Would like to see the 11m confirmed.
On Fulham website it's undisclosed.
Nothing on Leeds website yet.
Can't compare Beckford with Ross, Ross had lengthy contract remaining, Beckford was out of contract.
Had Beckford scored in the championship like he did in L1 and have 4 years remaining on his contract, maybe it would be comparable.
As Jonty says, 11m? Questionable and for it to be a good deal for us Leeds fans, it HAS to be re invested, no excuses.
Anything above £5 mil is a good deal
11 mil for McCormack. If its true its great business. I like Ross but 11mil...............thank you very much
11m is great if true for Ross, however it leaves a massive hole in our ability to score enough goals to stay up.
Wonder how good a deal it would seem if we miss out on promotion on goal difference or get relegated because of it.
We have 4 weeks to find a decent replacement, let's hope club have something up their sleeve otherwise our relegation odds (6 favourites for relegation at present) are going to seriously shorten.
Can anybody tell me how many times Leeds gave him improved deals. This is a continuation of Ross's attitude towards clubs. Leeds were milked and Fuham have been mugged. Great dough though.
Wonder how good a deal it would seem if we miss out on promotion on goal difference or get relegated because
Wonder how morale would be if we kept an unhappy player at club?
Certainly need a replacement ASAP. You would hope the club would have been looking for a replacement or two in the last couple of weeks. A bit of pace and guile would be handy
chorley, I think morale will improve without him at club, even if he wasn't asking to leave, can't explain why, just a feeling.
Courtney St John confirming 11m
Courtney St John @CourtneyStJohn
@LUFCkarlos @ProtestForLeeds @elspencexx no club would refuse £11m for any player so open ur eyes - No 'bull***t' frm here! #biggerpicture✌️
Jonty
Agreed, I do like Ross and rate him but, I think Ross is more interested in Ross than the team
I hope Ross's stress related illness is all better now. What a load of carp that was
In terms of perspective, Blackpool have 8 players in their squad!!!
http://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/team/player-profile/
Still cant believe the club havent officially let us know that the captain has been sold.
jokers.
Sometimes football isn't so black and white.
Yes, we are losing his goals, but its a chance for a new style of play and for others to step in.
We had the same issue when Beckford left, but changed our style to allow our wingers more opportunity to score rather than create for Beckford. Becchio was also freed up to take chances as opposed to make them for Beckford. I seem to remember that first season in the Championship we scored the same amount as we did the season before in League One.
Maybe the website hasn't been updated because Cellino mistakenly sacked them as part of the cutting back process ...................
Maybe the staff are still in the boardroom sipping champagne
Or in the toilets sniffing something!
We ended up as one man team last year. Here's hoping this year we will have eleven who try as hard as Ross did. Good luck to him, except when playing us.
What is the bigger picture Courtney refers to? To say, open your eyes, and that no club in this league would turn down 11m. Has he gone to the club of his choice? Will be interesting to read his views on the situation. I bet GFH are rubbing their hands together with the hike in their investment share value.
As for "hope we have someone lined up"
Nicola Salerno, MC's right hand man and transfer
Fella at Cagliari has been lining up players left and right over the last couple of weeks. I read yesterday
Things hinged on Fulham getting fleeced.
Now that's done, look for 4 or 5 of the ten names
Linked to us coming in. Silvestri is in.
For those who haven't figured it out yet, MC
Does have a clue.
Don't assume we'll see a load of tasty players coming in.
For the latter half of last season we were subjected to stories of £1m per month deficit. There will be big financial holes that require filling first.
"For those who haven't figured it out yet, MC

bit early for that statement....as Warwick said, don't expect a raft of 1m plus players coming in
Warwick, I think a ton of cost cutting and wage clearing has already bridged that gap. I fully expect 5 or 6 of the names I've read coming in soon.
Hope you're right Batty ............ or these boards will go into overdrive ...........
What a difference 11 minutes makes
