Line we heard earlier has it that if Viduka signs for Leeds, then we are up for Bridges for #8m.

The down side of that is that that the Makems wrote in a sell on clause (alledgedly 50% of anything over #5m) so would be up for about #1.5m of the deal.....

Do we want to put money into their pockets

We could have had him last year for #5mm if our then Manager had had half a brain.
I'd love to see him in a B&W shirt, but I'd be very surprised....

When the driver heard Bridges to Newcastle I hope he meant the new blinking eye bridge.

I would'nt buy him if there is this sell on clause. Dont want to line the pockets of those mackem b*******s.

I dont rate him anyway, Alan Smith is a much better prospect.

Newcastle already has lots of bridges, Tyne Bridge... High Level...... it's the anorak over there!

Clarky - you echo my thoughts. Do you suppose we could let them have Lionel back instead of the #1.5M? Not a bad player, but #8M???

Leeds aren't going to sell Bridges. For a start, they only have three quality strikers, while Smith is still learning. Secondly Leeds have confirmed they will release both Kewel and Viduka for the Sydney olympics, plus when they are needed for our World Cup qualifying games.

They need Michael Bridges.
