Whilst I'm inclined to agree rumour has it theres a player from the continent being targeted as the Becks replacement. Hopefully that's true.

Been linked with some decent players but it all has a feel of the Wilko era when we were linked with Reuben Sosa, Martin Dahlin, Tomas Skuravy etc but ended up with Frank Strandli and the equally rotund Tomas Brolin.

Clyde Wijnhard it is then. Fill the squad out with Roque Junior and Salomon Olembe, and Paul Okon and Jacob Burns in reserve.

There's rumours to that effect.

He'd divide opinion big time with half booing and half cheering every time he kicked the ball.
I was hoping for Montgomery but we'll have to wait and see.

I'm quite happy with the signing of Paynter but still think we need someone who's proven at Championship level at least. I knew we wouldn't get Billy Sharp, any fee involved and we are out. Freebies all the way. Paynter has had one good season in league one and that's it, i hope he scores plenty but i think it's a risk to not buy anyone else upfront.

Mmmm I share a bit of your frustration, and can see where it looks like it's heading signing wise with the freebies and missing out on Sharp.... but lets wait and see fella before having a go at Bates etc

Same here, it's not even the end of June yet lets wait and see where we are before we start ranting about who's in or out.

the fekking stupid half. Anyone with half a brain could see he was probably the most committed Leeds player we've had in year. So he chose to move his career on and win things. Boo Hoo. What does it matter?

Don't know why people are so obsessed with us spending money. If the squad which is assembled works well then I'd much rather it were done for next to nothing rather than spending over the odds. I hear Robbie Fowler and Seth Johnson are available. £20m will get us the pair. They must be good if they cost that much.

No transfers involving money will be announced yet. Dont they have to wait until 1 July for the transfer window to open before they can be announced?
