  • Stephen Warnock: Has decided to join Leeds

Warnock, 31, turned down the chance to join the Hammers and completed his medical at Thorp Arch.

United boss Neil Warnock - who is not related - said: "I'm absolutely delighted. Stephen has the experience I think we need in that position.

"He is a former international who, for whatever reason, has been allowed to leave Aston Villa.

"He's a player I've tried to sign a few times before and I'm pleased he turned down West Ham to come here."

Warnock has played over 200 times in the Premier League for Liverpool, Blackburn, and Aston Villa.

He began his career with Liverpool before moving to Blackburn in a £1.5m deal in 2007. He left Rovers in 2009 to join Villa but he has fallen out of favour under Paul Lambert.

He spent three months on loan at Bolton this season, making 15 appearances.

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
