Quote: Stan Butler "So big for his boots or worth the contract??......I would imagine if worth the extra £££'s you would of paid??

Seems strange that in todays climate, homegrown quota's etc etc that Leeds would let a future star go?

On the otherside of the coin, if he is worth the dollar, who's place is he taking?'"

We've no problems with our quota and the cap is proving that you can't keep every player you produce.
We also have a very rigid wage structure which GH won't break for anyone.
The way ratu sees it is he's better off at rovers both contract and playing 1st team wise and good luck to the lad.
Afterall he isn't joining the SL timebomb that is HFC is he???

Quote: Mrs Barista "icon_lol.gif Surely signing Hall in a year's time would be a kick in the teeth for Ratu?

Why, are you only allowed one player for every position?

Timebomb??.....Exploded a while ago chief!!!

So Leeds wouldn't pay him what he thought he was worth??

Or give him a first team slot?

Why?

There are systems in place at leeds that have worked well for us and obviously ratu see's this as an oppurtunity to play more 1st team games and earn a good SL wage he isn't the 1st and won't be the last.

He got greedy, came back and begged, and was told to fook off.

What has he gained by going to Rovers??

Paying players above their capabilities will bite you in the arris as it has us over the last few years.

Systems in place??

Can you elaborate?

Do you mean not paying over the odds, on a lengthy deal, limiting you going forward?

I'd imagine that having Senior, Coady, Watkins and Delaney signed up means they don't need him. Much the same with Ashley Gibson, simply not room under the salary cap or he's elected to take a two year deal with us as opposed to a one year deal with them

This is similar to fox,murrell and scruton where we had a good squad and that's taken into account when new deals are negotiated.
Sometimes players accept the terms and stay to fight for a spot and on other occasions they accept the better offer and leave it's that straight forward and although like i said before i'd of liked him to stay and it could bite us GH has been very successfull in running the club this way.

Quote: MrPhilb "Another good young british player, Maybe moulded to replace Jake Webster who is out of contract at the end of 2010 and the quota yet again decreasing.

Lets see if Justin can get the best out of him'"



or even more plausible, cover for chev who is likely to be out all next season

Do you see Chev being offered a new deal?

If he was to be paid off, which is a possibility, I should imagine the pay off and Ratu's wages won't be too far off....which in fairness is probably good business as at least you get a player on the pitch for the same money.

If paying both.............

they can also just de register him and then give him a 1yr contract if he makes it back to prove himself worthy of another contract
