Morning All, The Sun reports that Howson could be on his way to Carrow Road for 2 million! Question is, if the money was ploughed straight into the team, would you accept it? Personally, I'd be gutted to see another of our young starlets leave so early in his career, when he clearly has so much more to give us!!! Quite an interesting article here http://www.sabotagetimes.com/footba...ve-become-a-selling-club-and-no-ones-noticed/. Certainly worth a read. Be interesting to know whether you agree with it or not... As reported recently by Strachallister, we have been watching Esperance central-defender Banana Yaya with the idea of offering him a two to three year deal. It is understood we are banana split between the lengths of contract we should offer!!! Thoughts? Only Townsend made it into the team of the week (for last week). Which from the following would we want to take to ER.Luke Steele -Barnsley Kieran Trippier - Burnley Jason Shackell - Derby County Curtis Davies -Birmingham Daniel Fox -Southampton Cameron Stewart - Hull Morgan Schneiderlin - Southampton Daniel Drinkwater -Barnsley Andros Townsend - Leeds Andy Gray - Barnsley Marlon King - Birmingham Read more: http://www.leeds.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=269426#ixzz1jnYtpi4h Song of the day anyone?
Morning mate Dont think they will sign Howson as he wont go through a medical at the moment. So maybe they will turn his head & get him on a free soon! Lets hope not, but until we pay players at the very least the going rate we can get used to this.
?? Where did you hear this mate ?? Wouldnt suprise me, Bates will say it was another Beckford/Johnson/Killa situation. YEAH IT ****ING WAS BECAUSE YOU COULDNT RUN A ****ING PIE AND MASH SHOP
I have a feeling it will be a done deal for the start of next season. Here is what gets me down about it all - how are we ever going to build a promotion winning team? It takes time to build, you have to cast out the rubbish and build around the gems that are/were Lees, Clayton. Howson, Snodgrass, Gradel. We were half way there at the start of the season, two good signings now and we might have managed something however, a thing called contracts come around and we fail to hang on to players. At the moment I can't see us starting next season with either Howson or Clayton, then what does that spell to Lees, White and Snodgrass? Imagine we discover another young star in the making, 18 months on Bates refuses to give a better contract and they move on once again...
Morning all, I've said something similar on another site. If it did come to pass that Howson left for whatever fee (short of it being for silly money), it would so send out the wrong message about where we are heading, I think the fans will get very cross. Time will tell what actually happens. But if Howson goes to Norwich, even I will give up on trying to defend Papa Smurf.
thats exactly what ive been thinking, ive never been one to moan about bates but this is now a joke, he needs to go! Ive just cancelled the sponsorship of a game in March, Im not wasting my money on Leeds until he is out
Andrew Haigh's latest tweet on Delph McLeish on Delph: "We might think about letting him go out on loan. Simon Grayson tried to call me but I've not spoken to him yet." So he might not even be available for loan then.
Morning guys Well. This is thoroughly depressing news to start the day. Bates, you just lost the few pockets of sympathisers you have had over the last few months and I don't think the 'morons' are going to stay quiet over this one.
Morning Durham/Radeabeer/LeedsMOT and all thats joined We havent got a leader at all now! The arm band has to go to Snod now surely? Its going to be hard work to convince that dressing room on Saturday to go out and perform & we havent even got Kissa to shout at them!
I really don't know where the armband will go or where I think it should go to be honest. I know Clayton has a few fans who think of him as a future captain, but it is too early for that. Snoddy is probably our best player, yes, but the most suitable leader? We've seen him get moody / lazy when he has a bad game, so would that really be something that we want conveying to the rest of the team? Then again, give him the armband and his attitude would change anyway. I think it might go to Loners, though I'm not a big fan of goalkeepers as captains to be honest.
