I was being deliberately obtuse. The boy not done good.

Ha! I expected nothing less, TT.

To be honest, much as I quoted your post, it wasn't really meant for you, and the point was that we're all surrounded by 'personal issues', and most [well, in my case, anyway

Kearney would not be much of a loss anyway. If Leeds want him then I hope they succeed.

Kear in at FB
George one wing, Foster the other.
Frees up a wage.

Having said that, Mat has been "confirming" the rumours are true so it will never happen.

There's one thing that repeatedly annoys me about your posts ME. It's that scottish should have a capital S in your Location. I know you are just a small part of [sizeE[/sizengland but please get it right.

Yes, the loss of one of our main attacking threats would not be a loss.

Kearney is 10 times the attacking threat Elliott Kear is at full back

roger's spectre of Brett Hodgson still looms large!

Also eddie, if defensive is what you're after as far as I know Paul Wellens is still out of contract...!

Personally, if's and but's and realistic options only; it's a shame Shaun Briscoe retired.

The latest from Leeds yesterday was that they've fined Zak and warned him about future conduct but expect him back for pre season training where they can help him move forward. If they were going to release him now would have been the time. If he's not going and they still have BJB why would they sign BK? I'd expect BK will still be our FB next season.

If hardaker stays they don't need BK. Hopefully whatever hardaker did to get fined has derailed both his and BKs moves.

Seems a bit of an odd one this. The rumour had been heard by several different sources, and mat seemed adamant that BK was leaving.
I suppose it could still all go through but why would Leeds put out a statement like that if Hardaker was not staying at the club?

Weird.

Pure speculation here, but if it was me who was Zak's boss.....

He does whatever he's done to breach discipline, so I fine him, give him his warning, and all I say to the press is "it's been dealt with internally, Zak will turn up for training on such and such date". I don't give details of how it's been dealt with, just that it has.

If I were giving those kind of details to the public, it would be because I intended on letting them know what a bad boy he was, in preparation for him leaving the club.

When I saw Leeds giving the very details of how he was disciplined, I believed he was on his way out. The only thing that doesn't fit with that is them saying he'll be back for training. Why would you say that, if you knew he was leaving?

It's all a little bit odd to be honest, and the statement from Leeds to me, just made it weirder.

Could be a couple of reasons for this, first could be taking the blame away from mcnamara as hes had nothing but grief! But more importantly I think it could be more a case of Hardaker wanting to leave rather than Leeds letting him, everything thats happened will obviously have found its way back to particular clubs interested in him, but the fans of these clubs will be none the wiser! So if Leeds want him to stay making a public statement with such a hefty fine could lead to fans of other clubs saying do we need such a bad apple? May rail road any interest from another club if the clubs fans are totally against it. This then leaves Hardaker on the contract he wants upgrading at Leeds which wont happen in their supposed tight structure, with no other club to go to for a pay rise!

I'm surprised at nothing after Bateman in the T&A saying how the loss of Langley would be a big shoes to fill - although credit to John he didn't say he was going to be the one hanging around to take his place!

Didn't we get similar rumours about BK before the last season? Agree about Leeds, given what they've got, why would they be looking at Brett?
