LEEDS UNITED TRANSFER RUMOURS + In's & Out's

[Genghers]

Transfer embargo has been lifted!

Was expected anyway, but at least being lifted this early in the season ensures we have ample time to get planning in place without having to pay the inflated prices as the windows draws to a close.

Let's get the coach situation sorted soon, and really start planning for next season

Hopefully that's next on the agenda. I'm not sure I could cope with anymore good news this week though, not used to it after all these years!

[Brader]

I wouldn't get too excited for anymore good news this week. Seems Chesterfield want redders as manager and if the rumours are to be believed on twitter. He attended their playoff game as a spectator last thursday.

So some bright spark on twitter has come to the conclusion that Redfern was at the play-off game on Tuesday evening & he was there for an interview with the Chesterfield board NOT to watch a football match eyeing potential signings (hopefully Beckford) as managers do !

It's been very "Good news for people who like bad news" hasn't it

Or perhaps there towatch a game of football featuring a side ran by a mate of his (SG).

I've said it before, I'm over the moon that Cook has decided to sign up with us. From a club point of view, this was a necessity that should have been done along time ago for all our youth players. A lot to happen this window, a lot of good and bad things will inevitably occur, and a lot of making up ground has to be done. A one-year contract extension to one of the hottest prospects in England is the least I would expect... perhaps I'm asking too much?

Well MC said 2 seasons (Did he say challenge or get promotion?) he's had one so this is it, Pearson in, Cook resigned, Redders - as much as I appreciate the hard work he's put in will probably go, either to another club or back to Thorpe Arch. I just can't see him getting us promotion, can anyone else here?

Adkins in, Redders back to cranking out some of the best youngster we've had in a long time. Everyone happy.... or not.

Adkins also linked with QPR. If I was a manager out of work and was offered both Leeds and QPR I know which one of the two I would choose. LOL

Only Mirror reporting the Adkins link so not confirmed, but Hay has mentioned that no contact has been made between Redfearn and Cellino. Absolute coward. If he doesn't want Redfearn, announce it and say he isn't in his future plans. It's ruthless and unpopular, but would be a fair and dignified way of doing so. Someone pass him some bottles of whiskey, might be the only way to get the truth out of him.

On what basis can you see us being a contender this year ?

Unless we sign some real seasoned proven Championship pro's I( forget premier level, we haven't got the cash for that) I cannot see anything better than mid table.

Goalkeeper Alex Cairns has confirmed that he will leave Leeds United on a free transfer this summer.

The 22-year-old rose through the ranks at Elland Road, but he has never been able to nail down a regular place between the posts.

His contract is due to expire next month and the Doncaster-born stopper has confirmed that there will be no extension to those terms.

"My time (at) @LUFC is finished from today. Would like to thank the club for giving me my first step in football, all the staff, players and fans that have helped me through my time at the club it's been a good one and I thank you all," he tweeted.

Cairns, who made one senior appearances for Leeds, joined the Whites back in 2011.

Out of contract. We've given one of the academy goalkeepers a contract though, so he's cover...

[Genghers]

Also, on the keeper front:

#lufc Southend United’s 21 year old goalkeeper Daniel Bentley has been named The Football League’s Young Player of the Month for April 2015.
#lufc Apparently he was who Massimo Cellino was watching when he went to Morecambe v Southend the other week.

Heard alot of good things about this kid. Would like to see him as backup

[Genghers]

Jermaine Beckford is now a free agent.

Just sayin'.
