    Good Morning Everyone,

    With the transfer window slamming shut tomorrow at 6pm, it seems more than likely that at least one signing will be made.

    Jordan Botaka is a 6ft, 22 year old winger from the Congo.

    Word has it, he likes :

    Due to his family routes, he is also eligible to play for Holland, and has been capped by the Dutch three times at u19 level.

    The two clubs have reached an agreement on price, and Botaka is at Elland Road today to complete a medical.




    Another player with Dutch links that Leeds are after is Wolves Rajiv van La Parra. He is 24, and can play either as a winger or striker.

    According to Wiki, he is already a Leeds player.

    Morning and I think we do need some ammo, so another flanker with skill and anyone who can be creative only goes to help the cause. Chuffed with Saturday's result and we played well especially in the first half. Plenty of time on the ball and attempts at goal. Going to give Uwe a break for a week and get off his back. Big Sam and Nolan are still waiting in the wings though

    Morning all, great three points and was vital we never lost. Now the feeling switches to unbeaten rather than no wins and it takes the pressure off Rosler.

    We need some extra quality, no idea what these two will or can bring to the table, Byram hasn't been bringing anything to it so they surely can't be worse.

    I like Berardi at RB with Byrams contract up soon have we missed the boat in cashing in on him?

    One thing that has impressed me with Rosler, he has made tactical substitutions at the right time.

    Good morning Matt and co from a very wet Bardsey last night was an extremely red sunset so its doesn't like my forecast always come true
    What I have never wavered in his my belief that we needed a young squad with wingers well I have got what I wantedand it maybe that there could be an even better winger coming in the form of Will Buckley .Yes it's on again but I think it could be a loan possibly with Sunderland footing some part of the bill but I think there could be a catch they want a cheaper Byram I have written about this earlier
    Sat result show us some new things
    1We can defend a late lead at last
    Wood although he misses some can score some really good goals I for one would not be surprised to see him score more than 20
    Adeyemi needs to be bought now what a player he will be
    Taylor give him a ten year contract I said before the season he will be this seasons star turn well it will be a fight with Cook who is amazing for one so young a 10 year contract for him too
    Silvestri please note made some really good saves and kept us in the game when we were under the cosh so take a bow young man
    Dallas works better on the right and can cross a ball
    Bamba is a tower of strength
    Cooper recovered from his howler
    Beradi is the best RB we have and is improving each week
    Mowatt has gone backwards his crossing and play at set pieces is abysmal
    I really believe we have turned the corner and things are looking up my 33-1 looks good

    And yet you started a new thread quoting the Buckley rumour why?
    Not one word of your post is new....

    Morning ristac, if Byram were to want to sign another contract with us, would you?

    If we can get more than the £2 mill he would be worth at the top of his game we should sell. If we could get £4mill we should throw mowatt and Bellusci into the deal as a freebie.

    Morning Mike, personally, I don't see Buckley coming. We have Dallas, and we'll have Botanka (or whatever his name is). Buckley would stretch our resources, and it would only work if Sunderland do a swap, give us 8m, and Buckley for free as his wages are huge.

    With Adeyami, the papers must already have been drawn up. 100% we have an option to buy him at 1m. Cardiff must be kicking themselves.

    Big question, what would happen if Bamba got injured?

    We need another decent centre back

    Ant is our most influential forward we would be mad to get rid of him... It must be nailed on. <doh>
    Bearing in mind we played for a year with none how many wingers does a club actually need.

    The point being why post the same thing in two threads...
    I know it's difficult for you to count to two but you should try.

    We are making up for it.

    It's like a bus. You wait for one for half an hour, then 6 come along at once
