Unable to afford Maynard, Warnock has turned his attention to a former West Ham target, Brighton's Mucky-Smith.
Whilst this is an improvement on the free transfer flotsam and jetsam that Warnock has signed so far, it is still a long way short of the quality Leeds needs to push for promotion and succeed in the Prem.
Mucky-Smith has spent a long career in the lower divisions and is not going to improve in leaps and bounds. He was average, at best, in the Championship last season as a return of 9 goals from 45 games shows and it is hard to imagine him improving on that tally significantly. Poyet's Brighton played an attacking game suited to Mucky's limited strengths; Warnock's Leeds will be much more rudimentary.
In case some suspect revisionism on my part, check out the link below to see what I thought of the Ordinary Jock before he kicked a ball for Brighton. Thank God West Ham didn't waste good money on him! That £3m collected from the sale of Snakeinthegrass is clearly burning a hole in Warnock's pocket. Perhaps he has to spend it quick before Master Bates uses it to buy a new penthouse!
At least we are not smaller than wigan. Just hard that your biggest summer target, Ivan Ramis from Real Mallorca, has just had a change of heart and instead decided to sign for wigan. Oh dear its the championship next season for West Ham!
ReplyDeleteGood job you didn't waste 2.5 mill on Maynard aye?
ReplyDeletekeep blowing the monkey bhoyo !!!
I love your comments but why do you hate Leeds so much?
ReplyDeleteDid your mum cheat on your dad with the milkman from Leeds?
MOT
CMS rejected west ham for BRIGHTON!! now Ramis is rejecting you for WIGAN!!!!! hahaha must be poor to be a hammers fan. all you seem to do is pay attention to Leeds!
ReplyDeleteconcentrating on leeds again coz ur own tinpot club is doing nowt as usual. wot happened to carroll signing, oh yeh forgot he wants to sign for a club with ambition so thats u lot out of the equation.
ReplyDeleteSurely an £18m bid is a demonstration of ambition.
DeleteKen Bates is right. You lot are morons.
Another day .......another load of drivel ........get a life you nomark bell-end .
ReplyDeletehahaha im a leeds fan and this is spot on! too many people bite at you!! You and I both know which club has a richer history and why leeds attendances at games have dipped.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately being a team stuck in the lower leagues now for some years, realistic strikers at affordable fees have to be the target, it would be impossible in our current position to attacked the services of say an "Andy Carroll or Carlos Teves" .... O hang on a minute.
ReplyDeleteI've just read thats also impossible for the massive West Ham too! ... Carroll stating " I'd rather sweep the floor's of Anfield changing room" and Teves commented "West Ham, no, not for me, heading was never the strongest part of my game"
Seems even you Big Premiership clubs have to scrap around in the basement looking for players .... Keep blowing those bubbles and licking those windows sunshine .... happy days are just around the corner.
Sorry for being a bit of a trigger but what does 'licking those windows' mean again?? I've heard it a few times now.
DeleteHow ironic, the number of times I have questioned people's intelligence on this site lol.
You will notice that I am 'anonymous'!!
come on you spurs
ReplyDeleteRamis just wants to be loved by a fellow Spaniard.
ReplyDeleteRather go to wigan than u tossers .....pmsl .....wot a compleat dog cock u look now ;) hahahahahahahahahahahahaha now jog on fcukwit .
DeletePiss poor comeback
DeleteYou're getting ripped again thicko. Time to give it up as you're embarrassing yourself
Deleteim shagging my clener
ReplyDeleteyou should be leeds manager, chairman, cheif scout,kit man,man on the turnstile. we would definatley be the top dog then.you know everything there is to know about leeds united.if we had you at the club we would be sorted.
ReplyDelete"Leeds can't afford Maynard"
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha OUCH
Sod it, I've just cracked a rib.....
I've never seen such pretencious crap anywhere, even on this site.
What you mean't to say (I'm sure) was that Leeds DON'T WANT Maynard...
We already have better players who scored more goals.....
Keep digging that hole nobhead ......cos its gona b a big fcuking hole to bury you with wen you look a twat at the end of next season me old china ;) ..........wigan pmsl @ you .
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh! Would love to know what you look like. Adrian Mole springs to mind.
ReplyDeleteOnly reason we didn't get Ramis is because we signed Collins who is a better player for £2mil less.
ReplyDeleteAs for 11:30's comment, surely trying to sign Carroll on an 8 year deal worth £36mil shows ambition - stop contradicting yourself you northern numpty!!! ;)
Also, I like Leeds, always have and personally would like to see you back in the prem, hope you lot manage to get rid of master bates!
COYI
Super_Hammer_Al
N by the way looks like you want to be loved by Leeds fans why not trot up the m1 identifie yourself at er and we will all love you Bell end
ReplyDeleteYou have clearly never watched BHA play. CMS was continually isolated up front on his own for a large part of the season. All he needs is a strong strike partner along side him and he will score goals. A more rudimentary approach is exactly what suits him best!
ReplyDeleteOh dear! What a bunch of deluded clowns you Bubble blowers are. You should concentrate on staying in the Premiership rather than blowing off about everyone else and (of course) Blowing off (about) each other! Big Melon Head Sam failed to deliver football the 'West Ham' way and of course you romped the Championship last year. How many points did you WIN the League by again?????????? Be careful about your predictions for the season ahead, as I seem to remember your last visit to the Premiership didn't really deliver much. Big Club? Ask yourselves seriously what you have ever done? Get real you claret and blue gonks, staying up will be a struggle for you. Nolan the chicken dancer along with half the cronies you have bought are not good eanough. Fact. Sleep tight ladies we will be watching........ Super Leeds a Real Club with Real fans!
ReplyDeleteHe's no Becchio - Leading goal scorer 2013
ReplyDeleteNice one Bob.
ReplyDeleteInstead of being loved by a load of spanners?
ReplyDeleteWhy is there more Leeds on here than west ham It does not make sense
ReplyDeletemackail smith has an excellent workrate and with austin and varney in midfield supplying the through balls, mackail smith will double his goal rate. mccormack will chip in too as he will be staying.
ReplyDeletejoe leeds
2014, didn't you spot "West Ham" in the thread title?
ReplyDeleteYou were obviously dumped by a girl from Leeds or bullied at school by Leeds fans. Love how you always say they're 'jokey' and 'banter' but there's an underlying hateful tone to some of them which I find hilarious. Not to mention the sheer volume which is borderlining on obsessive! It's like reading my 8 year olds English homework, but not as funny...
DeleteBorderlining? I think you should try a 9 year old's English homework
Delete8 yr deal for Andy Carroll - that's got to be th worst business since Seth Johnson to Leeds. Losing out to Wigan on you prime transfer target. Taking out adverts begging for the Olympic stadium white elephant. No decent signings. Playing anti-football. Cult hero dancing like he's a chicken. Non of your strikers scoring goals. Can't beat non-league teams pre-season. Comedy hats and military coats. £90million debts. Surely you can't be short of material for your West Ham blog. If you can't bring yourself to come to terms with the present then remind us how you play like Brazil and win world cups single handed because we could all do with another laugh.
ReplyDeletescrew u,u bubble blowing loser id like you to say wot u say about leeds to my face or any leeds fan,ur all girls down south ,i dont want cms or ur crap maynard ,wel make do with becchio, gray, rossco and poleon and still beat your crap points tally last season,and as for ur shit ground shit bubble blowing fans and crap manager i hope u rot in relegation all seasons,lets see who the morons are next season ,and it wont be SUPER LEEDS UNITED,so get on with ya bubbles and watchin green streets the only fame uv ever had or ever will do,come on you millwall and spurs.ROT IN HELL U HAMMERS SCUM.MOT FOREVER WHEREVER.
ReplyDeleteKnob heads gone quiet now mighty wigans took there man ;) ....what a fcuking numbskull wet wank spank fan is ;) ......jog on hf .....your a f ing tit and ya clubs shite .FACT
ReplyDeleteQuick, quick. Leeds squad numbers have been announced. Not like you to miss an opportunity to antagonise.
ReplyDeleteAm thoroughly enjoying reading these articles. Leeds fans - get over yourselves. This guy has served you up a few facts/bitter home truths and you've all bitten - every man Jack of you! Warnock'll have you boys solidly entrenched in a ... mid table battle for nothing, or should I say "nowt" by Christmas, and the deals he's done so far have been ... well ... Warnock-esque to put it mildly. Yeah, Leeds is a big club, but that's like saying Britain has a big empire. Press rewind for long enough and you'll all be back where you think you belong. Getting on the backs of West Ham and wishing us ill is just showing yourselves up. Are you not bigger than that? Perhaps if your idea of what a big club is is anything to go by then methinks not. Mind you, you mayt get a PL draw in a cup if you're lucky and your glory seekers may return for a nice change - hell, you may even get lucky and draw us at Elland Road so we can fill it for you!!!
ReplyDeleteCOYI
Hammertime press rewind far enough for your own tin pot club and you were crap back then and you are always likely to be in the present and the future. As for drawing us in the FA cup and filling our ground for us, dream on, your about as attractive a proposition to us as Wigan and just as meaningless and besides, you wouldn't like to get knocked out in the early rounds by a championship club you struggle to beat would you?
ReplyDeleteBtw, both Wigan and our very good selves are where exactly?? As opposed to the mighty shoulders of LUFC who'll be propping up the entire football league by 2014 - oh yeah, when we move into the Olympic Stadium and the next level! COYI
Delete17.02 Try to keep up son. The reference to filling your ground for you was based on our support - proper support through thick (Leeds fans taken into account there) and thin. I fear you'd feel like the away end once the 'Ammers set up camp - wherever we choose btw! COYI
ReplyDeleteSpot on hammertime, we would go where we want at elland road. We all took the piss when we went there last season, I almost felt sorry for the sweethearts
ReplyDeleteHammertime, are you this bloggers friend. Is he feeling a bit upset? Tell him we miss him. Really look forward to his deluded ramblings every day. It makes us realise their is someone worse off than yourself. We would hate to think that he's suddenly realised how cringe-worthy and un-funny he is. Is he sat at home alone feeling sorry for himself? Maybe you could hook up with him. Maybe send him some of the owner's fanny mags (not an amusing cockney periodical mind) to cheer him up a bit.
ReplyDeleteHammersfan, you may continually be hoisted by your own patard but we all enjoy watching you do it. Please don't go, don't desert us for Wigan.
00.39 Your English is as laughable as your support! Please try and help the rest of the English speaking world to take you seriously by at least writing in the same language as ther rest of us! From what I can gather, you have just had sex with your sister for the first time - or was that a stranger - which we all know is illegal in your part of Yorkshire....
ReplyDeleteHammertime! Nice pants and a shit dance by the way. Gold and the Russian reject will lead you into administration at some point, so don't get too carried away. Just remind us lowly Leeds fans what you have actually ever done?????? You sound like a nice kind of guy, probably still live with your mum and look after the cats during the day, BUT Hey! At least you can Blow Bubbles whilst looking for a new boyband to follow. No job? No prospects? No brain? No future? You have got the vacancy! You are now truly a West Ham fan of the Highest Esteem. Keep loving Leeds mate because without us, you seem to have very little to say! As for old Melon Head your illustrious Manager, you deserve the dullest man in football. Love you!
