Looks more and more like Buderus will be leaving (Eastwood made similar comments about it being out of his hands IIRC). Given some of the speculation on here DB's salary, Leeds should be able to sign at least two current Origin players to replace him http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/s ... _1_3593064

I don't know why people keep thinking we're going to sign somebody.

Have people not noticed that we keep resigning the current players that are supposedly leaving? Given that we seem to be sticking with a completely inept coach to save a bit of brass, what possible indication is there that we're about to sign anybody of any caliber?

So you don't think we will sign any more players for next year?

I've been told we are apparently announcing two new signings next Thursday (28th), where we will also be giving an update on the southstand build, and reflection on our successful licence renewal.

I have no idea who the signings are before anyone asks.

You and me both then.. regarding signings, didnt know about the SS update and Licence.

I'd expect 1 of them to be Griffin and i hope what i heard about our apparant interest in Ellis at Quinns is BS.

With McD, would it surprise you in the slightest?

Re: another one missed out on? : Tue Jul 19, 2011 3:54 pm  

I hope it's 2 different players in addition to Griffin.

I've not read anywhere where the Guants have announced he us leaving/free to talk to other clubs and iirc he's still under contract to them for 2012 so I cannot see us announcing Griffin unless the Giants come out before then and say he's been released early from his contract?

They've allowed HKR to announce Hodgson before the Sept anti-tampering deadline so i would'nt be surprised to hear Griffin confirmed.

I thought Hodgson was out of contract the end of this season though and Giants had already confirmed a week or so ago that he was not being retained? In those curcumstances clubs are allowed to announce SL signings before September

Re: another one missed out on? : Tue Jul 19, 2011 4:39 pm  

I like conspiracy theories so IF the announcement of 2 signings is next Thursday....how about Murphy & Johnson from Wakey on the basis of Wakey being evicted from SL next Tuesday???

On the otherhand......given how things have/are going recently....the 2 signings might end up being Bailey & Ali
