Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

It has today been reported that Leicester City are considering a move for free agent Matthew Upson, but face competition for his services from Leeds United and Brighton and Hove Albion.



The former England international has 21 caps to his name and spent last season on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion. However, a return to Brighton may be unlikely following the suspension of Gus Poyet

Quality signing. We should get him. Upson and Mills instead of Bromby and Kissa makes a lot of sense. Add Wabara and you have a back four with competition for places. It's gone quiet on the goalkeeper front. I want a new one.

Agree0 Disagree0

Getting a bit concerned about all these rumours now. isn't it about time we actually signed one of these aforementioned players. Yes there's going to be holidays, agents, player chains, weddings, etc, but we need to get in now before all the better players are snapped up.

Agree1 Disagree0

Re: last post. Why the panic over no signings as yet. Is Wayne bridge to reading the only signing so far this close season. Think need to give it a couple of weeks until pre season starts. If we've signed no one by then then agree its time to start worrying.

Agree0 Disagree0

People seem to forget when you employee someone you generally have to pay them from there start date. So would not get too worried no one wants to pay wages in the off season i'm sure it will all be good for start of pre season.

Agree0 Disagree0

We shall see won't we. don't be getting the fireworks out early.

Agree0 Disagree0

It will be Noel Hunt, 2 papers have reported that he's signed already.

Agree0 Disagree0

By my watch its tomorrow and, it's gone 3pm so where's the news on the OS?

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree0 Disagree0

I used to live in essex. you're lucky! Sat afternoons in the pub or at the game. I just surf! Winter day 19 degrees today chilllllleeeeyyyyy!

Brian Mcdermott is interested in bring Cameron Stewart as he's not getting a game at hull
Hes also looking at submitting a bid for Millwalls James Henry

Believable15 Unbelievable21

They are both good players what we need

Agree0 Disagree0

James Henry will be the target of several clubs this summer. Would be a great addition to any club. He has a first class delivery from open play or dead ball situations. Mcdermot and Gibbs could be favorite to sign him due to their former Reading connections. Millwall could find it hard to retain him this time round.

People who are saying B Sharpe wouldn't sign for Leeds are wrong. He agreed to join us when Beckford was going to join Newcastle, Bates asked for more money when he scored that famous goal at old toilet, I was at Billy's local dilivering and the landlord a (blunts fan ) told us he had signed a Leeds shrit for a young fan the day b4, the deal was all but done until bates wanted a profit on the deal.

Believable14 Unbelievable23

The point is we dnt need another st we need a better mid and def and gk. scoring goals ain't our problem its keeping clean sheets that is our problem

Agree2 Disagree5

Really? I seem to remember we went 1/2 the season without a first half goal I would say we need a striker as well.

Agree3 Disagree0

Once Becchio left we couldn't score at all. our top scorer in the end had 8 goals I think that shows we need a striker

Agree2 Disagree0

06 Jun 2013 20:16:55
Course we need a striker!

Agree1 Disagree0

Don't need a striker are you sure your a leeds fan? Our only regular goalscorer is now at norwich.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Ross would score a lot of goals if we played to his strengths instead of just kicking the ball long

Agree0 Disagree0

And if Ross gets injured then what? We need a couple of strikers at least.

Agree1 Disagree0

No we dnt players like austin need to quit shooting and learn to pass and ross and steve will both score at this level as they have shown but our poor midfield dnt pass and that's what we need to change not the strikers.

Agree0 Disagree0

we've signed noel hunt
asking fee for matt mills has been lowered to 750k
reece wabara will sign when he gets back from holiday
Weve had a bid rejected for billy sharp
Brian mcdermott is also interested in Kevin doyle of wolves and Albert adomoah of Bristol city

Believable43 Unbelievable11

That's everything that has already been written elsewhere, nothing new or original in your post mate.

Agree0 Disagree0

Adomah not a chance with him, he will b in the prem probs with palace as zaha replacement

Agree0 Disagree0

Is there anything to say we have signed noel hunt apart from the shi##y daily BaBa we, d never get adomoah won't pay what others will unfortunatly and will probably end up the same with wabara. I started this new window with positive thoughts but recently with all the shi#y rumours on here and dodgy (un-needed) exuses from baldy brian i'm rapidly thinkin nothings changed

Agree0 Disagree4

Stop moaning the transfer window ain't even open yet jeeez this site can be depressing at times.

Agree1 Disagree0

Baldy brian nice way to speak about the manager of leeds give up moaning will you

Agree1 Disagree0

I have to agree with the guy moaning about Baldy Brian's signings. Hunt and Morison is hardly a strike force to strike fear into anyone

Agree0 Disagree0

Respect for Brian please gents! Anyway, at the last reckoning around 50% of our travelling fans were baldies, so I'd be careful what you say guv. ! Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

I wouldn't have morison in the starting xi anyway. people seem to forget we have mccormack. 1 poor season doesn't make him a poor striker

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with you, I wouldn't have Morison in the starting eleven and I would not even have him on the bench and that goes for Hunt too

Agree0 Disagree0

I heard Billy sharp would never ever sign for leeds. if so why bother trying to get him. e en if he did sign he wouldn't put a shift in.

Believable9 Unbelievable27

Don't want him anyway

Agree0 Disagree2

Mmmmmm. Another well put together rumour. He must have bigger fish to fry then lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry, but that's a ridiculous comment. It's his profession, he's paid well, and it's a short career, lived-out in the public eye. Anyone who accuses players of not trying has obviously never played the game, and doesn't realise how bloomin difficult it can be at times to forge an opening etc. Did Smithy not try then, when playing in front of 75,000 at Old Trafford?

Rumour on twitter is billy sharpe bid rejected from us MOT

Believable25 Unbelievable14

If this is true - Hurray!

Agree2 Disagree0

06 Jun 2013 12:04:28
Personally don't think we ever made a bid for him, that would be too rich for our blood.

Agree0 Disagree0

To the person who said good, hmmmm because Noel Hunt is a much better striker than Sharp.

Agree0 Disagree0

Expect Albert Adomah to be a Leeds United player very soon. I say this confidently as I've just seen Brian McDermott with Adomah & his agent

Just seen brian mcd walking his dog and he was on the phone. rubbish

The daily Ba Ba have reported that Leeds have signed Noel Hunt on a free transfer.

The YEP say Leeds are set to battle with Celtic for striker Kevin Doyle. Brian McDermott likes the player but is yet to make an offers.

Leon Wobschall from Yorkshire Post has said Leeds strong admirers of Chris McCann but are yet to make a move. McCann has received an offer from Hull City.

Rapid Vienna have made a bid for Rodolph Austin worth believed to be in the region of £1,000,000. {Ed013's Note - Hmmm really, to be fair I would bite their hands off for that}

Believable6 Unbelievable39

Think you've put one to many 0's on buddy!

Agree0 Disagree0

Austin ain't worth nothing like that, our worst buy in along time, shocking player.

Agree0 Disagree3

06 Jun 2013 11:53:50
Cannot believe the bad press Austin gets, I rate him highly within the current squad and thought that the last few games he played as well as anybody!

Agree7 Disagree0

I'd pay his flight ticket, vastly overrated somewhere between Thomas Brolin and Frank Strandli

Agree0 Disagree4

06 Jun 2013 14:53:58
Mutch less overated than dross macormiss

Agree1 Disagree0

All austin does is shoot and most of the time misses by miles. shocking player with no teamplay about him. get him out of leeds now please good at tackling but nothing else

Agree0 Disagree1

Y ed he's a class player just ridiculed with injury {Ed013's Note - Just my opinion mate, I don't rate him, but will support him in a Leeds kit. His passing is terrible as is his positioning and I lost count how many times he gave the ball to the upper reaches or the North and South stands when shooting from everywhere on the pitch}

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Rudy comes in for too much stick. He came straight into pre-season after just finishing his season in the Tippeligaen. He's had a serious injury he's returned from in a ridiculously short time and has had a pretty hectic international schedule.

People should suspend judgement until next season

Agree4 Disagree0

Here here croggy

Agree0 Disagree0

Have to say, I'm with Ed on this one. I'll always give the 11 men in white my fulll support throughout the 90 mins, but I'm afraid Championship has always looked a level above Rudi's natural level. I think there's always been a lot of wishful thinking on the part of some fans about Rudi's ability, based largely on those YouTube clips of a couple of spectacular pot-shots that were doing the rounds at the time we signed him. Remember, even those clips were of matches against substandard opposition -in the Norweigan League, and playing for a very wek Jamaican team. Wholehearted lad, and seems like a nice fella, but I'm afraid those qualities alone will not get us up. Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

I seem to remember everyone on this site raving about Austin after his first few performances for us up to his injury. Unfortunately, I feel that fatigue from playing two seasons back-to-back and his injury took their toll and he didn't perform till the last few games of the season where we saw the real Rudy. He's a real asset to the team as he intimidates the opposition and he actually does make quite a few decent tackles. {Ed013's Note - Lets hope so mate}
