Gradel

I do understand what you are saying Jonty.

It could be true, but I dont think it realistically is.

I know you doint like the way the lcub is run, and I can definitely understand some frustrations there.

You are dismissing a lot of news to justify your point though, and all of this is the news that is more positive towards the club.

Why wouldnt gradel and his agent have denied the claims he has asked fro 25k a week if it wasn't true?

Why would the club make that up? Surely that would put off bidders and lower his valuation as an asset, which you say leeds are trying to force out of the club to make money from?

Just because Leeds have a stricter wage policy and transfer policy than you would like, does not mean they are trying to ruin the club

Faith, what 'news' am I dismissing?

I've seen one or 2 tweets re 25k then lots of discusion in forums regurgitating those quotes.

I've seen no news about 25k, if that was what you're alluding to.

The club are great at claiming to do business behind closed doors and then changing the rules when they want to.

Remember Bates going public re Bradley Johnson who then had to defend himself publicly?

I don't trust Bates at all which is why I try and read between teh lines with most things the club puts out.

I'm not saying thatteh scenario you raised isn't correct, just saying how do you know.

Why would the club make that up?

Where have the club said what he wanted ?????

Just because Leeds have a stricter wage policy and transfer policy

But say they never get turned down for a player

Not a single person on here can point at official proof of what the wage structure is at Leeds or what a player is earning so it's all speculation really.

liw, the club hasnt, but that was in response to Jonty saying it must have come from the club, as gradels side wouldnt let it out.

But we have seen info from sources of the 25k, you dont believe this to be true, but why isnt gradel denying it then?

If I was to believe the Leeds side of the story it adds up and makes sense.

If i try and believe your side where its a theory that leeds are lying about the whole situation and really just want to force him out of the club....it seems to have plenty of flaws.

Faith, I don't know if the scenario put to you is the case at all, just trying to highlight the fact that we don't know much about the situation.

Maybe Gradel doesn't want to get into a war of words, who knows, I know Beckford didn't want to get involved in teh mud slinging, it sounded from Johnson interviews that he didn't either.

But do you really think it would have been one of Max's team that leaked anything about 25k?

We just have to wait and see on this one.

Why force him out?

He is worth whatever someone is willing to pay him, simple as that. If we value him we will offer him a suitable financial package. If he feels that offer is not good enough he will look at other offers.

I personally agree with our chairman about having a strong ceiling to such financial packages as I do not want to go through what we've gone through in recent years. We cannot be held to ransom by players, if they are not happy to stay on the club's sell them.

These players have flourished under the banner of LUFC and should show a bit more loyalty.

Suggestions he wants to head across the Channel now.
