Leeds and Transfer Rumours..

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Anyone noticed in recent weeks that whenever Leeds are linked with a transfer bid for a player that Risdale comes straight out and either confirms or denies it?

Much respect due for this....at least their fans are well informed...

They are being linked with everyone including Elvis Presley according to "young" manager David O'leary. It is good to see the fans getting an answer on the speculation but if they are really interested in a player, surely it is foolish to comment on it.

De Builder, For some clubs like NUFC it would be unwise to confirm or deny their interest in a player 'cos another club might come in and bid a slightly higher amount. However, for Leeds - with shedloads of cash in their kitty - they'll be trying to get the best players and will be letting those players know that they are really interested. Other clubs will have a hard time competing financially with Leeds and Leeds unsettles a player that, otherwise, may have been happy where they were.

Hmm I think you might have a point Si :((

Unfortunately we're feeding at the bottom of the barrel these days and have to be careful with what information we give out since we can get gazumped by more attractive/financially well off clubs :((

Well, it's how we lost that girlie Hamann last close season. Hopefully, YBR will have better luck hanging onto our best players.

Close season? Does that mean we can't shoot Maric?
