‘Bizarre’, ‘Weirder and weirder’ – Many Leeds fans baffled by ‘Confusing’ new transfer twist
Leeds United fans have been left confused after midfielder Michael Cuisance spoke out to say that he did not fail a medical with the Whites.
Cuisance, 20, was on the verge of joining Leeds last week in a £20million switch from Bayern Munich but the deal collapsed at the last minute.
It was widely reported that Cuisance failed to pass a medical at Elland Road [Sky Sports] but since joining Marseille, the Frenchman has rubbished that notion.
LeedsLive journalist Beren Cross quoted the midfielder as saying: “There was no problem with the medical examination [at Leeds]. I spent one in Marseille and it went very well. There was no problem on my side. Afterwards, I don’t know more. Here I spent it and I’m in good shape.”
Everyone is going to have their own version of events here but why would Leeds fly a player over to England, spend so much time negotiating a deal and agreeing terms just to pull the plug on the deal as an ‘excuse’? That’s one of the things that have been suggested but that just doesn’t seem to make sense.
At the end of the day, Cuisance is now a Marseille player and why would he worry their fans by saying to the media that he has an underlying issue? He wouldn’t.
Leeds fans are a bit baffled by the player’s quotes, with one saying that the situation is getting “weirder and weirder”.
