I can assure you elmo that if the 'Rio Saga' gets into the personal terms stage, it will happen a lot faster than Bowyer. 
So, has Ridsdale returned to his holiday in France?

I'd tell them to Get Lost if they turn down the next one
Yes but as has been pointed out Leeds are only playing the professional game because Rio asked to go....so he hasn't appreciated anything at Leeds and doesn't want to stay there.
Honestly, Man Utd have the money but do you think you really should be spedning in excess of 30 million on one defender? Especially when Fergie was so convinced Wes Brown was better when Leeds bought Rio.

Excellent..
Keep going..
Maybe we should just cut out losses. There is a limit to how much we should spend.
Davo...I'm in agreement. This is kinda crazy money for a defender. He's good...but this just pushes the price expected to be paid for others higher.
How much will Nesta be worth if Rio goes for more than 30 million?

So it took the whole day just to have a 29m bid turned down ?
There is no link to this information anywhere on the web.
How much do you think Man Utd will spend?

well id just bid 32mil if the big nosed twat turns that down just tell him to feck off and go else where and let his club go belly up
As I've said before Rio has 4 years left on his contract and Leeds don't HAVE to sell..so the way I see it is that even though Rio would get stick for saying he wanted to go if Leeds price him out of the move he'll still perform as he wants to be a good player.
Maybe it will be a warning to other players to not think making a transfer request immediately gets oyu out of contract.
I still think he'll be sold though.

I told you, he's squeezing our bollocks. Greedy bastard! <img src="graemlins/annoyed.gif" border="0" alt="[Annoyed]" />
It's all going to come down to how much we want a new defender and how much debt they want to relieve.
feck em I say, lets go after Nesta!

But it would be cheap for a donkey
It says Leeds are holding out for 35 million and no less. They hold his contract for 6 years of which he has served less than 2. Maybe they will be prepared to hold on to him if Man Utd don't pay what they want?
I'll say they'll sell for just over 30 million though.

isnt it 4am in sydney, elmo?
Oh FFS !!!!
Been refreshing sports sites all day in hope to hear a deal has been struck.......Surely if we bidded near £30 Million, Leeds PLC should have accepted.
I now think we should talk with Ayala's agent as this will be a good alternative and could show Leeds that we wont be held to ransom.

Been confirmed now of £30 Million bid...Listening to Teamtalk radio.

Sky say they want 30 million, If they turn down the next bid we should go for Ayala for 10million and wait for Christmas and go for him again for Knockdown price

It's 3.15am. I haven't been able to sleep this week for family reasons (my Grandad is terminally ill in Ireland) so I'm still up as unable to sleep.

We've offer a fair price, yet your chairman wants more. Well, he's not going to get it.
We dont care if you go bankrupt!
We won't go bankrupt if we keep Rio...so keep on bidding.

Anything over 30m, we should give the money to Lazio and ask for Nesta and Crespo.
Rio is worth 30m if Thuram at 22m last Summer is a benchmark, but we all know it's a bear transfer market at the moment.

Bearing in mind that Blanc will move on after next season and Wes may or may not become Rio's partner will Man Utd splash the cash again next season for another CB?
How much money does Fergie want to spend in his last few years as Man Utd manager?

This is dead!
The PLC won't pay any more and SAF has run out of time, Rio has his tickets booked and we have to look else where, I don't think Leeds will go bust but they will never get a chance like this to cut so deep into there overdraft, What happens if they win nothing and don't get a CL place?
By the end of this session £29m could appear to be a lot of money if you are a member of the Leeds PLC.
