    Leeds United's Ross McCormack is the subject of a transfer bid from Middlesbrough, Sky Sports understands.

    They can bid what they like. Why would a)we sell ross to a competitator; & b)why would he want to go play in front of half empty stands and nothing supporters?

    Also Reece Wabara has signed for Donny. So that takes one link away

    I really don't think we're that far off being a good side. Yes we could do with a commanding CB, but we'd need a CB to leave & that's not going to happen. Depending on what happens with Hall, we may also need a winger. But again, we have Poleon and White on one side and Hall potentially on the other. Given what's coming through the ranks and that this is currently a 2 year project, I'm beginning to think that with the current squad, we won't be that far off.

    Bit worrying about Byram possibly needing a hip operation though.

    No, I don't think we need a CB to leave, we are quite light in that area. If anything a CM can leave so we bring in a CB

    Can only see Rossco leaving if the person that Bmac has been interested in for months is a striker

    Blackpool are another rival for promotion. So the only way Ross would go there is if they offerred us silly money

    The Shammers have apparently accepted our bid for Matt Taylor!


    EDIT: McDermott on BBC Leeds, says there is nothing in the Matt Taylor rumour

    Strange one if true. Not a bad player, but he's essentially a left back, and we're well covered there. Can also play wide left midfield, but no pace so not the winger we need.

    We're trying to sign Scott Wootton from scum - CB, currently on a month to month contract, would cost a nominal fee

    If we signed him and he did well enough to justify whatever expense we incurred in getting him, I hope the kop would give him a fair wind given where he'd come from.

    As far as signings go, I'm putting my full faith in McDermott at this time. So whoever he brought in I would support until they at least justified differently.

    We did sign Danny Pugh first time round from Scum, can't really remember but did he get any stick from the kop?
