Let's hope so, although it still says on wiki they haven't, wiki is very up to the minute on transfers. I don't know if they are better than what we have, but seeing how our current squad aren't that good, they would have to be pretty average to be like them. Fingers crossed they are better. :thumbup:

Our only official signing is Stuart Taylor (GK) from Reading. We haven't officially signed anyone else, however there are many players that are having trials at Leeds United. We have also been linked to numerous players but until they have been officially confirmed as signing for us they aren't our players. :thumbup:

Cheers for that info. :thumbup:

They need to get on with it, when is our first games? We could do with getting players, playing together.

Yeah I agree, if we are bringing in some Italian players I'd rather they get into the mix sooner rather than later. Don't want them joining us too late as they might not have settled.
Not sure when our first pre season game is, I would presume it isn't too far away. I know a few of the other Championship clubs have already started theirs (I know Fulham have already played one)

Lets hope Cellino is finalising a few deals as we speak and they are ready to join this week, we need at least five or six IMO.

What wiki page do you use?

A Leeds United XI is playing Grimsby Borough today.

I just put a players name up and it shows a link to his wiki page, I then click on it and it says who their current club is, if they transfer wiki usually change it sharpish. It's say neither are at Leeds yet, unless you can see different Si.

I understand the process, just wasn't sure if you were using (my precious) 2014-15 Leeds United season or individual player pages. The most reliable place to check tends to www.leedsunited.com - if it's not been confirmed there, then the player isn't a Leeds player yet.

From someone attending the Grimsby borough game, watching a team of U21s:

Massive tactical shift from last season for #lufc u21s here. Short, sharp passing, big emphasis on playing it out from the back. Very tidy.

I wouldn't panic just yet. A lot of clubs including those bigger than Leeds have been linked to players but have not yet completed the signings. A lot of useful players still on market e.g. Ross, or still free agents. The longer you wait the less wages the agent player is likely to look for.
Silvestri is or would be a good buy so Cellino obviously figures its a priority to finalize his deal.
