Leaky Agents And Ramon Nunez
Following the exit in the Carling Cup last night, Leeds United will be looking to complete ongoing transfers and prepare ahead of Saturday’s game against Watford.
Many fans commented yesterday that it seemed odd for the club to release a statement confirming they were in talks with Cardiff City striker Ross McCormack. It has now been revealed that it was a joint decision between the two clubs after McCormack’s agent had talked to Sky about the deal. It’s not surprising that it has annoyed both Simon Grayson and chairman Ken Bates. Rumours have now arisen that another Cardiff player, Gavin Rae, could be heading to Leeds. Neither Grayson nor Bates has commented on this though the chairman did confirm that the club are interested in acquiring a new midfielder.

Many Leeds fans will have heard the name of the 24 year old Honduran international by now. Nunez, who can play in midfield or in attack, has been described as “doing okay” by Simon Grayson.
