    I am so disillusioned with all the **** going around and wondering who is telling the truth at the monent and watching valuable days pass and nobody coming through the door but plenty lining up at the exit. Players nearing contract ends and knowing deep down we are probably going to lose them like White and then seeing players like Rogers (work permit pending) coming in and wondering where he is going to slot in with Townsend and Snodgrass.

    I can't see rogers making an impact this season, maybe go out on loan to learn the english football and "Man Up" a bit

    I wondered that, out on loan and replace Townsend when he returns. He is never going to have a long future with us, I can see his love of himself and Bates getting on great IF he performs well and it comes around to contract renewal.

    Rogers isn't quite a done deal yet, but maybe Snoddy will get the free role behind a lone striker with Townsend & Sam/Rogers. Either way, SG appears to be working on solving one of our problems (who else apart from Snoddy will set up the chances for others to finish off?). Maybe with Bruce apparently back in favour, AND, based on his last two performances, doing the business, our CB problems may have resolved themselves until the main TW in the summer when SG can have a proper look at the situation.

    Heyho, onto Palace & what could be a difficult game. I'll start the bidding at a 1-1 draw with us at least creating plenty of chances. Your go.

    Boggers can you really see Grayson ever sorting out the Defensive problem?

    Hes had 3 Transfer windows and signed **** CB its just fortunate for him that Tom Lees came through at the right time,

    Ristac I agree regarding Rogers seems like he is more bothered abou his clothing line and partying than he is his "Soccer" if his website is anything to go by

    From the linked article:

    Funny that Ken, scrap August for "the length of his tenure", and he pretty much just described himself. Fed up of all the smoke and mirrors, hardly worth even considering transfer rumours / stories until they show up on the original site anymore, just don't know what is being invented to con us into thinking there is ambition there in the market.

    Regardless of puncheon (who i really dont see a need for in the leeds team nor do i think he is good enough or have the right attitude) we have signed a few players now rather early in the transfer market and we are at least looking at SSL who i think would be a great signing. We must be one of the most successful clubs in the championship so far in the january TW, doubt that'll continue though

    I actually believe Bates on this one. Nobody else notice he never actually referred to Puncheon by name? Yet Puncheon's gone off on one about it.

    What caused him to go off then? Because Bates never mentioned him by name.

    Every news outlet and people on twitter, the same as us, unless you and I were listening to Yorkshire Radio we would not have been aware. Either way, I don't know what the truth is, I can't say I honestly believe one or the other. I know Bates is full of bull **** and gobbing out lies comes natural to him, "doesn't know who the owner of Leeds is remember that one".

    Yes I dislike Bates because through my eyes he is harming our chances of going forward, he is holding us back and he is lining his pockets, the math do not add up, we should have far more money available to invest in players and wages and I am fed-up having to look up forgotten and unknown players and seeing cast offs who nobody else wants coming into Elland Road.
