By DAVID KENT

Monday 2nd June 2014.

Ross McCormack is set to leave cash-strapped Leeds United after manager Brian McDermott lost his job.

McCormack, 27, was the Championship’s top scorer last season with 29 goals and the Scotland striker handed much of the credit to McDermott, who spent less than 14 months in the job.

McCormack, rated by Leeds at about £8million, is wanted by a host of clubs headed by Celtic, West Ham, Leicester and Malaga.

Most wanted: Ross McCormack is set to leave struggling Leeds for around £8m with several clubs interested


Brian McDermott has left Leeds United by mutual consent the club has announced
Leeds owner Massimo Cellino blames bank technicality on failure to pay players' wages
Massimo Cellino agrees to sell Cagliari for £69m as he switches his focus to Leeds
If Massimo Cellino is looking for trouble, he'll surely find it at Leeds

He is understood to be deeply upset by the manager’s treatment.

McCormack recently said: ‘Everyone knows what I think of Brian. He has to be given a chance to do his job properly. He deserves that at least.’

Wouldn't pay 4 million for him.

£8million?? Haha not a chance. If Leeds are financially destroyed as it's being made out then other teams are going to use that as leverage.

He's a huge Rangers fan so Celtic seems unlikely and Sam doesn't often go for untried in the Prem. So maybe Leicester? If we are losing Campbell id like us to go back in as he's decent on the wing too.

A £1.5 million man at most, great at penalties though, I wouldn't take him or want him.

Re: ' Ross McCormack is set to leave cash-strapped Leeds '

Tue Jun 03, 2014 9:30 am

I'd be very shocked if they get £8 mill for him. If we were in for him I wouldn't pay no more than £3 mill but good luck to him wherever he goes, very good player on his day. :ayatollah:

Apparently he was bid 6 mil by us in january, after first turning down 4 mil. Leeds have any regrets? Think so.

Re: ' Ross McCormack is set to leave cash-strapped Leeds '

Tue Jun 03, 2014 1:44 pm

Over priced at 6 mil. Prob 2.5m at the most. I foyu remember when he left us he was getting a little porker :oops: :oops:

Re: ' Ross McCormack is set to leave cash-strapped Leeds '

Tue Jun 03, 2014 1:58 pm

No club on the planet will pay £8 million for him?...........Not even us!

Would offer either one of Maynard, Kenwyne or Mason plus 2mil to bring him back here! Mason is the one I'd least like to see leave though.

Could always play Ross on the wing or as a secondary striker. Campbell, Macheda and McCormack are all able to play on the wing or as a CF, so that would give us a lot of options to switch up tactics!

maybe im just being too greedy though:

.........Guerra - Macheda
...........McCormack
....Daehli - Mutch - Campbell
Fabio - Cala - Turner - Brayford
..............Marshall


Noone and Le Fondre as super subs


You score 3, we'll score 4 tactics! :ayatollah:
