So along with Eddie Gray that'll be two midfielders in the commentary box or is Eddie being released?

He has been sacked for making lewd comments about Suzannah Bates.

According to the commentator in the Celtic game tonight Rangers have pulled out of the race for Kris Commons leaving the door open for Celtic. Seems Rangers were not prepared to pay the £20K per week he is looking.

He would be a good buy for us imo.

A very good player but we've got Howson, Nunez, Johnson, Snodgrass, Watt who can all play that attacking central midfield position. We all know the holes Grayson needs to fill!

8:21 The Editor: Bit of news out of Elland Road and Leeds boss Simon Grayson says he is confident of adding to his squad before the transfer window closes. A dip into the loan market is also likely

Sky Sport Transfer Clockwatch this mornin.

IMO, the only thing we need to do this January is give Bradley Johnson the contract he deserves, we've done well enough this season with the squad we have, Nunez is practically a new signing having only made 2 apps this season. If it ain't broke then don't fix it

This! Have already said it on here! I would give a new deal to Killa too! However until that happens we still need another midfielder!

We concede two goals just about every time we play - that is broke.

That's down to silly defensive mistakes, it has nothing to do with needing new players.

IMO Schmeichel, Connolly, O'Brien, Bruce, McCartney are as good as any defence in the league

When Kisnorbo gets back we'll have Bromby, Collins, Kisnorbo and Parker as our cover defence, which isn't half bad.

The only addition we need this January is 90mins concentration, which I think has already been said.

We need new defenders who don't make silly mistakes...

More of an attacking middy though? I know this Johnson lad is a leeds supporter - if we go for him we will probably get him.
WE''RE LEEDS UNITED, WE''LL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

Paul Green was warnobs best signing.
If you disagree please send me a PM so we can get in to a fight.

Cost Celtic £500,000, there's your answer Gino

Unconvinced he is the sort of player we need though

Bargain at that price! Celtic played him wide and he fitted in really well. Hooper and Stokes were potent up front and - before anyone says it was only Aberdeen - you have to beat what is put in front of you.

I assume that Bates just does not want to pay a transfer fee of any sorts for any player?

Spent 250,000 on McCormack & around 200,000 for the inept Collins. Would have been far better spending those fee's on one quality midfielder but what do i know :?:
