This tweet from Yorkshire Evening Posts Phil Hay saw twitter melt down last night with people agreeing that this would be an awesome signing and that GFH finally showed some ambition.
Problems already occured in Hay's next tweet where he stated that:
"Deal for Gradel is unlikely to be straightforward or cheap. Sounds like St Etienne are very reluctant to lose him"
I can't see this deal happening at all to be honest, why would Maxi leave France, a place he badly wanted to go due to homesickness, and why would he leave a French top 10 team to join a team that probably wont be playing in the Premier League in the next few years, it makes no sense.
So what's the deal with this story, after talking on twitter with some people I've made the following, ungrounded, conclusion. GFH are sick of Leeds fans saying they show no ambition, so how do you prove that you have ambition, you publish a story about wanting to re-sign a fan favorite, this is really clever especially considering that its a deal that looks this unlikely, but at least they'll have "tried" right?
Being on twitter every now and then gives me a clear image of Leeds fans being people that sometimes only remember the good things about former players and staff, for instance the Poyet story (that he'd like to return), people seem to have forgotten that he fucked off when a chance to join Spurs (as a translator????) came up. The Gradel story seems to be the same, everyone forgot that he wanted to leave us and did, and even more everyone seem to have forgotten that he almost cost us our promotion in May 2010.
Having said that I'd still welcome him back though, Gradel that is, Poyet can f*** off, chelsea bastard.
