Title: Kilkenny valued at £3,000,000 by Leeds
Post by: Matty on May 25, 2010, 10:45:38 am
To say we were after him last summer his value seems to have shot up. Is he really good enough to warrant that fee, afterall he has had minimal championship experience or is it weeds taking the biscuit.

Tell them we'll give them 1p in the pound, just like they did to everyone they owed!

it was actually 8p in the £1, which would make him worth about £240k, about right me thinks.

What is it with Leeds commanding seemingly high sums for average players. How can ANY midfielder who has only played at league 1 level be worth that amount???

This was a figure put about in the press, I really don't think Grayson has even contemplated selling him. For 3 million though I'd be tempted, although I think he could be a very influential player for us next year. League One stifeld him a little, but the higher you go the better the football.

£3,000,000 was a figure plucked out of mid-air by the Press.  If anybody does offer that amount, I'll drive him their myself.

Like Fabian Delph do you mean?

This figure has to be some sort of joke.  He only gets in the team for half of the games.

Your right he did, i just thought he was a youngster loaned out by Birmingham to Oldham. He never made it as a regular, obviously why he plying his trade at league 1 level.
