Lee Peltier for Mills - The Answer?

Just saw his name on twitter apparently we're interested.

Leeds and Bolton are in talks over a possible swap deal involving Matt Mills and Lee Peltier, Sky Sports understands.

Mills has been a long-term target for Leeds boss Brian McDermott, and he could now see a deal come to fruition.

Mills knows McDermott well from their time together at Reading, and Bolton appear keen on a deal - as the 27-year-old has struggled since his move from Leicester City last summer.

The deal has been made possible by Peltier's inclusion in the deal, and like Mills he could be moving just 12 months after his last transfer.

Peltier signed for Leeds last summer, also from Leicester where coincidentally he was a team-mate of Mills.

Thanks Sluffy!  

I'd be we'll happy with that deal

Can't see the benefit. Peltier's tiny for a CB (stated as 5'10'' in some places and 5'8'' in others) He's 26. He has no track record of success at any recognised level. He is a RB by trade.
In theory he's quite versatile - but by no stretch of the imagination is he the dominant composed CB that we need.
If Dougie goes for Peltier as CB he will get his pants pulled down.
What concerns me more than anything is that Matt Mills was decent before he came to us. He needs a shrink to get him back on track as he has proven he has the talent in the past.

NIXON rubbishing the story -

Q - is the Mills and Peltier story true? Peltier any good?

NIXON - Leeds have wanted Mills for ages. But just signed Wootton ... a bit odd. Checking.

- Nothing in that swap deal

- No contact

The bolton news have put in the paper today that Leeds are probably no longer in for Mills due to the Wootton signing.

Why would any manager want Mills at all, let alone after signing Wooten?

Thanks Owen. [copyright Sluffy]

We Andy Todd was a little fart but you wouldn't argue with him!

So Mills just needs to get his finger out and get back to the form he once had - as is true of a number of our players.

Hipster should burn for getting my hopes up - I was dancing around the room when I thought we were signing a 5'8'' centre half.

The other half is also 5'8'' - the lad's a giant.

Aye.. sounds like another good 'un alright
