It'll really kick in once the World Cup is over. Having said that, it doesn't leave much time with the season kicking off at the start of August. Not sure when players go back for pre-season training then the friendlies. Would be nice to have the new faces in for them - get them settled and used to systems and team mates. Is kick off the 5th?

I'm going to miss the first two games of the season this season. This lack of activity is bloody boring! I hope that when we do start signing it'll be worth is.

Yeah I mean the holiday must be over, start signing some players or we'll be going nowhere, I hope KB's got his eye on some world cup players and that is why he is so slow to start on the transfer market.

Any excuse to watch the world cup. Is he in Germany? I've already seen a few players we should get in. Fernando Torres of spain for £25m is a bargain!

Yeah i heard that to on Sky Sports, I hope we dont sell him as he's a 20 goal striker when fully fit but i prefer the pairing of Creswell and Healy in a 4-4-2 but Blackwell always has to play Hulsey so I doubt blackie would like to see his fave player leave.

Second that - no point investing in a quality striker to let him go after one season. Norwich are a good club with cracking fans, but leave Elland Road? My only concern is that if any offer is big enough, then the 'till pings open and a receipt is issued' - thank you for shopping at LUFC!

Rui Marques didn't look half bad the other day for Angola... came on as a late sub and got stuck in to a lot of tackles, and also managed to get forward and had a rocket of a shot which wasn't too far off... Wonder if Blackwell would be interested in him.

Ben Kosky/Kilburn Times Leeds interest still lukewarm 21 June 2006
LEEDS United have not yet tabled a formal bid for Danny Shittu, despite reports that the QPR defender is poised for a move to Elland Road.Shittu has been valued at £3m by Rangers chairman Gianni Paladini, but so far only one firm offer for the player, from Watford, has been made - and immediately rejected. Although the Yorkshire club have indicated an interest in both Shittu and transfer-listed midfielder Marc Bircham, both players are expected back for pre-season training at Loftus Road next week. Shittu's agent, Warwick Horton, told the Times: "We hear rumours and read the stories like everyone else, but I've had no contact from QPR to say they've agreed a deal or spoken to any club." I think Danny's enjoying his time at QPR, but he is an ambitious player and, like any player in the Championship, he has desires to play at the top level."If there was an opportunity for him to move to a Premiership club and they were able to agree a fee with QPR, it's something he would have to consider. But nothing's happened at the moment." ...

No their not but they are being clever and over pricing the donkey from the start so that if they drop the price to say 2million it will look like they have done ok and let a big price off when really he's worth nothing more than 1mill so they make a sneaky 1mill......personally i think he's crap and we can do better

he only looks good because the QPR team is relegation material, and he's slightly better.

Coventry bought that Ward for 1mill from West Ham......i reckon we should go out and buy the good up and coming youngsters like that......i'd like us to get in Davenport from Spurs and maybe Huddlestone on loan
