McCormack, Becchio, Nunez and Paynter as good as any others in the league. {Ed015's Note - just got to give them the chance they need}

Paynter is the exception. Not good enough.

Why people keep going on about strikers I will never know, that was hardly are problem last season.

I agree, especially Paynter If he starts every week with Beccio of Mcormack he'll bang on 30 Plus Goals. Quality Player, also i think Mcormack is better than Becchio

I agree with last post

Becchio & McCormack start next season. Paynter I agree wasn't fit last season, but his touch is poor & does not have Becchio's work ethic.

Nunez has most potential if played behind a main striker and must get his chance.

Paynter as good as any in the league?
I know he had only around 8 starts but he had plenty of game time and only scored once.
There is probably 1 striker at each club in the Championship better than him.
Don't think he would be a first choice for any club in out league. The only team that has been mentioned being interested in him is Sheff Utd, league 1, pretty much his level.

Nunez watched him in the reserves before loaned out to scunny all i will say is if played just behind strikers expect 20 to 30 goals next season, best prospect i have seen at leeds for a long long time

By what measure are Nunez and Paynter as good as any others in the league (unless you mean the telegraph fantasy football league). Unless Becchio gets injured (or Leeds cash in) paynter will not play many games. Assuming Howson, Snodgrass and Gradel (or McCormack) all play next season nunez wont get a kick either.

gradel and snodgrass not being sold . however grayson only 2 million to spend on new players and that is only if schemicel goes to leicester . wages stumbling block on loan signings . source thorpe arch security worker .

How would a security worker know this. None of the players have reported back for training and I cannot see Grayson or any of the Management Team discussing transfer policy with a security guard.

Are the security at Thorpe arch now informed of all spending budgets, wage bills etc?

What is worse, is that a 'security guard' can't keep his gob shut, hardly a good reference?

A security guard that is aware of the financial details of the transfer budget at Leeds?

Complete and utter bull...

leeds to sign M Johnson, Montgomery, Smith, Turner & Woodgate in next 2 weeks

We wont get any of them got no money as bates is tight

If Nunez has a good season ( and more importantly a chance in the team ) I am pretty sure he will become a fans favourite like becchio and hughsey sadly now departed. He is talked about alot despite hardly ever being in the limelight and seems to have the work ethic and energy, Come on Grayson get him involved, looking forward to next season. Leeds leeds leeds.

Lets hope he can bring a bit of flair to our midfield. we could do with some creativity in the middle of the park

He is amazing, watch him on LUTV If grayson doesn't start him next season he derserves to get sacked {Ed015's Note - not exactly the best reason to sack Grayson}

Nunez spends a lot of time away on International duty with Honduras, so Grayson will still need to bring in at least 2 midfielders.

Don't think he's as good as your making out watched him playing for honduras the other night, he came on after about 30mins and his workrate was poor imo and he never really looked for the ball was happy to let other people have it. Might develop though.

Hes a brilliant player.. just cos he has one bad game.. he'll be one of our best midfielders his season coming up..

Scunthorpe fans went mad for him back end of last season & Hughesy recommended him to them, obviously the players like him

Hughsey a fan fav no no no what a load of rubbish he was thank god he went

Hughesy was a fan favourite because of his work ethic. I have a season ticket and every fan around me gave louder cheers when Hughesy tackled someone than anybody else because he gives everything for the cause. No one ever said he was a good player.

eric lichaj having medical tommorrow

Isn't Eric still abroad with the US squad?

Hope cracking player, the more pace in the team the better

I would much prefer him to delph, he can defend, he can run, he can pass, he can cross. He's so versatile, grayson sign him up

According to his twitter he is still in America

He has finished the football and is on his way to see family in chicago according to twitter.

This rumour isn't true but what an amazing signing that would be. Best full back we've had since we got relegated from the Premiership

I am Leeds through and through if you cut me I would bleed blue all these people who say grayson should go and he is past it and want grayson sacked are all drama queens and a bit bored with there sad lives and want a bit of gossip grayson is young hungry ambitious and a leeds fan so go sit down catch up on your soaps cos your not leeds fans leave the job to simon simon lost the plot don't make me laugh all you sad people lost the plot a long time ago

Bleed blue? So your an Everton fan then?

You might be leeds through and through but your mad if you think Grayson can take us forward. He's done a great job but some of his decision making last season at crucial points showed he's not got the mental strength and I think this rubbed of on the team at the back end of last season. Respect Grayson for what he's done but not the man to take us back to the premiership in my opinion

Well said.

Ever heard of punctuation?

Chill out....

You bleed blue might wanna get that checked out {Ed015's Note - I bleed blue white and yellow.... think i need checking out? LOL }

Can i remind you of those ill chosen words around November time.
Just because I am not a Grayson fan doesnt mean I dont love my club, I do. the difference between you and me is you think grayson being a fan is enough, problem there is it isnt anywhere near enough. The way Kasper has been treated has been appalling. If Grayson has a better keeper lined up (reality is he hasnt) then fair enough, but to excuse the way the club have behaved by suggesting Kasper was responsible for our poor defensive record is really poor management. The facts are our back 4 (all grayson signings) werent good enough and we played with no defensive midfield cover all season (Grayson tactics). Grateful for the job Grayson has done getting us out of League 1, whether you like it or not (your obviously his wife or mum) he will NEVER take Leeds back to the premiership because he simply isnt good enough.

Well said, grayson simply isnt good enough

I dont see how Kasper has been treated appallingly. The management has told him that he has no future at the club and its best that he moves on, Should they keep him and let him think that he has a future with Leeds??
You may not agree whether or not he deserves to be let go, but you cant argue with the way it has been done. If my employer didnt rate me id prefer to know so i could move to somewhere that does

If you cut me I bleed white mate. Think you are a Chelsea fan

The lad is right to be honest, Graysons had too much stick, i think hes done a great job so far, just because we didnt get back to back promotions he has to go? its ridiculous, get off his back, he wants to take us back to the premier league and i know he will do it, idve taken just outside the relegation zone last season providing we just came up from league one, so lets see what happens next season before we start a witch hunt, we've gone through so many manager and you want another one that will disrupt stability that Grayson wants at Leeds? come on fellas get off the mans back

I think Grayson is a decent manager, not great perhaps, but decent. I couldn't care less whether he is a fan or not. For me though his weakness is that he alows Ken Bates to hide behind him. Bates gives him peanuts to spend and Grayson gets the stick for buying or loaning poor players...Bates wont allow the club to offer competitive wages and Grayson gets criticised for not retaining players. In the end it'll cost him his job as Bates will make him the fall guy, but other clubs will just see a manager who got the boot after building a team of misfits.

26 Jun 2011 13:18:55
Max kruse wikipedia (i know there not always right but this is a rumour site afterall) suggest he will be joining leeds this summer along with team mate moritz volz... Could be a good replacement for killa.

Would be nice, but volz has played in prem before so will be competition for a player of his caliber

Volz will be 1st choice right back, need to sign a decent left back and at least another centre back.

26 Jun 2011 12:16:35
Kasper just said on twitter he loves Leeds and will be playing in white next season

Kaspers twitter was hacked so nothing on there is now true unless posted by video

26 Jun 2011 11:47:25
seyi olifijanna from cardiff

He is a Hull City player and was on a season long loan at Cardiff s**tty last season......please try harder

Seyi Oliffinjana from Hull then..still a valid rumour.

Would be a great signing I think

this page is a rumour/banter page, however likely or unlikely the rumour its stil a rumour, banter is what u give between clubs. Slagging managers/chairmans/players however bad is not for this page . We are leeds we are the mighty whites we should get behind the manager no matter what! And as for signings any1 remember a lad called chapman??? He weren't the greatest signing but scored 30 somethin goals in our league title yr. Do u agree ed?? {Ed015's Note - i do remember and il do my best to put everything that isnt a rumour onto the banter page, there was a few players from the past 20years who stand out to me, but Chapman is one that often goes unnoticed}

I wrote original post and so many players have become cult heroes, yeboah, radebe and hasselbaink to name a few, these came from nowhere, never heard of, i got a feeling about nunez and that he will shine for us this year, whoever we bring in we should have faith in the boss and who he does sign after all none of us can do a better job than what he has in the last 2yrs

Grayson is tactically sh*t and has no back bone Also we gave Hasselbaink his first big chance and he f**kd as off as soon as A. Madrid came calling and couldn't w8 2 leave them as soon as they went down either, greedy judas

3m for smithies might be a large fee but if you put the money from the kasper sale then you only need to find 1.45m that should be achievable cos we need to start from the back and this lad is special could be worth 10m in a couple of years you can't lose he is class just who we need not that numpty from the scum

3m for a League 1 goalie? Ha ha, get back to football manager.

When was the last time, we payed 3mil for any player? Or even 1, 5mil? Get a grip.

If any league 1 keeper is worth 3 mil then he is. My brothers teacher at school (thonhill community science college) is alex smithies dad. And he said there is alot of interest in him but he ideally wants to stay in yorkshire.... Leeds are the biggest team in yorkshire. Uncle ken... Put ur hand in ur pocket

3 mill when we selling kasper for around 1 mill get real

Leeds will not spend £3m on anybody, its just not going to happen. If Leeds cant get new players on free transfers then we will only sign loan players. Leeds havent spent millions on a new signing since the ridsdale days, that situation isnt changing ant time soon.

Leeds are interested in Manchester United's Tomasz Kuszczak to replace Schmeichel.

www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2008153/Leeds-United-want-Tomasz-Kuszczak.html

Does he realise how many narrow minded leeds fans feel about ex man u players Re alan smith

Quality goalkeeper . nevermind the club hatred , i for one would love him to sign . mot

"does her realise how many narrow minded leeds fans feel abut ex man u player"
hopefully not!
would be a good signing for us, has been tested t the highest level and iswanting to move on to test himslef with regular football. will we get him..... no chance, hell go to a prem team over us any day, remeber scott carson off to bursapor, could be a replacement.

Most people want Smithy back, they were the only club willing to pay the whole amount of cash.

Quality will win folk over no matter where someone comes from! Don't believe me? Ask Giles & Strachan where they felt most loved!!!
