Leeds resigned to losing Thomas
The prognosis looks grim as far as Jerome Thomas at Leeds is concerned as Neil Warnock confirmed the player returned to West Bromwich early and other clubs are "sniffing around him".
Having already conceded defeat in signing one West Brom player, Chris Wood who joined Leicester with Warnock claiming we were unable to compete with the Foxes financially, could Jerome Thomas be another one that got away?
The winger initially made a big impact arriving in November on an emergency loan deal, however his time with us tailed off due to injury and he missed our last two matches with a virus being blamed for his no-show during the win over Bolton.
Warnock claimed that a permanent deal could be in the offing, but his admission that we aren't the only club interested is bound to set alarm bells ringing amongst fans who appear to be told that "patience" is the key word as the transfer-window reopens.
Unfortunately for new owners GFH Capital, the notoriously difficult January market is being viewed as a statement of intent by many as to their plans for the future at Elland Road. Missing out on Thomas would be seen as a big blow.

Sunderland AwaydazeOur game at Sunderland kicks off on Friday night at 8pm, thanks to yet another Sky Sports selection. You'll find the Stadium of Light on the site of the former Monkwearmouth Colliery on the north bank of the River Wear, the opposite side from the city centre.
Farke happy with the draw at Carrow RoadMost of the fans who watched last night’s visit to Norwich City would accept that a draw was a fair result after an even contest, and Daniel Farke was happy to take a point from a difficult away game against one of the better teams in the division.
Norwich AwaydazeWe visit Norwich City on Tuesday, and kick off is at 7.45pm. You’ll find Carrow Road less than a mile to the south-east of the city centre. It’s not the main game on Sky that night, but some of their packages will include the option to watch the game live.
Leeds cruise to comfortable win over CoventryLeeds totally dominated this game against a lacklustre Coventry City, and if anything should have won more comfortably. It now looks like the team is coming together, though there will be tougher tests in the weeks to come.
Leeds get back on track against woeful Cardiff After last week’s defeat, Daniel Farke must have been thankful that the fixture list gave us the division’s bottom team as our next opponents. But although we got the win we needed, it was against a desperately poor Cardiff City who had to play with ten men for over an hour, and somehow it felt strangely unconvincing.
Cardiff AwaydazeThis season’s visit to Cardiff City is on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off, and you’ll find their current stadium to the west of the city centre, only a quarter of a mile from their former home at Ninian Park.
Leeds suffer frustrating defeat at the hands of BurnleyOnce again Leeds dominated the possession but couldn’t find their way past a determined and well-organised defence. So it was Burnley who took the points after taking advantage of one of the few occasions when they were able to break downfield.
Leeds pay tribute to former captain Sol BambaSol Bamba passed away on Saturday at the tragically early age of 39. The tribute on the club’s official website was one of many, as the football world paid it’s respects to a defender who was highly regarded by everyone in the game who came into contact with him.
