Leeds Rumours Mobile

Going to make a prediction here, Monk to get sacked on Saturday. Beating Blackburn twice and Cardiff is not going to wash with Cellino. he knows we beat the 2 worst teams in the league at the moment and Ipswich were dog bother on Saturday.

28 Sep 2016 22:09:16
I think Cellino may have other things on his mind after having read the front page of tomorrow's Telegraph .

Leeds have made £5million worth of shares available on the 26/ 09 according to companies house. This may be to allow Radrizzani or another to take over, invest in the club or start Due Diligence, a way of MC injecting funds into the club or something to do with FFP. It is not clear at this point who the shares have been issued to.

A total of £24m worth of shares have now been issued.

Bamba training with Derby and possibly going to sign. Glad we haven't Pearson for a manager. However if he does sign knowing our track record he will probably score a hat trick against us. Only saving grace is that they will probably concede four.

27 Sep 2016 19:05:44
Not now probably, Pearson's been suspended.

28 Sep 2016 22:01:21
You talk like Bamba is a terrible free transfer lol he's a good cb and had more effort about him than cooper has got. If derby sign him they will be getting a player who ok maybe he's not too good now but on a free he's a quality player.

Chris Wood again we all have to rethink our opinions on our striker at this rate 20 goals plus no bother to this guy.

24 Sep 2016 16:10:40
I don't have to rethink my opinion Wex old boy. Have always had him down as a 20 goal a season striker and have defended him countless times this season. With 7 in 11 (so far at HT) , he is a certain starter in my opinion. Good sub? Are people on here real? The trouble is with a lot on here and I'm not having a go go overboard after one or two results. We lose and Monk should be sacked, Wood doesn't score and he should be a sub. On the flip side we win a couple and we're going up, Wood scores (again) and everyone loves him again. Said it countless times, we will have our ups and downs (it's written in the song) but judge the team and the man over a season!

Up the whites, down the pints!

MM.

100% agreed.

24 Sep 2016 19:05:39
Very accurate MM, I'm guilty of having posted, thought, and said every point you make above.

Got to try and stay grounded I will.

MOT.

24 Sep 2016 20:18:02
There are plenty out there that cannot see the Wood for the trees. Look in the mirror and then criticise.

24 Sep 2016 20:40:50
I don't think a lot of people understand that he is still a young striker and that he feeds off confidence MM. Once he scores a couple of times in a row he tends to go on and have a run of getting 5 or 6, sadly, as you said, he fails to score in one match then everyone jumps on him and his confidence plummets.

When he gets his tail up he has the ability to put in some very smart and powerful finishes (he nearly got one today but for the timely intervention of the post) , saw him hit more than a couple of screamers before joining us, its why we had to fend off so many clubs to get him.

Now, at 7 in 11, I would love to see just what he could do if people got behind him wholeheartedly for a change and tried to build him back up when he makes a mistake. We haven't seen him at his best yet, if we can get him there I honestly think he will fire us to a top six place this year.

Ps Also for all the people saying, well yes but he misses 5 for every 1 he scores, so what? used to take Beckford 10 attempts. As long as he produces 6 a game then he's golden.

25 Sep 2016 21:24:51
He really is a confidence player and it's growing each week need to get behind the team now so as not to break all what is going on . They are so beginning to gel . looking good.

25 Sep 2016 21:29:33
Perfectly said Mick and Gummie.
Many said Wood AND the Monk had to go TWO WEEKS back as they were both ineffectual in their roles.
They know who they are.

26 Sep 2016 14:16:29
Wow I'm really glad to see some positives put on here for a change wood is 24 years old like most he's still young and a lot of people put far to much pressure on players like him fact is when confident he will get 20 plus but getting on the lads back won't help him what so ever.
We go on about Macormack and players like that I remember when he struggled to get in a side till he came to us and he's got 6 years on wood.

I personally want wood to succeed and keep the doom and gloomers quite but then if it's not wood I'm sure it will be another player in a few weeks some people are just to quick to jump on players backs second a player has 1 bad game.

I went to the game Saturday it was really good and Ipswich aren't a bad side and we limited them to basically nothing we will have off games but if we play like we did Saturday we will be a good side.

23 Sep 2016 13:21:46
Big Frank going to Southport. If he returns as accomplished as Charlie Taylor following his loan at Fleetwood I for one would be very happy.

18 Sep 2016 11:41:40
Scott hogan people! Would suit lufc. Just the type of striker we need 😀.

18 Sep 2016 17:35:12
spoke about him about 6 months ago struggled to keep a regular place in squad then they started to play him and goal after goal, had leg break just before end of season .
I had read that Newcastle were in the mix, think he will be between 6-8mil .

18 Sep 2016 23:45:31
Has a good goal to game ratio but has missed a lot of football due to injury (over 2 seasons worth of games already at 24yrs, that's pretty worriying) . If he is going for around the £8m mark and we have the cash to spend then why wouldn't we go for Rhodes?

Middlesbrough have brought in Negredo, Rhodes can't get a game, pretty sure they would sell for £8m. Has scored 20+ in 3 of his 4 full seasons at this level.

Personally I would take Matej Vydra as a cheaper option. Did really well then hit a bit of a wall. Now he would be available for a steal which is pretty much what happened when we brought Rosco in from Cardiff.

19 Sep 2016 07:24:28
Vydra went to Derby for £8m.

19 Sep 2016 23:52:07
Fair point SG, knew he was at Derby but had it in my head it was only on loan, stupid brain lying to me.
Wow £8m, that's a ridiculous overspend on an out of form player, honestly thought he would be (and should be) valued around the £3-4m mark after a couple of sub standard seasons and might be worth a punt. Think Derby might live to regret that one.

12 Sep 2016 13:30:05
Nigel Reo Coker being watched by Leeds as badly needed midfield cover.

12 Sep 2016 17:14:48
If you're being sarcastic that is very funny.

13 Sep 2016 13:31:00
the first bit wasn't but the second bit was.

12 sep 2016 13:21:03
have heard that fl are doing final checks on new owners (meant to be andrea radrizanni and chinese or singapore investors) beayong purchased mp and silva sports media company - now they want to buy lufc from massimo - where mc will keep 16.68% shares (not a controlling amount/ minimum amount the fl will allow you to have without doing the usual checks (fit and proper) mc will be found guilty over the cagliari new stadium scandle for fraud/ misappropriation of funds, bribary/ corruption charges - main reason for selling up/ getting rid of gfh, who have a £17m debt owed to them by lufc, which is to be paid on the sale of lufc or promotion to the premiership - let's hope it happens sooner or later? mot.

14 Sep 2016 22:45:42
If Cellino sees a trainwreck ahead as regards Cagliari stadium of course he's going to take evading action featuring not getting it in the neck as regards fit and proper person test. Damage limitation time. Similarly, GFH will want their money back before the ordure hits the fan. More damage limitation otherwise why have they already done what they have done? I'm not saying rumour is true but it makes perfectly good sense .

10 Sep 2016 21:16:00
I heard a Rumour today that Cellino has bought GFH's 25% share.

10 Sep 2016 14:06:47
There are rumours galore flying around that z takeover had been done and is awaiting FL approval.

12 sep 2016 13:31:23
yes, very true
new owners awaiting final approval from fl
should be complete in next 10-15 days.
