Emne: RYKTER: Spillere inn - Spiller ut, del IV

[Leedsfan]

Andy Robinson er ingen klassisk ving dessverre. Ser mer for meg at Robbo er en Macca light. Godt overblikk, gode pasninger og scorer en del mål. Han er visstnok ikke særlig rask. Redd vi får en ny ving som trekker mer inn i midten av banen enn å ligge ute på krittmerket, true bakrom og dra av et par mann før man slår et utsøkt innlegg.

auren

Fikk ikke sett mye av innleggsfoten hans, men han har da teknikk og en grei fart. Hvis du forbinder en "typisk ving" med en Huseklepp type så lignet ikke Robinson helt:)

Er dette fortsatt en diskusjonsforum?

Da er vi i gang igjen!?
Dette er en reprise av vår tidligere diskusjon. Mange innlegg og tråder den gang, som jeg ikke føler noe behov for å gjenta. (http://www.leedsunited.no/forum/index.php?topic=9607.0)

Kjernen er grei - Du mener at Forum skal være et rent diskusjonsforum, jeg mener at Forum må mer enn gjerne ha plass til mye, mye annet - bl.a. en slags nyhetsformidling om stort og smått rundt klubben vår.
Uenighet og diskusjon er bra, det bringer oss framover. Sjøl om jeg nå sitter med en Loop-følelse.

Dette er min måte å bidra inn i Forum på.
Jeg gidder ikke bruke tid på å diskutere urealistiske spillerrykter, hvem som er størst Judas av Rio eller Smith eller bruke tid på å kritisere/kommentere andre bidrag. Jeg har grei oversikt på nyhetsfronten - og deler gjerne.
Ref. tidligere diskusjoner er det selvsagt mange meninger, men jeg lever fortsatt i den tilstand om at det finnes noen der ute som synest dette er greit. Og det er godt nok for meg!

At du ikke liker det, er synd
Mitt råd Peacock, er - som sist - les det som interesserer deg, hopp over det andre.
Mange av disse klippene er samlet i to tråder, men forekommer selvsagt i andre. Bør ikke være så vanskelig å bruke Scroll eller Page Dn.

"Fulham striker David Healy is a target for former club Leeds.
The 28-year-old Northern Ireland international does not appear to have a future at Craven Cottage under Roy Hodgson and Leeds manager Gary McAllister hopes to tempt him back to Yorkshire."

Hmmm.. Tviler sterkt på at det kommer til å skje, dessuten må vi nok bla opp ganske mye penger for å signe ham. Men at han leverer varene i L1 er det vel ingen tvil om.

Vel.. Da må vi huske at han ofte spilte i en uvant vingrolle. Det er foran kassa Healy er god, i tillegg til at han har noen saftige skudd også utenfor 16-meteren.

Ønsker folket at vi legger inn en million på Healy eller Riordan?

Elding not stopping at Crewe

Earlier in the day Elding was bemoaning his lack of opportunities at Elland Road, but he has turned down the chance to join Crewe Alexandra.
Gary Mc.Allister has decided that Anthony Elding doesn’t feature in his plans for the coming season, and the boss is looking to bring in his own choice of strikers for the promotion challenge ahead. Elding was brought to the club by Dennis Wise during the January transfer window, and the former Stockport man was perhaps unfortunate that the poison dwarf chose to leave the club for Newcastle immediately afterwards.
Elding, started just three matches under McAllister, and told the Yorkshire Post that  he wasn’t given a fair crack of the whip by the Leeds manager, and that he is determined to prove him wrong. He said "I'm gutted. I never got a chance and I feel a bit hard done by. They obviously paid money to bring me in to play but, from the minute I've got here, I've hardly played. I've been on the bench, but when I've come on, it's been for a minute or five minutes. What can I do in that time? If I'm going to be judged on that, then there is no point.
"Gary has made it quite clear he is bringing his own people in. I said to Gary, 'look, I've got a two-year contract, I want to honour that contract, I want to stay at Leeds United. But it's no good me sitting around if I'm not going to be part of something. I'm a striker, I need to play football. I don't want to leave – 100 per cent. I love the club, my family love the club and it's a massive club to play for. But at the end of the day I'm a footballer and whether it's Leeds United or Boston United I need to play football”.
Leeds had agreed terms to sell the player to Crewe, who were one of the other clubs we beat for Elding’s signature in January. But the latest news is that Elding’s talks with the Cheshire club have broken down. The 26-year-old told the Yorkshire Post ''I went for talks at Crewe which didn't really go that well. If I am going to leave, I've got to get it right for me. 'I'm 26 and If I go somewhere where I might not play and it's not right, it's going to be a bad move. 'I need to do it so it's right for me and my family, so that I'm playing football every week and enjoying it and there's also the financial side.''
Ah yes, the financial side. It could well be that the stumbling block is that the wages Crewe can afford are far less than the amount he is already on at Elland Road. His Leeds contract still has another two years to run, which could be another reason he is keen to stay at Elland Road and fight for his place.
But with Millwall, Darlington, Hartlepool and Leyton Orient all reportedly interested in the player, the chances are that Elding will be able to find a club that is more to his liking, and will have left Elland Road by the start of the new season.

Freedman set for Palace talks
Striker Dougie Freedman is set to hold talks with boss Neil Warnock to determine whether he has a future at Crystal Palace.
The 34-year-old striker spent the end of last season on loan at Leeds after Eagles boss Warnock opted to use the club's young attacking stars such as Victor Moses and Sean Scannell instead.

Crunch time looms for Freedman



Leeds United loan star Dougie Freedman's future will be decided at the end of this month – when he holds crunch talks with Crystal Palace.
The Whites are awaiting developments and are thought to be keen to tie up a permanent deal for the 34-year-old if he leaves Selhurst Park.

Derby To Pocket Davies?
Derby have reportedly signed former Leeds target Steve Davies on a three-year-deal at Pride Park. 
The 20-year old Tranmere winger was sidelined due to a serious knee injury last season but Rams chairman of football Adam Pearson recently said: "Davies is on a Bosman, but he's also under 24 so it would go to tribunal if we don't come to an agreement. We probably would be just as happy for it to go to tribunal to secure him."

Leeds United linked with Scottish duo

Leeds United are being linked with moves for sought-after Dundee United pair Mark Kerr and Noel Hunt.
Five clubs are understood to be battling it out for midfield anchorman Kerr, 26, out of contract at Tannadice, including Gary McAllister's Leeds and Lancastrian duo Preston and Burnley, managed by McAllister's fellow Scots Alan Irvine and Owen Coyle.
The Scottish B international – in outstanding form for the Terrors last term – is available on a Bosman transfer, with Coventry, Leicester and Doncaster also rumoured to be in the hunt.
Preston and Burnley appear to be in the box seat, with Clarets boss Coyle knowing plenty about Kerr following his time as reserve-team boss at Tannadice, and he also played and managed him during a short spell at Falkirk. Kerr has also been linked with Hearts and Aberdeen, but the club would prefer selling to a club south of the border.
Meanwhile, Elland Road could also be a destination for £400,000-rated United striker Noel Hunt, 24, who is believed to also be interesting Reading – where his brother Stephen plays – Burnley, Blackpool and Nottingham Forest.
Hunt, keen to play in England, hit 18 goals for the Terrors last term and was subject of a failed £175,000 bid from Blackpool in the January transfer window.

Leeds United track Dagenham left back

Highly-rated Dagenham left-back Scott Griffiths is attracting the attention of Leeds United, according to reports.
The 22-year-old hotshot has been strongly linked with Reading and Ipswich – rumoured to be preparing bids – although Daggers chairman Steve Thompson insists it's pure speculation.
Griffiths – also being tracked by Southampton and Charlton – has three years to run on his current contract and the Daggers would want a substantial transfer fee, although Thompson said they would not stand in any player's way.
In-demand midfielder Abdul Osman – who was reportedly been tracked by Leeds – has signed for League One rivals Northampton.
The 21-year-old, a free agent after leaving troubled Gretna, has signed a two-year deal.

Leeds to nip in for £500K Derby winger?

Plymouth Argyle's interest in Gary Teale looks to be cooling
The Scotland international is surplus to requirements at Derby and ended last season on loan at Home Park.
Argyle boss Paul Sturrock, quoted in the Derby Evening Telegraph, said however: "The transfer fee is a real problem at this minute in time.
"Gary has been a high earner for a long time so I have got to weigh up the whole scenario. We have been talking to Derby and to his agent to see if there is any middle ground. That's where it stands."
Leeds could now make a bid and are also being linked with former striker David Healy.

Leeds United linked with Gretna midfielder
According The Sun, Leeds United are in a race with Brighton & Hove Albion and Ipswich Town to sign Abdul Osman from Gretna. Who? From where?
As former SPL-club Gretna are in what, sadly, may be a terminal administration it is probably the case that Osman is no longer their player. Usually administration means no wages paid and under League rules players become free agents and so technically Osman would not be signed from Gretna.

United wait for Phillips
Leeds United's prospects of landing Kevin Phillips will become clearer this week when the striker's agent holds fresh contract talks with West Bromwich Albion.

QPR go for West Brom's Phillips
QPR are chasing West Brom striker Kevin Phillips.
The News of the World says R's boss Iain Dowie is seeking talks with the Baggies contract rebel.

Veteran striker could snub Leeds interest

West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace says he is confident that Leeds target Kevin Phillips will sign a new deal at the Hawthorns.
The 34-year-old striker is out of contract at the end of June, enabling him to leave on a free transfer, with a host of clubs keeping tabs on his situation including the Whites, Stoke and QPR. 
But Peace has stated that there is a 'willingness from both sides' to agree on a new deal and Albion remain hopeful that the striker's future still remains at the Hawthorns. 
Peace told the Birmingham Mail: "It's a work in progress and we will get to a conclusion one way or the other. 
"Either Kevin will go with our blessing to wherever he is going because we have had a very full negotiation, or Kevin will stay and everything is fine.

Bates sets up McAllister meeting   

Leeds United have confirmed they will hold a meeting on Tuesday 17 June to discuss the club's transfer targets.
Manager Gary McAllister, chairman Ken Bates and technical director Gwyn Williams are all expected to attend.
McAllister took over at Leeds after January's transfer deadline and is understood to be keen to finally bring in his own players.
Leeds have already been linked in the media with strikers Dougie Freedman, Andy Cole and Kevin Phillips.

[auren]

The Leeds United Trinity of chairman Ken Bates, manager Gary McAllister and technical director Gwyn Williams will all be present as the club hold a Council of War next Tuesday to hammer out a definitive list of preferred Summer transfer targets.

Gary McAllister has made no secret of his search for another 20 goals-a-season striker, with several prominent names being speculated on by the media. It seems Leeds fans are clear on which option the United boss should pursue. Celtic's Derek Riordan polled 63% of the total votes in a GloryGloryLeedsUnited.com survey of the leading contenders.

The 25 year old former Hibernian star's career has stalled with the Hoops, and the 2005 Scottish Young Player of the year is frustrated with his current lack of first-team opportunities, saying recently: 'I've virtually chucked it at Celtic, what's the point when I'm not getting a chance.' The only obstacle to a potential move by Leeds would seem to be the transfer fee, with the club unwilling to meet Celtic's one million pound valuation of the player.

Har ikke fått med meg at han har uttalt at han tilsynelatende ønsker å spille for Leeds. Hvis dette er sant, så er nok en overgang meget mulig.

[h.b]

Synes her at vi bør grave dpt i lommene etter denne Riordan. Hvis bates mener alvor av at han vil satse, så bør vi jaggu meg matche denne summen som Celtic forlanger. Ellers går han til en annen klubb. Ved et opprykk, så er denne summen inntjent så det holder

The two clubs had agreed a fee for the player, but a statement issued by Crewe claimed the 26-year-old would rather remain in Yorkshire.
The statement said: "Although the club were able to meet the player's personal terms, we are led to believe that he wishes to remain with Leeds United and fight for his place."

Leeds in no rush to sign players 

Manager Gary McAllister insists Leeds United will not be forced into panic-buying ahead of the new season.
McAllister has confirmed his interest in three strikers - West Brom's Kevin Phillips, Sunderland veteran Andy Cole and Celtic forward Derek Riordan.
He said: "That is the calibre of player we are looking to bring in. There's a wee bit behind all of those guys.
"The common denominator is the quality. Much as we'd like to get some business done quickly it's not imperative."

Leeds United are weighing up a move for Sheffield United striker Luton Shelton.
The Jamaican international is understood to be interesting the Elland Road club as Gary McAllister prepares to begin his close-season recruitment in earnest.

But the South Yorkshire club would look to recoup a sizeable portion of the £1.85m fee they paid to Swedish club Helsingborgs for his services last year.

The 22-year-old was signed in January 2007 by former Blades manager Neil Warnock, but has started just seven league matches since and featured on only three occasions under current boss Kevin Blackwell.

The ex-Leeds manager has a number of experienced strikers available to him, including James Beattie and Rob Hulse, and Shelton may find his opportunities limited again.

Shelton has two years remaining on his contract and the talented youngster is believed to be interesting a number of other clubs.

His tally of nine goals in 19 appearances for Helsingborgs prompted his move, but Leeds would have to secure a work permit for the forward if they sign him on a permanent basis.

McAllister's only signing to date has been Andy Robinson on a free transfer from League One champions Swansea City, but a number of other new arrivals are expected to follow. Leeds have already been linked with strikers Kevin Phillips, Derek Riordan and Andy Cole.

Shelton struck twice in Jamaica's 7-0 victory over the Bahamas in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday and he has scored four goals in 10 starts for Sheffield United.

Hmmm... Vet ikke helt. Sikkert et bra talent, men det er vel proven players Macca er interessert i her, og Shelton er vel kanskje ikke akkurat det. Dessuten blir han fort dyr, sikkert mellom 1-1,5 million pund. Da er det bedre å cashe ut for Riordan.

Bates ready for busy summer

Leeds United chairman Ken Bates expects a number of players to be moving in and out of Elland Road during the summer period.
Bates met with manager Gary McAllister and technical director Gwyn Williams on Tuesday to lay down plans for another promotion assault in League One next season.
Bates told Yorkshire Radio: "It was a very important meeting. We sat down and reviewed once again every player on the books from the 17-year-olds to the 35-year-olds.
"It was very important that I understood what Gary was looking for and what Gwyn thought we could get. We had a few hours of very intense discussions.
"We're not naming names because we dont want to alert other clubs as to what we are looking to do. We know who we want to bring to Elland Road and we also know whose contracts we want to improve and who we want to move on."
Leeds' only summer signing so far has been Swansea winger Andy Robinson, who opted to stay in League One after helping the Welsh side win promotion to the Championship.
