So warnock says none of the rumours are true so that kicks out the hill rumour. Maybe another surprise I would get ojo from brann and a good creative medfielder.
Any ideas who

If you read what he said properly your see he said some of the rumours are not true SOME being my point, he did not say NONE read it again

Rumours are pointless in terms of credibility given our clubs no comment till signing in the bag policy but just a few ideas :

John guidetti - fully capped, prolific scorer for feynoord and clearly not fancied at city, exactly the type of striker we should be looking to bring in.

Leeds have always had a knack of raiding the spl and building great sides with a gaelic spine. Johnny russell, Gary mackay-Steven, Ryan Fraser, Andy driver and Billy McKay just some of the young talent available just now at low cost.

Finally I hear blackstock being mentioned but surely mcgoldrick would be a better option? Clearly not fancied at Forrest and scored more goals (admittedly in league 1)

Believable23 Unbelievable11

Mccgoldrick is on loan at ipswich

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol mcgoldrick has moved already, keep upto date lol. n all them scottish players r ok but we need quality n forget john guidetti we wnt spend the kind of money he would cost

Agree0 Disagree0

Shame hes at ipswich

Agree0 Disagree0

Niall McGinn of Aberdeen has looked a quality player this season.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jan 2013 13:59:54
Mckay (Rangers) and Russell would be cheap and great additions to the squad,

Would also like to see Templeton but doubt that will happen now.

Agree0 Disagree0

Guidetti will never come - He will go to Italy - top fotball

Andy Gray's had his contract terminated leaving space for Forest's Dexter Blackstock.

Believable29 Unbelievable14

09 Jan 2013 18:31:05
The signing being made 'before Saturday' is Michael Tonge.
Stoke are waiting to see if they can bring in another player before committing. That's basically all that's being held up.

We have not bid for Blackstock and we won't. We haven't bid for Faurlin either and we won't!
I know that we have made an enquiry for George Boyd at Peterborough and made an offer for Clint Hill so that we can let Tate go in Jan.

Another player NW has only just shown interest in is (believ it or not) Ian Harte. Don't expect him to start every game but his pin point crosses to Becchios head could provide goals. We have requested loaning him until end of Feb.

Source: In the know Agent

Believable33 Unbelievable22

That won't make our team any stronger!

source: my brain!

Agree1 Disagree0

Qpr are saying no offers from Leeds got Hill,

Agree0 Disagree0

No offer been made hill either source qpr

Agree0 Disagree0

Tate is here until the end of the season!

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 22:16:45
Didnt say it would make the team stronger lol. It's just what I've been told by an agent who has over 25 clients in the Championship and therefore is in regular contact with managers who also tell him things like "You're after X but I'm waiting for Leeds to up their bid for Y for him to be able to leave so that we can start negotiations for X"
The offer has been made, they are just mulling over it obviously as it was probably only received today.

Dexter Blackstock is on the verge of signing and 2 and half year deal for 800k. To be complete by friday morning

Believable22 Unbelievable35

09 Jan 2013 17:05:18
Have heard leeds are trying to terminate all contracts of players no longer required as those players can't find any clubs and we can't sell them

Rodgers
Nunez
Rubbergloves
Gray ( Already gone now)
Pugh

Believable42 Unbelievable5

Good idea. You forgot about Connolly. Shame about Nunez -always thought he had something, but I guess it's too late now. Chapel A

Agree1 Disagree0

You mean you have seen one contract cancelled and made your own wish list up for the rest. Nunez is out for the season and is going nowhere while injured.

Agree1 Disagree0

Pugh a useful player in a thin squad

Agree2 Disagree1

I always thought Nunez was good when he played, should have been given a bigger chance

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree with 4th poster, could have been our taraabt this season

Agree0 Disagree0

We could definately command a fee for Pugh or use him in a player plus cash deal

Agree0 Disagree0

Think we are all agreed on Nunez, he isnt going anywhere anyway whilst injured. Lets hope he gets another chance when he comes back?

Agree0 Disagree0

Rogers deserves another crack mind

Agree0 Disagree0

Rubber gloves .....class !

Agree0 Disagree0

Another agreeing on Nunez. Why, when we're crying out for a creative mid to play behind the strikers, do we not try out the fella who seems quite lively when he actually gets a game?
Warnock out!

Agree0 Disagree0

Cant believe people are praising Nunez. Far too lightweight, and never did anything when he was brought on. Good shot on him and tricky at times, but not up to Championship strength or standard.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nunez out for season, but deserves another chance! did ok for development squad.

please make a move for graham dorrans, not shaun derry. no more of harrys qpr rejects!

Agree0 Disagree1

09 Jan 2013 17:00:24
Blackstock and Mcgugan for Becchio and a small sum. Both forest players have been up in Leeds over the last 24 hours. Very reliable source.

Believable11 Unbelievable46

So have and i am not signing, means nothing, when someone signs it will be on the OS when we do

Agree0 Disagree0

Would not strengthen team and another sign that Leeds can still not keep hold of its best players

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 16:42:30
faurlin and blackstock are at thorpe arch having a medical right now!! be on OS by 9 o clock tonight...two decent signings in my opinion gray out blackstock good bit of business

Believable15 Unbelievable43

Be good signings if true

Agree1 Disagree1

Would love this to be true but have to see it to believe it!

Agree0 Disagree0

Hopefully...but not at expense of becchio etc

Agree0 Disagree0

Very unrealistic m8. leeds have never put anything on at 9 at night lol. faulin wnt ever join us.

Agree1 Disagree0

Dont bother checking the OS at nine cos there will nothing there......FACT

Agree2 Disagree0

Let's hope so

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 18:21:18
No confirmation of bid acception for Blackstock and HR has confirmed there has been no contact for Hill, Derry or Faurlin for that matter from Leeds United !

The player Neil Warnock expects to sign before this weekends fixture against Barnsley is Bristol city centre back Lewin Nyatanga, also he has placed a bid for Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban.

Believable12 Unbelievable26

ITs Tongue, on radio leeds.

Agree0 Disagree0

Two very good players both got pace and skill be good at leeds

Agree0 Disagree1

Grabban is decent but nyatanga is sooo useless

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 14:07:56
leeds to sign jozy altidore does anyone know much about him I know hes American and I thing he plays in Holland somewhere hes the striker Warnock wants apparently I do have a source but im not saying any names on here but he is part of the backroom staff if anyone knows anything about him please comment the player before the Barnsley game isn't tonge either but is a midfielder so watch this space


pep leeds united soldier

Believable20 Unbelievable24

I know about him!! Fast as fudge. Knows where the goal is too. Would probably take a season to bed into English football but could be a brilliant gamble.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not exactly prolific in his time over here !

2009“2010 → Hull City (loan) 28 (1 goal)

Agree0 Disagree0

H eplayed for Hull in the Prem didnt he ? Strong quick but not prolific

Agree0 Disagree0

He scores very few goals. a bit like freddy adu, he was once a hot young talent that never cut it.

Agree1 Disagree0

Played for hull a few seasons back when they were prem lge. built player but not much to him in my opinion.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's a very good strong and poweful player- not the best finisher at Hull but looking at him he has played fairley regularly at AZ Alkmar so can't see this happening. It would be good though, I'd be happy with it. He's like a poor mans Lakaku

Agree0 Disagree0

Wasn't he at Hull a few years back? I seem to remember him being a big lad and looked quite tidy ont ball.

Agree0 Disagree0

He didn't do great at hull because he was thrown into the premier league at only 21 and moving to a new country. He has been class for AZ but I would expect it to be a hefty sum though

Agree0 Disagree0

I had him in my fantasy team when he was with hull so watched him play abit when on tv and if I remember rightly he was fairly unlucky hit the post quite abit and showed great potential. Doing pretty well atm. If NW isn't looking at him then I hope he looks on here and starts looking!!

Andy Gray has had his contract terminated by mutual agreement..paving the way for him to sign for Bradford City.
Now lets bring some quality in!
MOT!

Believable32 Unbelievable2

All the best andy should av re_signed you when relegated from premier lge
Kella 74

Agree1 Disagree0

Nahki Wells please.....

Agree0 Disagree0

Step up for Andy then. JD

Agree0 Disagree0

Best of luck to him.

Crmd

Agree1 Disagree0

So nahki wells to us then?!

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fair he should have signed for Bradford in the summer, I think Warnock hands were tied when he signed him as cover, obviously now he has cash he aint required.

Good move NW, best of Luck Andy

Agree0 Disagree0

Good luck Andy. Agree would have been a great signing when we first came down to Champ. Shame we had such a limited manager then, bless him, old Blackie! Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

Are we to get Nakhi Wells?? In swap+cash for Andy Gray?? {Ed013's Note - No because Andy Gray had his contract torn up so he can move on a free. He will have been given a sum of cash from Leeds to make the move possible, however there is a small chance that Leeds have been given first refusal on Wells in this agreement}

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 12:11:39
In

Tonge
Tate (season loan if NW doesn't get Hill from QPR)
Delap
Blackstock
Faurlin - loan then perm in summer
Max Clayton
Alan Judge
Kim Ojo
Nak Wells

Out

Pugh- heard Sheff Wed interested?
Gray- Bradford-part of wells deal
Rachukba
Rodgers
Nunez to leave in summer after injury has been sorted

Believable21 Unbelievable32

Gonna be loads of offers on the table for wells so not sure about that one.

Agree0 Disagree0

So we are going to have 5 strikers on the books? Yeaaaah.. I reckon

Agree0 Disagree0

Max Clayton - would be amazing but doubtful as he is attracting interest from the Premiership
Wells - Phil Parkinson has said he is not leaving and he signed a new contract in the summer.
Gray - apparently a loan as back up and provide competition for Hanson

Agree1 Disagree0

Gray has gone, terminated contract by mutual consent. id take nahki wells anyday, loads of pace and a great finisher.

Agree0 Disagree0

My friend is a Bradford season ticket holder and he says that Wells isn't that good, he's too small and just gets pushed away by defenders all the time and he's not skillfull enough for the Championship.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol well you need 2 tell your friend to put his glasses on then as wells is quality n dnt get pushed of the ball easily

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 11:52:31
Leeds to ask about loan deal for howson? ?until end of season.

Believable27 Unbelievable24

Honest opinion? I don't think he'd recieve a warm welcome. He left us when we needed him the most.

Agree2 Disagree1

No thanks been there done that and prone to going missing.

Agree1 Disagree0

He left us to play prem football.
We can't keep slating ex players for wanting to better themselves! Remember he is behind the scene and see's bates selling everybody and giving false promises.
He is a Leeds lad and would have prefered to play in the Prem with us.
I personally would have all the good ex players back, it would be much better than the dross we are watching at the moment !!
LUFC KEK

Agree0 Disagree0

He can't cut it at Norwich, and why should we want him back, can do much better, the above post has it right, he goes missing way too much.

Agree0 Disagree1

Maybe warnock is trying to get back all the players lost over the last few years, as a way of keeping hes job or the new owners way of making fans happy

Agree0 Disagree0

We couldn't get promoted with them before so what's different now? Need young hungry players an the odd 30+ player for experience

Agree1 Disagree0

He never asked to leave, and provided us with some of our best moments of the last few years. Respect due methinks. Chapel A

Agree0 Disagree0

With him we finished 7th, and without him we finished 14th. I'm annoyed that he left us for Norwich, but I'd take him back. It's not like he went to Man you or something.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 18:56:32
"He didn't ask to leave us".........
What was not signing a new contract then? he left us no choice but to sell him or he would have walked away on a free.
Need new blood

Agree0 Disagree0

Definately would take him back. Still young, hard working, Leeds kid. Plays for the shirt. Can't blame him for wanting to play in Prem! Take him back and go to Prem with him. Its what team needs, local players who want Leeds Utd. restored to rightful status in Prem!

Agree0 Disagree0

Hi give the guy a break, he took a shot at the premiership and it does not appear to have worked out. Howson or Brown? No brainer in my book.

Agree0 Disagree0

He would not sign a new contract, this went on for sometime then norwich came in and he said he wanted premiership football, from what ive seen he needs to develop as a better player, he can't get in norwichs team that says it all

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 11:45:43
Its on the os that Warnock looking on bringing in a new face before barnsly game and all these stories are rubbish about all these players it just papers talking sh*t, so don't beleive anything you read till it on the os because we would have the biggest team in the world if all these rumours were true. ANT MOT

Believable20 Unbelievable7

If Its Michael Tonge I'm gunna be gutted!

Agree0 Disagree0

I reckon its gonna be blackstock

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 11:29:52
Leeds set to complete first signing before Barnsley game according to OS but NW won't confirm who it is. It seems the most likely are Tonge, Blackstock or Hill

Believable30 Unbelievable4

Wont think it will be any of the players listed. got a feeling an old face will return

Agree0 Disagree1

09 Jan 2013 11:27:14
Great to see that Leeds are looking to the future with another talented young signing 16-year-old Mufakose-born player Munyaradzi Mbanje.

He has already started training with us ahead of starting his two-year scholarship

Believable25 Unbelievable5

Where the f is Mufakose?

Agree0 Disagree0

Next to tim book two

He was there last year on trial apparently scored a screamer in a friendly game can't remember where i read it will try find link

According to the official site, Warnock has nearly made a signing and hopes to have them in by the Barnsley game. Tonge perhaps?

Believable30 Unbelievable7

Before the Middlesborough game I was chatting to someone who said (I believed him, he had a newcastle tie on and knew his stuff) that he was a newcastle scout, and he was being sent to watch Sam Byram and the Middlesborough keeper. He said that he thought Byram would probably be out of Newcastles budget now Leeds have been bought out though..

Believable14 Unbelievable23

So Byram is too expensive but french international Debuchy is not?

Agree0 Disagree0

Could be that Leeds' valuation of Byram is higher than Newcastle are willing to pay...although could just be another fairy story as well

Agree0 Disagree0

No i've heard everton are in for him

Agree0 Disagree0

Went to a game newcastle scout watched a game at er i was next to his lad in north and he told me

Southampton set to nip Leeds to the signing of Michael Tonge. Atkins seems kean on the midfield and feels his experience will help bolster their bid to stay up.

Believable13 Unbelievable31

Honestly think tonge would choose us over the saints with all the how he loved it at leeds and was playing his best football since his Sheffield utd days

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank god if true

Agree1 Disagree0

Houdini couldnt keep southampton up,, leave our players alone.. ASH,, SC

Agree1 Disagree0

Why would Tonge want to go to southampton?

No brainer...Leeds all the way

Agree0 Disagree0

No point him going to Saints. He would never get a game. He should go to Leeds

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jan 2013 04:43:53
Becchio to Celtic?

Believable9 Unbelievable55

This has been discussed for some time with Celtic interest in Bechio and Leeds interest in Hooper. Cant see it happening but Hooper only has one more season on his contract with them and looks interested in move south. Bechio would suit Celtic in possibly a swop deal unless bigger fish come in for Hooper or maybe he's personally looking higher than Leeds.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tom Lees set to stay at Leeds United until he's told he's not wanted anymore

Believable54 Unbelievable7

08 Jan 2013 22:46:27
Apparently Leeds are favourites to sign Oldham striker Jose Baxter on a free transfer at the end of January when his short term contract expires.

Is he any decent? Doesn't show too much ambition from the new owners to be honest but this could be a replacement for Andy Gray who has been linked with a move away. I doubt it's a replacement for Becchio!

Believable19 Unbelievable24

09 Jan 2013 01:27:00
Jose Baxter is a quality player. He is exactly what we need. Young, fast and hungry for goals. I know its just a game but he always turned into a quality player on football manager. His potential is huge.

Hope the rumour is true and we snap him up.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ex everton academy, young quick and exciting player

Agree1 Disagree0

I have my suspicions about GFH too - to say the least - but buying quality players from lower division sides at sensible prices is the clever way to do it.

That's basically the way the quality seventies Liverpool side was built. So what was the better piece of business - Keegan from Scunthorpe at a modest fee even by the standards of the time or bonkers stuff like throwing £35 million at Newcastle and getting - erm - Carroll back?

And to those who still think big ticket signings = quality = success, two words: Tomas Brolin.

fatfreddyscat

Agree0 Disagree0

Dnt show ambition? lol i think your find signing him would show ambition unless you think we should b buying top top players which is very unrealistic

Agree0 Disagree0

Jose Baxter has loads of potential was rated highly at everton but couldn't make the breakthrough so they reluctantly let him leave.

Agree0 Disagree0
