jason peace complete deal just now sky sports news 15mins ago

Thanks for wasting us time,theres nowt on skysports about a new signing,cheers for that.

We havent yet but paul jewell has said hes missed out on him as pearce as all but signed for us

Right on Sky Sports is it, why do people just lie, do really have nothing better to do! He may sign, he may not, but why say he has an its on skysports when its not!

Isn't he contracted till may the first anyways
So it can't be revealed till his old deal runs out.

Jason Pearce and Greg Halford were not included in Pompey's match day squad today. Michael Appleton did say that those players who Pompey had received, and had accepted offers for, would not be included in todays squad. So am 100% certain that Pearce will complete deal when transfer window opens. With Halford also not being in today's squad am of the opinion that he will also be joining Leeds. Pompey fan.

Good luck Pompey fan,on a swift return to the championship,we Leeds fans understand the miss management and its the fans it affects the most
MOT

Hope Halford and Pearce is true, great signings at this level.

On Portsmouth.co.uk The News is that Jason Pearce was not able to play in the last game as part of the terms of his move to Elland Road. {Ed020's Note - sure does!! http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/pearce-and-halford-on-their-way-as-sales-hot-up-1-3787314 }

Grant Leadbitter rejects new Ipswich offer. Hmm possible signing for Leeds?

I would like to think Warnock could get him to Leeds but there will be many clubs on the phone to him but you never know

I reckon he is one of the signings that warnock was talking about mot

I heard he'd signed a pre-contract with 'Boro?

According to a local paper in Munich called abendzeitung, hoffenheim forward Kevin Holland will not be renewing his loan spell at 1860 münchen in the summer and plans to move to England for a season with Leeds its showing interest.

Im getting confused with this one as some people are saying Holland , Some Voller and some Volland , which is it. Voller seems to be Rudi's son. If he is hald as good as Yeboah or Hasselbaink then would be good , doubt it though

Kevin Volland (born 30 July 1992 in Marktoberdorf, Bavaria) is a German footballer, who plays for TSV 1860 München on loan from TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and previously the German under-19 national team.[1] He made his professional debut on 14 August 2010, when he came on for Djordje Rakic in the DFB-Pokal match against SC Verl.[2] When Hoffenheim reviewed Volland's contract in November 2011, they decided to extend his contract at the club until 2015. His contract at TSV München, however, expires in the summer of 2012.
He is presently in the roster for the Germany national under-21 football team.

With Neil Warnock's retained list coming out next week, this would be what I would like to see happen if I was him (but I'm not haha) And yeah we all know that Diouf's scum but these types of players are great to have on your side, a bit of unpredictability is what we need

GK: Lonergan
RB: NEW RB, SUGGESTIONS?
CB: NEW CB, SUGGESTIONS?
CB: Pearce (Seems done)
LB: NEW LB, SUGGESTIONS?
RM. Snodgrass
CM. Clayton
CM. Green (Likely)
LM. Diouf (Call me mad but he'd add some fire to our team)
ST. Somma
ST. Becchio

SUBS: Pugh, White, McCormack, Lees, Rogers

Reserves: Bruce, YOUNG LOAN GK, C.Taylor, Nunez, Turner, Turner, Brown, Poleon, Lenighan, Gimpel, OLD JOURNEYMAN WHO CAN PLAY UP FRONT, SUGGESTIONS?

27 man squad including youth players

Clint hill CB hopefully, maybe kevin davies as journeyman CF, and start looking at young hungry players for the squad from youth team and lower leagues!

Somehow I just can't see a front pair of somma and becchio being NW's first choice next season. i get the feeling he'll bring in someone new up front

Good post! I think that Paddy Kenny will be signed if QPR stay up? We do need a few experienced players in key postions, so add Hill, Bowyer or Derry and Diouf, who could all help the younger players from the U18's coming through. Gimpel looks quality!

GK: Lonergan
RB: Gunter
CB: Pearce
CB: Lees (Loves LUFC!) If not, Upson, Mills, St Ledger, Woodgate or Hill
LB: Robinson
RM: Snodgrass
CM: Clayton
CM: Leadbitter
LM: Adomah
ST: McCormack
ST: Rodriquez (Becchio to Boro - 3mill)

SUBS: Pugh, White, Nunez, Bowyer, Bruce, Brown, Somma

Great team from 4th reply. would love to see that!

I know that he'll never be the same again,but paddy kisnorbo does deserve a bench or squad player status surely?

Kevin davies is very unlikely and only possible if bolton relegated

GK Lonergan
RB Gunter/halford
CB lees
CB mills, or st ledger
LB white/harte(white could learn so much)
RM Snoddy
CM Clayton
CM leadbitter
ST Becchio
Mccormack
Subs; Pugh,taylor, kisnorbo, rogers, somma

Unfortunately football is business,and paddy must go. No time for sentiment and I`m sure he`s been payed well by lufc !
"T"

An old experienced striker like errrrr..... mikael forssell?

Would love Michael Owen to join as experienced play

Either simeon jackson or chris martin will do nicely proven championship players

Would like to see everyone at Elland Road on saturday giving Beckford and Schmeichel a good reception. They served us well

Hope they would come back but that won't happen

Beckford sold out for a better career so he can p..s off!!!! got far didnt he, no different than smith who everyone slags off but he was sold and made the club money this tosser did it to make himself rich!!

So your saying you would rather welcome smith back to elland road than beckford? Lol good one

Don't want schmeichel back. he is totally overrated and lonergan is far better. e caused our defense so many communication problems last season that, sure he made some fantastic saves but he became a liability for letting in really simple goals

So your saying you'd not quit one job for a better paid one?

Clayton, snodgrass, mccormack, bechio and lonergan could all leave and make more money but that doesnt mean we have to be happy about it

Ur saying beckford shouldnt be welcomed back to ER cos he left a league 1 side for a top half premiership team, how can someone who scored the goal to get us out of league 1 and beat man united not be given a good welcome?

Looks like pearce is a done deal according the Paul jewell!

27 Apr 2012 12:55:49
Ipswich boss paul jewell believes Pearce deal to join leeds is agreed as offers from other clubs have been turned down. Great first signing in my eyes. MOT

Heard this a few times. is there a link or anything?

Go on newsnow and read about ward going to ipswich.

Owen Hargreaves, 31, will not be offered a new deal by Manchester City at the end of the season. Leeds United will be looking for his signature with a free transfer on the cards when he leaves Manchester City. Other clubs are interested in the England capped midfielder and will be looking to bring his experience and quality to their midfield but Leeds United are faverouites to secure his signature

Source - The Guardian.

Just read the article in the guardian. Nothing on there about Leeds

Not sure. Hasn't played in ages. Pay as you play only

I wouldnt mind for this to be true. would rip the championship apart. wages are an issue though

I've got a feeling that wages wouldn't be so bad. The guy is aching to play regular and is a pro. Pay as you play would be a good idea but I think a years contract wouldn't be too hard to swallow. Stay fit, play well, get rewarded with a longer contract.

Not a chance Bates will fork out for Hargreaves. His wages will be at least 5 times what he'd be willing to pay

Hell of a shop window at Leeds if he only wanted to show case his talents

With his track record I can't see him lasting too long in the championship without an injury

Well once hes out of contract there may only be championship clubs after him so he would have no choice but to drop his wages or he could find himself getting nothing and sat at home

You must be seeing things cause just been on the G and there is nothing on there you must of been sleeping

Waste of wages - chances are he would only be fit for 10 games in the season anyway

Leeds to sign 19 yo forward kevin voller from 1860 munich.. warnock failed to sign the youngster whilst at qpr.

27 Apr 2012 00:05:42
Leeds looking to bring a loan signing in from man city for next year I believe it is vladimir wiess who is currently on loan in Spain.scouts have been to watch him.

Watched Weiss play for Rangers all last year
Seriously bettter skill level than we have on the books
can be a little over complicated on teh ball - but has something most of our players dont have - TALENT!

Would be an insane signing and would tear the championship up, but i dont see it as likely.

I would have thought loan signings would be the last thing they'd think about taking on. first and foremost, we need a squad. Then we will see what we can add to it when the transfer window shuts.
