    He is getting his fitness up and he approached us and asked if he could train/trial - Much prefer we say no to him than sign him and have a wage leak on someone who isn't considered good enough - He might well be good for all I know I just feel he probably isn't otherwise pen to paper would have been done by now surely?

    Thats one meaty midfield. I would have used White as an attacking wing back, and should we get Peltier, he too can venture forward too. Becchio is not physical enough to be a lone forward, he falls over too much, and needs another forward to play off

    Good luck to him I say. We've moved on & we now await your return YW to give our likely starting CB pair of Pearce & Lees a bit of a run for their money.

    As one player nears the Leeds United exit, another could soon be added to the squad after Neil Warnock confirmed he is ready to offer a contract to Martin Cranie. The former Coventry City defender has been training with Leeds for the past two weeks.

    If you mean Crainie, I think it's left back with the occasional centre back role when needed.

    Not according to Sky Sports;

    "The former England Under 21 international, who can play at centre-half and left-back, has shown enough to warrant Warnock to follow up his interest".

    I reckon he's just a physical player who kicks it anywhere when he has the ball, hence he plays anywhere in the back 4. His technical skill is probably nowt and isn't required to display footballing skills. It should be noted that in the pre season games he has played in, we have not lost a goal whilst he has been on the pitch. It could be that Crainie and Pearce are the starting centre half pair, we may therefore be difficult to score against.
