I dont believe the season is over - i still feel we can get dragged into a relegation scrap under Bates and Warnock!!! Bates needs to hurry the **** up in selling to people with ambition and then they can get their own man in, hopefully a youngster with a bit of life in them i.e, Di Canio or...

Sol Campbell would surely sign for £10K a week after all thats 10K a week more than he's getting now!!! He would be playing on for the love of the game at his age and with his bank balance anyhow, not for the money so if it does become about money we dont want him as his heart would not be in it.

If someone offers 5m today he will go simple as that. That would leave us shy of our two best players with no time to replace them. At least relegation dogfights are exiting eh????!!!

The emergence on Nunez means two things - Bates will accept any ffers over 3m for Gradel and anything around 5m for snodgrass and secondly whoever does go out of the two thn I will feel a bit better knwing we have a flair player like nunez and a regenerated Sam to have a good go at replacing...

West Ham will murder us if we defend like we did against the Saints. Saying that nobody gave Cardiff and chance and they got lucky so we can only hope. I would take a point right now but fear 3-1 West ham. Lets hope im wrong.

Living in Swansea I have seen a lot of them over the last few years and Craig Beattie apart from one wonder goal last season has been garbage. I suggest anyone who thinks otherwise should go over to the Swansea Boards now and politely ask their opinion. We should be looking at players like...

Is it far fetched to sugest playing three at the back? Bromby, Kissa and O Dea with White/Conns/Lees as Wing Backs with Clayton and Howson in the middle, Gradel and Snoddy wide and McCormack/Nunez up front until Beccio is fit or heaven forbid we sign another striker on loan!!!

OK fair point on Samuel, it does seem worrying though that players like Keith Andrews are turning us down and are now on the verge of signing for Ipswitch......

I have just read that Isiah Osbourne (Who was on trial with us in pre-season) has signed for Hibs. I wonder what has happened to J Lloyd Samuel. Surely he is better than Connely? If so why hasnt he signed or will as I suspect he end up elsewhere shortly. As for Forest signing Derbyshire...

We should be playing the following tea, against Middlesborough on the Weekend: Lonergan O Dea(would prefer to see a fit A White at left back though), Kissa, Lees, Connolly (although we need better before the window closes for this position) Clayton Howson Gradel, Nunez, Snoddy Paynter...

I wont jump on the bandwagon and push the panic button after just one game - we lost at home on the opening game to Derby last year and still finished 7th. However................we were woefull yesterday and Grayson has to make sure a "rot" does not set in. We have to start by thumping...

I hope im wrong but 2 of the "premier league players" could quite feasibly be Osbourne and J-Lloyd Samuel. Osbourne - I dont know enough about to pass comment but i saw Samuel several times whilst he was on loan at Cardiff last season and to see he was poor would be an understatement. With...

Yeah so will Bessone and others coming back from loan who have yet to be sold although their names escape me!!! We have to make sure everyone gets games but I think we will start against the Saint with something like: Stockdale Connolly Kissa OBrien New Left Back Brown New CM (Smudge?)...

I think the lack of "guesses" to who we will sign next month speaks volumes regarding the lack of rumours and the like surrounding Leeds. I do think next year should be all about blooding youngsters and starting to plan for the long term return to the Premier League. I think we will all...

So the window opens officially this friday. For some it will be welcomed as a time for exiting deals that were being done behind closed doors to be announced (Smith?, woodgate? bowyer?) For others it will mean the end to the excuse "we cant do business until July, thats why we havent been...
