This little lot sounds viable:

James Mcarther: Made a 1m bid plus add ons.

John Eustace: Offer on the table

Nick Montgommery: Offer on the table

Gary Hooper: Made a 1m bid which was rejected, we are not expected to return with an increased offer

Dario Vidošić: Enquired about a possible 1m deal, told he was not for sale.

Florin Costea: Seen as beckfords replacement, club in talks over a possible 1.8m deal.

Tom Kennedy: Signing on a free transfer, coming for a medical when he returns from holiday.

Jamie Ward: Club have now withdrawn there original offer, after the player messed around with wage demands.

Simeon Jackson: Will possibly bid depending on what happens with Costea and Paynter.

Dare Vrsic: In talks about a season long loan.

Tamika Mkandawire: Considering several offers, currently on holiday.

Heard from a source that Norwich have put a 800k bid in for Mike Grella.

Re: OT - All New Leeds United thread : Wed Jun 02, 2010 10:20 am  

As much as I'd hope we wouldn't, I imagine we'll snap their arms off for that. If Grella can't get a game in L1 he's no chance in the Championship, despite having the potential to do very well IMO.

Looks like we'll be seeing alot more activity than I thought in the market, at least.

Which Connolly would this be?

Re: OT - All New Leeds United thread : Wed Jun 02, 2010 10:23 am  

There were three on that list I'd never heard of so here's the low down:

Tamika Mkandawire - 27 year old centre half, played last 2 years at Orient and prior to that in League 2 and non-league with Hereford.

Tom Kennedy - Rochdale left back, 25, previously at Bury, looks to have only ever played in League 2

Florin Costea - 25 year old striker, plays in Romania and has a goal every other game for the last 3 years. Capped 6 times by Romania, no goals.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Also seen a few rumours about Kilkenny - that he can go for the right offer but so far no bids have met the valuation.

I read somewhere that someone was willing to pay £3m for him.

My guess is the guy from Derby - had a few games on loan at Sheff Utd so assume he's not wanted at Derby and available for free.

That'd be decent money! Blackpool were one of the clubs mentioned.

I like Kilkenny - great passer of the ball - but he seems to be a bit in and out of the side so there's something not quite right. I wonder if he's a difficult character?
