bring on the sewer rat

mcfadden would be a good signing.


hopefully gone are the days of hoping some outcast trialist impresses during the preseason and wins a contract.

if somma's able to get back to near full strength he is a serviceable guy to have in the squad.

Agreed. I hope Warnock sells off a lot of Grayson's drift wood and we get some quality back at Elland Road. In looking at all of the rumors, I still don't see many defensive players being linked with Leeds as of yet. I hope that will change in the coming weeks. Our backline is severely lacking.

Should be an exciting summer.

started supporting them a long time ago and haven't stopped. same thing for goose and RR i think.


Thanks, S
I saw the 1972 FA Cup final on Wide World of Sports vs Arsenal and have been a fan ever since. The Leeds teams from the 60's to mid 70's were probably the greatest teams in English soccer History. I guess i'm just too loyal, but I'm not changing. Screw ManU and the rest of them.
I have faith in Warnock and glad he got the job. He has promoted teams 7 times and he relishes the challenge and understands what it means to represent Leeds. I hope Bates lets him spend some money or it will probably be another averege year. Losing Johnson, Kilkenny, Gradel, and Howson without really bringing nobody else in except loan players is what made this year very disappointing.

They're pretty amateur-ish.

But I want to love them because you love Leeds, S. But I can't, because they're Leeds.

Today's Leeds United Rumors:

Warnock scouted (2) scottish league players. Dundee's Johnny Russell and Hearts' David Templeton.

Leeds United are being linked with a move for Teemu Tanio former Spur and current New York Red Bull Mid/RB.

Leeds United are keen on Defender Aaron Mokoena of Pompey.

Ipswich's Manager Jewell has confirmed that his club has missed out on Jason Pearce (ex Pompey Defender) who looks to be set to join Leeds United.

Warnock allegedly targeting Midfielder Dean Marney of Burnley.

Leeds United place six on transfer list and release five more

Leeds United boss Neil Warnock has begun shaping his squad for next season by transfer listing six players and releasing five others.

Midfielder Adam Clayton, who made 46 appearances this season, is the most notable of those listed.

He is joined by Ramon Nunez, Billy Paynter, Paul Connolly, Andy O'Brien and Paul Rachubka.

The club have released Alex Bruce, Lloyd Sam, Mikael Forsell, Danny Webber and Maik Taylor.

Adam Clayton


must be by request because he allegedly had a contract offer on the table. Pretty surprising.

Michael Brown got a reduced one year deal as well.

Current Squad:

Alex Cairns GK
Andrew Lonergan GK
Patrick Kisnorbo DEF
Tom Lees DEF
Charlie Taylor DEF
Leigh Bromby DEF
Lewis Turner DEF
Danny Pugh MF/DEF
Michael Brown MF
Robbie Rogers MF
Zac Thompson MF
Aiden White MF
Robert Snodgrass MF/FW
Luciano Becchio FW
Davide Somma FW
Ross McCormack FW

Plus the 5 Transfer Listed is 21 players

Bates has told Warnock he wants to squad at 23 players so if Warnock can move the 5 transfer listed, that leaves 7 spots for players to be brought in.

I think the two glaring problems we have is Defense and Midfield so I hope those are addressed this off season. Excitement ON!
