no shit
our first bid a week ago was already a British record fee
I hope it's £30.1 million
Sky News's saying nothing about talking to Rio. Apparently Ridsdale and Kenyon are locked in talks over Ferdinand in the south of France, with a 30m fee likely to be the outcome.
all it says is that the ridiculous, arbitrary deadline ridsdale put on the deal has been scrapped -- which makes venables and ridsdale look like fools, especially after all they said in this morning's papers....
let's hope united come to their senses in time, and pull out of the deal before we spend far too much money on mr 85 minutes.

It says talks are on going Rosie...not fee agreed.
MU must have upped their offer yet again...Ridsdales getting good at this.

It said that they'd agreed on the 11 ocklock news.

You really are lost in all this aren't you mate....Ridsdale knows that MU desperately need a CB and rather foolishly Fergie played his card a little too early as did Rio with his transfer request. MU also believed that Leeds HAD to sell Rio when in fact, as has been shown by Ridsdales hard stand, they don't. Hence Leeds have been able to force MU to go to the fee Leeds only dreamed of getting...great bit of business Ridsdale.
£30 million is the fee.

That will do nicely....as AEBM said it goes someway to getting over Wilkinsons stupid idea of selling you Eric for peanuts.
30m will be a decent fee if Rio ends up staying for a decade and presiding over 10 or so trophies.
where did u read about Rio talking to Man Utd?
i just saw headlines saying the noon dealine was scrapped.. erhm, so can anyone explain what that means?

30m sounds like on top of that Boca Juniors UNICEF game, United have joined a Greenpeace 'save the sheep' campaign.
I just hope that towards the end of those '10 years' Rio will get the better of that 1-howler-a-game average of his.

That's very true Raoul - I am not saying he is not a good buy for you cos he is...I have said before I see him being part of a Pallister/Bruce like partnership for years to come and will certainly help you towards the title this year.
But, this deal is also good for Leeds as I think to get £30m+ for him is good business at a time we need to rebuild. We will be able to put the Bowyer/Rio and other money to good use.
Good deal all round.

Dear me, you do love Risdale, don't you! The reason the deadline has been scrapped is that his bluff has been called. I hear that Kenyon refused to be pushed, and threatened to walk away from the deal. Like I said, we can afford to wait, you can't
What does Liverpool pulling out of the Bowyer deal mean now?
Interesting that all the players that want to screw Leeds (especially Bowyer) have ended up in sticky situations as per the transfers getting messy.

Kenyon should tell Ridsdale to take £20m or go bancrupt now
Sky sports news also say ribsdale eager to push deal through
Yawn.
Repeat again.
Leeds' debt of 60 million is repayable over a 25 year bond.
15 million is all that is required this season.
Getting boring repeating this for the people that just can't understand this concept.

So, we should bid £15m for Rio then
It means that our deal for Rio should be done and dusted today. Now on for Duff.
I agree pull out. Dont mess with the big boys, and have a little respect in yer negotiations Pricksdale. <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />
