Lot of rumours going around that max gradel will sign. He said he is happy in France but hopes one day to come back to England
Marty Taylor will not join as Brian McDermott denied it on tv sport tonite he also denied Matt mills
Believable21
Unbelievable68
What is it with leeds fans and max gradel the guy is petulant and almost cost us promotion threw his dummy out of pram on more than 1 occasion and isn't he injured at moment oh and we linked every window by desperate fans
Agree3
Disagree3
Get a grip and move on with the constant links to old players, Gradel could say he would die for the club. But he has no links to BMD or any of his staff so why would he even be on their radar?
Agree2
Disagree0
Get over it and move on . the constant ramblings of bringing back ex players is boring and is not likely to happen. Oh and by the way, there are better players out there. Perhaps it's time you left player recruitment to Brian McDermott . he knows best, there's a good boy.

Unbelievable72
Aaa come on not this again people said Simon Grayson wanted him back then warnock and now Brian mcd wants him back aswell what is it with leeds managers wanting gradel back at leeds.
Agree3
Disagree2
I think he'd be exactly what we need. A pace winger and someone who likes the club a lot and gets on well with the rest of the squad as well as someone who is liked by the majority of fans!
Seen it a lot and each time doubting the truth behind it but I hope BMD gets him back
MOT!

I would love him back
But referring to the 2nd poster I think it is more what the fans want to hear than realistic but if it happens I will be very happy

Ross has said today he can't talk about the rumours about him leving, I 100% think he will stay but it's not like Ross not to comment, I think he maybe tired off it so decided to no comment. I can't see us letting him go unless a prem club offers say 3 million

He's been told not to talk about speculation after the Blackpool rumours, check his replies to tweets where people have asked him!

The long term target is max gradel! Bmd wanted him when he was at reading and wants to give leeds fans someone who is a going to draw the crowds again!
Believable11
Unbelievable33
What, bigger crowds than the 33k for the season opener?
If buying Gradel for say 2 million magically expands the stadium capacity then I say we should buy him, now. Just imagine it; a 125,000 all-seat stadium filled with fans magically appearing out of nowhere the day Gradel signs the contract with his own fairy dust.

100% fact leeds will sign john guidetti on season long loan from man city
Believable22
Unbelievable25
Would love this to happen as i'm a massive fan of Guidetti, but I seriously doubt it.
Agree1
Disagree0
What is factual is that he has an outstanding goal scoring record; is regarded as being a major international prospect in Holland; has been on loan at Feyornaard who would like him back and that Sunderland are similarly interested. Why would he agree to drop to the Championship with this track record and these options available to him? Hope you are right though!
Agree1
Disagree0
Feyenoord and Sunderland want him, so this rumour is a non starter
Agree1
Disagree0
We don't do foreign exciting players, we sign players like Smith, Varney and Hunt.
Un true!
Agree1

Fact is certainly is not.

Unsure how true this is, but I've heard from a couple people now, & also read on a social network site that BMcD could have turned to free agent David Bentley after missing out on Jobi McAnuff. Anyone else heard this? Or know anything about it?
Believable20
Unbelievable32
If Bentley somehow recaptures his Blackburn form, then he is an awesome player at this level.
Agree2

I heard Espanyol Stoke and FC Utrecht were all in for him
Agree0

Wrong attitude, shame because he looked good at times. He'd still be a good signing for a poor side like us tho.
Agree0

I Bentley recaptures his Blackburn form, he's an awesome player at any level. That was quite a while ago, though.

Sam Byram to have hip operation could this not have been done in the Summer giving him more time to recover?
Believable23
Unbelievable7
Doesn't bode well.
Gylfi Einarson had the world at his feet until his hip operation. oh hang on a sec.
Agree1
Disagree0
Well, no-one knew he needed the operation then. they still don't know for certain. Why don't we operate on every member of the squad carrying a niggle over summer then?
Berty
Agree0
Disagree0
Answer is no obviously, I think they would know more than you
Agree1
Disagree0
No if you listen BMD said he 'may' have to have surgery, but might not. Plus surgery would have been a last resort if they thought he could recover naturally.
Agree0
Disagree0
Its is believed that they have tried giving him injections for this injury in the hope that it would have recovered and he could play through. Obviously this could mean a potential chronic injury which will not only effect his playing ability but also damage any future transfer activity. Bright young starlet but I fear will never reach his full potential and may have limited exposure in the team in the future.
Agree0
Disagree0
An operation on someone as young as byram is a last resort and should only be done if nothing else is working
Agree0
Disagree0
Incorrect bmd said that he might need an operation but we don't know at this stage
Agree0
Disagree0
Good God some people have already written Sam off as being finished!
Cant be that critical or he would already be under the knife!
KTJ - Abu Dhabi
Agree0
Disagree0
Seems the club have got it wrong as they did a few years ago when Becchio were injured, and he ended up missing a chunk of the season, due to not having a op when he should have done, Byram should have had the op in may, now because he didn, t he, l more than likely be out til early 2014.
Agree0

07 Aug 2013 19:27:47
Its a smoke screen so no one signs Byram and come early September he will make a recovery an surgery will not be required!

Rubbish player no thanks

After being given the go ahead for more signings due to funding definitely coming in Humpty Dumpty is joining the race with Wigan for 1.5 million rated James McLean.
In my opinion this would be a good signing and we do need wingers

Mcdermott looks nothing like humpty dumpty. he has a bald head

Show respect to the manager - in fact call him that ridiculous derisory ( look it up ) name again and Ed will intervene - right Ed? - {Ed013's Note - Correct. I missed that, although Banter, some will see it as abuse/name calling and I know a minority were singing a humpty dumpty song in the Kop, but not on here, thanks}

Good player but can't see it myself.

Rumours Round Up:
Jobi McAnuff speculation was quickly quashed by Brian McDermott this morning.
Reece Wabara has joined Doncaster on loan.
Leeds have had a loan bid for Matt Mills rejected.
Boro have bid for McCormack, expected to be rejected.
Leeds still keeping a watchful eye over Chris Forrester.
McDermott has told Keith Fahey have to prove his fitness and he may be offered a short term deal.
Kevin Doyle still doesn't want to join Leeds and we will not pay £2 million for him.
McDermott doesn't want older players. (Rules out Gorkss)
Winger and a CB are the main priorities.
Believable42
Unbelievable6
Wabarra may well have been the forth target, it would make sense after BMD said it looked like falling through and he then joined Donny
Agree0

No chance, Doncaster Rovers would not get a "decent" player over Leeds United. Wabara either wasn't a target or isn't as good as people like to think.
Agree0

07 Aug 2013 12:36:32
When I was on twitter, I spoke to Wabara's dad around a month ago. He said City wanted to let him go permanently.
Agree0
Disagree0
07 Aug 2013 20:14:32
Wabara needed to sort his future out, pretty sure there were intrest from us, his dad indicated this on twitter, but as we are unable to move dead wood on, we, re handicapped, allowing Doncaster to get him.
