I'm surprised that Kay, cowling, goulding, Smith, Amor, Aiton, Wilkes leaving from last year so far doesn't put us below that 1.1mill already tbh.

Had a jog with Aiton last week round pugneys,he told me then he was off to Leeds and could be scrumming down with a couple of mates. That can only mean 2 things.

Kylie and Delaney maybe?

After the jog did you also kiss his... to get this info. You're so full of it..

You forgot to add Mariano, Kyle Wood and now Mellars.

I would think the SKY money should pay for what is left of our squad and maybe leave us with a bit of 'change'

I see Aiton got a one match ban in the world cup.
Bloomin Leeds players. Always dirty cheap shot merchants!

The main thing is you kept Kirmond - and he's the guy you'll be able to build a team round steadily over the next coming years, should you avoid being relegated.

Otherwise, it's crucial the books balance if you do get relegated in order to survive the year in the lower league - so getting £70k for Aiton, all things considered I don't think is too bad.

There'd have been other vulture clubs looking for a cheaper deal than that you can guarantee

Hopefully Kirmond can do what JD did in 06

Apologies if I´ve missed this somewhere but how certain is it that Aiton has signed for Leeds, I haven´t seen an official announcement ?

Daily Star ran the story last week.

If that helps confirm or deny it.

Few people on Leeds forum turning their noses up at Aiton, we'll keep him then....snooty sods

I hope we have been in a position to keep our powder dry regarding any fee until after the world cup (if he is going of course) - you'd be mad to sell a player who is in it just beforehand. Imagine if he has a couple of stormers for PNG on the world stage, his stock would go up as a result.

Case in point see Mose Masoe, I would hazard that his worth has increased after that performance against NZ the other night - and had Saints not signed him up he could be in much more demand.
