Adam Le Fondre set to join Sheffield United, as the striker keen to stay in the South Yorkshire area where he lives. The Blades are the only club who have come close to matching Rotherham's valuation, Sheffield Wednesday have only submitted 'derisory' bids which has, apparently, offended both Rotherham FC & the player (possibly shooting themselves in the foot?). Coventry have also bid, but again a nominal offer just to appease their fans that something is happening in the transfer market, so no-go there. Other clubs (London area) too far from striker's home where he is settled.

Le Fondre will go to Reading, surely GM and MM will have a plan B, but I'm not holding my breath.

With some one on last year of contact it is a game of bluff between buyer and seller. I suspect Rotherham want to sell as they can afford to lose a player who is worth £250,000 at least for nothing. They will hold out to last possible moment in the meantime they will try and raise the price buy appearing confident and indicating interest in the player from several sources. There is not a lot of money floating around outside of premiership and many sellers are chasing the small pot of money which is available. i suspect we will sign a player or two but no idea which one presumably it will be the seller whose nerve cracks first.

i think wednesday have shoot themselves in the foot by offering low bids to try to get ALF on the cheap, we all know that the transfer window is coming to an end, so other clubs will now show an interest, burnley and reading for 2. we should have tied up this deal at the begining of the week and signed him, we as fans are wanting to see a striker,lets face it that would have put at least a thousend through the turnstyle for the Scunthorpe game

Nothing on sky sports about reading yet it's simple situation now if megson wants him they either stump up near what Rotherham are asking or forget it I can understand why we have not signed any strikers up to now if this is the way we are doing our deals with these cat and mouse games it's time for mm to show the Wednesday fans he means buisness and wants to get this club out of this league it's clear to see we are not going to compete with what we have got now plus gm is putting extra pressure on others areas on the pitch to score goals because it's not happening up front

Scott did not say Wednesday were wasting their time any more than anyone else was. He just wants £500k down - not in instalments. If he can't get it then LeFondre stays to spearhead a push for promotion. It is very straightforward. If we want him , it is full price now or not at all.

After three mediocre bids were all rejected by the club from rivals Sheffield Wednesday, Chief Operating officer Paul Douglas told tonights Star that there was no truth that Alf wants out.

“He has never given us a written transfer request or asked for a move,” said Douglas.

Everyone saying Le Fondre to Coventry??


I heard on this site he didn't want to move out of Yorkshire

Also I would much prefer McDonald compare his and ALF's goals scoring record last season in the sane league correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure Cody scored more?

Waghorn and Baldock are out of the question and Ryan Lowe has a chance to come to wednesday.
Reading are out of the Le Fondre chase and today the rotherham gaffer said the owls are wasting their time. And the transfer request Le Fondre wrote was probably for Coventry as he wants to play as high as possible.
