Believable61 Unbelievable9

I totally agree it's the fl who need to answer the questions, mot forever

Agree6 Disagree0

I've heard that the football league want assurances that he won't wear sunglasses when it is either not sunny or when he is inside! FACT you heard it here first
Don't shoot the messenger
Ray Ban MOT

Lets face it if Bates can pass the test anyone can.

Agree4 Disagree0

I heard he used to rent a goldfish at his former club, and they just want to ensure that he's not planning on doing so in the UK.

Leeds are in talks with a Premier League goalkeeper, rumoured to be either Gomez frm Tottenham or Butland from Stoke. MOT!

Believable43 Unbelievable7

Gomez is another Rachubka, need a top class consistant keeper way too erratic to antill confidence in our defence, poor signing if it comes off.

Agree2 Disagree3

London evening standard
its gomez

Agree1 Disagree1

Can't compare Gomez with ruchuba ( or how ever u spell it). Gomez quality international who just made a few high profile mistakes! Cost 7.8m once! With confidence would easily be best keeper in div! Hope it comes off personally!

Agree4 Disagree1

Gomez made more than a few high profile mistakes and Andy Carrol cost £35 mill once don't make em any good.

Andy MOT

Agree0 Disagree2

Andy carroll is quality, ok 35mill is 2 much 4 him but to say he's no good goes 2 show how little you know. gomez yes he's made mistakes like every gk has, butland did very well at birmingham then failed miserably at barnsley so 4 me i'd take gomez over butland, gomez is prem quality. spurs only got rid of him as they wanted hugo lloris and we may have a takeover but we need 2 get realistic! gomez 4 me is out of our league so prob b lucky 2 get butland.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed013's Note - Don't ruin a decent post by name calling, YOU know what I mean. Other editors may have deleted the whole post! Thanks}

Its not a case of all keepers make mistakes, let's be fair all players do, Gomez however doesn't just make mistakes, he's a liability. I watched a lot of the televised games he played for spurs and I saw him spill a number of balls that would have gone wide into his own net, he flaps and has no command of the area. When he went out on loan he was available to buy and know one would touch him on a perm deal. Yes he was worth money at one point but only when playing for the best team in a weak league where he had little to do. Look, if he does come to Leeds I really hope he proves me wrong but out of the two I would much rather have Butland who is younger, less erratic and has stated that he wants to prove something to Hodgson to try get himself on the England plane in the summer.

Gummie

Agree1 Disagree1

Gomez might spill some balls but ate asnt he is a presence and will come out to claim the ball from set pieces instead of standing on the line like kenny. Least Gomez will take some pressure off our defence which kenny never does he ain't good enough for leeds united is kenny end of!

Agree1 Disagree1

Ok sorry for name calling but was a little mad how anyone could say gomes is a bad gk when you don't become a prem gk at spurs if your a bad gk. kenny has done well for leeds but he does need replacing and if leeds get gomes then your be very lucky to have such a good gk.

Agree1 Disagree0

Personally don't see the point in getting another keeper this season on loan unless views to a deal next season dunno if Gomez is out of contract at end of season but if he is could be a good chance of persuading him stay at the end think we need a creative midfielder personally if we do want to make a push this season if not save the cash for next season and get planning

Agree1 Disagree0

Regarding poster that said Andy carrol qaulity (no name provided again)
Where did I say Andy Carrol is NO GOOD?
My comment said £35 mill doesn't make them any good! he's a decent player but the point I was trying to make is a high price tag don't mean a player is good (as per Gomez) look at Thomas Brolin-Fernando Torres-Stuart Downing-Mezut Ozil last night?

PS Just to show how little I know ----
Played youth with Rotherham-Barnsley-Spurs (DOUBLE COMPOUND FRACTURE ENDED CAREER)
Also been watching Leeds since 1970 v WBA
YOUR EXPERIENCE IS?

Andy MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

There are at least 5 outfield positions that are a LOT more in need of improvement before we start paying for a new keeper its notapriority

Agree1 Disagree2

Prefer a quality striker or cm, and definitely Gomes over butland. Need experience and proven quality over a lad with the potential to be good.

Agree1 Disagree2

35mill was a little 2 much for him but ofc he's a good player, same with gomes. I think your find you dnt get to prem level if your no good. you trying to say you have better judgement than professional managers? my advice to you is to get of fifa and enter the real world mr il use capitals to try and convince you I know what I mean LOL

The Take Over will be confirmed tommorow

Believable21 Unbelievable65

Is that a statement or wishful thinking?

Agree1 Disagree0

Who told you that, won't happen anytime soon unless its a no from the league

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Feb 2014 19:47:58
If mr m.cellino put his mind to it because he as the money he could take the fa or the fl to court because they r taking the mick out off him for taking so long with the takeover

Agree3 Disagree0

Take the FA to court messing him about!
Have a word with yourself son, but thanks for the post, made me laugh

ORIGINAL POSTER

Your that confident you didn't supply your name?

Great site love it but ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS SITE anybody can write anything.

Andy MOT

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed013's Note - If someone had genuine info and didn't wan't to jeopardise their job, why add their name? if this rumour comes true tomorrow the poster deserves credit. Unfortunately in the future we may lose this sort of info because of the time wasters and trouble causers on here we have to make it a registered users only site. Hopefully the legitimate ITK posters will register under a nick-name that will in the future give them credit on the site}

Cellino could become impatient / annoyed off with FL and walk away, and where would that leave Leeds?
I reckon that's what the FL want
DAZWHITE

Agree1 Disagree2

Whoa! Hope not dude.

Agree1 Disagree0

Ed sorry probably worded it wrong regarding names etc!

Just sign in with a character name (not real identity of course) just so MANY people reply to certain comments with NO name. These could be anyone on a wind up etc I know people at ER and get certain info but I know when and when NOT to divulge it.

Regards Andy

Agree1 Disagree1

First time poster, Cellino deal fallen through you ain't being taken over by this guy. Can't reveal my source so don't ask but you will hear tomorrow.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - yet there are plentiful messages from your IP in the system. Hardly a first time poster are you?}

Can't recall plentiful messages, I thought it was my first time on this site, at the most I will have posted onlya couple, hardly plentiful mate.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - there are numerous messages from this IP. Stretching back into last year.}

I was told in good faith that the take over was going to be confirmed today from a reliable source but the FL have held it up again for some reason so I apologise if I have mislead anyone or got your hopes up - I am a LUFC fan so would not make stories up for the sake of it -- On the other hand we have signed a player today so the TO is not too faraway now believe me

MOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Any truth to the rumours that cilleanos is due in court on25th in Italy to see of he will be prosecuted on embezzlement charges

Agree0 Disagree0

Well done Ed - another person busted.

i think being a registered site will not stop anonymous posts - people can easily use a pseudonym or nick name as opposed to their real name

the football league has asked massimo cellino and the gfh to respond to a new list of questions on the acquisition of leeds united, to help to decide on the buy-out of the club after the end of the week. lawyers acting for the league, writes the yorkshire evening post, submitted a request for additional information. cellino and gfh have exchanged contracts for 25 million pounds that the president will acquire 75% of the club through eleonora sports limited. the agreement is subject to approval by the football league and the decision is expected at the turn of the next weekend. the football league are determined to scupper this take over come hell or high water, if it were a referee we would be singing you don�t what your doing or your not fit to run the football league. mot

Believable14 Unbelievable16

Don't believe FL is out to scupper deal, they may have sh:t on us in the past but for once I would prefer they asked ALL the uncomfortable questions and demanded to know the facts. I wish for financial stability and consistent squad investment in the longer term.

Don't want any Risdale's repeat or the crap Portsmouth have had to endure because the FL didn't protect them from fly by rubbishs owners. Please
FL get this right and tell us fans what the crack is.

Agree1 Disagree0

How on earth did GFH get in? or is it Papa smurfs smoke screen?
They can't have passed any financial tests surely.
