    Good Morning Everyone,

    It has been revealed that Cellino blocked a move for Rosler to sign Adam Drury on a one year loan.

    The Ex Citeh youngster is a right back with an incredible amount of pace.

    Thoughts?


    It has been revealed that Nicky Ajose, Steve Morison and Billy Sharp all all surplace to requirements at Elland Road, and if sensible offers come in, they will be on their way.


    Leeds are at their training camp in Austria. Their first game will be against Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday night.


    Rosler has revealed that he is still looking to sign a left winger. This will conclude Leeds transfer dealings ready for the start of the season.

    Morning Elland and all. Surely there is a contradiction there. Rosler says a left winger will conclude our transfer activity but yet wanted to sign Drury? Sounds to me like Drury might have been a luxury we cant afford. Still, if we get a winger, thatll be seven signings and still have our young players from last season. If the new lads work out, thats not a bad summers work whoever was responsible for it, Cellino, Pearson, Bates or Father Xmas

    Morning Eire,

    I see them as being sensible signings, gutted we have not made at least one big signing.

    Yaou'd like to think the youngsters are a little bit stronger, and better than they were last season. That being the case, we should have one of the strongest midfields in the division.

    Morning Elland & the "Irish Recliner" I would be much happer knowing we had offloaded Ajose, Morison and Sharp as we should get cash, as will as payments from Delph and even Gradel if he comes over here. I think if our new players don't make the grade Cellino/Pearson will have a couple of million available to spend at Xmas.

    Lets hope Erwin & Wood especially can do the business, and I do like the new box to box midfielder so lets hope

    In our midfield we have Cook, Mowatt, Byram and Murphy.

    Are there many teams in the division that would not sign any of these players if they could?

    In depth, we have that young lad from Cardiff, Bianci, Dawson, Sloth and Phillips.

    If we can sign a very good left winger, surely I cannot think of many that have that kind of strength in depth?

    Morning Doc, thee will be no payment for Delph.

    15% would have been triggered for any fee over 8m.

    Villa have screwed us over.

    Morning doc <laugh> we may have to wait till near end of transfer window to shift sharp and morrisson if we manage it at all. They're on big wages relative to most teams below us and realistically they're the only clubs likely to show any interest. We might have to bite the bullet and let them see out their contracts

    Delph: no sell-on for Leeds because 15% clause was only on anything over £8m. But club will seemingly get solidarity payment of circa £400k

    Gradel is one to watch. Leeds get a percentage (prob. 10%) of anything over £2m. Valued at £7m, Bournemouth and Watford interested.

    Morning ristac, it is a weird one. He would not have cost us a lot, and had real pace...

    Morning all!

    Just returned from 10 night in Croatia, back at work and depressed is an understatement lol

    Drury block is an odd one! Would have been good squad player by sounds of things. Left winger is a must now AND needs to be very good player...

    Morning Double D's

    Also nice to see majority of signings have been concluded, not left to the last minute.

    Hope you had a good time in Croatia.

    I was at the York game and Edwin played wide left and was replaced by Drury early in the second half and they both good very good there. So maybe Drury WAS rossler's solution to the left winger situation but can't think why Cellino said no.

    I still can't think why we aren't after a left BACK. We've got quite a big squad yet only one left back. Unless Berardi and Cooper are the square pegs to be used if needs be.

    Morning all!

    Morning all <ok>

    Maybe we have decided to keep Byram adding cover to the RB slot? Who knows. Second guessing that mad man is impossible!

    I thought Drury was a right back?

    Also thought Beradi's natural position was a right back?

    Good morning to Matt and co from a slightly sunny Bardsey
    I still think we will offload
    Byram if we get £8m
    Wooton
    Sharp
    Morrison
    Doukara
    Ajose
    Bianchiand possibly Beluschi
    I think we still need
    Dakirwa
    Jamie Murphy or someone similar Aylite?
    Drury would have been in the right age bracket
    Hay did say we would receive 400k from Villa and a larger sum from Gradel

    Morning one and all.

    I am confused (not unusual) with the speculation about ins and outs. Rosler is the man to decide what's needed and MC is the man who has the money. I think it looks like Rosler has been told that there will be no more signings until we offload. So Mike with this list might be near the mark. When I heard Le Fondre was likely to be on the move I thought that he could be useful at this level, but we don't need a striker !!

    Most of comments seem to indicate the need for a left winger. Any good ones available these days as we approach start of the season.?
    If so, can we afford one ? Answers on a postcard as they say.
