Kilkenny bid 'from a big club' rejectedhttp://www.yorkshireeveningpost.c...ited-Whites-reject-bid.5336316.jpLeeds United have turned down a bid from Championship outfit Doncaster Rovers for midfielder Neil Kilkenny. The Aussie schemer was wanted by Rovers before he headed to Elland Road in the January transfer window last year with the South Yorkshiremen having reignited their interest this week. They were interested in signing the 23-year-old last season when he was out of favour, but he enjoyed a renaissance in the seasonal run-in under Simon Grayson. Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll said: "I have spoken to Leeds manager Simon Grayson about Kilkenny's availability and the response was that they are not looking to sell him - although every player has their price - and that's as far as it has gone." |

Apparently they also want Beckford, though reading between the lines they seem to want both on the cheap.
I'd be disgusted if Beckford went to someone like Doncaster or Scunthorpe. Why? Because even though they are one league above there is no way they should be able to offer better wages than we can, specially for our star players. If Beckford went to one of these 'overachievers' (Donny, Scunthorpe, Peterborough, Blackpool etc) that would give a lot of credence to those rumours that suggest the offer made to him was a formality only and Bates never intended to keep him beyond this summer. |
