MIR17 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Trevor Benjamin was one of those players for us who was so painfully out of his depth that you kind of felt sorry for him and so he became somewhat of a cult hero.

Barnzy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Think this week will see the end of it either way anyway, our board said they want it sorted by August.

Get on Teletext! Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 mears and eagles off to bolton tomorrow for £3 million combined. both only had a year left on their contract and appear to have made it known they wouldnt sign any kind of extension so cashing in was our only option really. odd signings by coyle though, cant see either of them being anything other than bench-warmers and i would imagine £3 million if a large chunk of their budget. a lot of work for howe to do now if we have any chance of pushing for promotion. eagles, mears, alexander, carlisle, iwelumo and cork gone and only ben mee in. :-/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to think maybe it would be best for him to go - we've got other decent strikers but really really need a centre back and left back. I agree, SGE has come out and said he's almost certain a couple more players are coming in before the end of the season and that if we don't land Maynard we have other options for a striker, so I think we will either get him or move onto the other option(s) by the end of the week.

MIR17 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Who else you looking at? Absolutely no idea, SGE not naming names. Though 2 names who have been briefly linked in papers etc. are Ched Evans, who I can't say excites me and Billy Sharp who I'd be happy with. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake also been mentioned a bit on one of our forums, but probably baseless and doubt he would come anyway, though a 2 time Championship golden boot winner would obviously have the potential to be a fantastic signing!

Barnzy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'd want Ebanks-Blake if Maynard went to be fair, not that keen on Ched Evans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIR17 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Nah, me neither, though SGE has worked with him before, so knows what he is about more than I do so I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'd be very happy with any of Maynard, Sharp or SEB though. Of course, it's all about how they perform with Leicester, as said earlier with DJ Campbell a player can be great at one club and not or another or vice versa. Nugent could just end up having a great season and being the man we need for all we know at this point. It will probably end up being none of those now and someone completely different , but I'm sure that we'll definitely be getting another striker in, probably before the start of the season, but certainly before the end of the transfer window.

G-Man11 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Forgot to mention the other day that we appointed Lee Carsley as a youth coach. Quite a weird appointment as we actually released him and he was unattached for about 2 months before we then approached him to take up a coaching role. I even saw an interview he gave to Sky a few weeks back about saying he was looking at finding a new club and how it was the first time he'd been without a club. Anyway thought he probably had another year in him and he seemed to want to continue playing so I'm surprised to see him take up a pure coaching role (as opposed to player/coach). On a different subject the media rarely take much interest in us but I think they've actually now completely forgotten about us. We've only been linked to 2 players all summer both of which we actually signed (also the links only came from the local paper as well). I mean I haven't seen a transfer rumour involving us for about 3 weeks now . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggins Top Boys Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 you'd be surprised mate, i've got it on good authority that our wage cap is 10k per week and only 2 or 3 players are on thatjohnson left because he was on 6k per week and wanted 8k per week and we wouldn't offer it, he's now at norwich on god knows what take into account that we already pay the highest ticket prices and have the highest gates, you've gotta ask as a leeds fan where is the money going? museums hotels etc? you will see a bit of change at leeds this season with bates honeymoon period coming to an end, people are seriously getting fed up of the crook so how comes the Alan Smith, Woodgate rumours etc were given so much airtime? you could still outdo us for a player mind you, it's getting really frustrating now.
