Morning Everyone, It looks more than likely that McCormack is going to sign for Championship rivals Fulham in a 10m deal. McCormack, as you will know was omitted from the squad that flew out to Italy this time yesterday morning. Since then, there has been a frenzy of speculation on twitter. Is 10m too good to turn down? Does Ross deserve his chance of a big pay off after three or four years of local service? Another player who didn't travel to Italy was Paddy Kenny, who was told to stay at Thorp Arch to regain his fitness. Not wanting to make things sound worse but Noel Hunt wants to make amends for his appalling season last year, and be a big part of the first team. How can he make amends? The transfer window opens today, and we will know whether or not we are stuck with Cameron Stewart? Here's hoping that we have manager to wriggle out of that one.... There has been a flurry of players leaving Leeds over the last couple of days. Let's recap :- Nathan Turner Paul Green Simon Lenighan Zeliukas (about to leave) Thoughts?
All positive so far. Only footballer to leave of any use is of course Ross but the offer is far too good specially when he wants out anyway. The offer is however only too good, IF the proceeds are fully invested in new players. That amount could buy maybe five quality European players and not has beers like we usually get. If the money is spent on paying bills, it will be a sad state of affairs. I've a feeling all will be well. Morning all by the way
Morning all. If, and in my eyes its a very big if, Fulham really have submitted a bid of £10m, then I think it will be very hard to refuse. Having said that, I don't believe some of the cr^p elsewhere that Ross has allegedly submitted either a transfer request or a request for £30k a week. Unless anyone has hard evidence to back this up, perhaps they should foxtrot oscar off to JA where they appreciate such brainless chatter. On those definitely leaving, no great surprises so far. Zaliukas may have played in the SPL, but that's just about on a par with the bottom half of the championship. So no wonder that he may not have done enough to retain his place. On everyone else, time will tell. On Hunt, all he needs to do is forge a partnership with Smith. Can't at the moment see it happening. But stranger things have happened.
Good morning from a very sunny Bardsey Ross sold for £10m the bloke Cellino must be a genius to get that for him lets hope Fatty Kenny goes with him maybe he will get money for him too at least we will save on the bacon butties! Zalukas is heading out and I have a feeling Austin will be sold too Lets hope the money is invested in the squad Guedeeti springs to mind straight away Hunt can make amends by quitting the club and going elsewhere
Morning Mike, how are things? Hope Austin is sold. Needs strength, keeping the ball and organisation at the heart of our midfield, not just surging run after surging run. Austin gives 100 percent, but not good enough.
Morning Boggers, Zeliukas was amazing for the first month, then awful, once awarded a two year contract
Morning Eire, I too am happy that we are shipping out the dead wood. Got a good feeling about today!!!
Morning all to the Leeds loonies. Elland is there something wrong with the site?.....there doesn't seem to be any green lights on the threads page.
£10m for ross is one thing 60, but anything other than BFH for Kenny and you're having a laugh. (Bus fare Home in cse you weren't sure)
Morning Matt and co I am feeling very well thank you my wife is suffering with her ruptured shoulder with the pain and cant't sleep such is the joys of old age!You OK
Morning All £10 million for Ross is too good to turn down especially at this level. You can buy a decent amount of players with that money. The sooner Kenny goes the better, we can get a decent replacement half of his age. As for Austin if he goes I won't miss him. If Hunt wants to make up for last season let him try and then we can flog him at Xmas along with Morison if we can't sell him to the Wallies over the summer. Will be interesting to see who comes in over the next few weeks. Hopefully there will be a good mix of British and Foreign players coming in.
Cameron Stewart has supposedly severed links with the club and is having a medical with Ipswich today http://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/25348/winger-stewart-undergoing-medical
Pity if true Wolves, but of no great surprise. Let's hope he doesn't come back to, (I was going to say bite us, but I'm sure that's a good use of words)
Dont worry Boggers, no chance of that. Stewart is useless. Right up there near the top of the list of crap we've had in recent years
Morning all I'm glad to see some deadwood shifting at last, and agree that we need to move Kenny on asap. If the £10m bid is true for Ross then gladly take it! We could use that cash for sure, I would have expected lower half premiership as a target for him, but as things stand Fulham obviously have a better shot at promotion than we do. On Austin I agree with Elland, he always gives his all but his basic game hasn't been good enough. The first season we all thought it was because he had essentially played without a summer break, but this last season has shown up the errors on a regular basis. I'll also be glad if we've managed to get out of the Stewart deal. BUT, we now need to see some quality coming in, we needed a few players before all of this and we certainly need more quality coming in now to give us the depth we haven't had for a while.
