    Hey Peeps,

    Here's a stat for you, Simon Grayson made 43 loan signings during his time at Elland Road..... Who was his most memorable?

    Aidan White captained the Republic of Ireland under 21 side as they recorded a famous 4-2 win against group winners Italy in their final European 2013 finals qualifying game. They also finished with 9 men.

    Sounds a silly question, but is the takeover on or off. If its officially off, should there not be an official statement?

    Lees came on for the England U21's for the last 13 mins.

    Lets hope we hear about a couple of loanee's today....

    Morning all. Struggling to remember one notable Grayson loanee. Too early in morning to tax my brain so hard.
    Takeover no more off than it was last week, I believe. Just still no progress.
    One positive I believe, is these new guys are obviously very keen or they would be long gone.
    A lot of time and money has been invested by them and I'm sure they know with the clubs poor finances, it's only a matter of time until they get it one way or the other. They've shown great patience so far, no reason why they should suddenly walk

    Morning all,

    Gradel has to be a good shout, though Naylor was a pretty decent signing too

    Good moaning to everyone.

    Well, what is it like in the land of no TENNIS CHAMPIONS?

    Our local boy done good early this morning and the celebrations have only just begun.......

    Brilliant tennis game and I'm proud of Andy Murray, the local boy who's grandfather played for Stirling Albion and who was one of the first to sign up for the Stirling Albion Supporters Trust.

    As for Leeds, same old ****e no doubt for the next few weeks.

    I only managed to watch up to the third set as I had to be in early this morning, but very happy for Murray. Can't believe he let Djokovic pin him back for 2 sets, but it seems the only way he knows how to win is with a bit of drama!

    Hope this is the start of a run of Grand Slam wins, he deserves it.

    Grayson signed Gradel on loan before we signed him perminantly. Probably was our best signing. Did Grayson sign Beckford and Snodds too?

    Morning all, agree with Max. The U21 CB Bennett was awful, Lees much better, and when he came on played as a DM sitting in front of back four to protect Bennett as Eng were being dominated. Murray may well struggle to win another slam, especially Wimbledon. Djokovic didn't look too interested or bothered, but he can be like that. Let's see.....

    Morning all - Life of a Leeds fan, one week we are hoping for news of a T/O, then a new signing now our excitement is limited and pinned on if we can bring a loan signing in or not :(

    Blackwell signed Beckford

    As for Grayson's loanee signings, other than Gradel, Adam Clayton would be up there with a shout I guess, and Eric Lichaj.

    Also Elland are you sure it was 43 loan signings, and not 43 signings both loan and permanent, up to the start of last season I can only count 26, and I'm sure we didnt have another 17 loanees last year :D
