Sorry, what's the standard definition for 'Leeds people'?

Is it 'people from Leeds', 'supporters of Leeds', 'suppliers of electrical leeds'?

What Giles Barnes deal was that?

According to ITK Archibald (Spursodyssey) a deal was agreed between Spurs and Derby last January for Barnes - but then, just a few days before the transfer dead-line Derby increased their price for Barnes (not sure by how much) and Levy just cancelled the deal.
IMO Levy should have paid up, though it was unethical what Derby did. If Spurs wanted Barnes now they most probably would have to pay even more than that anyway...

what so he should basically bend over a barrell and say "hey even though we agreed a price a few days ago, yeah i will pay up and pay the inflated price that we reached an agreement over, hell we'll even give you ghaly as well if you want"

good job hes running the country and not you :up:

£1 million Spurs switch for Doncaster starlet




DONCASTER- born Daniel Rose has been snapped up by Spurs from Leeds United in a £1 million deal.
Nephew of former Doncaster Rovers star Mark Rankine, the 16-year-old was spotted by Leeds as a ten-year-old playing for Barnby Dun Juniors and joined their Centre of Excellence.

He forced his way into the Leeds squad last season and was regarded as a star of the future by the West Yorkshire side.

Spurs were one of a number of top clubs, including Liver-pool, Everton and Arsenal, to show an interest the left-footed England U-17 international.

“You could see that he had a special talent as young as six,” said Mark’s brother, Des.

According to Archibald… Oh, well, that settles it. It must be 100% true.

All that was certain was that Billy Davies pretty much said that Barnes would be sold over his dead body, and that the Derby board (not the same craven shower that were in charge a couple of years ago) then said there was no financial need for them to sell him whether they were promoted or not. And then Barnes himself said he wanted to stay.

Archibald apparently works at the Lane, and posts whatever information he gets in good faith. That doesn't necessarily mean it's right. There may have been some kind of deal; then again, there may not.

I do remember that Barnes was withdrawn (not injured) from the Derby squad for their match on the last day of the transfer window, so it looked like he was moving.
