Yay!  Ian Westlake completed his move to Elland Road on Friday morning. Ian joins United from Ipswich Town with Dan Harding plus cash heading in the opposite direction. The 23-year-old completed his medical on Friday before finalising the terms of a three-year contract with United. Ian will go straight into the squad for the opening day showdown with Norwich City at Elland Road. The midfielder became United's third signing of the day, following in the footsteps of Tony Warner and Geoff Horsfield, who joined on loan deals. Ian Westlake has been allocated squad number seven, Geoff Horsfield will wear 10 and Tony Warner is number 31. |

Great signing, a creative young player, what do you reckon the midfield will be tomorrow then?

Would like to see:
Westlake, Derry, Bakke, Carole
But Bakke is a doubt still apparently.

Derry is still a doubt as well according to BBC........ I'd go with RH with the midfield I'd like to see but I reckon it will be Lewis Westlake Derry Stone.....

If Derry can't play, I'd go with what you said Chris, but I'd still like to see Carole start on the right wing to see what he can do, but would have Stone on the bench to replace Carole for the last 25 minutes or so.
It's nice to have options this season, Blackwell is going to have a very welcome problem once Nicholls is fit.

Bout time we signed someone under the age of 30 for a change, warner is a top signing too but don't know if we will be able to keep him after the loan spell!!! Come on leeds 3-0 tomorrow!!!

Blackwell rates Lewis though Maybe not for much longer - it's all over the place today, (papers, internet, forums, teletext) that left winger Andy Reid is set to sign for us for £2m. If this happens I will be supremely confident that we will win the league this year. No exageration, that's what I think. This would be the best signing Blackwell has ever made. |

Hello Leeds fans, Tractor Boy here (anyone who doesn't know me, or REMEMBER me seeing as I haven't been on here since May, don't be fooled into thinking I'm a Canary!!)
Bloody good signing you lot have made here - If I'd been able to get myself a shirt with a player's name printed on the back last year, it would've been Westy's. (Probably a good job I didn't now, eh!) He's a great midfielder and he can stick them in, even though his record last year was... well... 2, I think! Seriously hope you're giving us a hefty sum of cash with Mr. Harding!!

Lol! I heard the £400k figure in several places. I'm hoping that's true, seeing as Town have feck ahl money te spend (why the hell I'm typing that in a sort of Irish accent, I've no idea)...
...must admit though, the original rumour linking you with Darren Currie and us with David Healy would've solved more of our problems...

Gotta go anyway. Here's hoping Westy smacks one in on his debut against those twats coming to Elland Road tomorrow... his last contribution for the Ipswich fans even when he's in a Leeds shirt. That'd make me smile...  Seeya! |
