Leeds trying hard to re-sign Max Gradel, St Etienne not making it easy or cheap, but it could be done on deadline day!
God I hope so
Work your socks off SH!

Believable52 Unbelievable7

Would be the happiest deadline day of recent history!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Exactly what we need, a small fast tricky winger that's direct and not afraid to have a go.

Agree0 Disagree1

Big mistake this been announced .

Agree1 Disagree0

I was waiting for this rumour to pop back up again... not going to happen i'm afraid mate.

LiamG

Agree1 Disagree0

Not going to happen at all more chance of getting wright-phillips

Agree0 Disagree0

Whats this about bringing back ex players. Gradel wasn t sold against his wishes, he asked to move and couldn t get out the door quick enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

Complete smokescreen to fool the fans, they have no intention of bringing him back...

Agree1 Disagree0

He is at the African Nations Cup. A we going to go out there to sign him??

Agree0 Disagree0

Strong rumour from this side of the pond that Paddy McCourt may sign from Celtic. I've seen him play for N.Ireland in recent years, we love him at Windsor Park, a true talent that would light up ER. Fingers crossed! he is a natural play maker and has the potential to become even better

Believable11 Unbelievable22

Paddy mccourt isn't good enough 4 leeds he can't get a game in the spl

Agree0 Disagree1

Please no. may be a good ball player. but one of the most unfit players I have ever seen. can barely last an hour. not exactly what's needed did promotion

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2013 23:05:01

david goodwillies on his way 2 leeds 100%!got abit of a reputation as a bay boy but given a decent run of games he, l score us goals that's for sure

Believable8 Unbelievable29

Well he hasn't scored goals for Blackburn and that's why their offloading so what makes you think he's going to do anything for Leeds ?... 'You haven't got a scooby do'

Agree0 Disagree0

He hasn't had a good run of games at blackburn tho has he?if he plays games he, l get goals

Agree0 Disagree0

Reputation as a bady boy but a poor reputation as a footballer... one to really set hearts racing

Agree0 Disagree0

He is small for a modern striker and didn't really score many goal at Dundee either. Not a very exciting signing whatsoever

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2013 22:37:11
Leeds to confirm the signing of Alan judge tomorrow with poleon going on loan the other way. good signing the Irish messi!!

Believable8 Unbelievable34

Paddy McCourt was apparently at Thorp Arch today if rumours are correct. Also Forest have bid for Darius Henderson which could mean Dexter Blackstock is Leeds bound.

Believable25 Unbelievable19

23 Jan 2013 21:27:40
I actually hope this is true, looks useful and could be an exciting signing

Agree0 Disagree0

Paddy mccourt signed for an mls side a month ago {Ed013's Note - No he didn't}

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry to go against the paddy mccourt fan club 60 games in last 4 seasons sorry not good enough

Agree0 Disagree1

I have heard of paddy McGinty but the hell is this McCourt chappie?

Agree0 Disagree0

Loads of my mates are Celtic fans who have season tickets! and they said McCourt signed for the side that chris Boyd went ton in America cause they were joking about the don't sell McCourt song.... He's rubbish anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes worse than darren anderton for injuries

Agree0 Disagree0

Paddy mccourt are you having a laugh?he, s shocking can only last about half a hour he smokes 20 fags a day

Agree0 Disagree0

Ross was a bit fond of his burgers before he came to Leeds... I suspect that's why Cardiff wanted rid.
McCourt is actually a decent player if he's motivated enough.... big if, though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Great impact player, useful to have some one with a bit of imagination to come on late on, his engine is terrible but glides past players. Any game I've watched this season we seem to run out of ideas so if he's cheap it would be ok

Agree0 Disagree0

I am a Leeds fan and from Derry City where Paddy Mc court comes from. I watched him every week at Derry City. He is a really class player but lazy and a bit injury prone but he really is class when he plays. I think if he got regular football he would be a brilliant signing.

Agree0 Disagree0

Heard david goodwille to leeds, not wanted and out of favour at blackburn as they have a hige que of strikers possible new number 9 for leeds, what you think edd? {Ed013's Note - He hasn't done very well since his move from Scotland, but maybe a change would do him the world of good. I have only heard this as a rumour, nothing confirmed}

A new player is in a hotel in leeds today signing a permanent deal with lufc.

Heard from NW on the radio!

Believable26 Unbelievable21

23 Jan 2013 18:10:52
You misheard him - he was repeating a rumour he'd been told. Its not true. He was just saying how many stories are going about at this time.
He said when therers spomething to report it will be on Yorks radio / Official site.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's David goodwillie he is staying at Oulton hall

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2013 21:10:15
Leeds won't be paying his hotel so I doubt it!
Its only 45 mins drive from Blackburn to Thorp arch isn't it?

leeds getting anton ferdinhand true story wait and see [kez1919]

Believable11 Unbelievable40

23 Jan 2013 18:13:43
dont want him at Leeds Utd - he's garbage. Cant defend, scores own goals and is distinctly average. If his name wasnt Ferdinand he wouldn't be above league 1.

Agree1 Disagree0

I hope not look at all the carp with john terry

Agree0 Disagree0

Would be worst signing ever.
trouble maker and poor player.

Agree0 Disagree0

LOL poor player, he's miles better than all our defenders and he dnt score own goals atall

Agree0 Disagree0

Anton Ferdinand is apparently going to the Turkish league on loan.

Plus he was on 40,000 at Sunderland apparently so I can't imagine what he is on now at QPR. Can we even begin to imagine we could afford a proportion of his salary.

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2013 16:51:50
tv say Nottingham Forrest have enquired about Millwall's Henderson. A possible replacement for Blackstock? Just a though

Leeds refused permission by Everton to play RB in cup tie V Spurs !

Believable29 Unbelievable3

I had to read this twice! I was thinking.... 'we don't have a right back on loan from Everton'....... Then I realised lol

MOT! WMS!

Agree0 Disagree0

I first thought we were unable to play a RIght Back against Spurs as Everton wouldn't allow us to!

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2013 11:45:00
Just heard from a friend that Graham Dorrans has
rejected a move to Leeds to stay & fight for his place
at WBA.

Also Leeds have turned down the chance to sign ex
pompey & one time Didier Drogba 's Ivory Coast
strike partner Aruna Dindane.

Believable22 Unbelievable11

I thought west brob had put him on the transfer list and told him to get a new club.

Agree2 Disagree0

As to the first reply. I was also under the impression that he was told he was not needed and told he was going to be sold from vaious news agencies. Having said that I did note him playing in last few games so perhaps situation has changed.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dorrans is 2/1 to sign for Villa

Agree0 Disagree1

It's on web that he's gone to Bolton ?

Agree0 Disagree0

rumours still very strong up here in dundee that leeds in 4 russel he has not been seen about training ground yesterday or 2 day talk is he is in leeds 2day 4 med info from ground staff at dundee my brother hope this is not true because we need him more than leeds do

Believable37 Unbelievable16

The usual plea from russell on here... just ring leeds johnny!

Agree1 Disagree0

Russell wasn't at training for Dundee Utd, due to the fact they played last night. Russell played for Dundee Utd at Parkhead in the 4-0 defeat to Celtic.
Made up rumour and can be forgotten.

Agree0 Disagree0

From the Dundee Rumours

20 Jan 2013 15:46:01
Johnny Russell looks set to leave Dundee Utd in this window. Yesterday's hat trick hero is being courted by Celtic, Derby, Huddersfield, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. Dundee Utd have asked for £1.75m but with the previous teams all after the hitman the club could let it go to a bidding war.

{Ed013's Note - To read the rest go to their page, thanks}

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry Ed...got carried away

curtis davies set to sign three year deal having a medical today

Believable24 Unbelievable29

Source?
Would be awesome signing

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't see it happening, too expensive. I'd love to see him sign though would show the owners and manager have ambition. Would be worth putting in an offer as Brum need some money!

Agree0 Disagree0

Best centre half in division

Agree0 Disagree0

According to Eddie Gray on the match day program he seems nervous on the ball and losses it under pressure. I don't wanna risk it.
Source: listening to Birmingham v leeds FA cup

Agree0 Disagree0

Best cb in the league yeah course he is have you seen where birmingham are in the league if where going to sign anyone from them it has to be burke!

Agree0 Disagree0

He is not even the best centre half in his family!

Agree0 Disagree0

Quality cb who IS the best cb in our league and by along way. burke? LOL he's really bad

Agree0 Disagree0

You clearly have never seen burke play if you think he is bad everytime he plays against us he's a class act

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes when he plays against us which dnt say much 4 him does it when our defence is so poor. burke is useless, davies is the best cb in the championship by miles, but I think he will go 2 a prem team tbh

Agree0 Disagree0

If burke isn't good like you say then why are so many teams chasing come on admit your wrong

Agree0 Disagree0

Blackstock. £700k. Done.

Believable38 Unbelievable55

Where's this from?

Agree0 Disagree0

He becomes a free agent in the summer doesn't he?

Agree0 Disagree0

I'll believe it when I see it. Phil Hay (YEP) is tweeting that despite the speculation in the papers this morning, Blackstock is believed to be signing a new contract at Florest shortly.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ah phil "knows nothing" hay strikes again

Agree1 Disagree0

Leeds United to tie up deals for Dindane, Dawson and possibly Davies from Birmingham also heard but not confirmed that we are interested in David Bentley now he's back from Russia {Ed013's Note - Dindane is not signing}

Believable10 Unbelievable36

Ed - Where has this confirmation of Dindane come from. I heard patel but can't find where he said it! {Ed013's Note - Salem Patel said "Leeds are not signing Dindane" it was leaked to the media, probably agents playing funny buggers again. Salem said have faith and there are things happening in the background that can't be released yet}

Agree0 Disagree0

Be class if we get Bentley down the right.

Agree1 Disagree1

I think people need to relax and have faith that the new owners are doing what they can to better the club (which hopefully increases their assets). The window is still open and i'm sure lots of irons are in fires and we will be informed once deals are done. Unlike prem manager this is complicated and like in poker you do not show your hand until you need to or people fold or raise the stakes. Also the other clubs involved may not want deals discussed yet as it slso effects their transfer situation. You can tell by aforementioned twit comment this is frustrating for them too and some of these stupid rumours (some i'm sure are purposely malicious) and mindless pessimism are are having a knock on effect hurting the club. Not long to wait before the window shuts then you can moan about lack of funds, transfers or anything else about the owners. Give them a chance to sort the club out before writing them off.

Patiently waiting leeds fan. MOT.

Agree2 Disagree0

Id love it if we signed Bentley.

Agree2 Disagree0

"these stupid rumours (some i'm sure are purposely malicious) and mindless pessimism are are having a knock on effect hurting the club"

Like the ones put out by Mick Jones and Warnock about Becchio?

Fawksey

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with 3rd poster. And I've said it in previous post. Why in the name of Allah would Leeds do their washing in public?
We need to believe that what the new board and NW are cooking up will be to the betterment of LUFC as a whole.
We need to stop knocking what is being done, regardless of our impetuousness and impatience
It could be worse we could be villa, but we're not we are LEEDS and we are in the ascendancy. Just have faith and all will be well.

Jedburgh white

Agree0 Disagree0

Dawson is joining Bolton on loan for the rest of this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bentlys no good for us, he can't play evening matches because he has to be in before dark or his mum grounds him..

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jan 2013 00:11:08
CMS dropped from Brighton game tonight. Strong rumours from their end is that he is leaving. Let it be Leeds he is class. Any thoughts ED {Ed013's Note - Neil likes him, I suppose it depends on whether Becchio leaves}
