I agree. If we offered £29m and had it rejected, it's time to look elsewhere. It'd be a great shame but IMO if Leeds really want to sell Rio, they have overplayed their hand.
It's likely Ridsdale is going to be the recipient of some pissed off phone calls from bankers on Monday.

One way or the other, Rio's got a REALLY cool car. 
We should tell'em to take 29m or feck off..

Might just come to that.

Agreed. Let's just hope its pulling in Carrington training ground in the near future.
We can't wait forever and Ridsdale knows this. He thinks he can extort 35m out of us by stalling, flying to Monaco, and sending Rio on that trip. What he need is for Rio to step up and take another step towards us. I'm sure Ridsdale tried to change his mind yesterday during the meeting. We need another statement from Fergie saying that we want Rio, and that Leeds are stalling. This will allow Rio to make another public statement re-iterating his position, which will work in our favour.
Or...we'll have to go fishing for Nesta.

he's not going to the far east, raoul...
risdale will budge, he needs the cash.. how can he turn down 29mil???

true, and plus its unlikely that Leeds will hold onto Rio beyond this year. Its just that LUFC's rival want to buy him is whats causing the extortion delays.
well lads as im hearing if rio is on the plane the deals off
we offered 30mil today but leeds are holding out for 35mil

There's nothing preventing negotiations from taking place while Rio is away.
well kevs just posted this to
if Rio flies to the Far east tomorrow the deal is OFF. Fergie has told cuntface Ridsdale that if Rio is on the plane he will look elsewhere. There WAS an offer of £30million today which the cnuts should have accepted it means they are still making £12million on the deal but they are holding out for £35m.
My info is that Ferdinand won't be on the plane...but that's unconfirmed, if he is on the plane we won't be signing him that I do know.
Pigsdale is just being a cnut because he knows how much we want Rio and how much Rio wants to come to United, personally I think they should pay the £35m as squabbling over £6m does not make sense, no player is worth that apart from my mate - arf - but seriously Rio has gone out on a limb and we can't let him down
believe me Kenyon will get the hairdrier of his life from Sir Al because Fergie was VERY tetchy tonite and has been on the blower to Rio all day trying to reassure him he is coming
Lids are just being cnuts and who is surprised by that, but have faith I don't think he'll be on plane
twat features spoke with Blackburn today re personal terms but nothing more to report on that but at least it seems certain this time he WILL be off
Keane may not play tomorrow - but nothing sinister I hear

Ridsdale's credibility will be in the gutter with their fans over this.
If he is not at OT in a brand new Nike shirt tomorrow, the deal will not be persued.
feck em I say, let's go after Ayala or Nesta.
Leeds can stew in their own juices for me. They've had a reasonble offer, and we shouldn't let them try to squeeze our bollocks anymore.

Who's Kev's sources?
I like the Fergie's been on the phone to Rio all day reassuring him that he will be coming. I can well imagine that's true.
In which case if it does fall through - then Rio is definitely going to be well pissed at Ridsdale.

Well, if it's 'he's on the plane the deal is off', then I suppose we've thrown the ball back at Leeds court.
Seems clear that Fergie has put his foot down about Rio not flying.
I think if Rio is told to get on the plane he may have to refuse if he wants to keep the deal alive.

What a load of fecking rubbish.....there was an offer of £26m today and Leeds said nothing less than £30m will be even considered.
How does anybody KNOW what Fergie, Kenyon or anyone else involved has been doing.
Why does everything stop if Rio gets on a plane...it is Ridsdale doing the negotiating not Rio. kev whoever you are you are an arse.
