    Its very rare for any promoted team to get over 100 goals

    It's rarer still for sniffer to post something that is credible.

    A defensive midfielder to stop opposition slicing through us would help the defence no end. Plus we have Bamba from the start and I though he made us look much more organised when playing.

    We do look more organised with Bamba playing - right up until HE goes AWOL! He has an awful habit of shooting upfield when it's not advisable.

    Been linked with "Brazilian speedy left winger" from Catania, Raphael Martinho. As in another wiki name.

    He's 27 years old, apparently incredibly quick and can operate as a wing back also.

    And we should beat Huddersfield to the signature of Tom Adeyemi, he's set to sign a season long loan deal tomorrow with the option of a permanent signing at the end of the deal.

    Really don't know much about this lad but I'd assume we won't be signing another midfielder after him. Every leeds fan on twitter is jizzing in their pants over this signing though.

    Might be doing him an injustice but is he much better than Sloth, Cook, Murphy, Mowatt, Dawson or any of the other central midfield players we have? The writing really is on the wall regarding us signing a winger...

    I have absolutely no idea, can't imagine he would be but you never know. Problem is he doesn't seem like the type of CM we need at the club given how many others we have here. We need someone a bit different, experienced, has good aggression. Again though I am assuming and don't really know much about him.

    If we do not sign a winger (preferably 3) before end of window I've already given up on the Rosler/Cellino combination. No good team doesn't play expansive football with quality wingers.

    I think we will be signing wingers.

    I believe there is interest in Italy for Bianchi and Murphy is signing a new deal so it could be a way of getting more money for him

    Didn't Bianchi turn down an opportunity already to go back to Italy?? I'm sure I read this a few weeks ago that we had allowed him to talk to some Serie B side and he didn't want to go anywhere

    I think he did turn down a move to ONE Italian club but another one or two might come for him from now till Sept 1

    But I thought he turned it down as he wanted to stay at Leeds, nothign to do with the other club. Which gives me the impression that he is not interested in the slightest in going back to Italy.

    I for one hope he doesn't go. I recall the same as Josh - he committed himself to our cause. 10/10 to him for that. Wish a lot of others indicated that much commitment. He also seemed to be coming back to his best at the Harrogate game (although tired like everyone else apart form Byram). On his game, he's another Gary McAllister.

    leeds will need to score about 95 goals and about 48 goals against to get promotion watford got 91 goals last season and had 50 goals against . makes our 50 goals last season look pathetic

    we're interested in Togo international winger Floyd Ayite from Ligue 1 side SC Bastia according to Football League World.

    The 26-year old is known for his demon pace and ability to come inside and score goals, having scored nine goals and creating three assists in 33 appearances for Bastia last season.
