That being said Sky have run a lot of bullshit about us recently and links to just about anyone. Hope this is another one they got wrong.

Leeds United are ready to offer Nile Ranger the chance to train with the club, Sky Sports understands.
The 23-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving Swindon Town at the end of last season, mainly due to disciplinary problems and off-field issues.
The former Newcastle United striker has been dogged by controversy throughout his career after making his professional debut five years ago.
But Sky sources have been told that Leeds head coach Dave Hockaday and his assistant Junior Lewis are ready to take a look a Ranger in the coming weeks with a view to possibly signing him.
Ranger, who is a former England youth international, scored seven times in 19 appearances for Swindon last season.
7 in 19 isnt even a good return in a lower league.
No doubt if we look at him for a few weeks he will manage to implode and screw his chances somehow.
Nile Ranger FFS.

I see we are live on Sky away to Rotherham, changed from the Sat to the Fri night 17 Oct 7.45.
McContract must be laughing his arse off if the Hock really thinks Ranger will replace his goals 
In 2007, at the age of 15, he was sentenced to 11 weeks in a Young Offenders Institute after being convicted of participating in street robbery in Muswell Hill, London.
On 27 August 2011 he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a man in Newcastle city centre, leaving the victim unconscious in the street, but was found not guilty of this in trial in October 2012.[25]
In October 2011 he was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Newcastle's Cathedral Square. The charge came only days after Ranger had been reinstated to Newcastle United's first-team training after a three-month exile in the club's reserves.[26] In March 2012 he was convicted of being drunk and disorderly and was given a six-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £135 costs.[27][better source needed] Prior to this, in May 2011 Ranger was questioned by Newcastle after posing with a replica gun in a photograph.[28][29] The gun was later handed in.[30][better source needed]
In March 2012, he was fined by The FA for making homophobic comments on social networking website Twitter.[31] Later in the month he was arrested once more, this time for breaching terms of his bail whilst awaiting trial on four assault charges.[27]
In the early hours of 23 September 2012, police were called to a house in Enfield, north London after reports of a disturbance. The front door of the property was badly damaged and Ranger was arrested at the scene and later charged with criminal damage.[32] The charge against Ranger was dropped in November 2012 after the court accepted his explanation that he had damaged the door after fearing his girlfriend was being kidnapped.[33]
On 25 January 2013, Ranger was arrested on suspicion of rape in a Newcastle hotel room.[34] In connection with the same alleged offence, Ranger was charged with rape on 8 July 2013.[35] On 4 March 2014 he was cleared of the charge at Newcastle Crown Court.[36]
On 14 March 2013, Ranger was charge with common assault after an incident in Newcastle city centre.[37]
In July 2013, Ranger once again hit the headlines after getting a tattoo of his own surname on his forehead.[38]
On 3 January 2014, Swindon Town chairman Lee Power confirmed in a press conference that the club would be meeting with Ranger and his management in the following days to confirm his sacking due to his disrespect shown towards the club through constant absence during training. Power said "I'm the chairman of the club and I've got to do what's best for the club. Unfortunately, what's best for the club is having to sit down with Nile and talk about parting ways. While this is ongoing Nile is not training with the squad."[39]
On 23 March 2014, Ranger was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a taxi in Liverpool.[40]
On 28 April 2014 Ranger was charged with criminal damage after an incident at a block of flats in Swindon on 13 April.[41]

Seems certain now that Giuseppe Bellusci won't join #lufc. Terms agreed with Catania but Leeds are unwilling to meet his wage demands.

I know we need to give everyone who pulls on a Leeds shirt a chance, the new keeper sounds promising but I must admit to not being too excited about the other signings, trial players or the majority with those being linked to us.Bigger rap list than goals scored ratio. Not good
So the guy's made a few mistakes, doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? i mean third errr fourth err.
That's some charge list, think we have enough of a circus without adding to it.
We need a marquee signing at least after letting Ross go
If the season started tomorrow I would be seriously worried I wont lie.
Shame, on paper looked the best of the defenders we were linked with... and the better players tend to have more options

I agree Bucks, I'm not going to read too much into our squad. I'm going to wait and see how we start the season. Maybe we could be surprised or maybe it'll all go tits up and the told you so supporters will have a field day..

Bit quiet on the transfer front today but Leeds are still working on Gaetano Berardi deal. Should be signing number five. #lufc
