Kewell on the Move.

I just picked up this snip from our SBS TV Football Channel, Kewell will be leaving leeds at the end of this season, he won't accept Leed's new offer of $200,000 Aussie per week, he was staying on as loyalty to Risedale, but now that Risedale is going down the road, it now looks like Kewell will be heading either to Spain or Italy. --

Anybody here want to try out for Leeds next season.!!

i sure hope he stays in the PremierLeague cos he's a fine fine player.
He said that Venables was the best manager he'd worked for ...
btw, did he play for el Tel when he was Aussie manager?
so this news isn't really surprising. He's been linked with Liverpool for many years now .. well we'll se what happens this summer

I hope Liverpool can grab Kewell, but knowing Houllier, he will frustrate his fans by rejecting him and bringing in another 4million unknown signing.

Kewell was a Liverpool fan as a boy, if the price is right we should not pass him up. :D

But then again Kewell might want to go to Spain or Italy.

If Kewell leaves there goes about 50% of the bandwagon Australian Leeds fans (H)

Yes, kewell played for El Tel when we played Iran in the WC qualifiers a few years ago, he had two cracking games too, and if i remember correctly he scored in one of the games.
........................................................................................................
Just found this bit on one of the El Tel Sites.

The first leg was on the 22nd November 1997 in Tehran in front of a crowd of 120,000 men. The match ended 1-1, with goals from Harry Kewell and Khodadad Azizi, and the British press thought that Australia had done the hard part.

Throughout the week preceding the second leg, Terry Venables appeared on the news cheerful and optimistic of getting a positive result. The following Saturday, in Melbourne, 85,000 Australians gathered to watch their beloved Socceroos try and defeat Iran. Iran started badly and Australia could have been three up in the first ten minutes.

Finally in the 32nd minute, Harry Kewell scored as he did in the first leg and then just three minutes into the second half, Australia scored again with Vidmar and they seemed to be coasting.

"At this stage of the game many of us here in Australia reckoned that Venables made a vital mistake by not using fresh subs to strengthen the defence and then just play the match out untill full time." -- D.D

Then, in the 77th minute, Karim Bagheri, who was suspended for the first leg, scored after a mix-up in the penalty area. This set up a frantic finish to the match since one goal would take Iran through on away goals.

Suddenly Khodadad Azizi, Asia’s player of the year, broke the offside trap after a lovely pass from Ali Daei to score a memorable second It was enough to send Iran to the World Cup finals for only the second time in their history after a brief visit in 1978.

"I don’t think I have ever been involved in such a cruel result. But that is football," were the words spoken by Terry Venables after the match, "My players did everything I asked of them and they did not deserve this outcome." Even the Iranian manager, Brazilian Valdir Vierra, admitted that if there was to be a winner in the match, it should have been Australia.

After the match, people flocked the streets in Tehran, cheering for Iran. Celebrations were estimated to be as big as the day Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi left the country. An estimated 70,000 Iranian football fans including about 3,000 women who ignored an official order banning their presence, packed Tehran’s Azizi stadium to welcome home the national squad.

Observers said the women rushed through the gates despite police attempts to enforce a ban on female fans attending the event. Once inside, however, they were seated in separate stands from the male fans. Confectioners and florists handed out goods to passers-by in the streets as flag-waving youths stood on top of cars shouting "Iran! Iran!"

Yeh i watched it as well. I dont think he'll stay in England unless Man U get him which would be crap. Because I dont think any of the english clubs apart from them have the money to compete with the spainish and Italian Club.


If Kewell Plays for United Ill hate him even if he single handedly Wins the World Cup for Australia

I doubt Kewell would go to a premiership team, despite any concerns over money.

If you say he was a liverpool fan as a child it is a bit of an irrelevant note when he has been at leeds for about 10 years now, he left the NSW Australian Academy at the age of 15.

My bet would be spain, perhaps because I like it more, but besides the style of play, Spain has a larger amount of clubs that could actually place honest bids for his services, whereas Italy would be limited to a few.

Kewell had been saying the only reason he would re-sign for Leeds is through respect and loyalty to Ridsdale, with him gone, and Venables too, there is nothing tying him to the club besides his past there(Which in todays world is about a worthless as anything can get) and the 'Aussie-Factor' which is about as worthless again.

are we talking about Keweel of Leeds?
Lol!

What huge Spanish and Italian clubs want Harry Kewell?
Kewell is not wanted anywhere else by any glamour club besides England.
And the only other English Club he will sign with is Arsenal, because, there, he can play his favourite position behind the main striker.
His wife told me.

I can't see Kewell going to Spain or Italy. I could see Bayern Munich or Ajax trying to sign him.

He does need to leave Leeds though.

Imagine what the celebrations where like when they beat us in the World Cup.
