As I said Leeds messing up about just as we had agreed a deal. Don't know what has happened just know it's enough for Gill and DP to stick the two fingers up and walk away. (For now)
Huddersfield offered more than our 90k haven't they but we won't match it
Quite rightly so if true, even though I personally would like to see us get ZH. However not at the expense of being fleeced for a player who will never play for his present club again, and who of course has plenty of potential baggage, even though in our environment I think he could well be rehabilitated.
I was told we actually offered 150k, which was accepted, but then Leeds moved sticks for another reason, other than Huddersfield. However I don't know how entirely accurate that version is, even though it came from a pretty decent source. So I am happy to go along with the 90k - Huddersfield version.
Whatever, IMO we don't want to be getting involved in a bidding war, nor stumping up a large amount of cash for a player who now has question marks surrounding him. He could easily be a sensation with us and back to what he was, but equally not. If Huddersfield have indeed offered much more than us, then fair enough let them have him, forget it and move on.
So I said to the Taxi driver, "King Edwards Close". He replied "It's alright we'll lose him at the next set of lights".
