[cite]Posted By: Swisdom[/cite]We have a chap at Angers (Bakary Soro I think) who IS registered to us but they (the board) doubt if he'll ever get a work permit
Bakary Soro plays for Arles Avignon, who just won promotion to the French first division, amazingly their 4th promotion in 5 years.
Just read that Huddersfield have signed Joey Gudjohnsen from Burnley on a free.
My bad - it's Serge Deble who is at Angers
" A rising new star, a youngster from the fabled Académie de Sol Beni. He previously played for ASEC Mimosas in Cote d'Ivoire, before on 14 July 2008 moving to France side SCO Angers on loan from parent club Charlton Athletic, due to work permit reasons[1].
He won 2010 toulon with Ivory Coast and won the Golden shoe individual award for best player in the tournament.

I hope the board have completed their budgetary plan by now.
I know it was a long shot to get Dagnall, and there's always the chance he chose Scunthorpe over us anyway, but I'd really like us to get players in early this year - as I'm sure PP would.

[cite]Posted By: mart77[/cite]Chris Dagnall has signed for Scunthorpe.
Northern lad, only played for Northern clubs and Scunthorpe are in a higher league than us, it's no surprise really.
That said, i never thought i'd see the day when a player chose the might of Scunthorpe over us!
[cite]Posted By: nichorob[/cite]Shame about Dagnall, could of been just what we needed, especially considering he moved to Scunthorpe on a free as well.
were we able to make him an offer though or are the board still deciding on budgets etc. Seeing as we havn't heard yet if the out of contract players are being offered new terms we can only assume that as yet we are unable to offer terms to anyone else and until we are able to do so we will continue to miss out on out targets. Next, Kevin Kyle.
It might just be me but in the games he played against us i thought Billy Paynter was very ordinary. Don't recall him doing much in his career, until this 1 good season which could just be a fluke. If he's Beckfords replacement i think Leeds fans will end up disappointed.

Do you know what Chris, I was thinking pretty much the same, not overly impressed myself. Still if it weakens one of our close rivals for next year, then great!
I'm with you CfS, Paynter didn't look that great in the games I saw, although he obviously bagged a good few so must have a bit about him. Austin looks the better prospect at current, although he'll be a marked man next year so will be interesting to see how he gets on in that 'tricky second season'.
I hope we are not stalling on board budget descisions whilst all these players slip past, still think we should take a gamble on somebody like James Constable at Oxford, 3rd time lucky after Dickson and Fleetwood.

Although most of these rumours are surely completely made up, some of them are quite obscure. Who exactly is Charlie Tunnard and why would anyone go to the trouble of linking him to us?!
Also Llera to Colchester for 100k? After his performance there last season there's no way they'd be signing him!
That's rubbish, no way we've arranged around 10 new signings already. Interested in some of them, possibly.

Possible, reality is perhaps Scunthorpe can offer bigger wages than us, and of course, football at a higher level.
I think some on Football Rumours make jokes like that knowing Llera had a mare at Colchester.
There was one rumour that Kandol was joining Norwich because he impressed at Carrow Road . You may remember he was sent off a minute after coming on. David Livermore has been linked with a move from Barnet to Leeds. Four years ago he joined Leeds from Millwall only to be sold on a month later to Hull .
I really think its all a bit of fun , not to be taken too seriously.
I hate this football rumours website, may as well get a list of every ageing or lower league player who is available on a free, stick all of them in a hat and pull out some names and then post on the site.
[quote][cite]Posted By: J BLOCK[/cite]Clinton Morrison apparently set to be released by Coventry, worth a punt?[/quote]
We have just got rid of an ex Palace player just released by Cov, actually we could do a lot worse than Morrison. His scoring record is decent in the Champ so at League 1 would be more than adequate especially alongside a target man. Not sure about wages though, suspect he was on a good wage at Cov.
Seems like Millwall are in for Mkandawire. However, he may have to be backup to Robinson and Ward. Millwall have plenty of defenders so he might not want to go there and compete for a place.

Hopefully, but I'd imagine a lot of players just don't see it like, they'll take the risk and fight for a place

Right. Never mention his name again.
In fact he's already said that himself a week ago.

Beat me to it! Can't see Swindon competing next season.

Which, on both counts, is exactly what an ambitious Fourth Division footballer is looking for!
Charlton Athletic lining up the following freebies:–
Lee Bowyer, Darren Purse & Hayden Mullins
Also they are offering new long term contracts with small pay rises to crucial players; Yassin Moutakil, Izale Mcloud, Chris Dickson & Fleetwood.
I noticed that Liam Chilvers played under Parky at Colchester so that one is plausible.

crucial? they meant crap obviously; besides dickson's already been released.
I'm pretty sure I joked we'd be linked with Purse last week!
Clinton O'morrison reminds me too much of McKenzie - no thanks
