It took you all that time just to come up with your usual bunch of contradiction and misquotes?
At least you came to the right conclusion, in mid tirade and you could have saved us all time by ending at that point, in explanation of your opinion... I refer you to line eight, below and herby accept your one piece of reasoned logic as to why I and others seem not to know or relate to your opinions. As for the rest, we'll see just what price we get, in comparison to other market activity on international strikers... - ----Original Message----- From: Mark Humphries [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 4:04 AM To: 'Nigel Holcroft'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [LU] Wage deferrals - Healy + who? Jesus man, are you saying some people list items on ebay not really wanting to sell them? Let me reiterate, if you have two bidders for an item they will bid against each other up to their limit, regardless of the whys and wherefores of the seller's position. The 'intrinsic value' of Healy as a footballer is his goalscoring ability, the reason(s) Leeds want/have to sell him are irrelevant to that 'value'. As every idiot knows, Healy was going to be sold anyway, so the 'we might not sell him' argument was never there. So, basically, your argument that Bates saying he refused to defer his wages has ANY impact on his eventual sale price, as there are at least 2 interested parties, is totally irrelevant. It is also total nonsense in terms of pure economics, you know, supply and demand and all that jazz. The actual price we sell him for involves many factors, Bates stating he isn't going to play for Leeds again aint one of them. Oh and the thing about 'backdoor' offers, what on earth makes you think that if that was going to happen it wouldn't happen anyway? See the Kewell transfer for more info. And as a footnote to this Bates has also since been on record stating his sympathy for Healy and that he could never have been expected to play international football then league 1 football. Maybe he said that in the same interview as he mentioned the deferral issue and maybe the original article I referred to chose to 'cleverly' edit his comments to make it look like an attack on Healy? I don't really know and don't really care, but I do know that it will have zero impact on Healy's price. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nigel Holcroft Sent: 05 June 2007 18:01 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] Wage deferrals - Healy + who? Where your opinions are concerned, I've come to expect very little in the way of reason.. And as for your, "ebay" analogy...I suggest you follow your own advice. You'll find that there are many items of a similar nature being bid on at any given time. Many fetch widely varying prices while engaging the same group of bidders and why? because their intrinsic value is based on many factors not the least of which is there ease of availability and whether the owner wants rid (as you put it) versus someone who does not need to sell but is open to offers at the right price of above.. Bates' actions also opens the backdoor to player/agent negotiations to only agree to a certain club's offer regardless of who offers the highest bid.. Whatever loyalty, or sympathy Healey may have had toward our plight (not common, in today's football I'll grant you) is now out of the window and he has been given every reason to actively help screw us over if the opportunity arises. By the way, are you Bates in disguise?

How much more reasoning do you need than if there are 2 competing buyers then it doesn't matter a toss if the current owner wants rid. If that doesn't make sense to you can I suggest you check out this marvellous website www.ebay.co.uk _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
