0 Disagree0

Is that the same Albert Adomah who's in South Africa getting ready for Ghana's first game on Sunday afternoon? Not saying he won't sign for us but (though apparently some Prem clubs are interested) but he ain't playing for Bristol tomorrow and he won't be aty Thorp Arch this weekend.

Agree0 Disagree0

He won't he's off to the African Nations cup!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Isnt he at the african cup of nations?

Agree0 Disagree0

Someone posted this already and my response is the same. Why lie? He's at the ACON with Ghana. He's not coming to Leeds, he won't be at the match. He's not in England, not even in the UK, not even in Europe!

Leeds are in for Tom Huddelston on 1month loan also I have herd that Titus Bramble looks set to arrive on a 1 1/2 year deal from Sunderland for around 900k

Believable8 Unbelievable41

BRAMLE OMG!One of the worst footballers I have ever seen. Hope not

LLHB MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Bramble is worst defender in the world if that's gfh icing on the cake then god help us I could run faster with both my legs tied behind my back. the bulldog

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont Want Bumble, we need quality.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cant see the Tom Huddlestone rumour being true especially now Sandro is out for the season. Heres hoping though (and dreaming)
MOT!

Agree0 Disagree0

Why is huddlestone only coming for one month ? Isn't he worth better as his club are open to offers for him?I've heard this a few times but bidding clubs haven't followed up on bids ..... Really would show some gfh intention if this was true bring it on .......

I been told claudio Ranieri is to be next leeds boss... heard it first here..

Believable11 Unbelievable55

Adkins just been sacked, warnock next = you do the maths.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nigel Adkins sacked as Southampton boss. Should Leeds fail to beat Bristol tomorrow (and there's a good chance tbh) I'd have him at ER in a heartbeat. He might not get us promoted this year but at least the football will be better to watch.
MaltaWhite

Agree1 Disagree0

Lets hope your maths is correct I would love Adkins as manager

Agree1 Disagree1

Warnock won't get sacked while Bates is chairman because that would meanadmitting he was wrong. I know people say he isn't still in charge but if that was the plan why wouldn't he just have gone straight to club president? GFH said they wanted him to run things til the end of the season because they have no experience and I've seen nothing to suggest that isn't true. Reading up on GFH's past business activities they look like gamblers, so I think they'll spend once they stop listening to Bates.

Agree0 Disagree0

If we can't get Poyet, Adkins would be an excellent choice, given funds and more importantly, time.
He was doing a great job at Southampton. Treated particularly unfairly and was already turning things around... bear in mind this was effectively a League One transitional squad in the Premier League.

Agree0 Disagree0

Leeds to sign Anton Ferdinand for 750k at end of next week

Believable24 Unbelievable49

Lol he's worth a tad more than that. you pay for prem quality and he would have 2 be mad 2 drop down a division when he's always been prem class

Agree1 Disagree0

He isnt prem class at all, that's why Harry isnt playing him. Good enough for top of Championship so would be a good signing for us but I just cannot see it happening

Agree0 Disagree0

Prem class my arse, just about kept his head above water, Rednapp see's him as surplus to the bottom prem club, that says it all.

Agree0 Disagree0

Really hope not, he's not as good as he thinks he is!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Poster 4 spot on. Don't think Ferdinand would be any improvement on what we have. Don't want Bramble either.

Agree0 Disagree0

Believable26 Unbelievable41

Hes at ACON with Ghana at the minute so won't be at Thorpe Arch for medicals or talks to get a deal signed this weekend. Why lie?

Not likely as he is Africa playing for Ghana

18 Jan 2013 08:17:35
I hope this is not true but there's a cheap carthorse ready for knackers yard named Fallon at Aberdeen. Warnock thinking of squeezing the last sign of life from him with a cheap signing. He was hopeless at Plymouth before too.

Believable12 Unbelievable31

Had him at Barnsley nvg nickname was
male model

Agree0 Disagree0

As an aberdeen and leeds fan i'd laugh my b*llocks off if this was true he's useless!

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jan 2013 00:55:17
Apparently Bates is having the final say on all transfer dealings both CMS and Senderos have been to thorpe arch for medicals but we were not willing to part with 6 million. Also Bechhio has been in talks with Wigan, old news I know. The lad who told me said around 3 weeks ago CMS was at Thorpe arch. Take it will a pinch of salt. I'm not saying I am in the know but thought i'd share what I heard. It might be a load of crap but who knows?! I guess we will find out in2 weeks if true and if its rubbish I apologise

Love Leeds MOT

Diamondlight

Believable9 Unbelievable64

Nonsense. Players wouldn't be at TA until a bid had been accepted. They would then be free to discuss personal terms and then arrange a medical when an agreement has been made

Crmd

Agree1 Disagree0

Agree with 1st reply completely. No medical takes place before deal agreed.

Yes, we know it's a rumour site, but please stop posting utter garbage.

Agree0 Disagree0

Like I said it may be absolute bull!I don't know what goes on behind the scenes and I don't think you do either. Think of chinese whispers its probaby a distorted rumour. I think we have been in for good player but think bates may of said no! Like I said in the rumour it maybe wrong but I expect an apology if parts are right.

Agree0 Disagree0

As soon as you mentioned bates I knew it was rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

As soon as I mentioned Bates? Do you not know he's still acting chairman mate?

Agree0 Disagree0

You said it there yourself "acting chairman" if you had spent as much time getting some facts as h have making up rubbish you would know he's there to "help" oversea the changeover not make decisions on players! Basically he's still there coz he wouldn't budge and gfh wanted the deal done so they allowed him to play his little game, then even stated at the press conference that the buck stops with them not him. So if your waiting for an apology then I'd get comfy if I was u

Agree0 Disagree0

I stopped reading after "Apparently!" I can't believe the Bates conspiracy theorists are still making noise!

Thin Blue White

Agree0 Disagree0

Bates is Chairman but has no say over transfers as it's not his money anymore. He's there to provide management continuity over staffing on the non-playing side. Any posting saying that he has vetoed a transfer is just made up.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well I hope the cms rumour isn't true. doesn't score enough works hard but not good enough . just be another "Alan smith" type. senderos however would be ok he's big and powerful. pope from port vale is the one we should go for 24 goals in 27 league games . got to be worth a punt! Karl mot

Agree0 Disagree0

Well that's funny consisting poyet himself has said brighton have received NO OFFERS for CMS...

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for a decent response Karl. To the other lads I didn't put it up to cause an upset its called a rumour I had heard from a friend. As I said I am not personally in the know! Everyone else seems to claim they know about what happens in football because you read a few papers or you've been a fan for 40 years! You know nothing more than the programme seller outside the ground. I put a rumour up as its a rumour site. Now if I put Graham to sign by 8pm tonight then i'd expect abuse but I clearly stated it may be crap. MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

You stopped ready at apparently? Ha ha we all know that's lie. Still took time to write a post though didn't you after not reading it. You make me laugh.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why am I not surprised that Bates is sticking his oar in..I thought dfs were supposed to be running the club?

Agree0 Disagree0

LOL who ever made this rumour up has far 2 much time on his hands as he's replied to everyone lol its obvious this aren't come from your m8 its just a sad boy who has 2 much time on his hands lol 51 dislikes to 9 likes lol says it all
