[LU] Woodgate

2011-07-08 Thread Ian Murray
Reports in this morning's metro that Woodgate is going to sign for Stoke, and we're losing out on his signature. To be honest I would love to see A fully functioning Woodgate back with us, but doubt that would happen because:- (a) He's not fully functioning (b) We won't pay anything like the

No it's not a disgrace. It's a blessing in disguise. He is not fit. Only motivation and not greed will keep him going. And he owes us. He could have payed a debt. That's motivation enough. The difference in the money at this pint of his career is meaningless. If he doesn't think that way. Then

From the mouth of Babes and sucklings and second choice relegated goalies: Lonergan now looks set for a move to the blue half of Merseyside, which would see him re-united with David Moyes who gave him his first-team debut as a teenager. Earlier this week, North End agreed to sell the

We arent in trouble! Don't be so negative. One Preston keeper has turned us down, we still have Dudek and now Stockdale from Fulham as potentials. Cheer up! We are Leeds and of we so choose we can probably pick up any decent lower league keeper that we want at very short notice From:

Well I assume as Bates has gone public claiming 4 new signings, Grayson has said he is working towards new signings, Bates has said he wants promotion, hence he wont sell “stars” etc…. If we weren’t doing anything or looking to cut costs he wouldn’t have said that and leave himself open to

Wtf is going on at Ipswich?! It is one thing being outbid on wages by Stoke/Everton/Leicester.. but Ipswich too?! They have had some other high profile signings too this summer. I'm not usually a pessimist, but we definitely seem to be going backwards in terms of attracting the better players -

My worry is the overall message that has been received and is now seemingly 'an accepted'. Leeds are a team that you say no to. Too many people have said No. So that makes it trendy. We are no longer famous or even desirable. We are at the stage where there is a 'something is wrong factor'. I
