LUFC issue statement that they no not wish to sell Ross McCormack??

1.) 03 Jul 2014
MC just stating what he thinks the fans want to hear - I reckon RMC has been sold & MC got strikers in place to replace him(but new strikers need to be as good, if not better)

2.) 03 Jul 2014
I agree, I've seen it many times before with Leeds (and other football clubs). I particularly remember:

"Rio Ferdinand is NOT for sale".

A week later he was gone.

3.) 03 Jul 2014
Still doubtful that he'll be here start of the season, might have just released the statement to let those that bid for him know that it's going to cost them. Do hope that if we do sell him that we don't leave it till the last minute like we've done before making it tough to find a replacement.

He's just stating that so other clubs don't come in with a lowball offer now Rmc has handed in a transfer request!

If that's the case then get his lazy arse over in Italy!!!

6.) 03 Jul 2014
If he wants to go let him go, he'll never score 28 in a season again in view and he's the one who will regret leaving when he's stuck in championship and we get promotion, I want players who have there heart in it and want to play for the badge, no ones irreplaceable

Dont keep someone who wants to go. £10mill can get u a lot.its football. won't be worth 10mill by next summer. he's not a ronaldo or a messi, he's just a good goalscorer in a bad league. he's shown his loyalty in the past which is admirable, he owes us nothing. wish more players showed us more commitment like he does.

Totally agree with Martyn enough said

9.) 03 Jul 2014
My problem with all this transfer speculation is this.

If these Italian league players are so useful, why are they where they are, not at "Better" clubs.
Why when Watford chose an Italian Recipe did they not go after same players.

Why are players ( well 1 we know of )being considered for LUFC who essentially are "Conference" players with dubious pasts.

Very disturbing.

Personally, I think MC is just trying to increase his price/value. It makes a refreshing change to try and squeeze every last penny out of the transfer.But I do agree he will leave. MOT

They took their time to say this which makes me believe that it is just a way to up the asking price. £10m is a lot of money for a 27 year old who has never been in the top division. If he is not happy and we fan get that for him why would we keep him. An unhappy player does not normally play well

12.) 03 Jul 2014
Incorrect: Leeds statement says Leeds does not NEED to sell Ross.
Completely different to not wanting to sell and aimed at getting the best price possible.
The clue is in the statement. Now, go back and try READING THE WORDS ON THE PAGE.

13.) 03 Jul 2014
Agree with rover and sir phil. two very good points. no point specualting on players who we know little about and have not got, look at the facts, players being let go for free left right and centre and our only two signings are taylor and hockaday with blackman also looking very likely, this is very worrying.

also like the fact we have said we do not need to sell ross, ross has to go he is not happy with direction club is going in. he has been loyal and good luck to him, but good to try and raise fee. we let too many good players go under bates, players leave but get the right price for them. under bates ross would of gone for about 2.5 mill

14.) 03 Jul 2014
I don't know if I totally agree with don't keep someone who doesn't want to stay. 6 August 2013 Let me leave Liverpool pleads Suarez. Luis Suarez, 2013/2014 season, 37 apps 31 goals. I don't think its all over just because RMC is having doubts about the current regime. I'd like him to stay, at least he is proven

15.) 03 Jul 2014
We'll played massimo that will stick a few more million on marching on without Ross??

Ross proven he's had 1 decent season out of 10, without looking he had a spell last season when he score 1 goal in 10 weeks just after Xmas, please tell me what that proves in Lehman terms?

17.) 03 Jul 2014
Leeds with RMC is a better team with him in it 28 goals last season your can't replace a player like that at our level not just on the pitch but off it too he's a leader and wears the shirt with pride more players should be like him he has to stay if we want to go up

18.) 03 Jul 2014
Someone who keeps banging in transfer requests isn't my idea of a good leader!

19.) 03 Jul 2014
Who wants to play for team that ain't going no where its done the the owner and this new coach to pull there finger out there arse and make sure he wants to stay keeping RMC is like signing a new player matt smith already said he would be gutted if RMC left would give the whole team a boost I agree that he shouldn't of put transfer request in

If that is true, it proves he scored 28 goals in 28 weeks

If you are praising Ross so much (without googling) what was his best tally in 1 season before last year?

22.) 04 Jul 2014

that was off the top of my head from watching him last season but won't be a million miles away.
I have met Ross around 8-9 times so sort of know him and he's a VERY nice guy bought me a beer (im easily pleased lol) had a quick chat etc BUT!
The point i'm trying to make is Ross is 28 soon and he's had 1 good season. MC said he wants to get LUFC into the premiership in 2-3 yrs, if he does that will make Ross 31? I think if we can get over £6 mill then let him go and invest the money in a couple of younger guys for the future.

ONLY MY OPINION

Hi Andy MOT
I’m not looking to fall out with you – I’m just saying, I’d have RMC in my team. Potential is great, but experience is also good. My initial posting was a response to other comments regards if RMC wants to go, that means 100 percent he will be going – but yes, to your point, if the 8million that seems to be getting banded about is true, then it is definitely worth considering.

McCormack, who has asked for a transfer, was booked on the flight but did not turn up and the Championship club are still waiting for an explanation. They are regarding it as a breach of his contract and intend to fine him up to a month’s wages.

25.) 05 Jul 2014
1 good season or not he will score the goals that takes us up just like his goals help us stay up how many of his goals won us games give him some respect
