If we can sign them 3 young very talented players, we will have one of the best teams in champo if i'm honest. The team is already half decent jus need youth and exuberance! COME ON YOU WHITES
Agree4

Tag on chris forester to that list, and with the three we already have I for one would be well excited for the mighty whites over the next couple seasons, it's been along time coming, I have supported Leeds since I was six, Iam fifty this year and the last ten years or so have been painful.
Agree2

Reece wabara sounds a great player but I think if we gave lee peltier a chance at rb and push byram to rm we would need a solid cb and use Pearce as backup max clayton and Mackay steven will be fantastic signings. MOT. We're going UP
Agree1
Disagree1
No chance with max
Agree0

Would be happy with any of those 3, young & up and coming players, would really excite us fans.
Agree1

If we are going to get a defender, I'd rather get a taller and more experienced CB than Wabara.
Agree1
Disagree0
I posted about Clayton a while back, hopefully Murphy has told bri all about him
Agree0
Disagree0
Whats so good about Clayton? rather give the lads in our own youth set up a go. Poleon, Walters and Parkin. Claytons been given a lot of chances by Creeand not shown out special really has he? And reading reports on Walters and Parkin and seeing Polean play, we have cracking potential up top.

Just finished an interesting conversation with a Leeds fan, who I've not been in contact with for years. He apparently knows someone from LUFC press office, who say we are about to sign a player from Port Vale. but the trouble is, there's a potential headache to sort out for the press team as this guy is a Manchester United fan. sounds like the aim is to play this down and make light of it in the media. Tried Googling "Port Vale player Manchester Utd fan" but no luck. Anyone any ideas. plus could you cope with a Manchester United fan playing for us?

Come on mate half our kids team wet dream at the thaught of watching play
Agree1

Ermmmm. Adam Le Fondre is a big Manchester United (if you'll pardon the expression) supporter and nobody seems to care if they have noticed.
It really doesn't matter. We do some missionary work on any Man U supporters among the players, explaining politely but firmly that there's only one United and they play in white.
Problem solved! :D
Agree0

Tom Pope is manchester utd fan league 2 top scorer

Why would been a Man U fan make a difference? And we've have Man U fans play for us before doesn't make a difference, clearly chatting s***

Jennison Myrie-Williams plays for Port Vale and supports them!

A native of Stoke-on-Trent, Pope grew up as a Port Vale supporter. [64] He is an accomplished amateur golfer, having reached the quarter-finals of Stoke-on-Trent's Sentinel Shield competition. [65] He wears contact lenses. [66] He is a darts fan. [16]

Of course it doesn't matter. the love for your club is always more important than hate for another. I couldn't care less what team players support if they get us promoted

First reply here it is ALF whos the Manchester United fan not matt mills sorry guys

What a stupid thing to say. Being a man U fan should have no bearing at all

We’ve already got a Manchester United fan playing for us. Simon Lenighan. And that’s true!

. Question is how many Manchester United Players are Leeds United fans?
Agree0

Aaron lennon was a big Manchester United fan
Agree0

Aaron Lennon's brother was a Man U fan, he wasn't
Agree0
Disagree0
I couldn't give a damn which club any of our staff habitually support. Jack Charlton is a life long Newcastle supporter (for very obvious reasons) and that didn't prevent him being the linchpin of Revie's team for 20 years. I don't think that his commitment to the white shirt was ever questioned. PK

Paddy Kenny is a Manchester United fan.

Santa is a Leeds fan, Santa is a Leeds fan. Doesn't stop him making the occasional trip to Surrey to drop off ugly Manc shirts for the good little home-counties plastics
Agree0

Dont u think that regardless of who a player likes to dream of playing for or supports. If he joins Leeds Utd its the fans support and affection for him that will easily turn him into a true loyal white. Only we can achieve that!
Agree0
Disagree0
Its Tom Pope
Agree0
Disagree0
What a ridiculous and, if you'll forgive the directness, childish question. These guys are professionals, for Chrissakes; who they supported when they were kids, and what they get up to now in their own free time is their own business. All I care about is whether they are good enough; and the bottom line for them is their own performance. End of. Chapel A

These things can take time.
Again, predicting that we're signing a sponsorship deal including naming rights, hinged on the purchase of Elland Road.
Wouldn't be surprised if Pappa Smurf was the owner of Elland Road. Must be some reason he was made club President.
It's a decision that would be a bit like Hu Jintao becoming president of Europe.

Explains why we we've gone all the way to Slovenia, why else would they have gone there.
Either that or Hall is linking up with them out there?

and sam byram has joined them on tour.
Agree1

Sam flew with them though, I doubt Hall is linking up either because his wife is due to give birth and I doubt he'd leave for a couple of days after his baby is born. That'd mean even if she popped now he'd have missed nearly the whole tour.

Your mates mate must have been Sam Byram pulling his leg.

the brother of a good friend of mine is a football agent. He has said that Leeds and Ipswich are both in for Djimi Traore of former Liverpool fame. They are both seeking to release him from his contract at Seattle Sounders and bring him back to Europe. 33 now but versatile, athletic and experienced. Can play LB or CB. Would people be happy with Traore?
Believable8
Unbelievable60
No.
StevenLufc
Agree0

Sounders won't let Traore leave he's been solid for them and he enjoys it there, no chance of him leaving. If there's a Sounders player that should come to Leeds it's Ozzie Alonso without a doubt
Agree0

Ozzie Alonso, that name fits in with all the other crazy names we've had over the last few seasons :)
Kilkenny
Snodgrass

Tommy Rowe will not be signing for Leeds. Peterborough will not sell him after selling Gayle, Darragh Macanthony and a P'boro journalist have both said so.
Believable33
Unbelievable19
" Darragh Macanthony and a P'boro journalist have both said so. "
Oh well, it MUST be true then!
(by the way WHO are THEY?)
Agree1
Disagree0
Why did Barry Fry make it all public about Leeds interest in the player then if he was not trying to put him in the shop window?
Agree2
Disagree0
Tommy Rowe is still on the transfer list at Peterborough due to only having a year on his contract so he is for sale. Have you noticed only Darra McAnthony, Barry Fry and Peterborough Journolist's keep mentioning Rowe and Leeds interest. We have never officially declared an interest, also it would appear they are simply trying to ramp up his price and get other clubs involved. Palace fell for it over Gayle by spending to much on him, but the summer is a long time, let them sweat.
Agree0
Disagree0
What he actually said was that they don't need to sell him, doesn't mean that he isn't for sale anymore. The player wants to move on, i'd say it seems like its up to us to get him if we want him!
Charlie brown
Agree0
Disagree0
Darragh McAnthony is the peterborough chairmqn so I think he would know
Agree0
Disagree0
In my opinion as soon as they get some more players in (p'boro) they will start to lower their price expectations for rowe. I think he will be a last days of the window transfer to whoever puts a bid in for him.
Fry has shot himself in the foot trying to drum up silly offers.
Agree0

"Darragh McAnthony is the peterborough chairmqn so I think he would know"
Ah, thank you for that, shows how little I know about Peterborough then (or how little I care for that matter - lol!)
