Current Bun: Fergie bids £10m for Delph http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article2087140.ece ALEX FERGUSON has offered Leeds a package worth up to £10million for teenage midfield star Fabian Delph. Manchester United boss Fergie made his move after Fulham steamed in with a £6m bid for the 19-year-old sensation, who is being tipped as the new Paul Scholes. Delph is a combative midfielder with an eye for goal like Scholes. He has been a regular in the Leeds side this term after captaining the reserves. United were alerted after Fulham scouts again checked on Delph as the England Under-19 international scored for Leeds in Sunday’s 3-1 victory over Stockport at Edgeley Park. Fergie has matched the Fulham offer of £6m up front — but has added extra incentives related to appearances and trophies that would push the deal close to £10m. And the Old Trafford boss has also told Leeds they can take two of his own promising youngsters on loan as they bid to get their League One promotion train rolling again. He is prepared to let midfielders Darron Gibson and Rodrigo Possebon switch temporarily to Elland Road. Gibson, 21, has already gained three caps for the Republic of Ireland and made seven senior appearances in the Carling Cup. Possebon, 19, figures in United’s long-term plans but Fergie wants to give him more experience now he has regained full fitness. He escaped serious injury in his first senior start for United in September last year when Middlesbrough defender Emanuel Pogatetz was sent off for a horror tackle that left the Brazilian needing oxygen on the pitch. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
