The Sun is claiming that 19 year-old, Liverpool FC reserve striker Krisztian Nemeth has rejected the chance to join Leeds on loan.

The Sun claims that Nemeth’s agent Tibor Pataky said, “The Leeds link is not the next step for sure.”

Prompted by the former association between McAllister and Liverpool, the article gives no evidence an actual Leeds United approach to Liverpool that prompted the question; so presumably the agent quote is a direct response to a Sun journo’s planted question – see “How to make news from nothing – part 1″.

A move for an Anfield bit-part player makes no sense whatsoever with the strikers already lined up by McAllister for next season. The imminent signing of Luciano Becchio is the current news on the Leeds United striker front, not this made-up nonsense.

Former Leeds keeper Scott Carson

West Bromwich Albion have signed former Leeds United goalkeeper Scott Carson, from Liverpool for £3.25 million.

The fee rises to £3.75 million depending on appearances.

Scott had been widely expected to sign for Aston Villa, where he had spent last season on loan. However, the £10 million fee, agreed at the time of the loan with Liverpool, proved too costly.

Stoke City were reported to have bid £4m for Scott earlier this week.

Another twist in the Kewell tale – Bernie Mandic, Kewell’s personal manager has told Australian FourFourTwo,

“We have not finalised a deal for Harry and it’s down to two possibilities.” (What? He’s going or he’s not going?)

“People will be notified if and when Harry decides on one of the options which may be around noon on Saturday European time.

“We will not make any other comments until then.”

Well the official then – Kewell’s agent, sorry, personal manager/bag-carrier/assistant/masseur/chief snorkeller doesn’t know what Harry is doing, nor does Harry! Confused? You soon will be…
