Norris is 31, Drury is 33, Kenny is 34 and Varney is 30 in September. It's true that Pearce is only 24 but there is still a but...
Tell me, who were Norris, Varney and Pearce playing for last season? That would be Portsmouth. And where did Portsmouth finish in the table? They were relegated weren't they. True they suffered a points deduction but even without that, they would have finished in the bottom six.
So, you finish in mid table and you want to strengthen the team, what's the obvious thing to do? Plunder a third of a team that ended up relegated! Inspired!
There's nothing here to generate excitement is there? Green is possibly the best of the bunch and he has spent a career playing for clubs in mid table or below in the Championship. OK Leeds weren't great last season but will this lot make them better or is it a case of dross replacing dross?
One thing's for sure, the signings do not suggest that there is a Money Bags take over in the offing. You don't go shopping in a car boot sale when you know you are sitting on a lottery jackpot ticket!
In fact the closest Leeds look likely to get to money is Varney. His namesake Reg was the very first person to use an automated cash dispenser in the United Kingdom. You can hear Master Bates now! "You want money for transfers Neil? Pop down to Nat West and take fifty quid out of the cashpoint. Oops, sorry, they're not working at the moment are they?"
Your a N.O.B!
ReplyDeleteOK! So u dont like Leeds.
ReplyDeleteBut if your bubble bursts u just might be to Elland back!
What's your beef with Leeds? Do some blogs about West Ham I ain't interested in Leeds
ReplyDeleteI am rubber.. You are glue
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a West Ham blog? Can we please have some more Hammers stuff then? I'm bored with all this crap you write about Leeds who aren't even in the same division as us any more ffs. Why not write about the likes of Wigan or Norwich if you want to write about other teams rather than the Mighty Irons! At least that would be of more relevance to us......
ReplyDeleteYawn...
ReplyDeleteJust remind me, 1st season for WHUFC out of the top flight, in the top 3 all season & who still had a higher away average than WHUFC despite 9 years outside the top flight. Including 3 seasons in the 3rd tier... Oh & being poor in mid table all season.
Just a thought...
Tick Tock.
get over your leeds united obsession and concentrate on your own club
ReplyDeleteWhy do you care? Seriously, I know you love winding up Leeds fans and clearly you don't get anywhere near as many hits when you post articles about your own club, but what IS the obsession with Leeds?
ReplyDeleteWhat a loser, wasting your time writing this dross. Get a life sad act. Bet you're ginger too and live at home in your mums box room. Tit
ReplyDeleteICF FAGGOT!!
ReplyDeleteVirgin
ReplyDeleteYour only here to support the leeds because your team is a yo yo team. Shame that in 12 months you will be relegated and we will take your place.
ReplyDeleteAnd Leeds definitely can't be labeled a yo yo club. When you boys go down you stay down.
DeleteYour team is west ham not spam. Stop spamming about Leeds you thick twat
ReplyDeleteGuys, so what have I got wrong here exactly? Instead of the silly insults, try addressing the argument.
ReplyDeleteThere is no obsession by the way, just an interest. Many more West Ham threads than Leeds threads. But looking at your Boards it is a good job I am giving you something to read. It's quiet in there!
Leeds. So good they named it once
ReplyDeleteODD BALL
ReplyDeleteWeirdo - concentrate on your own team you ODD BALL
ReplyDelete@Hammersfan
ReplyDeleteOK, why the INTEREST in Leeds then?
"But looking at your Boards it is a good job I am giving you something to read. It's quiet in there!".
That comment is clearly bollocks - Plenty going on at the minute without you posting your crap, so please do us a favor and pack it in, you're boring.
Although i am still perplexed as to why you are still fixated by the once mighty whites. I have to say your assessment on this one unfortunately may be spot on. Varney is garbage as to why anyone chasing promotion would try and sign him is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteStill this is a OUR issue that affect MY club NOT yours, so if you would most kindly f**k off you jellied eel eating, bubble blowing spunk bubble. I would very much appreciate it.
ForeverWhite.
Keep up the good work. You are only saying what any Leeds fan is thinking.
ReplyDeleteI do think the "Master Bates" tag is a bit rich coming from someone whose club is run by a couple of serial pornographers, though. Their front as respectable businessmen is a tissue of lies (tissue, wankers, get it?)
LOL Very good response 0015
ReplyDeleteCheers 0017, our pornographers don't have names that lends themselves so well to the tag do they?
Are you a bunny boiler? This obsession, even to the disdain of your own fans, is totally feckin ludicrous. You must have some serious mental health issues!
ReplyDeleteever thought that these players wernt happy at the teams they are/were playing for???? ever thought that they might work their bollocks off for the team??? why are so many people full of negative thoughts!!give them a chance, if it goes tits up! give em grief! if by some miracle we get to the promised land give em a pay rise and shut the f..k up!!!!
ReplyDeleteStop writing about Leeds. Everyone knows you write about them just to get more visitors because they have a way bigger fan-base than West Ham. Get a life
ReplyDeleteA west ham blog that has a fixation on Leeds, because there's nothing interesting going on with West Am.
ReplyDeleteSo you've nothing to blog about....
1 point though... You've just signed Jussi the keeper who has just been relegated with Bolton, pot, kettle, black..
MOT
Lufc79
ReplyDeleteListen up you Fxxxxxg txxt. Get a life, we will be passing you on your way down next summer. Concentrate on your own SxxT club.
You are a first rate CxxT. Now Fxxk off pxxxy.
This site is amazing. your west ham yet all you do is talk about the mighty whites!! The cockney bird i was with was from walthamstowe and listen fellow Leeds fans. when she been to Leeds once see was smitten never wanted to go back to London!!! I wonder if this crank as got the same obsession? In the end i did my views mate and finished with her 4 hours she had packed her stuff in London and wanted to move in with me lol she even wanted to kill herself. So Leeds fans let him talk and criticise about the city and club what is 95% white not like west ham and London were its 25% percent white. lol bramley white
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are squad players mate until the new owners release funds..
ReplyDeleteUntil the cash comes in ( if it does ) we cant buy expensive players because we arent being breast fed by Sky TV. Sods law the club will be taken over just after the window closes and we'll have to wait until January to splash any cash. By then it might be too late :-(
ReplyDeleteIts taking too long!
followed Leeds Utd since 77 seen a lot of dross over the years, even when we were good. Fact is it is all bout "ups and downs". For me it needs changing. Grayson should have been sacked after Barnsley (A). The players you slate were at a club that was really in the financial mire and that affects how you perform. Renewed optimism and a change of clubs will see them play better. Cov City (A) last season showed me we had a group of players that did not know what it means to wear our shirt and we can only hope we get the same quality on the pitch as the fans show off it. For me Bates time has come he has to go. The prem needs Leeds Utd as much as Leeds Utd needs the prem and the fact you spend so much time writing about us proves it.
ReplyDeleteGreen out, jussi in!!!. Cracking bit of buisness!!
ReplyDeleteIt is true that these players may suddenly transform and become world beaters but it is unlikely isn't it? It's not as if Warnock is signing young players with untapped talent is it? These guys have been knocking around the lower divisions for donkey's years and donkeys don't win the Derby at Epsom in the fag end of their careers. II may be wrong, occasionally I am, but it looks to me as if Warnock is being forcd to sign yard dogs because Bates won't shell out for decent players.
ReplyDeleteNot true
DeleteWhen Leeds got promoted in 90/91 look who got us there
Strachen they said an has been from Manx turned out to be the best midfielder in the league
Chapman everyone laughed but how many goals did he score for us
Sterland an old man from rangers
And so on and son
Stick to your team and the sex mags who own it
And by the way your still a knob
DeleteCan't understand why the doctors are giving you so much free time on your own
Do you have a two way mirror in your bed room
You must be proud of whufc been 120million in debt? 37year old jussi must have the pulses racing!! admin iz calling very soon! R i p whufc
ReplyDeleteThat's been the story for a number of years we just haven't brought quality and its all down to that wanker Bates, once he's out we will be mot
ReplyDeleteThe current signings are all but irrelevent.
ReplyDeleteIf Ken Bates doesn't sell out and cannot provide any money for players then Leeds will be a contender for relegation. The unrest has, rightly so, reached a fever pitch with the latest childish behaviour by Bates against a previous Director which has led to a several million pound legal bill to be paid for by the club. I forsee attendances dropping further in opposition.
If Bates does sell then the rumours are that there will be appropriate funds available for a Chamionship team seeking promotion.
The fact that Warnock is still around and signing players suggests that things are looking positive, but admittedly it might all be wishful thinking!
Finally, why don't all these WH supporters sod off and leave us alone here with our lovely Leeds blog? Good on ya HF!
As West Ham proved last season you don't need world beaters to get out of the championship. Warnock needs to sign grafters and like Ipswich had last season,muscle all over the field. He is buying honest players. Gel them with some of the (rare) talent at ER given the right motivation and fans that are loyal and passionate things can only get better.
ReplyDeleteYou're Leeds and u know u are you're Leeds and u know u are.....sad C##T but funny :)
ReplyDeleteMOT TOGETHER FOREVER.......LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS...!!!!!
At the risk of being assassinated by my fellow Leeds fans, here's an article that I wrote (tongue in cheek) to balance up the anti Bates argument.
ReplyDeleteIn it I suggested that if Leeds United HAD been promoted last season then Bates would have sold up for a mighty profit and his tenure, whilst unpleasant, would have generally been in the best interests of the club having kept us in business and delivered us back to the Premiership.
That didn't happen, and now Bates has moved beyond the pale in my view.
If the club pays Bates legal bill for his childish outburst then I for one will not be visiting Elland Road or buying merchandise until he exits.

ReplyDeleteWritten tongue in cheek before I get death threats!
Anony-mouse says,
ReplyDeleteFfs HF, this constant boring, attention seeking and wind up Leeds stuff is ridiculous. Please don't give some old blarney about you being interested in Warnock- as with QPR last year you're doing it for the hits and no other reason. As soon as you disappeared of the QPR boards your articles dried on them up so you had f*ck all real interest in them other than site traffic.
And look at what you're getting from Leeds fans in return- just shedloads of inarticulate sh*te. The amount of sensible West Ham posters on this site has dwindled to no more than ten or so. If it carries on like this there will be no reason to come here at all. And yes I know I don't have to look a dross like this article, but why should I have to sift through it to get to a West Ham post- you don't have to do it on other sites.
7.20- Being with a racist jerk like you, it's no wonder the girl wanted to top herself. I've just spent 10 seconds reading your drivel and already I don't want to be on the same f*cking planet as you either.
Leeds fans- Rest assured. Most of us couldn't give a flying f*ck about your club except when we play you or you're rivaling us for promotion, etc. Good luck for the future but some of you need to show a bit of humility. You are a big club but some of the unearned arrogance displayed on here makes those of you writing it look utterly deluded (copyright BFS 2012).
Yeah, yeah I know- ''fook oof you cockney coont". I have already so don't bother.
37year old relegated keeper, diame & now a move for frazer campbell !!!!, my money is on you guys for a serious euro place challenge?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the beautiful football next season you tit. Play it long again Sam. Your manager will be gone by january and they'll hire another mug to try and keep you up. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we didn't have world beaters last season at west ham, but we had green, demel, obrien, Tomkins, Reid, Faye, Collins, mcartney, Taylor, faubert, o neill, noble, collison, Nolan, vaz te, cole. They all have vast top flight and international experience. That's why we are in the premiership and Leeds are in the championship building a side perfect for league 1. Pathetic hasbeens! COYI
ReplyDeleteim a leeds fan, dude u gotta concentrate on ur own team ive read like 5 articles done by you on leeds
ReplyDeleteI do think the "Master Bates" tag is a bit rich coming from someone whose club is run by a couple of serial pornographers, though. Their front as respectable businessmen is a tissue of lies (tissue, wankers, get it?)

More of the same drivel from an obvious Leeds United supporter pretending to support Wet Spam....
ReplyDeleteGet out of here. The only reason we are going for them isn't because og thier playing ability or age. Its because they are CHEAP. Just like Mr Bates.
