Well I assume as Bates has gone public claiming 4 new signings, Grayson has said he is working towards new signings, Bates has said he wants promotion, hence he wont sell “stars” etc….
If we weren’t doing anything or looking to cut costs he wouldn’t have said that and leave himself open to further abuse! I would quite like to have signed Iker Casilias, Lionel Messi and Xavi by now but the realities of 2nd division football means we probably have 3 or 4 targets for every position and assuming no premier league clubs are interested we will pick up some of those. There is absolutely no point paying transfer fees just to give the supporters some sort of sense of reassurance that the player is good. And in the last week or so we have been heavily linked with a Champions League winning goalkeeper, a £60k a week premiership midfielder/forward, a former Real Madrid defender who has commanded £30m ish in transfer fees and still we have no ambition. Some bloke who has spent his career at Preston blows us out for everton and its all disaster again. Unless you can go up to Thorpe Arch and help with the negotiations or call up a few international in their prime and convince then to sign for us just sit back and wait until the first game of the season. If no one has signed then you can predict relegation and death to Bates From: Ian Murray [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 08 July 2011 11:15 To: Matt Anderson Cc: <[email protected]>; Leeds United E-Mail List Subject: Re: [LU] Woodgate Come on Matt, the cynics are right 95% of the time.

One Preston keeper has turned us down, we still have Dudek and now Stockdale from Fulham as potentials. Cheer up!

Selling the goal keeper was just that. It wasn't thought out. It was take the dosh and hope for something. This is not a principled stand.
