Blimey, that's an enormous squad.
I can't see any of the keepers being released unless BPF is told he won't be No1 and asks for a move but from the rest we should offload:
Anita
De Bock
Shaughnessy
Denton
O'Kane
Rey
Sacko (still can't believe we gave him a 4 year deal)
Ideguchi
Cibicki
Ekuban
Wilks
Balboa
Sarkic

[1964white]

A squad full of poor/average & young inexperienced kids in the main

Outside our first eleven there isn't a lot of decent proven championship players & even the first team requires tweaking

[Gandalf]

Updated to include Hugo Diaz's release, which is a surprise. I thought he was a very good footballer. Looks like the rumours about Ben White from Brighton could be on the mark.

Blimey that's a surprise, looked decent on the few occasions I've seen him although so many young players don't make the top grade

[weasel]

Does seem surprising although I am guessing a combination of Bielsa and Orta must have decided he wasn't anywhere near first team standard/ready.

So hard to judge players in the U23 matches as the opposition is usually quite poor and the matches seem little more than training matches at times and lacking real intensity.

That's why I don't allow myself to become too excited about the bulk of our young lads as the championship is a massive step-up from the U23's level

[faaip]

Not that massive for our lads, anyone who stepped up last season looked comfortable and able to do a job

[wilsdenwhite]

Paudie O'Connor - Free Transfer to Bradford City. Two year contract

I believe it was a 3 year contract.

[faaip]

We're not getting our money back for Bamford so I'd keep him plus he never really got fully fit and in form. Way too early to ditch him

[YorkshireSquare]

Trying to keep a bit of a players database running on the site, will update once pre-season kikcs off.

[Gandalf]

Updated to include Grot's season loan.

[Gandalf]

Updated to include the Harrison and White season loans.

.... and the Liam McCarron permanent transfer.

[Gandalf]

Updated to include Costa , McKinstry and Halme deals, plus lots more rumour.

[Irish Ian]

Tom Pearce asked to find a club?????

Seriously, do we have a link to this story?

From England U23s to the dole in a month..

Only at Leeds.

[Gandalf]

Updated to include the arrivals of Rafa Mujica and Guillermo Amor.

[Gandalf]

Updated to include Coyle 6 month loan to Fleetwood Town.

[Gandalf]

Updated to include the sale of Mallik Wilks to Barnsley

[BGwhite]

1.2m is decent business for Leeds for Wilks. Cant understand why they dont just sell Coyle , take the money and get him off the books. Its obvious he's not got a future at Leeds.
