Premiership prices for what will be average footy (we scraped out of league one at the third attempt remember) & the new away shirt, made by Nike…no, sorry Adidas…no sorry Macron(who?), costs £35!! for.the.shirt…FOR KIDS! Heaven forbid we ever make it back to the Premier League

To Reaper, i saw your comments the other day regarding the anti bates stuff…… Like i said on dirty leeds – for a long time i have tried to keep an open mind but when you really look at whats been going on….Bates pushing the council to buy the training ground back for him (inevitibly to attract a better price for a more attractive club package when he sells it) and you look at his investment in leeds united you have to accept hes at Leeds to make money in the short term and thats it !
If you follow that line you can say he even took us into administration regardless of points deduction in order to avoid dishing out his own cash…… Negative i know but possably true. I dont think you can even say hes running the club on its own finances because the longer this goes on the harder it is to argue that we are still skint. We are paying premiership prices for godsakes…….

The longer we stay with ZERO investment the harder it will become to attract talent and to keep it.

If you watched football nowadays you would know that a ‘tough-tackling, no-nonsense’ defender is the last thing any team needs. Kisnorbo is class without being either of them. Bruce is a journeyman at the age of 24, we don’t need him

The worst kept secret in football. Bruce talks about his Leeds United ambitions;

“Having had a taste of the Championship play-offs last season while on loan at Leicester City this is what I am after again.

“Leeds – like Sheffield United – are a club that can provide that and although automatic promotion is the aim, reaching the Premier League via a final at Wembley Stadium would be fantastic.

“I have had a taste and now I want more.

“Ipswich could have given the opportunity as well but it doesn’t look as though it is going to happen.

“Looking back perhaps the writing was on the wall for me when I was relieved of the captaincy, allowed to go on loan and then lost my number five squad shirt.

“I’ve loved my time at Ipswich and can’t speak highly enough about their fans, and if the Leeds move comes off I will leave wishing Ipswich Town all the best for the future.”

A good read on their forum, seems a tough no nonsense tackler which is just what we need.

We desperately need a defender in Paddys class (Andy O’Brien??), a midfielder with similar ability to Gary Mac (Allister NOT Sheffery!!) & a striker as selfish as a certain Mr Beckford, otherwise this is going to be a long season. This squad could be so much better just by spending a million or two

No official word from Leeds themselves on any signing of Bruce, fingers crossed it falls thru’. New striker in before weekend according to Glyn Williams, technical director, no idea who though as yet.

seems to me Simon has a plan… these signings are not at all random! he is building a team based on the offsprings of former Manure players! Schmeichel and Bruce! ring any bells?? i reckon we will see Brooklyn Beckham holding the Nr 4 shirt in front of the cameras at Elland Road some time next week!
not that i’m complaining though! if the lad is anything like his father then we have got ourselves one hard tackling midfielder!(sarcasm?)

i think bruce will be ok ,if he signs .dont read too much into what other fans say about departing players preston fans hated collins ,he did alright for us its all opinions
dont really rate keane as a manager bit of a bully type is my opinion
i would like to think that the defence is complete we are surely covered in that dept
weare a little light in midfield and STRIKERS

WILL SOME ONE SIGN A BLOODY STRIKER

please
