Fra den utskjelte siten:

For all the Leeds fans, I work at the YP on Wellington St and whilst i'm not a football reporter, I am on the Sports team. I do therefore hear all the transfer rumours and official press releases before most. I can tell you now truthfully and honestly that the flurry of posts on here over the last few weeks are schoolboy stuff with no foundation whatsoever. Leeds Utd have not announced any new signings, there is nothing in the diary this week at all re: scheduled press releases. Also, I can assure you that Alan Smith will not be returning to Elland Road. We simply cannot afford his wages.
I know Smudger through friends and he is settled in Newcastle. He mentioned that he would like to see out his career there and he has a lovely home so cannot see this happening no matter how much the fans would like it. He was also dubious to the reception he would get at Elland Rd since he left for Man Utd all those years ago.
Adam Le Fondre
has not been in contact with anyone at Leeds and there is no truth in the Andy O Brien rumours either. I know what Grayson's remit is for this summer and for all of you getting giddy about big signings, it simply won't happen. He must stabilise the club in the Championship (top half finish) during 2010/11 to be able to invest in a promotion push in 2011/12. In the meantime, Bates is looking for further investment in the club from local sources and overseas. This has not amounted to anything substantial as of yet. The club cannot afford to spend big money –
Blackpool's success on a shoestring has simply inspired the directors to continue with their 'safety first' approach.
Ganske så troverdig!
MEN...litt håpløst i forhold til kilden til Smith-uttalelsen, Le Fondre - at han ikke har vært i kontakt med Leeds (hvordan vet YEP-medarbeideren det?) og linken til Blackpools suksess med få midler!!!!
Bare tull likevel, eller vill gjetning!
VI må merke oss at majoriteten av signinger kom helt på tampen av juli i fjor. Det samme kan nok skje i år!
