Blythy, could you post a link direct to the radio feed please?

<a href="http://www.talksport.net/listennow.asp" target="_blank">http://www.talksport.net/listennow.asp</a> will not load for me.
 
thats the link.

Leeds fans are really slaggin him off. Slaggin us off (have we done anything wrong) and accusing the press of Man United loving :rolleyes:
 
Some interesting points are being made:

'Why do we want a player who can just turn on you, despite claming to be 'happy'.'

We're being accussed of using the media to get Rio, and the media are all 'Man United lovers.'

'Poaching a player from a smaller club is wrong', and yet, where did Leeds get Rio from?

'Contracts mean nothing to Rio.'

'Rio has got himself into a mess. United are not making another bid, he wants to leave Leeds for a club that aren't prepared to pay for him'

That last link doesn't work for me. Have to upgrade my media player. <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" />
 
The Rio item has been back on . A rambling sheep fan says he was in an office when about 6/7 weeks ago when he overheard a phonecall from Rio's mum in which she said that Man Utd had approached her .

So its Rio's mum we should be sending roses to. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Basically it's all very clever chess playing as I see it.

Assuming Leeds want/have to sell and United know this to be true, things are working very well in United's favour.

United offer a 20M bid which is rejected out of hand.

Rio is advised to then ask for a transfer. Which he does.

United then appear to cool their interest now that Leeds have a player who wants to leave. They say that they would only make a new offer if Leeds say they are listening to bids.

Rio's agent has already made the statement that Rio would love to play for 'Manchester United' who are a 'bigger' and 'better' club. This tells all rival clubs where he wants to play his footie.

If Leeds PLC vote to say they will listen to bids, that opens the door for a new cash bid around 25 Million. Which would have to be put to the PLC at Leeds, and would likely be accepted.

Rio moves to OT

United fans are happy!

:D

Leeds fans are then appeased by the signing of Ayala, who I think will be a hit in English footie.

Apparently we should pay £50m for him according to some Leeds fan - despite the market conditions.

Its been pointed out that despite us having money, leeds need it just as much as we do - herein lies the problem imo.
