Breaking: Rio to decide on Tuesday

IT's 5am UK time, wonder when we'll hear anything from Rio... <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" /> <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />
 
I think Rio would be a great addition to the array of talented individuals we have at United. He will most certainly compliment the team and ensure that we continue on the successful road we have become accustomed to.

Let's all try and be patient with Rio and accept his decision one way or the other. Either way we are in for an exciting season.

Glory, Glory, Glory Man United !!!!!!

So I've been hurrying home to read some good news on here (since Rio stated that he'd make his decision tuesday - last day of the 48 hour mark he set) and I find nothing... so what is it gonna be? Is the decision coming tomorrow or what.
 
No news is good news - I hope. <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

Actually if Rio had chosen Leeds it would be everywhere by now. I think he's gone to the board and asked to leave. The board have thrown up a smokescreen - "even if we Rio asks to leave the answers no" - while negotiating the fee with Utd.

The next thing we'll here is Rio has signed or the deal is immanent.
 
I was reading a quote on teletext this morning from Risdale. It was something like
"we've received no bids. If he asks for a move we'd turn him down. Were does Rio think he is going...into thin air?"

read into that what you will..

And yet, instead of forcing Rio to say SOMETHING, which he surely has the right under the circumstances (assuming Ridsdale is telling the truth), he keeps talking to the media (subsequently, the fans) instead.

What does that tell you?

Risdale's playing games. Why would Rio come out and say "I have a big decision to make" etc, if he hasn't been approached. Risdale is trying to cushion the blow for Leeds fans, he's trying to make it seem like he's not 'selling Rio', Rio is 'leaving', when in fact, he wants to cash-in on him. The only person playing 'dirty tricks' is you Mr Risdale.

The only snag in the move is what PFA executive Taylor mentioned the other day:

"sporting sanctions would apply not only to him but also to the club that signed him. That club could be fined, have points deducted or even excluded from competitions. It is very unlikely anyone would risk that."

I can't see this being resolved this week.

This is only in the case Ferdinand walks out on Leeds, under new FIFA regulations. But if Leeds and United agree a fee (whic his the only way this can go, Ferdinand will not walk out on Leeds and we won't agree to be a part of something like that), then those regulations don't play a role at all.

I interpreted that as a message to United: "make a bid".

Whats the point of bidding? You either get it accepted or rejected. No point in doing that while the clubs are in negotiations anyway.

I agree Giggzy. I doubt Rio's gonna come out publically and make a mockery of himself by claiming he has been approached. As I said, Risdale's playing games.
 
It's Thursday now.Still no Rio. :)
