Harry Kewel.....

League One Leeds United
comment on the article

....Quoted in the Mail as saying Leeds united fans Shouldn't find objection in him moving to Turkey Eight years after two LUFC fans were murdered by Turkish fans when supporting the team he was playing in. He sys they should move on; he also says he left Leeds on good terms.

The question I would ask is what planet is this guy living on. I've checked the YEP on line and seen the letters page with reams of letters expressing a hatred of Kewel who abandoned Leeds in their moment of need after the people of Leeds had taken him in as a fifteen year-old and given him the opportunity of making his fortune, finding a wife and creating a family.

He then allowed his agent to take £2m of the cut price transfer fee reduced from the £15m predicted the previous season and £2m less than the £7m Man U had offered. This had to be declined as kewel had said he wouldn't go anywhere else because he had always been a Liverpool fan, thought Man U were finished and Liverpool were a team for the future.

So his judgement is not 20-20 and about as good as his predictions and his observations.

I wonder what the Liverpool fans think of Kewel after his expensive stay which has cost the club £168,000 per match.

The man is a three times loser and I am reminded of the love and affection expressed by the people of Leeds at the funeral of the gentle giant Big John Charles who was loved by them and accepted as one of them despite leaving the club to play for Juventus when aproachinghis prime; but John had class which is something Kewel couldn't be accused of. Kewel could have had the same place of affection in the hearts of the people of \leeds but ha blown that opportunity big time and will now be hated for all time by the peopleof Leeds.

If Galatasary need punishing (for anything) then they are getting it, big-style, in the shape of Harry (couldn't give a ***k) Kewell.

Good riddance!

Kewell going to Galatshitery may well turn out to be a little like sweet revenge if his (non) performances for Liverbirds were anything to go by. I mean, we only got 5 million for him minus the agents fee but i think the scouseres are the ones who feel like they got ripped off!

So if you apply that logic, that its not the clubs fault. Why then were Leeds punished time and time again, over the years for the behavior of our supporters?

I don't think I have any more words to say about him. Just glad he's off these shores. May he never return.
