I thought the Leeds fans said he didnt want to leave EL? Looks like he did to me. Good luck Gradel onwards and upwards to better things!
the information we had said that he wanted to stay, right up until tuesday. I'm not convinced he really wanted to leave that badly, I think he's been swayed towards the move by Bates treating him like ****.
^ true! I tought they would have got about £5m... sounds like it was £1.5m.
odd they couldnt sell him for more, despite the contract situation- just look at maynard!!

Basic supply and demand. There were 5 clubs in for him, 3 in England, 2 in France. The 3 in England were all Championship clubs, and at the very least, they wanted to limit the damage, so refused to sell to a "rival" (yes, I know, it's hilarious hahahaha laugh it up ok done). Take those 3 out and there's just 2 french teams. Presumably only one could afford even the low transfer fee we got for him. As soon as a player hands in a transfer request their value drops.
Yeah, but you're not our rivals?
You're not suggesting you're battling for promotion are you?!?!
Plus you could have taken the 17.5% off for us.
Bates is a c*ck and he's has lost you money, he won't spend any, you need to get him out asap.
You will not be promoted with that clown in charge of your club.
