Leeds United have cancelled the contract of French midfielder Seb Carole by mutual consent.
Seb, 25, joined Leeds United from Brighton in August 2006 and scored three times in 52 appearances for Leeds.
Earlier in his career, Carole played for AS Monaco and West Ham United.
Leeds United will benefit financially from the sale of James Milner to Aston Villa by Newcastle United.
Newcastle bought Milner in 2004 when Leeds were selling everything including the goldfish. Surprisingly Leeds United remembered to insert a sell-on clause in the highly-rated youngster’s contract of sale.
Aston Villa have today paid Newcastle £10 million pounds for the Leeds United-supporting 22-year old.
Leeds United have confirmed that money will be received from the sale but have refused to say how much.
Gary McAllister has just two days before the close of the transfer window to spend the windfall on the extra player that he has been making room for in the squad with the removal of Bayly and Weston this week.
Leeds United have been charged by the Football Association for allegedly using an unlicensed agent when purchasing Anthony Elding from Stockport County in January 2008.
Leeds United have responded with a statement that no payment was made to Lorenzo Paolo, who was the agent involved in Elding’s transfer.
If the FA charge is proved then Leeds United would face a financial penalty, although Luton Town were deducted points in an extreme case recently.
Curtis Weston today terminated his contract with Leeds United.
The midfielder is part-way through a 28 day loan to Gillingham FC. However, Gary McAllister had made it clear that he was not part of this season’s plans, a fact confirmed by his squad number of 40.
Earlier this week McAllister had said that he needed to move people out of Elland Road before he can bring in another player. Yesterday Robert Bayly left and today Curtis acknowledged the the truth that his Elland Road days were over.
Weston is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Kent club this week. We wish him all the best in his future career.
