The Transfer News.

[*Leeds 4 LiFe*]

Signed Okon? Yuck.

At the moment, Venables has the philosophy "Oh you played under me once, I will buy you!"

Okon is as rusty as a '73 toyato.

Was Alpay the guy that took out Dyer on the last week of the season and almost made him miss the world cup?

[Captain Splarg]

It wasn't alpay, i can't remember who it was, but they played for Southampton

Nigel Martyn

I think Robinson's time has come. Maybe we can sign another Aussie. By the way, the 3rd string goalie is an Aussie.

Get rid of him, we have Harpal Singh and Michael Bridges.

[Spartak]

Why does Venables insist on leaving Keane on the bench. IMO, Keane is the best player Leeds has and will make Leeds look like fools when he leaves Elland Road and tears up the Premiership. Allan Smith is severely overrated, the only reason he starts is because he is from Leeds. Fowler is on the downside of his career, Bridges couldn't shine Keanes boots. Viduka is a good player, he would be the ideal partner for Keane.

Just shut up.

Have you watched a Leeds game this year and seen Alan, it is spelled Alan, play?

I love how you make the judgement of Bridges since he hasn't even played in over a year and a half, and is not even taking up a starting position, or even playing time for Keane so far.

Keane's a cry baby and should have left when he had his chance. He could be playing every minute for Sunderland.

Keane's playing time is just going to go down.
Bridges will be thrown out there to see if his 20+ goals per season can be rekindled in the Premiership. Fowler will give Keane and run for his money when he comes back from injury. And good old Harpal Singh will get the rest of the mop up time towards the end of the season. Keane should bite the bullet. And you should be quiet and wait for the Serie A to start.

"But if someone wants to come to me and make something, on the club's terms, then it's possible it will go through."



We should just take the money and run

Should have news within 24 hours, they are sure lost some money on him, but he needs to go.

Teddy Lucic
http://www.leedsunited.com/lufcnews.asp?article=105688

Terry Venables has made a late move in the transfer market by signing Swedish defender Teddy Lucic on a three month loan deal.
The 29-year-old left-back joins the club from AIK Copenhagen and played in all of Sweden's World Cup games in Japan and South Korea and joins The Whites from AIK Stockholm.

He also spent two seasons with Seria A side Bologna and also played for Sweden in France 98'.

Lucic was linked with United last season, and is expected to provide competition for Ian Harte, but can play across the back four.

[BerwynBlazers]

Oh, the transfer rumors starting again...
