Does anyone think smith deserves to get some stick on sunday i for one do think he should not just for him going to scum but also apparentely rejecting a move back to his home town club because he wasnt willing to take a pay cut money talks with him he doesnt love leeds
Believable17
Unbelievable18
You did say "apparently" and tbh smith has said nothing publicly nor has his agent on this so cmon guys........ lets concentrate on LEEDS not the opposition (I know that'll fall on deaf ears but heyho)
Agree0
Disagree0
Let's give him grief, obviously we was in talks with him and obviously he rejected us so it's bull he is a Leeds supporter as much as he claimed, if he loved the club he would play for free, id pay Leeds to play for them, I wouldn't want a penny, I understand it's a job and you need a wage but I'm sure I could survive on a couple of grand a week, goes to show money is more important than passion with some people, wish he could read my post and see my view, MOT forever a white
Agree0
Disagree0
We don't know the facts do we? How do we know Leeds have even made an approach ? Let's be honest about this too.. If you could earn that money doing nowt at Newc. He might see out the last year and come next season. Then again we might be checking him out a the weekend to see what sort of reaction he gets before we make a move ? (just a thought)
Agree0
Disagree0
To the last poster - this has actually been suggested a few times by Newcastle fans that he was willing to take a pay cut it was going to happen mid June but he was put off by some very negative comments and threats when he had been out in Leeds. I have no idea of the truth of it but at the end of the day all Grayson has said and Bates, that if he was fit enough and wage demands were right they'd be interested but had no idea if he was available. At official level they've been vague and Newcastle have stayed silent on the matter. I would be disgusted as a Leeds fan and a football supporter if we let the friendly become some sort of slanging match/let's all spit at Smithy sideshow. that would be disrespectful towards our current players and all the other nufc players. just saying...
Agree0
Disagree0
No one has come in for smith officially Newcastle not willing to loan him out want him off wage bill - according to Newcastle rumours reply anyway..don't shoot the messenger
Agree0
Disagree0
Who says he'll be playing on Sunday?
Think about it, why would they give him game time if they don't want him there? Idea behind friendlies is to try get your team sorted & working together before league campaigns start.
I hear Barton will be though & think we should give him some lol
To the tune from West Side Story ...
Joey cant go to America, Joey cant go to America, Joey cant go to America
Agree0

Hi that scum that said I am not a Leeds fan. Yes I rejected a move to Elland Road but that does not mean I don't support my HOME TOWN'S SIDE It was because the money wasn't good enough. Football is a job and so if I am not getting enough money, I wont want to go to that club. Besides, I have already entered advanced talks with an American side.
Agree0
Disagree0
Im sat next to the tunnel on sunday and i will give him hell the money grabbing scum B*****D. one word sums up smith and that is JUDAS. leeds are better of without him
Agree0
Disagree0
If and I say a big IF, Smith has even been given the option by Leeds or Newcastle to come back, which I don't believe he has, why would he, with the amount of grief he gets from some of our supporters?
Show him and other teams that we have some class and applaud him, or at worst ignore him. It will only play into the hands of other teams supporters. I will personally applaud him, just in case there is a chance he will return, but more because I don't believe any of the rumours and I do remember how he played for us.
Agree0

Sad Little Boys Very Sad Just support your team Boys We Are Leeds

What sort of person writes on here pretending to be alan smith?? grow up you weapon
Agree0

I might be wrong, and no doubt someone will correct me if I am, but I remember Leeds getting relegated, being £121M in debt and Man Utd being the only club to come in for Smith. So all in all it's not really his fault he left Leeds for Man Utd (nobody else wanted him). Like I said though, I might be wrong.
Agree0

Hes highlighted his true nature and colours hes considering going to O.C for petes sak over a return to his boyhood team, its all about the Wonga

I hope his bank account keeps him fulfilled in later life, Id rather be a hero to my hometown club. But hey Im not a greedy primadonna.

Thats exactly what proves its all true, if he had nothing to feel guilty for and was our saving grace his representitives would have come out and discreditted the negative transfer since. They havent, which is odd if hes considering to cushion the support for a return. Blinkers spring to mind here.
Agree0

If hes the type of player that would sit out for a full season on a bench simply to collect his ridiculous wages, then I dont want anything to do with him, and dont want a player like that anywhere near are club. What kinda fan are you to excuse that, Newcastle or not he's a Leech

------------------------------------------
When did I say his fee stopped us from "going tits up"? I was pointing out that Leeds Utd (this almightly club that, in all honesty, still doesn't have a pot to piss in) was in an absolute mess and players had to be sold. Manchester Utd were the only club to come in for Alan Smith so he had very little options open to him.

Does anyone know if smith is going to play sunday at elland road because if he is i would expect a bit of abuse from the majority of the fans
Believable8
Unbelievable13
No idea tbh something tells me it's doubtful he's well down the pecking order at Newcastle and who knows he might get injured before he plays us
I've always stuck up for mr smith on here but tbh i reckon he should feign injury and not play because sadly there's too many baying for blood. No idea what Ed thinks? {Ed001's Note - I think a player should always play when fit enough to do so.}
Agree0
Disagree0
Feign Injury? What kinda fan are you? He gets paid 60 thousand pounds a week, he should at least play in friendlies it isnt like he'll get a start in the real season.
I agree fully ed, theirs some numpties on here pal I wonder what theyd think if leeds players faked injuries. Unbelievable Jeff

I'm liking the look of Nunez for next season has done good pre season and everytime ive seen him play last season looks decent. Come on Nunez all we need now is a decent LB with eric back fingers crossed, decent right back instead of connolly, and someone upfront like hulse or cresswell back on cheap, or not sure if he has gone anywhere yet but carew Harry...MOT
Believable5
Unbelievable4
R u serious hulse r cresswell?thats old school mate..need far better quality than that..
Agree0
Disagree0
Come on they done well when with us, and i rate hulse quite a bit, but i wouldnt play them instead of mccormack or becchio mind but decent back up, but id go for carew if still free, high wage though
Agree0
Disagree0
I love big Jonny Carew but theres no chance of him coming to the championship or Leeds being able to afford him
Agree0
Disagree0
Want lichaj as right back, have bodor as left back
Agree0
Disagree0
Connolly? I must have been watching a different team last season because up until him getting injured i for one thought he was our most consistent performer. its the centre back pairing we need to get right
Agree0
Disagree0
I d rate O brien and Kisnorbo in the middle of our defense. My bet is that SG is looking for a left back and another Centre Mid
Agree0
Disagree0
I jus dont think connolly is good at tackling he's good at getting up the wing but not so defending same as bessone what a flop
Agree0
Disagree0
26 Jul 2011 19:49:21
That's fair enough. Like you guys would be my dream for Leeds to challenge this year. Think west ham are very strong with players like Nolan in the team. Think forest have brought some good players in , same with Ipswich. But on the other hand think the players Leicester have brought in are not too great. You never know with the championship it's a very hard league. Your defo right with let's get behind them. Far too much negatives.
Believable6
Unbelievable4
Yeah, I agree, although i think there are strong teams, we can compete with our fortress ER, our tradition, the team spirit, the quality manager and the attacking options we have got.

I am a Leeds nut based down here in the south and I believe another team to watch out for is Southampton. I know they only just come up but they are a very strong attacking team. Even with our strongest team out I am worrying re our first game

Reality check for the negative 'fans'. The biggest frustration of last season was giving away leads and turning 3 points into 1. If you convert just half of the draws from last season into wins we would have finished with 86 points and would have been second Therefore, tightening up at the back and having more experience in midfield is what's needed. Current signings follow that theory. You don't need world beaters to get out of the Championship - look back at previous promotees. Evolution not revolution is what's required. We tried to buy success before and look what happened. When we get back into the Premiership this time I want it to last - even if it takes a few seasons. MOT.

Snograss has been nursing an injury for last couple of weeks. Am sure he left out as a pre-caution

If you were a true fan you would know why he wasn't in the squad as in he has a bit of a knock and Grayson is hoping that him and ob will play some part sun against Newcastle.
Agree0

As stated in many other posts, Robert Snodgrass has a slight injury that requires rest and some physiotherapy. He did not play in Norway due to his injury. There has been no contact from Wigan Athletic FC and if there was, Leeds United would inform them that Robert Snodgrass is not for sale.

Please can we stop all the Stockdale moaning, yes he's from Leeds and yes he would have preferred a move to Leeds & yes he is half decent. The negatives outweigh this however, he's 25yrs old, has only played 13 games for Fulham since 2008, and previously played for Darlington, he is Fulhams 3rd choice keeper, please remember that. Lonergan is a proven, experienced keeper at this level, and we own him , so no recall by some tin pot club in the Prem League like Fulham, home of the Jackson statue lol

Swansea in for Leroy Lita. I guess a) we couldn't afford him b) he might not want to come c) Boro wouldn't sell him to a Championship rival, but it would be nice to see us go after someone like that. Full of pace and a different striker to the type we have already. Just a thought.

Just listened to an interview on LUTV with Andy Lonergan. He made it perfectly clear that the contract terms offered by LUFC were never an issue and contrary to rumour were not well below other offers. He said he always wanted to join Leeds but he has his family to consider. Apparantly they have a child who needs medical attention and they need to be near a trusted hospital. That issue has now been resolved. So can we now stop all the crap about LU and just get behind the team, Manager and Chairman.

anyone think we should do a swap deal with wigan for snoddy. £6 million plus james macarthur (good midfielder creative SG admitted an intrest last year) or victor moses (good player good on the wings used to play as a striker so because of our injuries he could start up front) i think this would be a good deal for leeds

I would take Moses and McCarthur for Snodgrass and 0 money, every single day of the week.
That's not because I don't rate Snodgrass, i think he's great, easily one of our best players, but the other two would be fantastic. Sadly it won't happen
Agree0
Disagree0
True pal I would have either but if SG and captain birdseye want to keep snoddy then they should offer Wigan something that they would Not want to accept. But if I had the chance I would take either of them + a couple of million for snoddy

26 Jul 2011 16:39:58

Just testing out a theory on here, given the amount of people full of negativity & downright silly people who think we should be throwing money around and Bates is somehow not doing the best things for the club.
Team that started against Derby last season...
Schmeichel
Connolly
Naylor
Collins
Bessone
Sam
Howson
Johnson
Watt
Becchio
Subs - Higgs, Hughes, White, Bruce, Bromby, Clayton, Grella
What if the team we lined up with against Southampton this season was...
Lonergan
Connolly
Kisnorbo
O'Brien
Parker
Gradel
Howson
Brown
Snodgrass
Nunez
McCormack
Subs - Rachubka, Bruce, White, Bromby, Lees, Clayton, Paynter
Now for me this is already stronger than the beginning of last season with only ONE signing. And this is before the Prem Teams decide on who they will send out on Loan (of which i expect us to get 2 high quality players).
This is also signing none of the trialists we have in (and i expect he'll sign up Bodor and Mendy).
SG will also be bringing in at least two other full time additions, I reckon one of these will be for a tidy sum as well.
Really don't understand what's wrong with people, there's plenty of time, Grayson and Bates are playing a shrewd game that will only put us in a stronger position.
Believable10

Well said that man I said something similar on the Leeds banter page - nearly the same team too apart from you can have only 5 subs :)

Agree completely, best post on here for a while i personally think we are a more solid team with these signings and should be better once we get a couple more.

Thank god there is another leeds fan out there who is looking on the brightside, forget what could have been with potential signings and lets get behind the boys instead of suggesting will have a s**te season. MOT
Agree0

Absolutely right the team/squad for the forthcoming season is far stronger in all fields players are quicker, and better technically in every position, i'm really happy
Agree0
Disagree0
Well said the so called fans are doing my nut leeds have a far better tem/squad this season, SG has built well and at least betes isn't doing Ridsdale (mupet)
Agree0
Disagree0
Surely that's three signings? Rachubka, Lonegran & Brown. I do agree that's a stronger team though and also doesn't take into consideration that we're missing Becchio and & Somma with injuries
Agree0
Disagree0
I think this is actually a very poor leeds team and if it isnt strengthened fast they will really struggle, goals are going to be very hard to come by, and what could be a leaky defence.
Agree0
Disagree0
This seasons side looks better because last season we apparently only started with 10
Agree0
Disagree0
Why did we start with only 10 men against Derby?
Agree0
Disagree0
This years team would be stronger. last years team has only 10 players you tube.
Agree0
Disagree0
Completely agree. you just got to ingnore the suppose to be Leeds fans who got nout good to say mate.
Agree0
Disagree0
Yep, i've been caught out twice, it is three signings (albeit only 2 in the starting 11).
Kilkenny was the other who played against Derby, that's how memorable he was.
Aside from the 2 schoolboy errors, hopefully the point was made that we are in fact stronger than last year. To the post above who thinks goals will be hard to come by, McCormack will score at least as many as Becchio did last year, and then we've got Becchio to come back fit. Nunez will get as many as Somma, and Gradel, Howson and Snodgrass will chip in with the usual.
I wasn't suggesting we're the finished article, far from it, but i have faith that the missing ingredients will be found and if we play the loan market well (which I think will be stronger this year) we will be much, much stronger in every position this year than last.
What more can we ask for ?
Agree0
Disagree0
To the original post- I am with u all the way mate, its a better team to start with and should get better with more additions Big up that man
STAN THE WHITE.
Agree0

I do agree with you on being positive and not negative but still dont think the team is very strong. Other teams have strengthened there teams considerably. I hope not but we might find ourselves being mid table. What do you think.
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree a much stronger and fitter team. also you have left of lloyd sam who i think if fit could be a great player next season as he is a goal scorer from midfield MOT lets get behind united
Agree0
Disagree0
There are simply too many children on this site pretending to be Leeds fans
Agree0
Disagree0
I must admit, I still have concerns re central defence and midfield, but i hadn't thought of it like that. You make a good point. I agree we are in a stronger starting position and its not all doom and gloom.With a couple of quality additions i think we could get playoffs. We have to be stronger than last year though..... the Championship is stronger this year.
Agree0
Disagree0
The derby team does look thin on reflection tho also only has 10 men
agree tho that we've not lost any of the must keeps from the squad and gained lonegran, brown and poss 2-3 to come MOT
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree with all that but would be good to get another full back incase of injuries
Agree0
Disagree0
I am very positive about next season, however, the real reason that team looks weaker, particularly in attack, was that Gradel did not start that game becasue he was banned, Snodgrass was injured after pre season in Norway, Kisnorbo and parker were also injured
So I am not sure how much stronger/different it really is? Must admit though that defence does look better if Kisnorbo & O'brien stay fit and we get the left back on trial as cover for Parker's inevitable injuries. A couiple more signings on loan and I will be totally positive.
Agree0
Disagree0
Good that we have a (sort of) positive vibe here. To the guy above who says other teams are considerably stronger, who do you think this is, give me some examples? Not having a go, just good for a discussion...
Agree0
Disagree0
I posted that the division is stronger. I think there is strength in depth-
West Ham- great manager for this level, will continue to make signings. Some prem players already.
Blackpool- Will play positive attacking football again, and score a lot at this level. Don't think they will fall away.
Forest- Made a host of experienced signings on top of a team that has been consistently in the play-offs.
Cardiff- I rate Malky McKay. His team will play direct, hard working football. They have lost players, but have signed players and could be a threat.
Ipswich- Good manager, quality signings such as Emanuel Thomas, Bowyer, Stockdale, Chopra. Have to be there or there abouts.
Reading- May lose Shane Long but will be a threat the way they play and the way they finished last season indicates that they will be reasonably strong.
Boro- Still a host of premiership/ experienced SPL players as well as promising young players.
Leicester-Ok, i am not convinced by 'gun for hire' Sven. Even discounting that they have spent a lot an have some good players for this level.
Birmingham- potentially ok, if they overcome their problems. though possibly not.
Finally; I really think that one of Brighton or Southampton could do very well and get playoffs at least. They will be confident, have made some shrewd signings and play positive football.
I am sure that some of these teams will live up to the billing, but even accounting for that, it is a strong division with big clubs ( of which we are one) that will require a big effort and a quality squad.
Agree0

Just like to point out that we can only have 5 subs this year lol :)

Leeds team for soton.... ideally would be
lonergan
samuel/bodor (parker WILL be injured lol)
kisnorbo
bromby/o'brien (if fit)
connoly (lichaj if we sign him again)
snods
gradel
brown
howson
nunez
mccormack
subs. rachubka, bruce, sam, paynter, clayton...
plus we will make additions to this.... pretty sure mendy will sign... we need slightly more depth but im positive now we have 2 keepers and some promising trialists along with a proven hard midfield man.... MARCHIN ON TOGETHERRRRRR

Leeds are set to go into talks with trialist Alex Mendy and Isaiah Osbourne to discuss a short term contract which will keep them at Elland road untill January.
Jlloyd Samuel will end his trial at Elland Road as Grayson does not believe he is the solution to the left back problem, and also believes his wage demands are too expensive for just back up.
Leeds to step up their bid to bring Eric Lichaj on a season long loan after finding it hard to bring in a permanent deal for a solution to the full back crisis.
Leeds have rejected enquiries from 4 premier league clubs for Max Gradel. Gradel is happy to stay at Leeds but his agent is desperate for the pair to enter discussions on a new contract for the Ivorian.
Simon Grayson has enquired about the possibility of signing Sanchez Watt on another season long loan. However, Arsenal want a permanent deal as they believe it will be hard for Sanchez Watt to break into the first team any time soon.

Why make these lies? and why wont leeds fans give him chance? fair enough 1 goal isnt enough for his efforts last season but he had to struggle to break into a team which was scoring the highest amount of goals for most of the season once he gets a goal or two this year they will come flying in
Agree0

A proven goalscorer but hasn't happened for him- a move away would be better for all. but why sell Grella? Whenever i have seen him play he has looked lively and capable and, more importantly, scored goals. Give him a chance
Agree0

Their not lies it s the truth and Leeds fans have given him many chances. You said it 1 goal isn t enough for his efforts last season especially as you said Leeds was scoring the highest amount of goals but, therefore creating more chances for him to convert which he couldn't, he was given ample playing time to break in and prove a point yet as you said he struggle to break into that team, why because he's simply not good enough he's a league 1 player at best.
Agree0

Tbh I'd much rather have Paynter over Grella, Grella is s**te but he doesn't believe it just like Kasper. Paynter passes well and has fairly good vision, he'll be alright as long as we play him with nunez, gradel, howson and possibly mendy (if we sign him, I hope we do) MOT

Kasper was arrogant, selfish, he played for himself. He did not wear his heart on his sleeve his heart was never in it. He did make some good saves but a goalkeeper is only as good as his defence. I'm glad leicester have to deal with that d**k now. Lonergan is a nice guy who can get attached to a club, that's why he stayed at Preston for 11 years. He's a quality championship keeper, and remember he may have let in 4 goals in one half but remember kasper let in 5 that second half and our attack is quality Preston didn't even have Ian Hume at the time.

Difference between Kasper and Andy - Kasper madw world class saves and put his body on the line every game and played with his heart on his sleeve, when things didnt go well, he shouted encouragement to the team, got the ball quickly from the ball boys and got it back out into the park to lift a sense of urgency to the players, Andy Lonergan let 4 goals in the first half against Leeds at Elland Road last season, Didnt cope well with the big crowd and got his team relegated last season. Thats the diference. Least Lonergan has experience tho. Saying that I think Dave Beasant is still knocking about, and hey Shane Higgs has been there aint he? Didnt Shane Higgs get this club promoted to the championship? Happened same when Mervyn Day got us promoted to the big time and then found himself behind Lukic the season after.

Kasper got the ball back out into the park? The retail park near elland road perhaps. His distribution is trully awfull. Aimlessly smashashing the ball as hard as he could lost us possession so many tomes last season. It was so frustrating to watch.

Apart from the first few games where Kasper was outstanding, I still thought he was too small for a keeper. Good business to sell him, he was never going to sign again. I much prefer AL, 6ft 4 and loyal to a club - that's what we need. MOT

I sometimes wonder if i support a different team to most of the posters on here We've lost one average goalkeeper and two half decent but occasionally woeful central midfielders and kept all of our actual star quality players. Signings haven't been huge in number, but will supplement what is already here, especially if LITERALLY 1 or 2 more arrive.
As for Bates the man saved our club. And to those creating there own bad news, sat there waiting for gradel and snodgrass to go, think about whats happened in the past Beckford, Johnson and Kilkenny were all allowed to play out there contracts, despite offers from other clubs. That doesn't sound like a chairman who interested in his own pocket before the side.
Believable19
Unbelievable5
I tend to agree with this. I wish ken would spend more money, & when you let 2 of your starting midfielders go for free you should be a little worried. But imagine if he sold killa & brad in january, we probably wouldn't even of been close to the playoffs had he done that. He has around 1mil left from the kasper sale (plus whatever he had in the budget already) to buy 1 more midfielder (probably) & sure up the defence a bit. I do wish he spent more money to get us where we belong, but i believe in what he is doing for the most part. MOT

Nice one mate, at long last someone with brains

Well said Though I do wish Gradel would sign a new contract Hit the nail on the head with 4 star players, hopefully we can build on that amount next season when we're in a better position to do so
Agree0
Disagree0
I don't think i could have put it better myself. everyone seems glum about the season but weve actually made 2 good signings and Grayson said he's hopefull of 2 more before end of week.
to put Johnson in the 'average' bracket does him justice - he was awful at times, Killa wasnt consistent enough and was often a sub so no great loss. Kasper was a quality GK for me but we have replaced him with a great GK too.
cheer up everyone with 2 more faces our squad will be stronger than last year
Agree0

Johnson was occasionally awful but then he was also occasionally brilliant.
Some games he was the only player with any spark as he had a brilliant engine.

I agree with you there mate. To be honest it's in Ken Bates best interests that we get to the premiership. That's where the real money can be made. He's not gonna scrimp and save and sell the best players to hit the glass ceiling of the championship. He wants us a big as Chelsea were when he left. Then I bet he'd like to sell us to some eccentric foreign billionaire.

Very well said It was embarassing and pathetic to hear the Bates Out chants at Hillsborough on Saturday - I wish those small mindless minority would leave
Agree0
Disagree0
Just like to add my agreement to this. I think the majority of posters on here are in the minority of actual fans. Our club was in a financial mess only a couple of years ago and could easily have gone under, have people completely forgotten this? Bates may well be an opinionated and canniving old man, but lets be realistic, he's pulled the club from the brink of disaster to being on a sound financial footing and we have a team who were challenging for promotion last year, and all I can see thats happened is that we have lost some not very successful playeres since then. Everybody who moaned about Clayton, Nunez et al not playing last year, well maybe the lack of old journeymen coming in means SG now thinks they are ready for the first team
Agree0
Disagree0
I agree with the posters who are saying we have not lost much.
To the one who posted - the only player with any spark as he had a brilliant engine - reference johnson, you must have watched a different season to me. Johnson couldn't run. He fastest pace was a jog. He couldn't tackle. He was the worst player i have ever had the misfortune of watching at elland road.
I think we have a great side now, and actually feel the great youngsters we have won't get the games I think they should have this season. When we have a fully fit team SG is going to have difficult decisions who to play.
Agree0
Disagree0
At last some realists here.
Loans worked well for clayton, lees, nunez became an idol, and especially somma transformed by gaining confidence at a lower level. It's all very well moaning that nunez was performing when we needed him but he needed regular games, and to drag him back to warm the bench would have knocked his confidence.
I think Paynter would gain from a couple of months in the lower league to find his feet again, pity Grella could not see the gains clearly.
Anyway we all want a rich Arab but it's a pipe dream that still has flaws(man city look souless) . We got bates, he saved us, sticks up for us, doesn't care about being liked, and never falls out with his manager.
Embrace what we have got, a great club with entertaining players, and no debt and that to me is better than those sleepless nights of a few years back

was weak for both Leeds and Preston. Still work to be done.We still need a LB.CB, CM and maybe a loan striker until Beechio recovers from his injuries.
The defence needs to be sorted out before the new season comes round. Still light in midfield. I am sure
Grayson will get in the quality players and seriously
mount a challenge for promotion into the PREMIER
