Last Updated: 20:00 Friday 9 October 2009
Bates gives an extra £3m
Sources are saying after a request from Leeds boss Simon Casey for more money, chairman Ken Bates immediately added £3m to the transfer budget. The club is in a healthy state financially and Casey was reported to be frustrated when a lot of the money he made from sales was not added to bring in replacements. The Leeds manager raked in £4.5m while only spending £5.75m.
Casey is reported to be after a few player. Shakhtar's Brazilian striker Luiz Adriano has been thought to be on that list, the 22 year old would cost around £2m. Another Brazilian Doka Madureira of Litex has also been linked with a move to Elland road, a fee of £1.4m would be required. Two Championship players in the form of Owen Garvan and Marvin Elliot have been under watch from Leeds, Bristol would want over £2m while Garven would be under £1.5m. Lastly Casey declared interest in Adam Lallana, the attacking midfielder would cost under £1m and has been in good form.
