Warner in Leeds move EXCLUSIVE by Phil Hay Leeds United today strengthened their goalkeeping options by capturing Tony Warner on a one-month loan from Fulham. The former Cardiff City and Millwall keeper has prevented a potential crisis for Kevin Blackwell by agreeing a short-term stay at Elland Road. The United boss has a doubt over first-choice Neil Sullivan ahead of tomorrow's clash with Norwich City, but Warner will provide Blackwell with a suitable replacement if Sullivan fails to recover from a dead leg. For the full story, see tonight's Yorkshire Evening Post www.leedstoday.net/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=46&ArticleID=1674062

I wouldn't say it's a crisis, we have Ward, how many keepers do we need? But ok good, I guess.

What type of keeper was you expecting on loan Jimbo, for a third choice keeper he's a damned good one. It is only a month after all. To quote the Life of Brian "There's no pleasing some people".

On the Official site it says Sullys doubtful and that Warner is being plunged straight into the squad........ its easier for a keeper to drop straight into the team though..... is he any good, he used to play for Millwall?

To quote the Life of Brian "There's no pleasing some people". lol I don't know anything about him! I was hoping for someone I knew! is he actually second or third choice? TONY WARNER DOB CLUB FULHAM HEIGHT 1.93m POSITION GOALKEEPER WEIGHT 87kg SQUAD NUMBER 30 PROFILE Warner joined Fulham from Cardiff City, initially on a six-month loan-deal, in August 2005. Started his career with Liverpool and was brought to Craven Cottage as emergency cover after Jaroslav Drobny and Mark Crossley sustained knee injuries during the club's pre-season tour to the United States. Experienced former Millwall stopper has a commanding presence in the box and has already proved he is able to do a job at the highest level. Made his Barclays Premiership debut in the goalless draw against Birmingham City on the opening day of the 2005/2006 season and impressed enough thereafter to secure a permanent deal, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract in January 2006.

Maybe, we definitely need to sign a keeper. Whether this gy fits the bill or not remains to be seen. I saw an interview we Blackwell on Sky last night saying we are still looking to sign another 3 or 4 players before the window shuts. Cool

Bear minimum we need is a Goalkeeper, leftback, and central defender. Another striker would be nice, but to be honest, I'd rather more money was allocated to buying better defenders as our strike force is pretty balanced now, (plus striker Danny Rose might be stepping up to the first team this season from the academy who Ken Bates seems to rate highly)

Nothing more has been said since Foxe returned to London "due to personal issues". So far as I'm aware Blackwell wants to have talks with regards to potentially signing him as soon as whatever is going on with his personal issues is sorted out.

Good signing. I think Warner is an excellent keeper.
Ward has gone to Sunderland
