    Evening lads, what's happened at your end with RMc, was **** hot for you last year and would of thought you would of done everything to keep him, or has he fallen out of favor with the fans, personally I hope bristol city can get him, our local paper seem to have us favourites for him to sign with us, just can't believe your letting him go?

    All rumours at our end are of Crystal Palace if anything. I personally wouldn't like to see him go but he could be replaced if we get money in.

    Its **** or bust for us pal. Takeover and I hope we can hold onto the likes or McCormack & Snod, if not they will go.

    Cosmic, I would rather keep Rosco even for 2.5 mil because you know we wont replace him with quality under the current board!

    And your right Shiny, he had a great season for us although I hadnt heard you guys have been linked. Hudders yes, but Bristol City no <ok>

    If we could get 2.5 million for him and Beckford back for 2 million I would jump for joy

    What benefit is there for Rossco to go to another Championship club, especially the likes of Bristol City or Crystal Palace? Where is the ambition in that?

    I think this is all just paper talk at the mo. The players are all awaiting the outcome of the takeover talks, just like us, and then we will really know how the land lies if some of them walk rather than stay.

    Still no word on Aidy either

    Warnock wants to play a 4-2-3-1 system with a physical striker up front (Becchio/new man if we can do better), and a skilful player in the middle of the '3' in the Taarabt mould (Snodgrass/new man if he doesn't sign).

    So you can see why Warnock can't give McCormack a first team assurance for next season and why he might be sold, not that I'm pleased with that.

    Leave Beckford alone, he is doing a "Fu King" great job for Leeds at the moment where he is....

    Mccormack was POY by a mile for me. What ever position in what ever formation he was a class above. But yet it appears warnock doesnt think he fits the bill. real shame.

    As for White, he must be holding back talks with other clubs until he sees the result of takeover talks, with the possibility of an improved contract

    I agree with this and I only think snoddy won it because of his reputation, nothing else. McCormack was great for us last season and if he leaves leeds it wont be to go to another champ club, especially someone like Crystal Palace or Bristol City

    Yep. Defo right about snods reputation as well as his popularity with fans. He had some stinkers last season. Mccormack was more consistent

    Rumours at this end are of a swap deal - Stead plus cash?

    Didn't Rossco go for a long spell without scoring? Doesn't sound consistent to me (when compared to Snoddy).

    Rosco gives way more than goals to the team. When he first joined the club I did think he was jsut a goalscorer but he isn't, hes better than that because he drops deep, picks up the ball and creates. With performances he was more consistent I think

    When we are playing badly, you need one of your better players to step up and Snoddy never did for me. I still rate Snoddy as a better player than Rosco but he didn't have a better season

    Might have been in the offing before, but once the new owners come in I don't see us going for that kind of deal as hopefully we won't need to sell to buy any more.

    Getting rid of Ross is a wise move, he is undoubtedly talented but can not maintain it. Although I like a good character in the team, I don't see him as a modern professional or a player that will go two seasons in a row without an injury.

    Like quite a few Scot's he clearly has a liking for the "sauce". Remember he was done for drink driving in 2009, plus at the end of season party he embarrassed himself as well by been clearly out of his depth with the drink. So it might be time for a new Leeds Board to cash in and move on & reinvest.
