BMD seeks keeper Cure?
So what should we make of the Darjan Curanovic link?
Darjan Curanovic, the 27-year-old Slovenian keeper who has been training and guesting for Leeds during their tour of his native country has told Sky Sprts news he fancies his chances at Elland Road.
The stopper has previously been linked with Portsmouth and Middlesbrough, so could it finally be third time lucky?
"One of the goalies at Leeds United hurt his arm so they invited me to train with them. If everything goes by the plan there is also a chance for me to sign for Leeds," he said.
"Every player dreams about playing in England so I really hope that this will become reality for me."
At the weekend, the Yorkshire Evening Post reckoned there was no chance of Brian McDermott bringing in the Triglav Kranji keeper, so maybe the lad is trying to talk up some interest in him over here?
Leeds already have three recognised keepers in Paddy Kenny, Alex Cairns and injured Jamie Ashdown, so unless McDermott feels the need to move one of them on I cannot see there being much mileage on this one. However surely Paddy Kenny does not come cheap and there is opinion amongst many fans that Ashdown should be our number one.
Leeds conclude their pre-season tour of Slovenia with a match against Hungarian outfit Ferencvaros, who will be out to avenge the Inter Cities Fairs Cup final defeat of 45 years ago!

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
