I've heard of a few contacts in London that if the deal for Damien Duff goes through then Spurs will let Andy Reid go with Leeds apparently waiting ready to pounce in a possible loan deal for the season. Could be a good acqusition for the left side and maybe we could operate Lewis in a left back role like he plays for U.S.A. Apparently Dan Harding been playing well in his last two matches in place of Lewis, so i can't undertand why we would even consider letting him go, he's a young up and coming Left back if given the chance can become a good player for us lot! Seemed from the report last nite that the team grinded out a win, good to see Robbie Blake hitting the net again, hopefully he can be a big player for us this season! Here are the probable in and out that i've heard today:
Andy Reid to sign on Loan til the end of the season if the Duff transfer goes through!
David Healy to sign for Derby with Tommy Smith heading to us in a swap deal, this friday i've heard!
David Livermore to sign a three year contract on wed when he's passed his medical! Bad deal for us but lets hope he's better than Gregan!
Apparantly Leeds are gonna hijack the David Thompson transfer to W.B.A. and could sign on a free in the next few days!
These rumours are what i've heard from people who work at Leeds and a few people i know in London! Hopefully they aren't a load of rubbish, cause us Leeds fans need something to cheer about cause the signings ain't been good so far!

Not seen much of Livermore but i reckon he`s worth a go - I would love us to sign Andy Reid and David Thompson on loan but I just can`t see it happening
Finally Healy in a swap deal for Tommy Smith - err no thankyou !!!!!!!
Healy will get us the goals if we could only get the ball to him in the right areas - also Helps if Blackwell plays him in his natural position
Agrred we do need some decent additions to the current squad but only if we can afford them - don`t need this club to go back to what was almost ruin

Mixed feelings about your rumour of Healy for Smith..... Healy is one of my fave players but Smith is a good player....
Theres a chance Livermore may play left mid, being predominately left footed.......
Hmmm I like Gregan and thought he played alright last season.....

Livermores best position if you can call it that is a ball winning central midfielder. |

Besides apparantly Blackwell said he brought Livermore in to play in a position he wasn't happy with last season??? |

Surely he can't be thinking of dropping Lewis for Livermore, that would be a real joke! Eddie played class last season and if we had a decent right winger, hopefully we've got a snip in Carole for free but i can't comment til i've seen him in competitive matches, then we would be a force if we could get a decent attacking midfielder!Diamond 4-4-2 as gotta be the system this season, no 4-5-1 that is just so negative it's unreal! The team i would pick if transfers happen are as follows:
Sullivan
Kelly Kilgallon Butler Harding
Derry
Tommy Smith Eddie Lewis
Gussieppe Rossi
Hulse R Blake
If we play to this system then we will be a real force this season, the diamond formation will work well for the type of players we've got and i really think that this as gotta be tested this season!

lewis was good for the first half of the season, then his form dropped and didnt return, that happened at christmas, he did score a few free kicks, but he was largely dissapointing

If we can get a couple of decent players on loan it could sway alot of fans who are currently not buying season tickets because they have not seen positive moves on the transfer market . If we got another few thousand buying season tickets it would be enough to actually buy a decent player .

To be honest I don't think you can say its signings that make the difference about people getting season tickets, I'd say it was the performances at the end of last season which were woeful especially that poor run and the shocking performance in the playoff final.....
Besides season tickets at this current time are more than what they were this time last season.... A lot of people won't want to pay a lot of money to watch shite football in which we played most of last season......
I expect crowds to rise slightly but they wont rise drastically unless the performances are convincing and we play at least some attacking football and show some organisation....

I was looking forward to seeing some decent signings this summer, and although I hold out hope for the Rossi deal, and reckon Carole could do a good job, these signings haven't really materialised. However I'm still fairly optimistic about the coming season as we've got a team which got to the Play off final last season and who will have had a full pre-season under them playing together.
Fingers crossed we'll get a good start to the season and go from strength to strength!!

To be honest we should be expecting at least one more new face and a loan signing I'd say... Fergies quoted saying hes not sure if Rossi will go out on loan now with Van Horseface off but he would still preferably like to loan Rossi out for 6 months..... Theres 2 weeks until the season and we still even signed players after the season started last year....
