    The transfer window officially opens today, so no doubt the transfer talk will escalate in the press. Be interesting to see if there will be big money signings on the radar, Chelsea said to want to lay out cash to catch up to Citeh.

    As for Leeds, we really do need these funding talks to conclude so we can sign Colin's targets!! Would hate to miss out on players Warnock really wants as part of his squad.

    Our rival Championship clubs have been quiet, especially the relegated ones with the money. Expect things will pick up after the long weekend.

    Hopefully Bates does the deal and we can start speculating on who we will sign!! Come on Leeds!!

    Would be a good season to have money to spend with finances tightening at most other clubs. Might actually get a decent bang for our buck for a change. Wonder what currency will we be using for our purchases though, US Dollar, Australian dollar or whatever they use in Kuwait, maybe barrels of oil

    According to wiki:

    "Although, in England, the transfer window formally opens on 1 July, transfers between clubs in the same association can take place as soon as the last competitive fixtures for the season have been played. However, many transfers will not be completed until 1 July because many players' contracts expire on 30 June. Outside of the transfer window, a club may still sign players on an emergency basis, usually if they have no goalkeeper available. Special dispensation from their competition's governing body, for example the Premier League, is required. "


    Are you a month early, BS? Most players are still on holiday

    No, "officially" clubs can start signing players now, but they can only join their club squad list from July 1st, although it seems not to be an enforced protocol.

    That's right Bucks, Warnock moved quickly as Pompey needed the money to continue trading.

    Heard you're after Peltier of Leicester, do you think he would be a good signing?.

    He's got to be better than Connolly. Leicester fans seem to think his form dropped but It's not difficult to see Neil Warnock getting more out of him than Pearson.

    Are you suggesting that Leeds United should have dispensation to sell players whenever we can? Seems like we are constantly in need of exrtra cash! <somersault>
