All I can say is thank got that season is over and roll on August.
So I wonder was Becks setting out his stall for a possible return ?

Of course, roll on August also means a 1st Round Carling Cup tie thanks to todays' loss:-(

I'd say there isn't a hope of beckford or gradel coming back.
can you really imagine bates spending money on a player he let go for free or one he sold for half nothing?

Thank god that shambles of a season is over.

Roll on a big clear out.

Have not wrote much here since simon grayson got the chop, have also not renewed my international membership and wont be buying any merchandise filling bates pockets.

The quality players we have left leave the club in the last couple of years is sinful and we just keep replacing with either journeymen or youth team players, luckily the younger players have stepped up but we need major changes to move forward.

Warnock seems to have been promised the backing but we all know the way Ken Bates works at this stage. We have been looking at free transfers already which shows you exactly what our transfer policy is.

Im out

Ah sure, all part of being a Leeds fan I'm afraid; I'll hang in there, ever hopeful!

Jason Pearce is a very good first signing(apparently a done deal), the lad has been POTY the last two seasons with his respective clubs and has the leadership qualities vital for defence. He was the Captain of a Pompey side who boast a lot of seasoned players, so to get the armband in that team is a great acheivement for a lad his age. You can also be sure there was a lot of competition for him.

I know people talk about their hate of freebies but just having a think there, we could actually create the remaining of the backline with freebies and have a good defence. Now obviously we might be retaining some of our current squad for the first team but this is just an example of the value out there,

-------------Lewis-------------
-McCleary--Pearce--Hall--Hill-

Lewis - Been released by P'Boro today, Warnock was looking at him when he was QPR boss

McCleary - Warnock said he wants pace and he's seen first hand what this lad did to us at Elland Rd

Pearce - Apparently done deal

Hall - 6ft4" knows Warnock, has plenty of experience in the league

Hill - Also knows Warnock, and has been linked

These are just some players I know won't command a transfer fee, obviously still wages to be paid, and of course there's a chance some of the current crop will retain their place.

I see Richard Keogh has won POTY again at Coventry this season, another young CD, which we could get at a good price considering Coventry's position.


In midfield, Darren Ambrose has only a year left on his Palace contract I think and is another player Warnock knows well. Would add experience in the spine of the team and has goals in his game. I mention him as I believe Warnock was linked with him at QPR.

I'd say I've as many players in my head as Warnock so I may go asleep before I write a scouting report.

Listening to what Warnock had to say on Diouf, I think this one is as good as done.

It was hard enough adjusting to the idea of warnock becoming our manager and now this muppet.
I know in the long run they may help us, but it really feels like selling our soul at the crossroads.

Today should give a good indication of how many players we'll be bringing in.

Sky Sports understands Leeds midfielder Adam Clayton has been placed on the transfer list. #LUFC

Webber and Taylor also leaving, Webber said so on Twitter and Taylor to Millwall.
