I agree, but will the right wing racist bastards policy of workers being able to speak English to an acceptable level scupper the plans?

Leeds Rumoured Interest In Swans Midfielder
May 17 2008 07:08 by Mark Rowlands
Swansea City's Andy Robinson is being constantly rumoured to be thinking over a move to Leeds United.
And whilst these reports are just rumours and "heard from a friends friend" then it does add weight to the reasoning behind why Roberto gave a deadline that expires two days before the play off final.
Newspapers in South Wales have reported 'substantial' and 'double your money' offers made my the Swans to Robinson who is still stalling over his new deal but other rumours flying around on the web sites and in discussions elsewhere suggest that Leeds have offered a far greater sum for Robinson which could prove to be the delay in getting the deal signed.
Both Swansea City and the player have expressed their desire to get the deal completed and it is almost mirroring the activities of two years ago when Robinson signed his last deal with the Swans.
There has been nothing substantiated at either end regards the Leeds rumour but there have been posts on the Planet Swans forum to suggest that it has come from the player himself or others have claimed to have it from "upon high in the club" The stories have escalated to Robbo being offered anywhere between £8k and £12k per week to make the move to the League One play off finalists.
As with any move like this it has to be an agonising one for the player himself. On one hand he has a side that gave him his big break and where he has played - and succeeded - for five years with the guarantee of Championship football next season. But you also have a side that appear to be playing hardball and have made their maximum offer. In the yellow corner you have one of the country's best supported sides who have reached the play off final despite a 15 point deduction at the start of the season. You also have the added carrott of more money which - as many would testify - is not always easy to turn down.
It is clear that if there is anything in the Leeds rumours then that could well be why the deadline has been set for before the play off final purely to make the player decide on where he wants to play rather than letting the result of where Leeds will play next season dictate that.
It's going to be an interesting week again in South Wales as the latest contract chat plays out it's course and fans of potentially both Swansea and Leeds sit back and wait to see what develops.
AFTER prolonged wrangling over a new contract, Swansea City midfielder Andy Robinson has finally decided to leave the club to join League One side Leeds United.
Rumours about a possible switch to Leeds were realised today with an official announcement from the club that Robbo has made the bold decision ahead of Leeds' play-off final on the weekend.
Robbo had hoped to give a decision on Monday after the play-off final, but Martinez & Co insisted that the player made a decision within the original ten day deadline which ended yesterday.
Had Robinson accepted Swansea's new contract he would have been the highest paid player in the club's history.
Robbo's stalling has quite rightly seen the club force his hand and with the decision he has effectively gambled his future on 90 minutes of football.
A win will see Leeds with Robinson in the Championship next season squaring up against Swansea City at the Liberty.
A loss will see the him languish for yet another season in League One.
