"The problem with Leeds"

Good God when will they start scoring goals.

They have a fine defence and Leeds rarely let in more than one goal.

But can Ricketts, Joachim or Dean score? Can they funk.

Blackwell keeps getting new strikers and they just can't score, hitting the woodwork or hitting wide.

Bloody useless the lot of them. Many 0-0 draws to come.

Might aswell put a fiver on them going down ;)

It's a shame with Leeds, I had a £5 bet on them to bounce back up and win the Championship this year...not gonna happen so far is it? =P

It is indeed.

But leeds really do need goals and quickly.

Maybe the likes of Ricketts just needs a bit of confidence.

He played well in the past game apparently.

Risky decision, while you might say they dont have the squad for promotion, with there defence which has a knack of keeping clean sheets, if they had someone who could score the goals, they perhaps it would be a good signing and give them a fighting chance. So they could gamble and buy him, but if it backfires...its a bit of money gone to waste to say they can get him on a free at the end of the season.

He's not unwanted by Preston, he turned down a contract or something.

Leeds can wait till the end of the season to get him on a free (but risk stiff competiton) or somehow get some money to buy him.

Sadly other clubs may outbid leeds... Although we know Leeds can be a strong finacial competior like they were with Sean Gregan.

Yes, I also heard you are after Preston's un-wanted Northern Ireland international with a great goal-scoring record; one of several young strikers who should never have been allowed to leave Old Trafford so easily...

David Healy.

Whatever happens, he's got to have much more of an impact than Michael Ricketts, surely! ;)

Leeds are hoping to bring in that dude from Preston, you never know.

I have seen Leeds a few times this season, and still maintain that the Ricketts signing wasnt a good one. He never really looks threatening, and the goal he scored in the cup only just went in with a bit of fortune. Deane is ok to throw on in the last part of some games, leaving JJ as the only real goal scorer...and hes injury prone, so how long can he last?

Some loan signings needed i feel.
