*Latest transfer gossip...

Nah but local rivals can ensure the weaker gets battered.

Players clubs have an eye on can be made cheaper through relegation.
 
Also, I suppose you could develop a Serie A style situation where no one knows who owns who and the whole things just a big mess of back-scratching and over-paid average quality overly-defensive players.
 
mcmanaman has left real madrid by mutual consent, according to radio five

man city or everton being the likely destinations - bbc reckon man city, but if he is as much of a bluenose as he claims he will sign for us
 
the transfer window closes at 5PM today so you'll have to keep biting your nails til then....

how's matthew kilgallon doing for the hammers?
 
fuck its only spains that has closed then.

bollocks!

hasn't got on the pitch yet as far as i know. he is only with us for cover and beacuse we are playing 4-3-3(connely mellor and defoe how iscary is that for div 1 teams!!!!!!!) and horlock is filling in at left back then we still have dailey and pearce in the centre so he is on the bench.

yup less than 7 hours to go and Ian Harte and Nick Barmby are STILL AVAILABLE!!!!!

could somebody put Leeds fans out of our misery and buy them PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?

I wonder why Kilgallon agreed to the deal then - I thought the idea was for him to get some regular first team experience....
 
no way will the let Defoe go Kained , that is unless they want Upton Park to be demolished , we have put up with a lot but that really would tip the barrel.
looks like we finding our way a bit Defoe and Connolly look a real handful , I just hope whoever gets the nod will have the balls to keep with three up front , it worked the end of last season it`s lookin good again.

we`ll take Harte , we need a laftie but we cant pay you anything , who do you fancy in exchange ( not defoe )
 
i know mate i know. But with our board you just never know. If man utd came in with an offer of something a bit silly like 15million+ I wouldnt be shocked if it was accepted.

Although I think the fact that we need defoe to help us get a new manager would help.

hutchinson for harte!!!!!!(or prefreable penent or richardson if arse or man ure browse the boards!!!!)

kiginton agreed beacuse he was more likely to get a place in the team i think. As far as I know he was always signed as cover in case some got injured though.

I think we should give him away - and I'd happily volunteer to drive him down to upton park myself!
 
sorry i don't know what i was thinking about harte can't defend, thats the last thing the hammers need.

umm however if someone wanted to take hutchinson off our hands then its all good.

If you bring him as far as Birmingham I`ll meet you at the service station and take him to Upton Park myself
;)

seriously why are leeds fans so anti Harte ? aalways used to score a few and his free kicks were blinding , guess he just can`t defend ? He`d fit in just fine !!
 
harte can't defend and he's so slow he almost goes backwards....

he's always the weakest link in our team when he plays - eg his first game of the season against southampton last tuesday was a typical harte performance. their right winger (fernandez?) soon sussed that he could get past harte with ease and leave him for dead every time - and by the second half most of the saints attacks were coming down the right. ditto against middlesbrough on saturday - it was weird watching danny mills motoring past him like he wasn't there....

and his ability from set-pieces is vastly over-rated, mainly because he did score a few great goals from free kicks during our champions league season a couple of years ago and that's all a lot of people have ever really seen of him. but generally speaking he's much less consistent than he was that year....

to be fair he does get some good crosses in from the left and is pretty good in the air but defensively he's just not good enough and his lack of pace is a major liability.

one of david o'leary's biggest failings as a manager was the fact that he had a soft spot for harte and while spending silly money on players we often clearly didn't need he never bought a decent left back.

reid's just brought in didier domi and the sooner he's fully match fit the better!

looks like you may be getting your wish granted , just flashed up that Harte in talks with Pompey for a loan move .
 
Kained. with a new manager supposed to be in place for the next game

William Hill offering this morning

Pearce , Kinnear 3 - 1 favourites
Dowie 4 - 1
loads of others including Alf Garnett at 1500 -1 but looks probably one of the above

wadya recon , I think Pearce would probably be my choice
 
LUFC have made 3 more loan signings over the weekend:
striker Cyril Chapuis (from Marseille)
midfielder Salomon Olembe (from Marseille)
defender Roque Junior (from AC Milan)

and sadly, Nigel Martyn joined Everton this morning. a great servant to Leeds United who kept us up almost single-handed during George Graham's first season in charge (and the best goalkeeper we've ever had imho) but it's probably best for both club and player that he moves on now. he'll get a great reception from the United fans when we next play the blues....

meanwhile there's only 4 and a half hours to go....
do I hear a bid for ian harte?
c'mon - we'll throw in nick barmby for free.... :D
 
yeah stuart pearce isn't a bad shout, not the most expereinced of managers but hes played for the club, knows and has the respect of the players and isn't called bryan robson, george graham, or graham taylor!!!


stuart pearce with jullian dicks as assistant!!!!

They could work wonders with Repka
 
what, by burying him in concrete? :D

Pompey sign Srnicek on a free...

AND...

we just got Jason Roberts (Baggies) on a season long loan...

Ithankyew.

(C'mon Harry, buy Konchesky)

and we can't have Harte on loan because we've got our quota of two Loan players...

and do you really think we'd buy him?
 
Yes buy konchesky you'll need someone to wash matty taylors boots when he gets back from the doctors!!!!

konchestky is utter utter shite mate!


tongues yeah agreed i think pearce and dicks might be able to show the bloke how to either tackle properly!!!!

Either that or let the terminator lump him one or six!

HARTE BROKEN!
by David Allen

IAN Harte's proposed loan move to Premiership newcomers Portsmouth has collapsed. The Irish international, 26, had been set to join Harry Redknapp's outfit on a season-long loan, and the deal had been agreed between the clubs.

However, it has emerged that FA rules, which allow only two domestic loan deals, have scuppered the transfer. Pompey already have Chelsea' Alexei Smertin on loan at Fratton Park, and completed a deal for West Brom's Jason Roberts earlier on Monday.

Both United and Portsmouth had believed the rule were for two Premiership stars, and not including Nationwide players.

"It's a blow because we were all set to bring Ian in and both clubs were extremely happy with the circumstances of the deal," said Pompey chief executive Peter Storrie.

"It was a simple misinterpretation by both Harry and Peter Reid of some fairly confusing rules. We are sorry to have lost out on Ian but the rules as they are, there is nothing we can do."

:(
 
I'm sure that this will interest the Evertonians in this forum. I've just read from the BBC Sports website that Kevin Kilbane has joined Everton from Sunderland.

Leeds for division one then :D
 
no way! with roque junior and didier domi on board I'm hoping we won't be seeing much of him.

it's a shame the deal didn't work out though cos it would have been great to actually look forward to ian harte playing when we meet pompey - and the sight of pennant (if he's still with us) or even uncle gary skinning him time after time would have been sweet....
