Warnock - No players in before window closes - 26/8/12
Neil Warnock says he will not be signing any players before the transfer window closes this week.
The transfer window closes on Friday and Warnock says it will probably be September before they sign anyone else, with someone coming in on loan.
Speaking on Yorkshire Radio, Warnock said, "We won`t be buying anybody. I think the most we can expect is a loan signing if we can, going into September.
"We will have to be very lucky to get through with the squad we currently have."
Warnock has brought in ten players so far this summer and he is currently trying to negotiate a deal with El Hadji Diouf, who is currently at Elland Road on a non-contract basis.
The Leeds boss has been fortunate with the emergence of youngster Sam Byram, who once again made an impact from the bench in the win at Peterborough on Saturday.
Fellow youngster Dominic Poleon came on to mark his championship debut and Warnock says he is working with a great bunch of lads but a few injuries could leave them short. "They are a great bunch of lads. Young Sam (Byram) did well and so did Dominic (Poleon). We just need to be very lucky with injuries," added Warnock.
Leeds have already lost Paul Green for up to eight weeks this season after suffering a knee injury in the opening day win over Wolves and he has joined long-term absentees Leigh Bromby and Davide Somma on the sidelines.
Warnock is still hopeful that the club can sort out a deal to keep El Hadji Diouf at the club.
Leeds made Diouf an offer last week and the experienced Senegal international is still mulling over the deal.
Diouf could leave Leeds this week, with him being at the club on a non-contract basis and Warnock is still hopeful that the club and the player can come to some agreement over a deal to keep him at Elland Road.
Speaking on Yorkshire Radio, Warnock said, "We have held talks and with him being on a non-contract he can be released early next week if we don`t sign him and he is free to talk to other clubs.
"I hope we can give him some sort of offer that is acceptable to him before Tuesday."
Diouf made his first start for Leeds at Peterborough on Saturday before being replaced late in the game.
He has appeared in all four of Leeds games so far this season, since signing on a non-contract basis on the eve of the League Cup tie against Shrewsbury.
Warnock will be desperate to add the player to his small squad with the Leeds boss already admitting he is not expecting to sign any new players before the transfer window closes on Friday until the New Year.
Warnock felt his side deserved the three points after securing their first away win of the season at Peterborough United on Saturday.
Warnock was relieved to see out the game in the closing minutes and he felt they should and could have made the game safe. Speaking on Yorkshire Radio, Warnock said, "I thought we deserved it. It was a bit hair-raising near the end when we couldn`t finish them off.
"I thought we were quite professional today and deserved the win. You have to give them credit though; they fought back and put us under pressure.
"I thought we should have at least got a third. We had two or three great opportunities on the break but we couldn`t find the final ball and it wasn`t to be."
Leeds led 2-0 thanks to two goals from Luciano Becchio at the start of each half, the striker`s third and fourth goals of the season.
Peterborough had hardly scared the Leeds back line all day, until Michael Bostwick fired past Paddy Kenny with just under twenty minutes remaining, after a poor attempted clearance by David Norris.
Leeds substitute Sam Byram had a couple of chances to increase Leeds lead in the dying minutes and despite four minutes of 'Fergie time` Peterborough hardly threatened the Leeds goal.
The win for Leeds moves them up to sixth in the championship table at this early stage in the season having picked up six points from a possible nine.
The championship once again looks wide open this season with only Blackpool, the only side to defeat Leeds so far this season, still having a 100% win record.
Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn, Nottingham Forest and Charlton are the only other sides in the division still unbeaten after three games.
Crystal Palace and Peterborough are still looking for their first point this season having lost their opening three games and one of the pre-season favourites for the division, Birmingham have picked up just one point.
Next up for Leeds in the championship are Blackburn Rovers who were relegated from the Premier League last season.
The Lancashire club have picked up seven points from a possible nine but there is still unrest amongst the fans at Ewood Park, who continue to call for the sacking of manager Steve Kean despite a decent start to the season.
Warnock was full of praise for his players after the win at Peterborough United on Saturday.
Leeds won 2-1 thanks to two goals from Luciano Becchio and Warnock was satisfied with the performance after losing at Blackpool in midweek.
Warnock was especially pleased with the defence, who he believes are getting better with every game.
Adam Drury came into the defence for his first competitive game of the season in place of youngster Sam Byram. Lee Peltier moved to his more natural right back position, with Drury coming in at left back.
The central defensive partnership of Jason Pearce and Tom Lees looks to be blossoming with the young central defensive duo looking assured. Paddy Kenny in the Leeds goal, once again was there to make the difference when the Peterborough attack had a chance on goal, making two good saves.
Speaking on Yorkshire Radio, Warnock said, "I thought they all did well today. I thought the back four, even the back five, were fantastic. I thought they were solid and they are getting better each game."
Rodolph Austin continues to endear himself to the Leeds fans with another strong performance in midfield and Warnock was pleased with the wide men and strikers who had come in for some criticism from the Leeds boss following the defeat at Blackpool in midweek. "The two midfielders did well. I was disappointed with the front four the other night but I thought they were good today.
"We are a different side when Luciano plays, so let us hope he is on it a bit more.
"He could have had hat trick today but he was in the right place for his goals," added Warnock.
Becchio is once again in great goalscoring form after having a below par season last season.
The Argentinian striker has netted four goals in four games so far this season having scored just eleven goals last season, his lowest return in three full seasons at Elland Road.
Last season, Becchio missed the whole of pre-season following surgery on a hamstring injury and the hustling and bustling centre forward, who had become a huge fans favourite in his first two seasons at Elland Road, looked a shadow of that player. Despite his form he did still manage eleven goals.
The striker has enjoyed an almost full pre-season this summer, he looks much leaner and stronger, and having netted four times already he looks well set to beat his best return of 20 goals in Leeds first season in the championship in 2010/11.
Becchio is now the clubs longest serving player having joined in the summer of 2008 after a successful trial under Gary McAllister.
The 28 year old has now netted 71 times in 194 appearances for Leeds.
