    Formalities of Bellusci deal are still to be completed so let's see where it goes. But looking promising at the moment.

    My limited research led me to believe that bellusci would be one of our better signings when we were allegedly close to signing him a month or so ago. Fingers crossed.

    Can someone update on who Bellusci is or was. Saw name bandied about and to be honest couldn't remember did we sign him. Anyway, whats his pedigree and where did the deal disappear to for a few weeks?

    If we don't manage to sign him by tomorrow kickoff, we should kidnap him so he can't watch us playing before he puts pen to paper.

    Young Italian CB. Nicknamed the warrior I think. Has potential and is the kind of player we should be looking for.

    If I read it correctly, 6 years in Series A. Move broke first time around due to wage demands.

    Rumoured to have fallen through previously due to his financial demands and rumoured interest elsewhere... Draw whatever conclusion you will from that!

    Lees is off the wage bill now, maybe that's helped?

    Looks a decent signing, not as good on paper as Sorenson but reports say he was our first choice earlier and it fell through due to wage demands that have been sorted.

    So he will arrive to sign tomorrow, stay to watch us play against Accrington go back home with Cellino saying he is now a Leeds player and the following day we will hear from his agent that paperwork has not arrived <ok>

    Very good player but a complete nutcase and a liability

    2012/13 29 games (8 of which as a sub) 15 yellow cards - suspended for 5 games
    2013/14 20 games (7 of which as a sub) 7 yellow cards and 2 red cards


    Played 148 games in total - 42 yellow cards and 5 red cards

    From our perspective the smell of success is FRESH and SWEET

    however I can well understand that from your perspective and the fact that your last success was sooooo long ago that ...

    that sweetness would indeed have turned rancid by now <whistle>

    Whilst you were there (perving over southerners doing their ablutions) I was at The Den and noticed a few hundred northerners who had paid £30 to watch their pub/coffee shop side, crying like big babbies <whistle>

    you should have come to The Den, Chesh........the pitch was like a lake at the end of the match

    Allegedly the new CB deal is done. So that's Wooten having some serious competition for his place. All grist to the mill.

    LOL it gets you that way, I am no longer believing any news on new signings even if Cellino tells us it is true, until I see them with a Leeds shirt on and name on the team sheet <ok>

    So was Viviani and Sorenson <ok>
