    What a load of ****.

    I sincerely hope Warnock's policy of signing ageing cloggers is going to pay off. Not doubting him, but I think it's entirely possible things are going to end badly.

    Isn't he another player who's moved position too? I always thought he was a striker who rarely scored goals, not a winger/striker. Surely he can't be any better then what we already have. I#d imagine Lloyd Sam will be demanding a move in the summer, if he gets a place above him.

    Warnock thinks he can bring the best out of him along with Brown

    Unfortunately, 'the best out of him' is probably average League One level.

    Oh dear, I have a feeling Warnock is going to need a magical wand

    Only time will tell. But we have Snoddy, Sam, & Rodgers playing out wide along with possibly Pugh or White. Why do we need another wide player, especially someone who's been out of the game for so long?

    One thing's for sure: if Grayson had made this signing, he'd have been laughed at by the fans and by Bates and Williams.

    Will Warnock's man-managing abilities help him avoid similar criticism coming in his direction? I really hope so.

    Becchio hasn't been the same after missing pre season, this guy hasn't had a club since the summer, how on earth he is going to contribute anything is a mystery. He might just get match fit as the season ends and I agree with Iqbal - I would be going ape if this was a Grayson signing so I shall try my hardest to sit on the fence and wait and see

    But Grayson had a terrible record with transfers. Warnock's mostly getting the benefit of the doubt because it's his first signing as Leeds manager. If he makes several poor signings, then we can start to complain.

    Lets see what happens with Webber. He might be decent for us. Don't judge before he plays for us.

    Yea i am seriously embarrassed that we have signed this player. I am normally quite open to new players coming in, giving them a chance and then making my judgement but this time I genuinely am not impressed. cheers colin <ok>

    Do you want the honest opinion or the hopeful opinion?
