Bowyer transfer listed

Please let this latest twist be true. Bowyer is as important to Leeds as Keane and Beckham combined are to MU.

1 man doesn't make a team and all that..... but for 2 years at Leeds that has been the case. And we can never sign anyone even close to that quality for £15mill.

Let HK go before Bow !!
 
Yep. All he has to do is not play football for a year. Can't see it happening as he is one player that hates being sidelined (no matter how many times he suspends himself).

I think Mr Bowyer has discovered it wasn't as easy as he thought it was. Unless he gets a big money move and pays the legal bill with that.

I can't believe he had the hide to turn down a contract with a club that paid nearly 1 milion ounds in legal fees for him.

You've got to expect your better players to want out with no CL qualification...I agree he's shafted you tho...

Shame.. ;)

And its easier to say that you'll play one of your best players in the reserves than it is to actually go ahead and do it..

Leeds won't play him in the reserves. No matter how pissed off they are, it does not make sense to let him do nothing for a year. If he's decided to go and leave on a Bosman, then Leeds should treat him like Liverpool treated McManaman and let him play his time out.

And if he was in the reserves, I can hardly imagine what the supporters at ER would think watching Jacob Burns try to do the job.

It's just a shame that PR and DOL fell at the knees of the press nonsense after the trial and fined him. They should have stood by their man, and announced that the whole thing would be dealt with internally. None of this would have occurred if they had been loyal to Bowyer after he was cleared.

I can't believe there is till a Leeds fan that thinks DOL/PR/LUFC have NOT been fair to LB....get the facts and think again mate.

I can't believe that anyone really believes this mess would have occurred if Bowyer had not been fined to calm down the gutter press following the trial. He is giving them the finger for that incident. All the bollocks about furthering his career is nonsense.
He will be an England regular by September after the current bunch of clowns in the England world cup midfield are sent packing in tatters after the group stages.

If the club and its top brass (PR and DOL) had closed the shutters when the bitter press and TV journalists were banging on the door, they would not have lost Bowyer's commitment to the club.

It is unfortunate that it seems it is the way Leeds conduct business these days ie in the public eye (as with DOL slating Danny Mills in the press at the weekend)

And now with Ridsdale saying that he hasn't given up hope of getting Bowyer to stay - what a joke making big statements like 'waste of our time' on day and then this latest line.

I'm sure you are aware that midfielders of Bowyer's quality are pretty rare - I just hope they can get him to sign again no matter how much egg or shite the chairman get's on his face.
 
I agree the way the whole Bow/Woody incident was handled could have been done better but Bowyer was fined for being drunk in the city centre - nothing else.

He perpetuated the whole thing by crying to the papers etc and saying he was being hard done to - If he had taken the fine on the chin as Woody did it would have blown over quicker.

He also is lucky to have been given £850,000 by his club to pay his legal bill.

Bowyer is a vital part of Leeds United at the moment and he will be missed - I will be sad to see him go but my club comes before any individual.
