Leeds Rumours Mobile

Two bits of positive news doing the rounds today, Leeds are in talks with lassogo but refusing to pay anything near his ridiculous wages and Wood has been offered a 3 year extension, whether you want him to stay or not, this will put it all to bed finally, either he signs and stays or refuses and leeds cash in.

18 Aug 2017 14:51:39
Ok ol

18 Aug 2017 17:36:16
Definitely good management to start talking about new terms for Wood, puts the ball in his court!

18 Aug 2017 13:41:29
Notts Forest interested in signing Birdcage

18 Aug 2017 14:52:02
P l easeeeeeeee

18 Aug 2017 12:15:55
Sky sports reporting we have offered Woody a 3 year extension! Let's see what his response is !

18 Aug 2017 13:41:51
Apparently he is poised to 'snub' it.

18 Aug 2017 14:53:04
Get rid of the card! Let him f up somewhere else One f season wonder.

18 Aug 2017 14:56:00
Ye I guess he like anyone in that position will want and believe he is premier league quality! 🤔
Not keen on this German from Hamburg if he doubt leeds are right for him then I'm sure as hell he isn't right for leeds. We need proven quality that knows the division, not another unknown 5th choicer from Hamburg . TC I guess doesn't have too much faith in Ekuban or he would have been on against Preston and Fulham when both games were there for the taking! If Woody goes I realistically think we need 3 new forwards, douks is seemingly surplus to requirements as well!

18 Aug 2017 15:40:30
Agree. Except last sentence.

18 Aug 2017 15:45:16
Hmm that "snub" is a bit quick off the mark. Way too soon for news to leak. That's a journo guessing. Why leave it till now so late in the window to offer a contract anyway? Wait till end of window, show he's going no where, offer then. If he doesn't want to sign, he's there till january and if he's scoring still, the price we want will be paid If Bates was in charge is be much more cynical Number of players he sold right at the end of window with no time to replace them was staggering. Always with a " my hands are tied" plea.

i can understand selling wood for 20 plus. but i can not make sense of selling him now with nobody lined up. i want promotion this season and believe we have our best chance for a decade. this is the poorest championship for a long long time and we have every chance. i don't understand folk saying we should definitely take the cash for wood. why? lufc is not skint. why take away almost 50% of our goals from last season. who else will score even 10 plus. roofe? alioski? not a chance. it does not make sense to sell wood even at 20 miilion.

17 Aug 2017 23:46:34
Because once a player gets premier league interest in there head they start playing like absolute dog poo, which will mean we get less when we eventually do sell them.

17 Aug 2017 23:48:28
Clearly his head is turned already. I reckon between roofe, ekuban, Ali, etc., we will be fine. Can always invest in January if things aren't dropping our way. I don't see this side (without wood) in a relegation scrap. 18mil would be silly money to turn down, I reckon. Would gladly see us spend 5 or so on helander and 5 on someone like Bradshaw

18 Aug 2017 05:26:37
I Love Wood as I do with all the players on our team, But I honestly think last year was a one off for him. I would break Burnleys arm for 20m. This time last year we were talking about only bringing him on in the last 30 minutes as he was so slow. take the 20 I say. MOT

18 Aug 2017 09:00:25
I think with the Wood situation, it all depends! It depends on what the deals actually are in terms of cash now and future money, on how much Wood is really agitating to go and on what alternatives we already have on the table. Someone who really knows the answer to all of that then needs to make a judgement call, it becomes a business decision. Given the recruitment so far, I can't believe that they haven't thought about this as a possibility, therefore there should be a plan b, c, d etc. Or we have really decided that however much we get offered, how ever much Wood wants away, we are just going to say No. personally I think the latter is hard to believe so I hope we've got a good plan b, c and d!

18 Aug 2017 09:35:51
if wood does go. and it is silly money for a great return last season, he reminds me of when beckford scored for fun. but how many did he miss. If mcbadgekisser is linked i'd take him providing he takes a massive paycut to prove he wants to come back and play football, because he certainly does know where the back of the net is.

18 Aug 2017 11:13:43
January isn't the time to buy behave, over inflated prices as values know you are more desperate for the players. Some managers refuse to do any buissines in january.

18 Aug 2017 12:41:47
Fair point, Martyn, but I'm taking about if we were to get there and we're in free fall, crashing through the bottom of the league - which, I absolutely cannot see with our current crop. We snap up someone with a bit about them, I don't see how we won't score goals. We bought wood for 3. If we sell him for 18, we're +15mil. That's a pretty good place to be for Leeds and in this division. I think the above comment is right. If we get wee Ross back, he takes a decent pay cut, to prove his desire to wear the shirt again, and he only costs us 3-6mil, We're up 10mil on Wood, who I honestly don't ever see scoring 30 in a season again, or being valued anywhere close to 15m+. I think we missed a massive trick not trying to get Joe Garner. For 1mil, I think he'll be the signing of the summer for the division. Him or Mendez-Laing at Cardiff, who has started very well.

18 Aug 2017 14:53:42
Dont think u understand a lot cork.

18 Aug 2017 15:49:31
Please explain then Aus. You can wait until you are sober if you like.

17 Aug 2017 19:37:29
Liam Bridcutt rumoured to be wanted by Notts Forest!

17 Aug 2017 21:20:48
£15m no less Yeah I know . Tbh I think forest need him ( l live in Nottingham ) more than Leeds, but as they're likely to be in the mix come end of season, it's a no from me

17 Aug 2017 22:08:53
Good point but I think Forest will need another season to build on after that clown very nearly ruined them! We always get a hard game when we play them! MOT

17 Aug 2017 17:11:49
Despite recent reports stating Burnley bid £20m for Woody, it was actually only £15m. Sources close to Leeds advising if a £20m offer is received that WILL be enough to prise Woody away from ER

17 Aug 2017 18:51:21
If woods really wants to go I'd definitely take 20 million as long as none of it is spent on Ross from villa.

16 Aug 2017 15:40:56
Swansea get 45 million for sigursson now maybe a bidding war for Wood 25 million should be achievable

16 Aug 2017 16:17:11
Well if we can get 25 million for him then we should definitely sell. It's fascinating how as soon as premier league interest comes in the loyalty of once 'I'm very happy here' players goes out the window.

16 Aug 2017 19:09:13
20 would be fantastic, let's not kid ourselfs or get carried away he's never a 25 million player while I have a hole in my ar@!

16 Aug 2017 20:04:15
HES never a £20m one Martyn but Burnley would pay it!

16 Aug 2017 20:43:33
I'd take £15M, and if he doesn't score in the next two games I'd take £10M!

16 Aug 2017 20:56:06
Then if not in the 4 after that Danum, we will ship him out for free in January, right?

16 Aug 2017 21:45:59
We all know he's not 25 million player but premiership football teams are crazy sometimes and transfer deadline is closing in. Desperate times get desperate decisions

17 Aug 2017 07:18:17
Behave! If he doesn't score in the four after that I'd try him in goal!

17 Aug 2017 08:39:55
Players are like houses, they are worth how much someone is prepared to pay for them on a certain day! I'm sure the club must have anticipated this, have a price they are prepared to pay and some options for replacements. I'm surprised that the coach was so adamant about him unless he knows that we are definately not going to sell at 20/25/30/35 million?

17 Aug 2017 16:06:23
Bloody hell guys steady on, at this rate we will be paying them to take him

18 Aug 2017 09:30:58
You mean like Robbie Keane and Danny Mills?

15 Aug 2017 22:09:31
Just leaving the ground. Great game, could have gone either way we probably had slightly more chances. Great to have a coach who moves people around a bit. Interesting to see Hernandez and Saiz playing together and some really lovely touches together. Alioski, good game. We looked better in midfield, didn't lose control like we did against Preston in the first half. Shaunessy, had a good game again and made a couple of crucial interventions. Wood missed a couple of good opportunities. But three games no defeats and I think the boss is learning quickly. Thanks

16 Aug 2017 23:19:46
Exactly New coach
New players Still bedding in Think we're a class above last years team and much more depth It's a marathon not a sprint Another CB and a LB would be nice but if not, I think this group will crack on

15 Aug 2017 21:52:13
I could well be in the minority but i'm not unhappy with this so far. 5 points from 9 could be better but TC is still finding his feet and his best formation. We are unbeaten even though it's 4 points dropped. I would personally not be picking Hernandez, he can be brilliant but too inconsistent. I would put Anita in midfield for Phillips. 2 clean sheets on the trot is excellent despite the enforced changes in defense and while we are not playing particularly well every point is a positive. To get out of this division you need the 3 c's, consistency, consistency and consistency. Clean sheets is a good place to start.

16 Aug 2017 07:35:06
Isnt that 4 cs?

16 Aug 2017 13:23:04
or 6?

16 Aug 2017 19:42:18
Technically it could be 6 but then it could also be 7

15 Aug 2017 21:13:16
