Signings still sparse at Elland Road

Leeds Uniteds' summer frustrations seem to role on with few signings or rumours coming from Elland Road. With pre-season well underway, United will be hoping to conclude any further dealing as soon as possible.

Only Seb Carole has officially signed for the club with David Livermore still to agree personal terms (although this is not expected to cause a problem) and Hayden Foxe remains on trial - but the question being asked is who else will be joining the club before the season starts.

With the midfield looking the weak area for the most part of last season, many fans expected to see a major signing of two to 'complete' the jigsaw but little has been forthcoming so far. The situation in Italy may see some new names joining the Premiership which in turn, may create some new loan opportunites from the big boys. The entire market is known to have been slow whilst both the World Cup and the Italian match fixing situation was resolved so the next week or so could be interesting..
