Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday are among a host of clubs all vying for the signature of Huddersfield Town striker Joe Lolley, according to FLW sources.
This could be a really interesting deadline day tomorrow by my counting we're in for... Martyn Woolsford Joe Lolly Fraiser Campbell Edgar Cani Ben Pringle and I wouldn't be suprised if we get Stuart Taylor replacement and a LB as well
And I personally am not that bothered by the prospect of Cani. Does not seem prolific enough and lets be honest that is the major downfall to the way Morison has been playing of late. Woolford I have never seen play but at least he is a wide man which we lack
To be honest it's the January Transfer Window where the strange signings happen and the one that come out of nowhere happen. Woolsford and Cani and dead certs in my opinion but I wouldn't be surprised to see more. I'd put my bets on there being two strikers coming tomorrow. You've got to remember we sold Smith to make room for Pavoretti and Hunt's place is now spare
I genuinely cannot see how we can justify buying one more striker let alone 2. We are playing with 1 striker in the matchday team and we have 4 who lets be honest all would expect to be starting in a team at our level. If we add 2 or even 1 to that without getting rid of one of them, our team becomes bloated once again, too many options for the manager and we go on with the circus of trying to find our best team yet again.
Agreed but Cani has been floating around for the last 2 weeks or so and it looks like a dead cert he will sign tomoz. We're still being linked with Strikers that what makes me think we're getting 2. I think there will be a major squad trim in the summer. The squad is too big with 35 senior players. Most likely we'll see the likes of Byram, Cook and Mowatt leave in the summer. I'd expect us to sell morison in the summer as well. If we're signing wingers we might be going on to a 442
I disagree. I doubt we'll see Byram, Cook or Mowatt leave and if we do it'll be because the player wants to leave. I know people don't have a lot of faith in Cellino (and I'm not by any means saying I do) but he just won't be selling these players imo. And imo. again wingers work a lot better in a 451 formation like we saw with Grayson's use of Gradel and Snoddy.
This is where we're going to but heads. If Prem teams are sniffing around and offering decent money, I think Celino will see pound signs and sell them. I think it will take oe decent bid and they'll have their bags packed for them and pushed out the door then we'll Del Whomever walk in to the club.
Again disagree I think he's shown players the door and then given a royal slagging off. I don't believe a single word that comes out of Celino's mouth. If he told me the sky was blue I'd still look up to check
We are now being linked with taking Rodolph Austin on loan with a view to a permanent! What is it about us and Leeds these days!
Why would we do that ? we just turned down over 1/2 a million from Wigan and then give him to Ipswich,can't see it.
Maybe Austin turned down Wigan or maybe we didn't want to sell to someone to close to us in the standings?
I wouldn't mind, Austin i think is backwards in our progression. Dunno why Ipswich want all our fringe players (although Austin probably wouldn't count as that but we have better in the position I think).
Here we go. More takeover consortia. Apparently. Note how the 'news' takes 5 lines, and the padding of 'events passed' takes a further 11 lines. Morons. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/fo...VE-Rival-Far-East-consortiums-TALKS-buy-Leeds EXCLUSIVE: Rival Far East consortiums IN TALKS to buy Leeds RIVAL consortiums from the Far East are locked in a battle to buy Leeds. Starsport can reveal the separate groups of bidders have opened talks with Leeds owner Massimo Cellino about taking control at Elland Road. The news will stun fans and cast more doubt on the immediate future of the troubled Championship outfit. Controversial Italian Cellino has maintained that he has no plans to sell the club. But earlier this season he held provisional talks with Formula One giants Red Bull and now negotiations have taken place with two more multi-millionaire consortiums from China and Malaysia. It is understood the Malaysian consortium have strong links to Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan. Cellino bought Leeds for around £28m just over 12 months ago but has endured a troubled reign. He has sacked three managers and made more than 100 staff redundant to leave fans split on whether he is good for the club or not. To make matters worse he was left stunned earlier this season after being disqualified from owning Leeds by the Football League for tax evasion. His ban has just been lifted and he was allowed to attend Leeds' final league game of the season at home to Rotherham last weekend. But his battle with League bosses has taken its toll and he could face further punishment due to fact he is facing further investigations into his tax affairs back in his homeland. During his time on the sidelines he has seen the fallen giants rocked by a series of controversies that have heaped shame and embarrassment on the club, while large sections of supporters have turned against him. Several high-profile figures on the board have either walked out or being sacked, while boss Neil Redfearn saw his trusted No.2 Steve Thompson suspended without proper explanation. Last month six of his first team stars refused to travel to Charlton after claiming they were injured on the eve of the game. Redfearn's own future is now in limbo after his contract expired on Friday and he is now considering his next move. He would like to remain in charge at Elland Road but has no idea if Cellino still wants him as boss and will wait to see if the Italian businessman decides to sell his stake in the club and hand it over to someone else. But Redfearn will not be short of managerial offers this summer and is a target of a host of clubs, including Huddersfield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Peterborough. The uncertainty surrounding his position has alerted these four clubs, who have been impressed with the job he's done in difficult circumstances.
