Nick Montgomery has got injured whilst on preseason in Malta with the Blades. Typical Monty injured for a change - hopefully this puts end to us signing him. {Ed032's Note - did he slip on his leeds united towel?

Wikipedia is saying snodgrass is a Celtic player? Any truth or just some person editing? {Ed032's Note - wiki is not the most reliable of sources now is it?
Quote: "Celtic
On the 18th July 2011, Snodgrass signed for Celtic on a 24 year deal. The deal for the Scottish international is believed to have involved a £42.8 M fee in addition to a swap for Morten Rasmussen, who went in the opposite direction to join up with his new teammates at Elland Road." This definitely sounds like it could be true...... {Ed032's Note - me thinks it could be wrong
While your believing Wikipedia don't forget the Easter bunny and Santa claus are real and bates is Grayson 100 million to spend on messi Come on people
It would be good if we got £42.8m for him but I don't think Celtic have that kind of money. {Ed032's Note - matbe they will pay with nectar points
I saw the same thing on Wikipedia earlier on too before the original post on here and knew not to report it, knowing that I'd get told 'not to take Wikipedia as a gospel' or something by Ed {Ed032's Note - don't take wikipedia as gospel
Didnt wiki once say heskey scored 300 goals in 7 games for barca. hmmm seems that it could be believable with heskeys eye for goal
18 Jul 2011 21:30:54
Seems a lot of leeds fans getting a bit fed up and pessimistic about signings I still believe leeds will make 4 possibly 5 more signings possibly
Stockdale or lonergan
Although mccarthy and bates had words I believe he is a good player and we may sign him
Lichja almost definite
2 of smith quinn or monty
Tamir cohen is free? Worth a shot?
Possible striker hopfuly to replace paynter
Cohen would be a good signing, fingers crossed, but mcartney won't be back at leeds, we need someone who can actualy defend our left side he's goood going forward Ben parker through and through
18 Jul 2011 20:20:24
Emile Heskey on 1 year deal to cover for Somma and provide Paynter with competition.
I wrote last summer that Simon Cox was joining. I was wrong then, and I am wrong now.
I am 61 and I could provide competition for Painter {Ed032's Note - i would search the world for a striker called decorator just for the comedy value
Emile Heskey sounds unrealistic but then aagain wasn't he at Leicester with Grayson?
Leeds have been 2nd fav's to sign him on for along time now. I hope we dont to be honest.
Hi Ed, some people like Paynter and Deco rates him very highly :-) {Ed032's Note - that is bordering on genius
You have to admit, Heskey has loads of prem experience, He is a good football player who can score alot of goals in the championship, Leeds need a player who can score lots of goals like beckford for leeds, more goals, more wins
I would like to see the back of paynter, he is very poor, and i really cant see him getting any better.
18 Jul 2011 20:02:54
this is my first post on here, i work at sheffield train station, aidy boothroyd was on the 1811 which turns round at leeds and comes back to us to be cleaned. this service does not stop at any other major towns or cities. {Ed032's Note - thanks for posting but maybe he was shopping at harvey nics?
Or going to barnsley. afterall, thats not a major town or city is it lol.
Barnsley aint on that line nor is doncaster, i suppose from leeds he could be moving on to huddersfield maybe or bradford, kb is ruthless and if he could save a few quid on a manager....? {Ed032's Note - people on trains/ planes etc happens everyday
18 Jul 2011 19:58:42
Kurtis Guthrie of accrigton stanley is to sign for leeds in next day 18 year old stirker {Ed032's Note - source?
He has just signed for Accrington.false rumour
I know haha i played in same team as him in jersey lol he signed saturday didnt think anyone would know him would be good signing tho
Ive heard he isnt that good, misses too many chances
18 Jul 2011 19:30:22
I want to clear all the rumours about Robert Snodgrass leaving. In the Sunday Post (a Scottish paper) there was a full length column interview with RS in which he said how much he had improved since joining leeds, how much he enjoyed it here and the fact it was more like a family than a football club. Did not sound like someone looking to leave
18 Jul 2011 19:24:36
simon grayson to bid 1 million to get irish goalkeeper james keating on 5 year deal he is life long leeds fan and would love to sign FACT
If his middle name is Alfred then according to wiki he's good in the air
Sign him up quick have watched him play and he is class
1mil for a player not even on wikipedia, JESUS what's happened to the world
18 Jul 2011 19:17:18
Robert Snodgrass to sign for celtic in a 4.5 million deal which also includes Paddy McCourt as part of the deal
No chance snoddy and max will both start the season in a leeds top.
18 Jul 2011 19:04:25
Signings that will happen sometime during the next two weeks at Elland Road are;
David Stockdale (Season Long Loan + 24 Hour Recall Clause)
Eric Lichaj (Season Long Loan)
Nick Montgomery (Undisclosed Fee, Billy Paynter wont be included in any part exchange deal becase we currently have only two fit strikers)
Stephen Quinn (If no deal can be sealed regarding Nick Montgomery)
Daniel Pacheco (Loan deal, Most probably six months until Somma is fit again)
You really think we have a chance of pacheco? Im not sure tbh, Not a bad player though {Ed032's Note - no thanks i'd rather have suso
Is this the same ed 32 who said stockdale would sign on monday pacheco is a class act how di you become an ed anyway?? i know u wont print this just wanted you to know ur a bufoon
18 Jul 2011 18:34:29
Leeds to sign George McCartney. He fell foul of club discipline rules at the end of last season and Ken Bates had words and bad mouthed him in the press. SG, KB and the player went to dinner and ironed out their differences. He will return for 850k. {Ed032's Note - doubt it
Rubbish .... I doubt Sunderland would want any ££ anyway... Besides... He was cr4p...
NEXT
Personally i thought he wasnt that bad when going forward and crossing the ball e.t.c. but his defending was very suspect at times (Severe lack of Pace and had the turning circle of a crusise ship)
Reminded me of Ian Harte.
I've just watched the Motherwell highlights on LUTV. Every dangerous attack from Motherwell came down our left flank. If you remember every opponent last season attacked our weak left flank. We need a new left back, unfortunately George Mcartney is not the answer.
I thought the kid we had from Stoke was the best... Dickinson.. NO NONSENSE ..
Thats is what we need in team ..
Dickinson did well for Portsmouth last season {Ed032's Note - i like david dickinson - cheap as chips!
I was rumming around in the shed and i found an old brown bent leathery tool. Turned out to be david dickinson. {Ed032's Note - hahahaha were you on a bargain hunt
Wouldnt pay 85p for mccartney...lazy arsed fop
Must have been one hell of a meal to go from He has only played twice in the last six games. He has been fined more than once for turning up late in training. If he turned up on time and had a bit more commitment, then he wouldn t feel quite so tired. to we must splash out 850k to buy you and break our wage structure too. We will sell Max and Snod to finance it {Ed032's Note - ive heard spurs are interested in him coz redknapp feels lennon and mccartney would play well together
Would rather have Paul McCartney than him ... {Ed032's Note - apparently ringo good between the sticks
18 Jul 2011 17:48:09
Blackpools Matt Gilks is to be signed as No.1 keeper
The same matt gilks thats just signed a new deal with blackpool??
If you look on SS website, he signed a new deal with Blackpool last week
The same Matt Gilks Grayson did't rate when he was Blackpool boss and tried to sell?
Its true blackpool are selling all their goalkeepers and Ian holloway is going to play in nets for them next season lol {Ed032's Note - that would be entertaining
2 goalkeepers from blackpool, doubt it would much rather see us sign gilks instead of rachubka though
We hear alot of this but haha matt gilks lives on my estate in rochdale :) {Ed032's Note - lucky you
18 Jul 2011 17:09:06
news just in from yorkshire radio
leeds to sign sanchez what in a 3 year deal fom arsenal for 1.8 million
You got a link to this from the Yorks radio site?
Nothing definate being confirmed anywhere mate
Lets have some sensible posts guys. Do you really believe we would pay 1.8m for anyone?
Another useless post, nearly losing the will to live with some of the so called supporters on here.
If we paid 1.8m which I think is to much means gradel is defo on his way out
Given his lack of impact as an impact player last season i'm not even sure i'd want him on loan, let alone blow 1.8 million on him. No, wrong again, more pure speculation.
Your having a laugh right? He's not worth that much and no way would bates pay that for him when a first choice keeper is priority
LOL... 1.8m Leeds.... Ha ha ha.... Bates won't even spend 180,000
Your rumour might be slightly more credible if you could even spell Sanchez Watts name right. {Ed032's Note - you watt?
Thats false because i work at Yorkshire Radio and there was nothing about Sanchez Watt returning to Leeds
You Watt, You Watt, You Watt You Watt You Watt {Ed032's Note - you watt?
I have read some hilarious posts on here but this one really takes the first prize...Leeds United paying £1.8 million for anybody...so funny...ROFL
18 Jul 2011 17:02:26
Leeds have completed the signing of Striker Wayne Stevenson on a 3 Year Deal. The 21 year old is said to be delighted and cannot wait to show the fans what hes all about.
Have a laugh
you probably think hes your local binman ahahahahahah
Are you his agent or something? Get a life - nobody knows who he is or ever will do
18 Jul 2011 17:00:42
Sammy Clingon joing Peterborough for £850k -
Leeds can't close the deal with Coventry holding out for £900k - Another target dwindling away :-)
This doesn't make any sense at all - why would cov want more off us than peterborough, why would he goes there and not to us and where did you get this from since cov said yesterday they didn't want to see him. Give us some credit mate
Clingan is rubbish thats why hes goping to peterborough
18 Jul 2011 16:36:44
Lad i work with has just told me that david stockdale is trying to sort a move out to Leeds asap wanting a season long loan, good source he knows him from when they both played at Everton together
18 Jul 2011 16:00:36
Jimmy Bullard has been at Thorpe Arch today. He is willing to drop his wage demands from his 45k per week to 12k per week in order to play for Leeds. This will be a big signing for us. Completion within 48 hours. You heard it here first. I cannot reveal my top secret sources.
Is this because these sources are just in your head and not actually real?
I think another club could offer him more than 12k a week, plus he's a liability.
Unless jimmy bullard is more stupid then i thought then he is not gonna drop 33k a week to come to leeds
Dear oh dear, we wouldnt sign a player of his age or in that position, now go back to sleep.
Your out of your mind if u think jimmy bullard will sacrifice 33k a week just to play for leeds would love him to sign but with his wages it will prob never happen
People tend to hear a lot of stuff here 'first', but then they never hear it again.
JB is a whinging, injury prone player anyway - no thanks
Bullard would be a fantastic acquisition, not least for his set pieces. His creativity, character and personality would soon make him a fans favourite.
Anyone saying that he is a liability should reconsider whinging about Leeds not signing Bowyer and Woodgate.
Whoever posted this is a bigger plum than normal Yeah for sure he's gonna drop £33K a week(£1.7M a year) to join us.
"You cannot reveal your top secret sources"? Why, will your 7 year old neighbour get all cross? Now go and play COD on your XBox 360 and take your box of Kleenex with you. Silly little boy
Jimmy Bullard is, in my opinion, a waste of space. I think Paynter is useless but I would rather have a useless player than with the character of a JB. Before anyone misses the point and jumps in - I do know Paynter and Bullard play in different positions
18 Jul 2011 15:31:28
Wayne stevenson is currently having a medical at Thorpe Arch, He has been described as a wonderkid previously. lets hope he lives up to it
18 Jul 2011 14:32:06
after a recent successful yorkshire masters debut, Simon grayson is looking to re-capture darren huckerby as a possible replacement for davide somma. {Ed032's Note - give up
Can we please have some normal people posting on here, the last 3 postings are verging on ridiculous. {Ed032's Note - you should read the stuff that doesn't get posted
Oh well I suppose it brightens up a wet dreary Monday. Ho hum...LOL mot guys things can only get better ;)
Can we have a new page of stuff that doesnt get posted on this page just to see what people say {Ed032's Note - trust me you wouldn't want to read it. we do post the funny ones but get a lot of swearing and abuse
18 Jul 2011 14:29:36
i live near thorpe arch, ive just seen paul scholes pulling out in his BMW, any news ed? {Ed032's Note - he must have left the sat-nav at home
He as not got a bmw I live about 200 yds from him he as never had a bmw He is sponsored by Audi and still got an A8 get your facts right {Ed032's Note - made me chuckle though
I saw it too. Was some guy with a funny tash driving number plate was GN 2 {Ed032's Note - maybe we are signing graham norton?
Gotta love this site where going to sign a player who has just retired and has an imaginary bmw class :') {Ed032's Note - you ought to read the stuff that doesn't get posted!
Maybe KEEF Lemon is coming home and signing for the mighty whites {Ed032's Note - we've got enough lemons playing in the defence
Paul scholes Behave will you, if you can't say owt interesting dont say owt at all Worse than "judas" smith signing
Could be the missing link... A ginner from scum.... Remember what happened last time
:@)
18 Jul 2011 14:02:48
just seen ngog out side elland road i hope he sighs {Ed032's Note - i think his wages might be a slight problem
Didnt N'gog just get back into Liverpool John Lennon airport this morning after Liverpool's Asia tour?? He has done well to get to ER already Maybe it just is not true. {Ed032's Note - maybe he parachuted in?
Stop smoking the wacky backy you numpty, ngog outside elland road my AR$E {Ed032's Note - maybe he's working on the re-developement of the east stand or has a summer job in subway
Maybe he 'sighs' because reading your rubbish post has made him feel slightly sad?
Mate of mine who works at the newsagent opposite ER says that N'Gog is now outside ER gates doing Keepy Uppys in the new Leeds kit. He thinks he is showing of his skills in a bid to impress the Leeds Management. {Ed032's Note - is the chippy open?
You have been drinking eggnog outside elland road and sighing?
18 Jul 2011 13:30:05
I hear the trip to scotland was success wif loan deals for two celtic players coming are way watch this space, hopefully paddy mc court to replace gradel (if he goes) and maybe darren o dea (out of contract) fingers crossed leeds leeds leeds
You've got more chance of Darren Day signing mate {Ed032's Note - maybe he could be our new keeper
18 Jul 2011 13:18:00
LEEDS UNITED plan to test Coventry City's resolve over Sammy Clingan with a £1m bid, national reports claim.
If we have £1m available why Sammy Clingan ? surely we could get better for that {Ed032's Note - like some new executive boxes - oh forgot we are already doing that
Thats about 4 times what the Colonel would pay for Sammy Clingan {Ed032's Note - arent clingans from star trek?
We've bid £200k, Coventry want £900k. Deal to be done for something inbetween?
I hope this is not true, watch him for clubs and country dont rate him hope leeds look else were surely ther r better player/players out there
If we offered somewhere in the 400-600k bracket then we would have a very good deal, seen him play numerous times now and he is very good from set-pieces and a good passer of the ball and he isnt scared of a tackle either ;)
MOT
18 Jul 2011 13:10:22
Leeds to sign promising striker Wayne Stevenson, Currently plays for Buckingham Athletic. Strong and quick looks like another jermaine beckford
18 Jul 2011 12:25:52
Leeds United are set to sign Magaye Gueye from Everton on a 6 month loan deal to replace the injured Davide Somma.
18 Jul 2011 12:21:41
Duncan Castles Twitter account states: Gradel's agent wants £25,000 p/w and that Fulham are asking for a £250k loan fee for Stockdale.
Hmmm ed can you clear up if you have to pay a loan fee I'm not sure about that tbh? {Ed032's Note - i believe that a club can ask for a fee for a loan
250k not a problem, as bates just made 1 million plus on the kasper deal
and he hasnt spent a penny yet on any transfers {Ed032's Note - he's lost his chequebook apparently
ED, The problem is there are too many casinos where he lives
18 Jul 2011 11:42:17
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...... breathe..... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ....
a 17 year old to replace Somma.... URM..
Yeah whats the joke we could use some youth in the striker department someone who can develope with club and getter better each season
18 Jul 2011 11:17:30
Joe Hughes lined up to replace Somma, he plays for Glapwell Fc and scored 30 goals in just 12 apperance last year, Leeds Scouts watched him on Monday night were he scored 2 goals, there impressed and he is only 17
Watch this space
I am Glapwell goal keeper, i have heard of this rumour and i believe it to be 100% real after talking to him about moving to a bigger club {Ed032's Note - where is glapwell?
Chesterfield, i saw him play last year, tall, quick and strong along with a good eye for a goal
Could be another Charlie Austin from non-league football.
According to wiki there is nobody with this name in the squad surely if he scored 30 goals last season he would be listed?
18 Jul 2011 10:45:59
NEW AWAY SHIRT FOR THIS SEASON
100% TRUE - Heard it here first.
Ok, so after going to ER myself on saturday to buy the new shirt, got into work this morning and a colleague told me that she'd been in to buy the new shirts for her two lads yesterday.
As some of you already know the blue ones are the "2nd away strip", there isnt currently a 1st away. After my colleague spoke to a store worker asking "Is this blue away shirt the one the squad will be wearing away and at cup matches away?", the store worker hesitantly said "...No, there will be another away shirt released in new colours next month, and it will be black based with either red or green"
Slightly bit cheeky Mr Bates...
MOT
RED no chance. Dont want no red on a LEEDS kit
It's 2nd/Away. There will only be 2 kits. I work as a Macron UK key account rep.
Well thats not true Mr Macron, as i work within the stock supply for the LUFC store. I can confirm there is an order for another (or should i say different) stock of kit to arrive next month. Can't say when or what colours, shouldn't really be saying any of this at all as it's very hush-hush.
To be honest very unlikley as there is already 1 dark kit
It is a new shirt sponsor, so surely that means a new away shirt
Didn't Leeds previously play in red before Revie came in?
Anyway a nice new away kit will probably happen as we're in our last year with Macron and they'll want to milk the money out of the fans, especially if we get a new kit maker next season, with another 2/3 new kits to come
Bolloxs, No chance theyd put red on it after the stink caused of the redkite logo
Leeds have played in red when Don Revie was in charge.
18 Jul 2011 08:43:04
sanchez watt to come on loan witha an option of a perminent move this is because of the injury to somma who is out for 6 months
Somma is a goal scoring machine whereas Watt can't hit a cows ar*e with a banjo so hope this is not true
Forget watt, should be after the feeney brothers the new xavi and inesta
Why not bring grella back in if somma is going to be out for some time? whenever he played he seemed to bring something different to the team. he was hardworking, skillful and fast and i think he has been unfortunate not to have been given a chance before now. certainly better than watt will ever be
Watt is an abysmal player, he has nothing to offer but ego
This will be the third season Watt will have been put out on loan. If he was any good he would be pushing for a place at Arsenal by now. Hope someone else is foolish enough to take him. {Ed032's Note - you watt?
Watt has loads of potential and a transfer away from Arse maybe just watt is needed for the lad to improve
18 Jul 2011 08:37:16
BIGGEST EARNER AT LEEDS IS ONLY ON A 11GRAND A WEEK...GRADEL LOOKING FOR 25 NOW...AGENT SAYS LEEDS WILL SELL...WE MAY UP OUR WAGES OR WE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND...
That's bullsh*t because Becchio re-signed on £15k a week..
Hope your right...but where is our major investment that mr chairman promised at members club dinner at end of season??
18 Jul 2011 08:00:20
Gradel will only sign a new contract if it is £25,000 p/w his agent told the sunday times.
B.K
That's an obvious ploy to get Leeds to increase their wages offer to him
Even if thats true its ridiculous max is good but he doesnt deserve a premier league wage if he's actually demanding that much i hope we sell

Wigan want robert snodgrass to be N' zogbia replacement for 4mill bloody hope not, our main man. Harry MOT
Wigan with their massive crowds and league security lol, why go to a small bottom of the table team to scrap for survival with a chairman who is tighter than kenneth? chorley white MOT
Would bite their hand off, snodgrass worth nowhere near that amount especially after his performance at motherwell on saturday
