    lol nah i was talking about mccormack and nunez, all im saying is you cannot keep a winger at the club that wants to leave because you dont have enough strikers at the club. I dont rate him anywhere near as highly as the next man, i think he is clumsy, often makes wrong decisions, often gets caught in possession cheaply, regardless of what people say he doesnt defend as well as she be able to, dont get me wrong he works hard (which is why i think people think he can defend, just because you work back doesnt mean you can defend) and then all of a sudden out of nowhere he scores but i think he compromises the whole team

    He is an attacking winger who can play up front so what if he can't defend, the Leeds defence can't defend either. If Grayson wishes to play 4-4-2 then mccormack will be starting anyway, alongside paynter which is a worry.

    yea i agree but im saying that you cant keep a winger because you dont have enough strikers, i truly believe cashing in on him would be one of the best decisions possible at this point in time regardless of if grayson says gradel isnt unsettled or whatever

    It is sad to hear all these "rumours" about our club. But they are rumours and newspapers are out to make money.
    Gradel is in the same boat. He knows he has a year to go...knows other clubs want him. Loyalty cames second when its his livelihood and his agent needs his "cut" Its pointless (no pun) to keep him if he wants away, lets get the cash and get someone else in who wants to be with the club.

    Unrest in the dressing room is the last thing we need now and so all we can ever ask for is a squad that wants to achieve the best for the club. Over to the mangement .......? <wah>

    I am saying we can't sell him because we can barely make a starting squad of 15 come the opening day of the season. I am saying that if things need a shake-up with 20 minutes to go and we have no strikers on the bench at least Paynter could be subbed, Gradel moved to the front line and A-Nother midfielder could come on. Gradel gives us options that we are not going to have if we start the first 5-6 matches with no Bechio and no Somma.

    Really what f*****g point is it selling him, what do you hope will happen with the money??? The same as what happened with the Delph and Kasper money, it goes into Bates bank account, Grayson doesn't get it back for players...

    it is clear now what the intention is. None of the Schmeichel transfer fee has gone anywhere useful. What on earth is wrong with Bates?

    Well according to Graysons latest interview, he claims that there's been no transfer request from Max or anything said by him saying that he wants to leave. But that's what you'd expect him to say I suppose.

    I won't believe it unless the club comes out and announces something on the official site. I certainly won't believe ****e from the papers.

    You're right Josh. He wouldn't say anything bad, the same way he can't slate Bates for lack of funding. Anyway I hope we're all proved wrong and Max stays.

    i wouldnt be against max staying by any means but i do think if we get 5m for him we should let him go especially as he still hasnt signed a contract regardless of grayson saying he seems fine to stay

    http://www.sportsvibe.co.uk/news/football/leeds-5m-winger-linked-with-premier-league-move-9483/?

    Apparently he has been rated at 5m and i think if we do get a bidding war happening betwen the clubs involved, we should sell him. This is ofcourse if the money goes back into the team which isnt guaranteed but i can see certainly a percentage going back at least
