Looks like we are close to signing our first player of the season for £1m. Phil Hay is reporting:
"Reports in Sweden say Kalmar FF striker Marcus Antonsson is set to join Leeds Utd after a medical on Monday"
Antonsson has been prolific in the Swedish top division with 10 goals in 12 games this season. He is 25 years old.
Asking price seems to be between £1m-£1.2m. Hi club have confirmed that an agreement is in place but wont say who with"
Skint they said!
So We Are SKINT?

LIW, funny how people cry about us not scoring but slate our biggest goal scorer!..
So funny we're still crying!..
Shaun, one off the biggest Becchio lovers, you name striker after striker, then you say "20 a season"!..
Becchio if he'd stayed would have got 30+!..
I don't really give a crap about how much a player is brought down by a few around here, as long as they don't forget the player they rated more was also very good at falling over!..
He was put there to do a job and for somebody that hardly played for last four years did it well!..
I take it you mean the last four years and not the last at Leeds eh?..
Boy what could have been if he hadn't gone, were we not lucky not to have gone down that season, oh hey, we could have made the play off's if he'd stayed!..
Still, he fell over and hit a few Pens, and still didn't score enough off what we still can't score, what a load off crap some talk!..
Name all the player's you like, we won't get many unless someone above says they fit in with the way he does things, but then he'll have to let his demoted manager have his way as well, but we can "still" live in hope I suppose!..

It's a team game !!!!!!
It's not black and white that scoring is the only thing a striker has to do.
He was utter garbage that season, and broke down many of our attacks
How come he's hardly played since he left ????
Football changed you've got to have a good all round game to play upfront
And his was dogs hit
I had to watch it week in week out, you didn't

LIW, he scored goals, what is a strikers job?..
Breaking down attacks you're always going on about, he scored more than the next three behind him, why didn't he get dropped and others played before him?..
Maybe because he was scoring and others weren't!..
"How come he's hardly played since he left ????"
Maybe it was the Premier that was one step to much, why didn't the bod that came this way score as many as him?..
He was meant to be a better player!..
I didn't see it week in week out, but I did see him in a game where he scored once and Beckford scored twice, so so sorry for not being able to watch week in week out!..
I look for the results and how the "team" are doing!..
He was part off that team and he scored goals, so like I said, its a load off crap when people bring him down for doing what he was put there to do!..

Perhaps my memory is not so great, but I just don't remember Leeds fans being negative on Becchio even for a season or so after he left. In fact, I remember him being quite popular. The last season, I have vivid recollection of him being a beast defending corner kicks.
Only real criticism I have is that he stayed at Norwich too long!

I liked Becchio but his all round game was appalling

A cursory look at the latest published accounts show we aren't paying up front for players.
We are skint.
Never heard of this Swedish guy, if he signs then best of luck to him.

Sol, do many clubs pay up front for players?

JLA,
I can only go on LUFC accounts. Amounts due in more than one year for player trading has jumped up.
I have all the accounts for championship clubs downloaded (bar Blackpool, Bolton and maybe one other?), if I get chance I'll have a look tomorrow.
