Leeds miss out in late loan bid for Dickinson
Leeds United made a late bid to take Derby County striker Liam Dickinson on loan but a deal could not be done before the transfer window closed.
However, a deal could be resurrected once the emergency loan window re-opens in a week’s time, on February 9.
Dickinson joined the Rams from Stockport County in the summer for £750,000 but is yet to make his senior debut.
He has already had spells on loan with Huddersfield Town and Blackpool this season.

http://www.clubfanzine.com/leeds/v2.showNews.php?id=17777
Det har vel også jeg alltid trodd, men gutten er nå 21 år og er ikke i nærheten av en plass på laget. Han har vel knapt nok fått spilt på reservelaget og på ungdomslaget til Leeds er det vel andre som spiller. I tillegg har han vel nå vært skadet ei god stund.
En kjapp liten kikk på hjemmesidene til Leeds og jeg ser at Lund ikke er høyere enn 178 cm :o Da er han vel strengt tatt 10 cm for kort etter mitt syn. Finnes ikke mange keepere på toppnivå som er under 180 cm, om de finnes i det hele tatt!
-
Huff, jeg må si at dette var fryktelig tynnt. Selv om jeg innser at transfer markedet er vanskelig hadde jeg trodd og håpet at vi skulle fått inn et kvalitetsnavn (eller to). En midtstopper (over the top), og en spiss med (stor) fremtid foran seg, men som fort kan vise seg å være en flopp (sorry, men ja, jeg er skeptisk....) - det er simpelten ikke nok til å gjeninsette Leeds som en storhet i England.
At laget fortsatt greier å trekke over 20,000 tilskuere basert på fordums storhet er jo bare fantastisk. Jeg personlig greier å manne meg opp til å høre på LUTV hver kampdag, selv om jeg føler frykten for tap komme krypende allerede timer før kampstart. Men det tærer på humøret når jeg må innse at mitt kjære Leeds ikke er noe mer enn et middels League One lag på linje med Stockport, Tranmere, Colchester osv osv., altså lag som jeg overbærende trakk på smilebåndet av når jeg hørte BBC reporteren lese opp resultatene fra 3. divisjon den gang for vel 100 år siden (er det ikke det da??) da jeg startet min karriere som Leeds-supporter.
Berg-og-dal-bane kan være morsom å kjøre, men (ned-) turen med Leeds som har vart i noen år nå har ført til en lettere kvalmende fornemmelse som det ikke ser ut til å være noen mirakelkur mot. Som ihuga Pondus leser har jeg også greid å le godt av Jokkes utbrudd, men i den senere tiden må jeg innrømme at min kone nesten ler mer av meg enn jeg ler av Jokke - og jeg kjenner jo igjen min kones overbærende smil som altså jeg selv hadde en gang for mange år siden.....
Jeg har aldri vært forkjemper for "kjøpelag", og har lenge trodd at Leeds var en fabrikk av unge talenter. Men nå tror jeg arbeidet på talentfabrikken har mistet kvalitetsstempelet, på linje med gamle British Leyland, og jeg frykter at Fabian Delph er det siste produktet ut av fabrikken som det står "Made in Leeds" på.... Måtte jeg ta grundig feil!

Ja da så :D er selv 178cm og gammel keeper og med grunnlag i dine oplysninger burde J.Lund vært fjernet for lengst ;D det vet jeg alt om.

Mer om Dickinson:
Liam Dickinson seemingly not wanted at Pride Park and destined for Elland Road
A laste minute deal to sign Liam Dickinson by Leeds United failed last night but the loan deal may be resurrected on Monday when the emergency loan transfer window opens.
It is unclear why Derby County haven't given the 23 year old a chance to show what he could do for Derby following his £750,000 move from Stockport in the summer but they seem keen to loan Dickinson out for the third time since becoming a Ram. He has yet to kick a ball for Derby County after unsubstantiated rumours of wrong doings off field...

I følge ryktene vil vel han og Grella passe fint sammen ;)

Bates: Points a finger at the media
BATES FIRES A BROADSIDE AT MEDIA
Ken Bates could not resist taking a swipe at the media after the transfer window closed without any further bids for midfielder Fabian Delph.
The 19-year-old England Under-21 international has been linked with a multi-million pound move to various Premier League clubs, but the Leeds chairman remains adamant his prized asset was never going anywhere.
Bates told Yorkshire Radio: "I don't know what the Mirror will write about now seeing as they've been at it all month. Sky were banging on about Leeds fans expecting a tremendous price as well. Nothing happened, so now it's suggested 'at least until the summer'.
"The last time I looked at his contract he is with us until 2012. Why should he go anywhere this summer? Or the summers after that?
"I had a chat with him after Peterborough game. He's at home at Leeds, we want to look after him and we will look after him and support him.
"He's happy at Leeds and has an agent who is more interested in looking after him than he is making a fast buck."

"The FA Premier League made arrangements for their clubs to register players after the deadline and if the Football League had adopted the same approach then Liam Dickinson would be a Leeds player until the end of the season."
I Premier League (FA) fikk altså klubbene utsatt fristen for overganger om det kunne bevises at klubbene hadde gjort ferdig en avtale, men ikke hadde rukket å levere papirer på grunn av snøfallet. Dette gjaldt altså ikke for klubber i Football League...

Veldig kjipt å høre. Jeg kjenner ikke stort til Dickinson, men skjønner at klubben jaktet en spiss til (kanskje som erstatning for Trundle).
Så er det vel Football League og ikke FA (to forskjellige institusjoner) som var de som ikke ville godta dette - ikke overraskende selvsagt.
Spørs det om han kan komme på lån neste uke....

Rare bortforklaringer fra Leeds synes jeg. Hvis de faktisk var interessert i denne spilleren, så hadde de signert han i begynnelsen av januar, ikke 14 minutter over tidsfristen. Desverre virker det på meg som om det her var en "panikksignering".

Greit å ha ei forklaring... ;D

NY SPILLER? - Liam Dickinson:
The Oficial Site states that the papers for this loan deal until the end of the season were logged at 5.14pm.
Surely that means that Dickinson has now signed a contract with us but as things stand we can not register him as the papers were received by the FL 14 minutes after the transfer deadline.
I guess therefore that as Dickinson must have signed a contract with us until the end of the season our only option in order to have him registered to play for us is an emergency loan deal to go through next Monday.
Bra gjettet....tror jeg! Han er en som jeg håper havner i Leeds denne sesongen. Dette lånevinduet har i tillegg også en liten mulighet il å forlenge avtaler over 93 dager. Derav navnet emergency.... og EMERGENCY er det jo hver gang Leeds spiller i en finale! ;)

Seagulls still hope to sign Kilkenny
Albion have not given up hope of landing Leeds United midfielder Neil Kilkenny.
They will renew their pursuit of the Australian international when the transfer window re-opens for temporary deals next week.
The Seagulls made two bids for Kilkenny during the January transfer window.
They upped their original offer to the Yorkshire giants but Leeds, keen to clinch a permanent deal for the 23-year-old, were anticipating a significantly bigger bid from a Championship club.
That did not materialise before the window for permanent transfers closed on Monday and Albion are now hoping Leeds will amend their stance and allow Kilkenny to leave on loan.
The Argus first revealed Albion’s interest in Kilkenny last week. He had Premier League experience with Birmingham and has made 21 appearances for Leeds this season but has not featured since Simon Grasyon replaced Gary McAllister as manager at Elland Road. (...)

Grayson still hoping to strike a deal
Simon Grayson has not given up hope of extending Lee Trundle's loan at Leeds United, despite failing to persuade Bristol City to allow the striker to stay at Elland Road for the rest of the season.
Grayson has confirmed that an attempt to secure Trundle, right, until the end of the League One campaign was rejected by City before the winter transfer window closed on Monday night.
The Championship club allowed Trundle to join Leeds temporarily last month with his prospects at Ashton Gate limited, but City manager Gary Johnson is not prepared to rule the 32-year-old out of his future plans.
Trundle – a £1m signing from Swansea City in 2007 – is halfway through a three-year contract in Bristol, and Johnson's squad are still in the running for the Championship play-offs.
The forward's initial month-long loan with Leeds is due to end on Monday after the club's home match against Millwall, and the closure of the window has prevented United from making further attempts to agree an extension which would cover all of their remaining League One games.
United can still increase his temporary deal up to a maximum of 93 days with City's permission, and Grayson hopes to convince Johnson to leave Trundle at Elland Road.
Grayson said: "We asked Bristol City if we could extend the loan until the end of the season and they didn't allow us to do that.
"He's their player so they've got the right to make that decision and I respect that, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we won't be able to keep him here after this month.
"If you speak to the player, I'm sure you'll find he's enjoying himself here. He's a quality striker and the type of player I want."
Grayson did succeed in converting Richard Naylor's loan from Ipswich Town into a permanent deal on Monday afternoon, but he was unable to adjust the agreement with Stoke City for left-back Carl Dickinson.
The 21-year-old was, along with Trundle and Naylor, one of three players signed on loan by Grayson last month, but he is highly-rated by Stoke and agreed a contract extension before leaving to join Leeds.
His deal at Elland Road runs until the middle of this month and could also be extended up to the 93-day limit, but Dickinson is now certain to return to the Britannia Stadium before the season ends.
Grayson said: "That was another deal we tried to do but Stoke have had a few injuries recently. They think highly of him and realistically it was probably the deal we were least expecting to do."

Fra morleyobserver.co.uk's artikkel 'Lions lad signs on for keeps to boost United'
(...) United also completed the signing of 22-year-old American striker Mike Grella after he impressed in a trial period while they also added to their staff off the field with Glynn Snodin returning to the club as part of Simon Grayson's coaching staff.
Sales-wise, it proved remarkably quiet for the Elland Road club, despite bids expected for midfielders Fabian Delph and Neil Kilkenny, so as it stands now they have added to their squad, albeit not as much as had been anticipated a month ago.
The only first team player to leave was veteran Paul Telfer, whose contract was cancelled by mutual agreement, while young goalkeeper Jonathan Lund was also released along with 20-year-old right back Scott Gardner last week. (....)

Striker loan boost for Leeds
(http://editorial.jpress.co.uk/web/Upload/LEED//TH1_42200910e4-0402-52-0402-074252.jpg)
Derby County will allow Liam Dickinson to join Leeds United in the emergency loan market after an unsuccessful attempt by Leeds to sign him until the end of the season provoked fresh conflict between Elland Road and the Football League.
United hit out at the Football League after a deal struck with Derby to take Dickinson to Leeds for the rest of their League One term collapsed on the final day of the January transfer window.
Derby were willing to sanction a half-season loan for the 23-year-old striker but Leeds failed to supply the Football League with the necessary paperwork before Monday's 5pm deadline, the cut-off point for permanent transfers and long-term loans.
United revealed that a fax confirming the agreement reached the Football League at 5.14pm, 14 minutes after the deadline, and the club criticised the League for failing to process the transfer on the basis of "exceptional circumstances".
Leeds appeared to indicate that adverse weather conditions across England were responsible for the delay in signing Dickinson.
The Premier League announced on Monday that it would authorise deals concluded after 5pm provided clubs could prove that the heavy snow was responsible for the late arrival of documentation, but the Football League adhered to the original deadline set by FIFA.
In a statement, Leeds chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "It is disappointing that the Football League stuck rigidly to the 5pm deadline when you take into account the exceptional circumstances that prevailed.
"The Premier League made arrangements for their clubs to register players after the deadline and if the Football League had adopted the same approach then Liam Dickinson would be a Leeds player until the end of the season."
The deal reached with Derby allowed Dickinson to remain with United up to and including the League One play-offs should Leeds qualify, and his arrival would have strengthened the hand of manager Simon Grayson after Bristol City rejected United's attempt to sign Lee Trundle on an identical agreement.
Dickinson built his reputation as a potent striker by scoring 33 goals in 57 league starts for his first club Stockport County, and Derby paid £750,000 to sign him last summer. He has since completed loan spells at Huddersfield Town and Blackpool, where he played under Grayson.
The Football League's emergency loan market opens next week, allowing Leeds to sign players for a maximum of 93 days, and Derby would grant the forward a move to Elland Road if United still wish to recruit him.
Derby chairman Adam Pearson told the YEP: "I'm sure it will get sorted out. We'd expect him to go there when the loan market opens."
A spokesman for the Football League responded to United's criticism by saying: "The 5pm deadline has been set for some considerable time. The paperwork for this particular transfer failed to arrive in time to comply with that deadline."

Bristol City's Trundle loan set to be extended
Bristol City star Lee Trundle is expected to stay at Leeds United for at least another month.
The 32-year-old striker joined the Coca-Cola League One outfit on a short-term basis in January and his loan spell is due to expire after Monday night's clash with Millwall at Elland Road.
Although the clubs have yet to reach agreement on an extension, it is thought likely Bristol City manager Gary Johnson will allow his £1 million signing to remain in Yorkshire for the time being.
But the Evening Post can reveal City blocked an attempt by Leeds boss Simon Grayson to keep Trundle at Elland Road for the remainder of the season.
Short of attacking options and in need of increased firepower, Grayson wanted Trundle to stay and help the Whites push for the end-of-season play-offs.
However, City are mounting a play-off challenge of their own in the Coca-Cola Championship and Johnson is not prepared to lose a valued member of his first team squad for such a long time.
Johnson claimed that Trundle still figured in his plans and that the main objective of loaning him to Leeds was for him to regain match fitness.
Given that City can recall the player at 24 hours' notice after the first month, Johnson will be inclined to listen favourably to any request from Leeds to extend Trundle's loan.
Whites boss Grayson has certainly not given up hope of signing Trundle for a second month.
He confirmed an attempt to sign the forward for the remainder of the season had been rejected before the transfer window closed on Monday night, but refused to rule out the possibility of keeping Trundle on loan for the maximum 93 days permitted by FA regulations governing transfers.
Grayson said: "We asked Bristol City if we could extend the loan to cover the rest of the season and they didn't allow us to do that.
"He's their player, so they have the right to make that decision and I respect that. But it doesn't necessarily mean we won't be able to keep him here after this month.
"If you speak to the player, I'm sure you'll find he's enjoying himself here. He's a quality striker and the type of player I want."

Trundle set to stay as Leeds prepare to welcome the Duke
On-loan striker Lee Trundle is expected to extend his stay at Leeds for at least another month while Derby say they can see no reason why Liam Dickinson should not arrive at Elland Road next week.
The 32-year-old Bristol City striker arrived at Elland Road on a short-term basis last month and his loan spell is due to expire after Monday's clash with Millwall.
Although the two clubs have yet to reach agreement on an extension, it is thought the Robins manager Gary Johnson will allow his £1million signing to remain in West Yorkshire for the time being.
But according to the Bristol-based Evening Post, the Championship club blocked an attempt by Simon Grayson to keep Trundle for the rest of the season.
Grayson himself confirmed an attempt to sign the forward for the remainder of the season had been rejected before the transfer window closed on Monday night, but refused to rule out the possibility of keeping Trundle on loan for the maximum 93 days.
Furthermore Derby County expect Liam Dickinson to join Leeds on loan when the transfer market re-opens next week.
Dickinson had been lined up for a move to Elland Road for the rest of the season on deadline day, only for the paperwork to be submitted to the Football League 14 minutes after the 5pm cut-off.
Leeds' chief executive Shaun Harvey has expressed his disappointment that the Football League were not flexible in allowing the move to go through on Monday.
Harvey told the club's official website: "The Premier League made arrangements for their clubs to register players (eg Arshavin to Arsenal) after the deadline and if the Football League had adopted the same approach then Liam Dickinson would be a Leeds player until the end of the season."
Dickinson has yet to make his debut for Derby since joining from Stockport County last summer. Grayson signed the 23-year-old during his time at Blackpool and the forward scored four goals in seven appearances for the Seasiders.
Dickinson was a class act in Stockport's play-off final win last season and maybe that experience of scoring goals at Wembley will come in handy.
What is certain is that with Dickinson, Trundle, Beckford, Becchio, Snodgrass and Grella on board, Leeds have the ammunition to score the goals they need to between now and the end of the season.

Egentlig er jeg litt lei av sånne "luksusproblemer". Vi har hatt dem siden midt uti Blackwellperioden. For mange omtrent like gode spillere og ikke nok enere. Er vi i ferd med å få den samme situasjonen i angrepet som vi har hatt på midtbanen?
Er jeg blitt angrepet av sytetendensene på forumet nå? Leter jeg med lys og lykte som en annen Håkon etter problemer der de ikke finnes? :)

Nå forsvinner vel Trundle snart. Kan jo maks være i Leeds i totalt 93 dager og nå har det vel gått ca 30. Så maks ut mars er vel han hos Leeds.

Striker loan boost for Leeds
Derby County will allow Liam Dickinson to join Leeds United in the emergency loan market after an unsuccessful attempt by Leeds to sign him until the end of the season provoked fresh conflict between Elland Road and the Football League.
Liam's still a Whites target
Simon Grayson has confirmed that Liam Dickinson remains a target for Leeds United despite their failed bid to sign the striker from Derby County earlier this week.
Dickinson was denied a move to Elland Road when his proposed switch from Pride Park missed Monday's transfer deadline, but Grayson is set to use the Football League's emergency loan market to secure the 23-year-old's services later this month.
Leeds and Derby agreed a deal which would have allowed Dickinson to join United on loan until the end of their League One campaign, but the transfer fell through after paperwork sent from Elland Road arrived with the Football League 14 minutes after Monday's 5pm deadline.
The January window was the final opportunity for clubs in England to agree permanent transfers and long-term loans, but the Football League's flexibility in allowing short-term temporary deals to be struck outside that window will give Leeds the chance to add to their squad from the beginning of next week.
Dickinson could join Leeds for a maximum of 93 days under Football League rules – potentially long enough to secure him for the League One play-offs if United delay his arrival until the relevant date – and Derby chairman Adam Pearson has confirmed that his club are still willing to sanction the forward's transfer to Leeds.
Grayson said: "It was one of those deals that came up late in the day and an opportunity I thought we should try and take. Unfortunately we didn't get him. Talks are ongoing and I'd like to think that if he had a choice of clubs then Leeds would be top of his priority list.
"Having worked with the player in the past, I understand him and he understands me so we've got chance of doing that deal, but no deal is ever secure until it's been signed, sealed and delivered.
"It's one where we'll again be exploring the option of bringing him in."
Ex-Stockport County player Dickinson played under Grayson while on loan at Blackpool from Derby earlier in the season, and the striker's temporary spell at Bloomfield Road was still in full flow when Grayson left to become United's new manager two days before Christmas.
Grayson is keen to secure a new striker after Bristol City rebuffed Leeds' attempt to extend Lee Trundle's loan deal until the end of the season, though the Championship club are indicating that Trundle will be given permission to remain with United for a further four weeks when his initial month-long agreement expires after Monday's match against Millwall.
Grayson said: "I worked with Liam at Blackpool and he's scored many goals in the last few years.
"He got his move to Derby (from Stockport) and I thought he'd be a good addition to our squad. I was disappointed not to have got him but we'll have to wait and see what happens over the next few weeks."
Dickinson scored 33 goals in 57 league starts for Stockport before joining Derby last summer, but he has not made a first-team appearance for his parent club.
The forward began this season on loan at Huddersfield Town, making 13 outings and scoring six goals.

Robbo wants birthday boy to stay
Winger Andy Robinson is hoping Bristol City will give his former Swansea City team-mate Lee Trundle a 33rd birthday present by letting him remain at Leeds United.
Trundle’s loan spell runs out after Monday night’s home game against Millwall and the striker’s birthday is on Tuesday.
Leeds wanted to stretch his stay until the end of the season before the January window closed but Bristol were keen to negotiate a permanent transfer, with cash changing hands.

DICKINSON MOVE NOT DEAD - GRAYSON
Leeds manager Simon Grayson has not ruled out a fresh loan move for Derby striker Liam Dickinson.
The Elland Road club had agreed terms with Dickinson and Derby to take the 23-year-old striker on loan until the end of the season, but were dismayed to learn the Football League refused to take into account the severe weather conditions when paperwork arrived 14 minutes late.
The window for loan signings reopens on Tuesday and Grayson said: "I thought Liam would be a good addition to us. I worked with him at Blackpool and he scored many goals in the last few years and got his move to Derby County.
"He would have been good for us and would have increased competition for places and I was disappointed that we did not get him.
"But we will have to wait and see over the next few weeks what will happen.
"Talks are ongoing and I would like to think that if he had a choice of clubs, then Leeds would be top of his priority list." (PA)

I YEP i dag sier Trundle at han satser på å etterlate seg et skikkelig inntrykk ved å spille en god kamp i det som later til å være hans siste kamp for oss! Virker som han har skikkelig tæl og innstilling denne Trundle. Håper låneavtalen kan forlenges i siste øyeblikk da!
Noen god kamp ble det ikke ..

Mo Camara join Leeds United on trial.
Saints swoop for free agent Camara
(http://images.teamtalk.com/09/02/330/Mo-Camara1_1866786.jpg)
Former Celtic defender Mo Camara has made a return to the SPL by signing a contract with St Mirren until the end of the season.
The former Derby and Burnley left-back travelled north on Thursday to discuss a move back to Scotland with Saints boss Gus MacPherson, and despite the interest of League One side Leeds, the Guinea international put pen-to-paper on a deal until the end of the current campaign.
Camara has been on the look out for a new club since being released a fortnight ago by new Derby boss Nigel Clough, since when he has been training with Leeds to retain his fitness.
Whites boss Simon Grayson was thought to be keen to offer a Camara a deal at Elland Road after the pair worked together at Blackpool earlier this term but the Whites failed to table an offer before the 33-year-old signed with the Saints after being impressed with the set-up of the Paisley club.
It is thought that if Camara plays ten games between now and the end of the season for the SPL side, he will automatically be offered a one-year deal in the summer.
Camara has played three times for Derby this season, including the famous Carling Cup semi-final first-leg victory over Manchester United. He also made 14 appearances in a three-month loan spell at Blackpool.

34 år gamle Gillespie har jeg hatt noenlunde sansen for, selv om han ikke er noen målscorer av rang. Han spilte rimelig fast på Sheff U etter at PL-perioden hans tok slutt.
Mo Camara er jeg enda mer skeptisk til, men Grayson skal vel kjenne han godt siden han har vært på visitt i Blackpool under hans managerperiode der.
Dette er vel ikke godt nytt for Snoddy, og stallen eser ut igjen - hvis de blir gitt kontrakter da.

Hvis vi klarer å få så mye ut av lånespillerne som vi har gjort i det siste så er det faktisk en god strategi. Så kan vi heller gjøre som med Naylor dersom de virkelig skulle slå til. Men når det er sagt, så er det litt bekymringsverdig at lånespillerne (som sliter med spilletid andre steder) ser ut til å være såpass mye bedre enn de vi har gående på faste kontrakter. Hvis vi rykker opp til våren får vi håpe det skjer en opprydning i eksisterende stall, samt at det selvfølgelig handles inn mer etablerte spillere.

Sant nok, men vi skal ikke se bort fra at noen av de "utskjelte" spillerne spiller på seg selvtillit og forvandles til "bedre" spillere i løpet av resten av sesongen.
Alle kjenner til den psykologiske faktoren, og at den virker inn på mange lag og tropper er udiskutabelt.
Millwall i år er noe helt annet enn i fjor da det var på håret at de rykket ned i League 2.
De fleste på forumet (inkl meg) synes enige om at det må til klare forsterkninger om det blir opprykk, og selvfølgelig at dermed ca et halv dusin av dagens spillere forsvinner.

Whites can still go up - Dickinson
Should his loan deal from Stoke City conclude as scheduled next week, Carl Dickinson will exit Leeds United believing he has left behind a club destined for the Championship this season.
The defender's future is up in the air with the loan agreement between Leeds and Stoke set to end on Tuesday night, but he has seen enough of Simon Grayson's squad in the past four weeks to feel confident that United's campaign will end in promotion.
Dickinson made his sixth appearance for Leeds during yesterday's West Yorkshire derby at Huddersfield Town, and United have been working to extend his temporary deal after a spell in which improved results have carried the club back in the direction of League One's play-off zone.
United won four of their five matches before the trip to the Galpharm Stadium, and Dickinson admitted that he could see in Leeds shades of the mood and momentum that grew at Blackpool two years ago while Grayson was manager of the Lancashire club.
The left-back completed two months of the 2006-07 campaign on loan at Blackpool from Stoke, and he was briefly part of a squad which went on to win 10 matches in succession at the end of the term, culminating in victory over Yeovil Town in the League One play-off final.
Grayson's appointment at Leeds in December has reversed the negative form which damaged United's league position under his predecessor, Gary McAllister, and the club had a welcome chance to climb back into League One's play-off positions for the first time in over two months during yesterday's match.
Asked whether he thought United would be promoted at the end of the season, Dickinson said: "I think so.
"People have seen what he (Grayson) did with Blackpool and Leeds are just as good a team as Blackpool were.
"There's no reason why Leeds can't go up and I think they should be going up.
"They've got players who can unlock teams, and the strength of the squad is important as well. For me, Leeds should definitely be up there come the end of the season.
"At Blackpool, (Grayson) made sure that his defence was tight and that we worked hard as a team.
"To be honest, with a group of good players, if they're working hard while playing their football then they'll always have a chance.
"I played in League One when I was at Blackpool so I know what it's all about.
"It's more of a battle down here but Leeds have got some really good players in their team.
"It's nice having guys around you who are good footballers."
Grayson sees Dickinson as one of the good footballers in his squad, and United's boss has been intent on keeping the full-back at Elland Road beyond his initial month-long loan.
Dickinson's future has always been likely to depend on the strength of the squad at Stoke – recent injuries and suspensions have reduced the number of players available to manager Tony Pulis – and City turned down a bid by Leeds to keep the defender until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old signed a new contract with Stoke before coming to Leeds, indicating that he was not surplus to Pulis' requirements in the long term, and he admitted that a return to the Britannia Stadium and the Premier League would be his preferred option – provided that City intended to use him in their first team.
Dickinson's last league appearance before his Leeds debut at Brighton on January 17 came almost four months earlier, and he would not rule out the option of staying at Elland Road if his immediate position under Pulis remained unchanged.
Dickinson said: "I know as much as everyone else really.
"I don't know what's happening and I'm here until the 17th when my loan finishes. What happens after that, I'm not quite sure.
"I'd love to go back to Stoke and see if I can play a few more Premier League games. But if things aren't going well at Stoke and I'm not playing and just sitting in the stand then I'd go anywhere to play football. All I want to do is play games.
"Since the start of the season I've only played a couple of (league) games for Stoke and featured in the cup games.
"Other than that, I wasn't too involved. Before I came to Leeds it was about three months since I'd played in the league.
"I was just happy to come here and play some games and it's done me the world of good.
"I feel sharper, I feel F***er and that's what getting through 90 minutes does for you."
Dickinson is eligible to play in Tuesday night's game between Leeds at Hereford United at Edgar Street, and his series of solid performances have underlined Grayson's desire to extend his loan.
Leeds have already succeeded in securing former loanee Richard Naylor on a permanent transfer from Ipswich Town, and Bristol City agreed on Monday to allow Lee Trundle to continue his temporary stay at Elland Road for a second month.
Dickinson was the third of three players recruited on loan by Grayson last month, and he took hold of the left-back position in United's team immediately after his arrival.
The clean sheet recorded in Monday's 2-0 win over Millwall was the club's third in five games, a pleasing contrast to the defensive problems experienced by Leeds before the January transfer window opened.
Dickinson said: "I've just been happy getting the chance to play games.
"If Leeds do want to keep me then it shows that I've been performing well, and if I stay here or go elsewhere then I can take that into whichever club I play for.
"If I do go back to Stoke and get the chance to play then I'll grab it with both hands. I'm raring to go."

Leeds may make a move for Derby County defender Claude Davis next.
Former Preston and Sheffield United centre-back Davis' last appearance for County was in November.
The Jamaica international is thought to be interested in a move away from Pride Park to get regular first team football and it is thought he is on Simon Grayson's wish-list.
New Derby boss Nigel Clough is looking to release some fringe players, with plenty of defensive strength in depth, and he could decide to sell Davis in this month's transfer window.

Dickinson: I won’t give up trying to replace Higgy
City defender eyeing a first team spot
CARL Dickinson is confident his loan spell at Leeds will help bridge the gap between himself and Danny Higginbotham in their head-to-head for the left-back berth at Stoke City.
Dickinson acknowledges that his older and more experienced colleague remains number one, but won’t give up the task of trying to eventually replace him.
“It’s always going to be difficult with Danny around because everyone knows what a good player he is,†admitted Dickinson.
“Danny is first choice, and it was just my luck I was out on loan when he went and got injured recently.
“But I now feel a lot sharper after going out and playing regularly – there’s nothing like it for match fitness.

Smith-rykter kommer med jevne mellomrom, og det er like spennende hver gang. Personlig kan jeg godt tenke meg å se han i Leedsdrakten igjen. Selv om det etter all sansynlighet ikke er noe hold i dette ryktet, sier jeg JA TAKK hvis dette skal vise seg å stemme.
Grayson håper å få hentet en høyreback til kampen i morgen, selv om det begynner å bli litt sent nå...

Newcastle blue star ligger på 9.plass i Unibond league north. Med andre ord så blir Webb utlånt til en klubb som spiller på nivå 8 i det engelske ligasystemet. Og dette er altså en 19-åring som har en fremtid i Leeds? ???

STOKES SEALS BLADES SWITCH
Sunderland striker Anthony Stokes has joined Coca-Cola Championship side Sheffield United on a three-month loan.
Stokes has struggled to break into the Sunderland first team this season after manager Roy Keane brought in forwards Djibril Cisse, El Hadji Diouf and David Healy over the summer.

Hassell target
Barnsley defender Bobby Hassell is rumoured to be a summer target for both Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United.
The 28 year-old has been an important figure in Simon Davey's Oakwell revolution, and will feature again at right-back against Championship play-off chasers Cardiff City at Ninian Park tonight.

United in no hurry to tie up duo's deals
Two of Leeds United’s most experienced players will be kept waiting for talks over their future at the club.
The contracts of captain Frazer Richardson, 26, and Republic of Ireland international Jonathan Douglas, 27, are due to expire in the summer, but United are in no rush to negotiate new deals for the pair.
That doesn’t necessarily mean Rotherham-born defender Richardson and former Blackburn midfielder Douglas will leave at the end of the season, as United are waiting to see which division the team will be playing in next term before committing themselves.
Manager Simon Grayson said: “Obviously we are aware of the situation. Contract talks have not started because we don’t know what division we will be in next season.
“The players are aware of that and are relaxed about the situation.
“I am sure if we are promoted they will be desperate to stay, and even if we are in League One again they will want to be associated with this club, so contract talks will be put on hold until the summer.â€
Rright back Richardson, who is currently injured, is United’s longest-serving player, while Douglas has filled the role of emergency right back in the last two games during the absence of Richardson and Andrew Hughes.
The first-team squad return to training tomorrow after two days off to recover from their two games in three days against Scunthorpe and Oldham, which reaped four points.
Jonathan Howson returns from a one-match ban at Bristol Rovers on Saturday, but Bradley Johnson is missing through suspension, having reached five bookings for the season last weekend.
Meanwhile, more than 8,000 United fans have pledged their allegiance by renewing their season tickets before the early deadline, which expired on Monday.
That is around 70 per cent of current season ticket holders, with the rest presumably hanging on to see which division Leeds are in next season.
Leeds are currently in the play-off spots but they face another tricky period starting at the end of the month.
They have six matches in three weeks, including four against sides in the promotion race, starting with second-placed Milton Keynes and also including runaway leaders Leicester.

Douglas keen on Whites deal
Leeds midfielder open to extending Elland Road stay
Jonathan Douglas has confirmed his desire to sign a new contract with League One play-off hopefuls Leeds United.
The former Blackburn Rovers midfielder, who has been with Leeds since the summer of 2005, is out of contract at the end of the season.
Douglas has more League One starts than any other Leeds player this term and has shown his versatility of late after filling in at right-back due to injuries to Frazer Richardson and Andy Hughes.
The 27-year-old is currently focusing on ensuring Leeds finish inside the top six in League One and is just hoping his performances between now and the summer prompt the club to offer fresh terms.
No deal on the table
"I'm up at the end of the season," he told the club's official website. "I haven't been offered anything, but we'll wait and see at the end of the season.
"I'd like to stay, especially if we go up, but that's not my decision, it's out of my hands. I can only do what I can do on the pitch.
"The manager has other things on his mind at the moment instead of worrying about other people's contracts!
"There's a long way to go and hopefully I will get one. I'm just concentrating on the games we have left and the points we have to play for." (Sky)

Lee Trundle will almost certainly be back at Ashton Gate next week.
Bristol City's £1 million striker has spent the past two months on loan at League One Leeds United.
But Whites boss Simon Grayson has given no indication that he wishes to retain Trundle's services for a third month and Trundle is expected to return to Bristol after Tuesday's fixture against Yeovil Town at Elland Road.

Leeds United are keen to take Manchester United forward Lee Martin on loan for the rest of the season.
Jeg har ikke hørt om han før? Noen andre?
Jeg så han på Molde stadion da vi møtte Rangers. Rask og relativt teknisk spiller som da spilte på venstre kant. Likte det jeg så da. Prøvde ofte å utfordre man mot man. Så ut i fra det jeg så da, så virker han spennende
-
Ironisk nok har spilleren vært diskutert i Tromsø etter at Mark Dempsey (tidligere tre i United) kom til klubben.
Mark Dempsey var meget positiv til spilleren.
-
Når du nevner det, så var Molde også interessert i å leie Lee Martin, men Solskjær sa da til rbnett at det ikke var aktuelt nå siden de hadde så tynn reservelagsstall. Dette var i slutten av februar

But Whites boss Simon Grayson has given no indication that he wishes to retain Trundle's services for a third month and Trundle is expected to return to Bristol after Tuesday's fixture against Yeovil Town at Elland Road.
Leeds to decide on Trundle loan
Leeds United will make a decision on whether to extend striker Lee Trundle's loan by Tuesday.
The Bristol City forward has scored one goal in 10 appearances, but has not started any of Leeds' last four games.
Manager Simon Grayson told BBC Radio Leeds: "We have to see what options we have got and have a talk about it.
"Lee has done well for us and has been very good for the squad. He hasn't played as much as he'd have like recently, so we'll have to see."
Trundle has been on loan at Elland Road since January.

Leeds weigh up loan move for Man United winger Martin
Leeds United are looking for a favour from hated rivals Manchester United.
The Yorkshire club are interested in taking reserve winger Lee Martin on loan as they look to get their League One promotion bid back on track
Martin, 22, also interests Swansea and Crystal Palace. He signed for United in 2005 after coming through the Wimbledon youth scheme, but he has been restricted to just two League Cup appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.
The Englishman made 14 appearances - scoring once - during a loan spell at Nottingham Forest during the first half of the season and he has enjoyed previous short-term moves to Sheffield United, Plymouth, Stoke and Rangers.

Whites wait on Dickinson
Grayson also considering Trundle's future at Elland Road
Leeds United boss Simon Grayson is hoping to finally sign Liam Dickinson on loan as he considers Lee Trundle's future at Elland Road.
Derby County striker Dickinson had agreed to join Leeds last month only for the transfer window to close before the move was completed.
An injury has prevented the deal from subsequently going through, but Grayson believes Dickinson is close to being in a position to join the League One promotion hopefuls.
"There is a deal waiting to be done for Liam Dickinson," Grayson told the Yorkshire Evening Post. "The lad has had 45 minutes in Derby's reserves this week, but we need to make sure he is fully fit.
Opportunity
"We will give him a few days to assess his fitness. It is still ongoing, but it's an opportunity.
"He is closer to being fit than he was a few weeks ago, so we will see what happens."
Grayson is also weighing up whether to extend Bristol City forward Trundle's loan, which expires after Tuesday's game against Yeovil Town.
He added: "Lee's loan is up on Tuesday. We will see what options we have and have left it at that at the minute.
"Lee has contributed well for us, but unfortunately he has not played much for us recently. We will sit down and discuss what happens there."

har vært mye styr rundt denne dickinson.
får håpe han innfrir, selv om han nettopp er tilbake fra skade og alle har ventet på han som han skulle være vår egen messias ;)

På samme måte som denne Trundle var en messias før han kom.... Og leverte 1 (ETT) mål på 10 kamper.

Merkelig at vi ikke henter inn backer, stoppere og sentral defensiv midtbanespillere.. nesten utelukkende spisser som linkes!
Helt enig.. Veldig rart att vi blir linket bare til spisser.. men men, det er jo bare linker! :D

Hver gang jeg leser om Dickinson, håper jeg på Carl...
Hadde vært bra å fått han tilbake på venstrebacken inn mot Play-Off'en.

Trundle heldigvis sendt hjem.

Winger Gillespie joins Bradford
Bradford City have signed Northern Ireland international winger Keith Gillespie on a free transfer.
The 34-year-old, who was released by Sheffield United in January, has joined the Bantams after impressing manager Stuart McCall in training.
McCall told the club's website: "Keith has fantastic ability and will be a big addition to the squad.
"He initially just came in for training and had no pressure put on him but he is desperate to play."
Gillespie, who has 81 international caps and began his professional career at Manchester United, will play for Bradford's reserves at Barnsley on Wednesday evening.
He also played for Newcastle, Blackburn, Leicester and had loan spells at Wigan and Charlton. (BBC)

Var vel Powell som sensasjonelt nok ble tatt ut i landslagstroppen til Eriksson en gang ? Det ble med den ene gangen ...

det var en venstre back med navn chris powell vel

Takk for at Trundle er borte. synest ikkje noke om å låna spelara i so korte perioda om dei ikkje er ein KLAR forsterkning for laget, kan ikkje gi noke bra signal å låna ein spiss som trundle i så korte periodar til dei yngre på laget. Slik som å la Grella bli sittandes på benken, mens halvfeite Trundle kjem inn i staden. Bra låneperioden er over.
GG Trundle...

I utgangspunktet er jeg positiv til å ta en spiller på lån,men ikke slik det blir gjort i klubben nå om dagen.Markedet blir saumfart etter noen som kan forsterke laget stort sett i ccc eller league1.dette er jo da dessverre eventuelt en liten kvalitetesheving.Skal vi ut av denne møkkadivisjonen skulle vi lånt et par benkeslitere fra PL for lenge siden, men det vil ikke Bates bruke pund på.
Se på Trundle: for en parodi!Og dessverre er det flere som "har vært innom" som har vært "utter crap"!
Nei, la Grayson få litt penger å handle for før neste sesong!Da slipper vi denne strømmen av "has been" spillere som kommer innom og hever lønn en måneds tid!

Så ditt poeng er?at vi skal fortsette å låne en haug med spillere slik at vi ikke kjøper katta i sekken?Tenk om Grayson hadde fått beskjed av Bates om å kjøpe inn en klassespiss som leverte varene for oss.Da hadde ikke Trundle blitt vurdert engang.Nå er det en hårfin balansgang om å å finne denne "rette" som IKKE skal koste noe som helst!Nesten Mission Impossible.....

Joda, dersom vi kunne kjøpt en vareleverende klassespiss hadde det vært veldig fint, men jeg tror ikke tilværelsen til Grayson/Bates er så enkel. I et glissent januarvindu midt i finanskrisen er ikke alternativene mange, spesielt ikke når man er en L1-klubb. Videre tror jeg Bates er veldig glad for å endelig gå i overskudd, og han vil ikke gamble. Kan ikke helt skjønne hvordan folk ikke har lært av Ridsdales feil. Vi kunne helt sikkert blåst overskuddet vårt på Robbie Fowler og Seth Johnson nå også, men velger altså å holde igjen (hvis Robbie Fowler og Seth Johnson i det hele tatt var ledige på markedet denne vinteren).
Trundle hadde alle forutsetninger for å passe godt inn i systemet vårt, men alderen hans gjorde vel at gutta så en begrensning som rettferdiggjorde nøkternheten. I ettertid, en helt riktig avgjørelse.

Nå må dere slutte med dette forbanna tullet med Ridsdale.Hvis noen her på forumet vil at Bates skal bruke noen pund kommer alltid dette latterlige argumentet med "se hva Ridsdale gjorde".Det er da vel ikke enten eller?Finnes det ikke en mellomting??????Er det enten grisegjerrig eller skandaløs låning av penger som gjelder?Hvis Bates hadde sagt dette til Grayson så hadde det aldri, jeg gjentar ALDRI blitt noe i nærheten av det Ridsdale gjorde.Bates vet inderlig godt at å låne penger på den måten Ridsdale gjorde, og i den størrelsesorden er døden for en klubb.Derfor er det helt menigsløst å skremme med Ridsdale tilstander hver gang jeg,hb eller noen andre har etterlyst å bruke litt penger for å tilføre stallen kvalitet!
Hvis vi hadde lånt en PL spiss og sprengt lønnsbudsjettet denne sesongen- da vil dette medføre at vi får Ridsdale tilstander med £104mill i kortsiktig gjeld?

Ser vi på budsjett og kjøp/salg de siste årene så er det absolutt brukt penger i Leeds United.
Vi har imidlertid (som vanlig) fått lite igjen for de pengene som er brukt.
Ã… rykke opp med bærekraftig omsetning er et spenstig mål, og måtte vi bare lykkes i år.
-
Er det noen her inne som har sjekket lånemuligheten til vår klubb??? Det ble vel satt ett investerings-, lønns og lånetak i forbindelse med administrasjonen som skulle gjelde i to-tre år mener jeg å huske. I så fall driver KB naturligvis med bremsene på osv...

Nå har vi da vel signet noen gode spiller også? Naylor, Becchio, Robinson og Snodgrass er solide førstelagsspillere. I tillegg ser Kilkenny ut til å vise seg verdt de 150k som ble betalt for ham også. Vi har altså både brukt en del penger, og fått gode spillere igjen for pengene...

Videre tror jeg Bates er veldig glad for å endelig gå i overskudd, og han vil ikke gamble. Kan ikke helt skjønne hvordan folk ikke har lært av Ridsdales feil. Vi kunne helt sikkert blåst overskuddet vårt på Robbie Fowler og Seth Johnson nå også, men velger altså å holde igjen (hvis Robbie Fowler og Seth Johnson i det hele tatt var ledige på markedet denne vinteren).
Trundle hadde alle forutsetninger for å passe godt inn i systemet vårt, men alderen hans gjorde vel at gutta så en begrensning som rettferdiggjorde nøkternheten. I ettertid, en helt riktig avgjørelse.
Nå må dere slutte med dette forbanna tullet med Ridsdale.Hvis noen her på forumet vil at Bates skal bruke noen pund kommer alltid dette latterlige argumentet med "se hva Ridsdale gjorde".Det er da vel ikke enten eller?Finnes det ikke en mellomting??????Er det enten grisegjerrig eller skandaløs låning av penger som gjelder?Hvis Bates hadde sagt dette til Grayson så hadde det aldri, jeg gjentar ALDRI blitt noe i nærheten av det Ridsdale gjorde.Bates vet inderlig godt at å låne penger på den måten Ridsdale gjorde, og i den størrelsesorden er døden for en klubb.Derfor er det helt menigsløst å skremme med Ridsdale tilstander hver gang jeg,hb eller noen andre har etterlyst å bruke litt penger for å tilføre stallen kvalitet!
Hvis vi hadde lånt en PL spiss og sprengt lønnsbudsjettet denne sesongen- da vil dette medføre at vi får Ridsdale tilstander med £104mill i kortsiktig gjeld?
Dette minner mye om tidligere diskusjon. Debattanter på forumet er uenige om hvorvidt klassepillere var tilgjengelig/ville til League 1 Leeds i januarvinduet. Mitt perspektiv har jeg gitt uttrykk for før, og det ligner mye på EspenDale's.
Jeg kan ikke se at vi skulle ha særlig behov for å styrke stallen fra nå og ut sesongen, om ikke en helt klar klassespiller ala Freedman hadde blitt tilgjengelig. Det gjelder alle lagdeler, troppen skal være i stand til dra i land flere seire enn tap ut sesongen. Vi ser ut til å være avhengige av Beckford, men at vi får huket en "Beckford 2", d.v.s en notorisk målscorer på dette tidspunktet, har jeg ingen som helst tro på.

Ser vi på budsjett og kjøp/salg de siste årene så er det absolutt brukt penger i Leeds United.
Vi har imidlertid (som vanlig) fått lite igjen for de pengene som er brukt.
Ã… rykke opp med bærekraftig omsetning er et spenstig mål, og måtte vi bare lykkes i år.
Nå har vi da vel signet noen gode spiller også? Naylor, Becchio, Robinson og Snodgrass er solide førstelagsspillere. I tillegg ser Kilkenny ut til å vise seg verdt de 150k som ble betalt for ham også. Vi har altså både brukt en del penger, og fått gode spillere igjen for pengene...
Hvis du spiller Lotto for 200 kroner og vinner 100 kroner, har du da vunnet 100 eller tapt 100?
Klart vi har endt opp med enkelte brukbare spillere, men i det store og hele synes jeg vi har fått lite igjen for mange av de spillerkjøpene som er gjort de siste årene. For ikke å snakke om de relativt høye lønningene som er gitt til spillere som ikke en gang er funnet verdige reservelaget.
Edit; Et alternativ er selvsagt og låne 200 til Lotto og vinne 100, for deretter å ikke betale tilbake de pengene man har lånt (jfr Bates). Da kan man vel si å ha vunnet 100?! ;D
-
Støtter også EspenDale og Berlin i denne diskusjonen.
En viktig ting er hvilke spillere vi faktisk hadde tilgjengelig i januar; skulle vi kjøpe bare for å kjøpe slik Dennis Wise gjorde, eller skulle vi handle spillere som faktisk forbedret en allerede kvantitativt mettet stall med høye lønnsutgifter i daukjøtt som Peter Sweeney m.fl.
Nevnte Lee Trundle viste seg å være en håpløs signering, men jeg synes fremgangen var ok. Han var tross alt gammel, derfor var et lån riktig måte. Han hadde også en meget god statistikk for divisjonen. En proven, rutinert spiller? Noe sier meg at det var akkurat slike ting vi skrek etter rundt jul. Ja, et bomkjøp, men det vil alltid kunne skje.
Det snakkes veldig mye om unggutter fra Premier League, men det er heller ingen garanti for suksess. Senest i vinter har vi møtt et såkalt supertalent fra Everton i en kamp (Millwall?) og kommentatorene konkluderte med at denne gutten aldri vil bli en PL-spiller, da han tidlig ble byttet ut. I tillegg har Leeds et forholdsvis ungt lag, hvor en innsprøytning av rutine (Naylor) har vist seg meget utslagsgivende. Har også før lurt på hvorfor ikke unggutter fra PL kunne vært aktuelt, men å senke gjennomsnittsalderen er nok helt sikkert ikke veien å gå om ikke laget allerede har en rutinert sentrallinje. Det har ikke Leeds hatt i år. De beste av disse gutta vil også få muligheten i CCC, eller til og med i PL (Jay Simpson) om de er så gode.
Og hva er kvaliteten på den generelle spiller vi kunne kjøpe i januar? CCC? Antakelig ikke. L1? I så fall, antakelig på det jevne om vi ikke skal betale overpris, som er vanlig for januar-vinduet. Da hadde vi i alle fall ikke forbedret. Til de som maser om pengebruk: Hvilke penger? De pengene Leeds måtte ha nå, vil i høy sannsynlig grad brukes til gjenkjøp av TA i høst, når muligheten forfaller i høst. Jeg mener, i lag med flere på forumet, at stallen er god nok for opprykk som den er. Dermed blir det jo en smaksak egentlig, om man mener det burde investeres tungt på spillersiden eller ikke.
Og om vi skulle gå opp - jeg er sikker på at vi gjør det på en eller annen måte! - så vil vi tiltrekke spillere av en helt annen kvalitet. Hadde vi investert i fire-fem nye spillere i januar, hadde vi antakelig måttet rydde opp i stallen i større grad i sommer - ved et opprykk. Det er ganske merkelig å si det, ettersom jeg i går mimret til CL over tiden vi var linket til Javier Zanetti, Ronaldinho og Andryi Shevchenko, men jeg kan nesten ikke vente på dagen vi rykker opp og får spillere av Rob Hulse- og Michael Gray-kvalitet. ::)
Så kan det jo diskuteres i det vide og det brede om ikke det hadde vært bedre å investert i spillere i januar, for å sikre opprykket. For å svare på det av min egen oppfatning, mener jeg som sagt at stallen allerede var god nok, spesielt etter å ha hentet en kaptein og forsvarsklippe i Richard Naylor. Et annet argument er at investering i en haug med nye spillere ikke sikrer noe som helst, bare se på QPR, blant andre. Jeg mener om vi hadde hentet tre-fire spillere av L1-kvalitet nå i vinter, ville hindret oss å hente en eller to bedre spillere i sommer, når vi har rykket opp. Vi så jo at fjorårets buying-spree i Wises periode, hindret oss å hente spillere nå i januar, fordi vi måtte kvitte oss med lønnshøstere først. Dessverre er det få som vil ha spillere av Peter Sweeneys kvalitet, når han tjener så mye som han gjør.
Min konklusjon blir at vi kan rykke opp med dette laget og investere i bedre spillere når vi går opp. Naivt kanskje? Det er like naivt å tro at vi kan låne oss til gull. (Jeg ser at du ikke mener vi skal låne til kjøp Yeboah, og godt er det, men jeg er ikke så sikker på at klubben har penger til både spillerkjøp av 2-3millioner pund OG tilbakekjøp av TA.)

Når jeg leser ditt innlegg Kaizer(som er velformulert) sitter jeg igjen med en følelse at kvaliteten på spillere mellom PL og league1 er svært liten......og at grunnen til at Leicester leder klart må være ren flaks og bra taktikk.Vi er altså mer enn gode nok for opprykk......Dette blir vi aldri enige om.Selv om vi rykker opp via playoff mener jeg at stallen har vært for lav i kvalitet igjennom sesongen.Hadde vi ledet med over 10 poeng så hadde vi vært mer enn gode nok!

Da har jeg på ingen måte formulert meg godt nok, for poenget mitt var ikke at forskjellen mellom Premier League og League One er liten. Det jeg prøvde å si, er at å låne inn unggutter fra Premier League-lag (ikke faste PL-spillere) ikke nødvendigvis vil øke kvaliteten umiddelbart. Det er ingen selvfølge at en Arsenal-unggutt vil prege et lag, selv i League One. Håvard Nordtveit, kaptein på Arsenals reservelag, fikk ikke plass på Salamanca i spansk annen divisjon. Som jeg også skrev, mener jeg at Leeds i januar var avhengig av å hente inn rutine, ikke spillere som om tre-fire år kanskje er gode fotballspillere på seniornivå. Her har jeg også en følelse av at forumet var rimelig samstemt.
Jeg har ikke påstått at Leicester leder på flaks. De har hatt en vanvittig sterk sesong og underskriver også det flere av oss her inne mener; penger er ikke alt. Leicester er i økonomiske vansker, men presterer like fullt en nær prikkfri sesong - de har hatt en jevnt god form hele tiden! Ikke annet enn imponerende! Dette skyldes selvsagt meget god taktikk, ja. Du mener vel ikke at gode spillere er eneste som skal til? Fotball er et lagspill og uten en trener med god man-management- og taktiske egenskaper, så vinner ikke selv den sterkeste stallen ligaen. Det er på dette, jeg mener Garymac feilet stort.
Vi er ALLE her inne enige om at laget Leeds United ikke har vært godt nok i år; diskusjonen ligger i om stallen er god nok eller ikke. Jeg mener stallen er god nok og da "cooker alt down to" det taktiske og mentale. Under Grayson har vi sett en vesentlig bedring og hans statistikk for Leeds så langt, hadde gjort oss til en klar rival om direkte opprykk. Det beviser at stallen er god nok, mener jeg.
Nei, det er stor forskjell på Premier League og League One. Har heller aldri påstått noe annet. Cristiano Ronaldo mot Ben Parker? *grøss*

Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday want Pattison
(http://www.norwich.vitalfootball.co.uk/resource/teams/norwich/303_b.jpg)
Midfielder Matty Pattison could be about to leave the club on loan, according to reports today.
The former Newcastle United man was a regular under previous manager Glenn Roeder, but has effectively been frozen-out since Bryan Gunn took over first team affairs.
Skysports.com 'understands' that the club are willing to let him go, and that Saturday's opponents Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds United, Peterborough United and Oldham Athletic are all said to be interested.

Cardiff City New Bluebirds goalkeeper Taylor: I almost joined Leeds
PREMIER League winner Stuart Taylor has revealed how Cardiff City beat Leeds United in a last-ditch bid to sign him.
Taylor is desperate to kick-start his career and goes straight into the Bluebirds team for tomorrow’s big Championship showdown at Bristol City having joined Cardiff on a one-month loan deal.
Taylor has been frustrated by a lack of first-team football at Aston Villa, but the 28-year-old has a fine football pedigree, capped at under-21 level by England and winning a Premier League winners’ medal at Arsenal in 2001-02.
“There was talk of a move to Leeds and I thought I’d go for it,†said Taylor, who has been third choice at Villa behind American pair Brad Freidel and Brad Guzan.
“The manager, Martin O'Neill, pulled me aside on Thursday and said Cardiff were keen.
“No disrespect to Leeds, but Cardiff offered me Championship football and I want to test myself at the highest level possible.â€
Romford-born Taylor makes his debut at Ashton Gate after on-loan keeper Dimi Konstantopoulos suffered more misery at Norwich in midweek.
Taylor is also in line to play in the home games against Watford and Sheffield United and top performances means he could keep the shirt when Tom Heaton and Peter Enckelman are fit after the international break.
He could be eligible to play seven matches during his initial loan spell – and manager Dave Jones could even extend the deal.
And being out of contract at Villa this summer he has the chance to stake his claim for a long-term Bluebirds future.
“It looks a fantastic set-up at Cardiff, but I’m not looking beyond Bristol City to start with,†he said. “I need to play first-team football because I have been pushed aside a little bit at Villa.
“When I agreed to join Cardiff on loan I wasn’t sure which goalkeepers were here.
“There has been a lot of coming and going and those I thought were here aren’t. I was a little baffled at first.
“I am out of contract at the end of this season and Dave Jones has given me the chance to play a part in a push for promotion.
“That suits me fine and if I do well then that can only help me when it comes to landing a contract for next season.
“I had a good upbringing at Arsenal and spent a long time working with people like David Seaman and the goalkeeping coach Bob Wilson.
“I took the chance on a move to Villa, but it has not quite worked out how I wanted.
“But that’s football and now Cardiff are giving me a chance to show what I can do.â€
Taylor was one of two ’keepers to link up with City yesterday.
Plymouth’s Graham Stack, 28, is training with the Bluebirds at the request of Argyle manager Paul Sturrock.
The former Arsenal, Millwall, Leeds, Reading and Wolves ’keeper has had a bust-up with Sturrock, who wants him to stay with the Championship club, but felt a spell away would ease the situation.
“Paul Sturrock rang Dave Jones to ask if Stack could train with Cardiff for a week or so,†said a club source. “Plymouth want Stack to stay, while Sturrock wants him to keep fit.
“Dave and Paul are close friends and he agreed to help out, but Stack will be going back to Plymouth.â€

MAN CITY HUNT FABIAN DELPH
Leeds midfield wonderkid heading for Eastlands
MARK HUGHES’ Manchester City are emerging as favourites to sign Leeds starlet Fabian Delph.
The tough-tackling midfielder, 19, had both Arsenal and Newcastle watching him before the January transfer window.
But a deal was never agreed with either of those two clubs, while Manchester United and Fulham have also been linked with Delph — who has scored six goals this season.
Mega-rich City, however, will have no trouble in matching the £6million fee being demanded by Elland Road chiefs.

Trundle heldigvis sendt hjem.
http://www.leedsunited.com/page/LatestNewsDetail/0,,10273~1586477,00.html
Grayson praises striker Trundle
SIMON GRAYSON has praised Lee Trundle for his brief contribution to Leeds United, insisting the striker's loan at Elland Road was not a disappointment.
Trundle returned to Bristol City on Wednesday at the end of two months on loan with Leeds, and boss Grayson thanked him for filling what he saw as an important role during the 32-year-old's short time in Yorkshire.
Trundle joined United during the early stages of the January transfer window and made 10 appearances for the club, providing cover at a time when leading scorer Jermaine Beckford was carrying a hamstring injury and Argentinian striker Luciano Becchio was increasingly in need of a break from first-team duties.
The ex-Swansea City forward arrived at Leeds with high expectations and a goal on his full debut at Brighton opened Trundle's account quickly, but he failed to add to that effort before his second month on loan at Elland Road ended after Tuesday night's 4-0 win over Yeovil Town.
Trundle did not feature in that fixture and was not involved in either of United's previous matches against Oldham Athletic and Bristol Rovers, and he was kept from the starting line-up by a partnership in Beckford and Becchio which has rekindled the success it enjoyed earlier in the season.
Grayson said: "You need competition for places, and that's all over the pitch.
"What Lee did was give us a good opportunity to bring in a player with quality and experience, especially of League One, and he gave me the chance to give Luciano a breather.
"Luciano played in every game up to Lee coming in and Jermaine had been injured a couple of times. Suspensions were possibly around the corner for certain players so we needed players like (Trundle) in and around the place.
"Lee contributed to us winning matches and scoring goals, especially in his first few games, and we then had the bonus of Luciano coming back. It worked very well.
"We had players looking over their shoulders and knowing that if they weren't performing then they'd be out the team and players like Lee who were on the bench would step into the fold.
"But in the last few games we haven't had the opportunity or the need to put him on and we felt that it wasn't doing him much good being sat on the bench."
Trundle made seven starts for Leeds, his last coming in a 2-0 defeat at Hereford United on a night when his missed penalty was key to a frustrating result sustained by Leeds.
Becchio's impressive return to form and Beckford's completion of a three-match ban last month helped to relegate Trundle to the bench, and Grayson has made deliberate attempts to blood new and inexperienced signing Mike Grella during recent fixtures.
Grella joined Leeds on an 18-month contract at the end of the January transfer window – his first professional deal – and the American striker's outing as a substitute against Yeovil on Tuesday was his fourth for United's senior side.
Scottish winger Robert Snodgrass was also utilised as a striker ahead of Trundle against Cheltenham Town, perhaps displaying Grayson's preference of fielding players who are available to him in the longer term.
Grayson said: "Mike Grella's come to the fore a lot quicker than we expected when we signed him in January.
"He didn't look out of place again when he got a decent run in the game on Tuesday night. We've got three strikers and Snoddy can play in that position as well if we need him to. There might be one or two others coming in as well.
"But when you looked at the squad (before Trundle joined) we had Jermaine and Luciano and that was it. Enoch Showunmi has been out through illness and that was really all we had on the striker front.
"We had to have some options and you can't rely on two strikers to take you through from the start of the season to the end of it. It's not fair on them, and physically and mentally you can't do it.
"Lee contributed to us winning a few matches and I thought he was very good.
"He's contributed to getting us to where we are in the league at this moment in time."
As satisfying to Grayson as the part played by Trundle was the response of Beckford and Becchio to the presence of a proven and highly-rated goalscorer lurking behind them and competing for their places. (.....)

33år gamle Darren Powell på trial. Spiller for reservelaget i kveld.
http://www.leedsunited.com/page/LatestNewsDetail/0,,10273~1586496,00.html
Veteran defender Powell on trial with United
DARREN POWELL is set to discover next week whether Leeds United manager Simon Grayson intends to make him a full-time addition to the squad at Elland Road.
Powell is undergoing a trial with United's first-team squad after parting company with Derby County in January, and Grayson will decide on the full-back's future in the coming days after fielding him in this week's reserve team match against HartlepoADVERTISEMENTol United.
The 32-year-old completed 75 minutes of the second string clash on Wednesday, helping Leeds claim a 1-0 victory through a goal from youngster Aidan White, and Powell is a possible solution to the right-back issue at Elland Road.
Leeds have been short of right-sided defenders since club captain Frazer Richardson injured a thigh muscle during United's 2-0 win at Brighton in January, and Andrew Hughes – a versatile midfielder who has operated as a right-back on numerous occasions during his career at Elland Road – has also been unavailable due to a hamstring problem.
Grayson turned to Republic of Ireland midfielder Jonathan Douglas to fill the vacancy with both Hughes and Richardson unavailable, and although Hughes returned to full training at the start of this week, Powell is a potential alternative for United's boss to consider.
Powell left Pride Park in January at the end of his short-term contract with Derby and, as a free agent, he would be eligible to join Leeds outside the boundaries of the transfer window.
Grayson said: "He's a player who's free and who we're looking at. We've done it on numerous occasions now.
"You might as well have a look at players who are out of contract. He's got good experience and he's done a good job so far. All he needs to do is keep maintaining his fitness and we'll see where we are.
"He'll have another week with us next week and we'll make a decision then on whether he's fit enough to be with us from now until the end of the season."
Powell has played for Brentford, Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Southampton during his career, and he was heavily linked with a move to Leeds after Dennis Wise's appointment as United's manager in 2006.
He joined Derby on a free transfer in November of last year but made only five league starts before moving on two months later.
Grayson, meanwhile, paid tribute to the makeshift job carried out by Douglas at right-back, saying: "It is an area to be a bit concerned about but Jonathan has done very well.
"He's not looked out of place at all and we've managed to get away with that position because of the job Jonathan's done. It's been very successful."

Ingen av trenerne vi har hatt har latt han komme så mye som nær en plass i troppen til kampene, så han må jo virkelig kun være et "favorittkjøp" av Dennis Wise, det samme gjelder/gjaldt Curtis Weston. Det jeg har sett av han på reservelaget har også vært heller labert.
Grunnen til at han ikke blir solgt, er at han visstnok har en ganske stor lønn(?).

Er det hold i disse rykter så er vel dette en måte for Manc å lure Leeds til å selge Delph på. ???
Hvis så tilfelle,så er vel dette en bytte handel som jeg ikke ser forsterker stallen vår vesentlig.
På en annen side kunne det vært den perfekte midtbane duoen med disse to sammen i Leeds drakt. ;D

Sheehan på lån til Crewe ut sesongen.
Gjør plass på lønnsbudsjettet til en ny "god" midtstopper ?
-
"god" ja. Er som Grayson sier, når du skal ut på lånemarkedet på tampen av sesongen sånn så har du få valgmuligheter og må gå til de klubbene i PL og CCC som ikke har mer å kjempe for, hverken opp eller ned.
Hadde vært greit å få inn noen som virkelig kunne satt litt ro i laget og opptrådt med en god porsjon selvtillit. Få det til å smitte over på de andre nå på slutten.

En god midtstopper hadde vært bra nå på tampen av sesongen. Kanskje det eller en god høyreback fra PL eller CCC.

Grayson still looking to land bargain for Leeds United
SIMON GRAYSON is continuing to monitor the loan market ahead of Thursday's deadline for Football League clubs.
The Elland Road chief, who yesterday allowed Alan Sheehan to move to Crewe Alexanadra until the end of the season, has been talking to a host of managers about possible signings.
However, he has stressed that United will only make a move if the right player becomes available between now and Thursday's 5pm deadline for emergency signings.
He said: "We have been speaking to clubs and managers to check if anyone we are interested in is available.
"What we will not do is sign anyone for the sake of it. We have a good squad and there are one or two coming back from injury who will make it even more competitive."
Meanwhile, Sheehan is likely to go straight into the Crewe squad to face Milton Keynes tonight after left-back Billy Jones was handed a three-game ban for his dismissal against Leeds last weekend.
Niggling injuries have meant that Sheehan has been in and out of the Leeds team this season, limiting him to just 14 appearances.

Ønsker Sheehan all mulig hell og lykke i Crewe.
Måtte det starte godt allerede i første kampen mot Dons.
Og så får han bidra til 8 strake seire.....

Leeds keeping tabs on Carlisle striker?
(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45373000/jpg/_45373875_78351127.jpg)
Simon Grayson is being credited with an interest in signing Danny Carlton in the summer.
The 25-year-old Leeds-born forward is likely to move on at the end of the season after failing to nail down a regular place in the Carlisle side.
Carlton has spent much of the current campaign out on loan, with former club Morecambe and latterly at Darlington.

Teenage midfielder eyed
Martin O'Neill is pondering a summer move for highly-rated Leeds United midfielder Fabian Delph.
The Villa boss was at the Walkers Stadium on Monday to make a personal check on Delph, 19, in action for Leeds against Leicester City.
O'Neill could be tempted to bid for the England Under-21 starlet as he looks to strengthen his squad for an assault on Europe next season, having stated he would have needed another nine players at his disposal to have mounted a serious UEFA Cup campaign this time.
Leeds are desperate to fend off interest in their star player, with Manchester United, Newcastle and Fulham also interested.
Delph said he would not be tempted by a move to Old Trafford, but Villa would have to pay over £5million for his services.
His value could rocket if he plays well for Stuart Pearce's side in the UEFA Under-21 finals this summer.

Boss confirms Leeds striker interest
Charlton manager Phil Parkinson wants to sign Tresor Kandol permanently in the summer.
The Addicks boss is preparing for life in League One and is keen to have the striker on board after an impressive loan stint at The Valley.
"I'd love to sign him permanently," said Parkinson.
"He's been excellent and I think he'll get better as well.
"Despite his age, he hasn't had a lot of league football and I think he's got a lot of attributes."

Parkinson hoping to keep Kandol
Charlton manager Phil Parkinson admits he would like loan striker Tresor Kandol to spearhead next season's promotion bid.
(http://images.teamtalk.com/09/04/330/Southampton-v-Charlton-Tresor-Kandol-challeng_2110560.jpg)
Kandol, who joined the Addicks from Leeds on a temporary basis in January, has been unable to halt their slide towards League One but has still impressed Parkinson.
"I'd love to sign him permanently," said Parkinson.
"He's been excellent and I think he'll get better as well. Despite his age, he hasn't had a lot of league football and I think he's got a lot of attributes."
Parkinson also has defenders Darren Ward and Danny Butterfield on loan but is unsure whether he will be able to keep hold of them.
"All the loan players have done well, but finances will dictate whether we can sign them permanently," he added.

Aston Villa are lining up a £6million bid for Leeds starlet Fabian Delph as they plan for life without Gareth Barry.
The left-footed teenager is rated as one of the best prospects outside the top flight.
Villa scouts have seen the 19-year-old in action several times.
Delph's favoured position is central midfield which is attractive to Villa with Barry likely to join Liverpool this summer.
But Delph has spent most of this term playing left-wing so could also provide cover for Ashley Young..

Leeds starlet turns down Villa move
The young Leeds United sensation Fabien Delph has denied that he has any intention of moving to the Premiership with Aston Villa, despite continued speculation into his future.
The Football League’s Young Player of the Year insists that he wants to remain at Leeds for the forseeable future and intends to help them as they attempt a return to the Championship this summer.
“It’s flattering to be linked with Premier League clubs but all I’m focused on at the moment is doing well for Leeds United and learning my trade,†Delph said this weekend.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’m in the best place to do that. There have been other youngsters who left Elland Road for the lure of the Premier League early on and have disappeared off the scene.â€
Aston Villa are said to be searching for a replacement for Gareth Barry in case he joins Liverpool this summer, but it looks like they will need to turn their attention elsewhere.

Sånne utsagn liker jeg. Håper at gutten står for det han sier. Da har han virkelig skjønt dette. :D

Men dette sa han vel før snakket om Villa kom. Så teknisk sett så har han vel ikke avslått noen overgang til Villa
