Defender Transfer Request Turned Down

Last updated : 06 June 2005 By Sam
The Tunisian international defender still has 12 months to run on his contract at The Reebok and the club are upset that the players representatives have been touting him to other clubs.

"We have received a transfer request from Radhi Jaidi's representative, which has been firmly rejected," Wanderers chairman Phil Gartside told the clubs official website..

"The player is not for sale and is currently 12 months into a two-year contract with an option for a further year. It is an absolute nonsense that you sign something for three years and then do not honour it.

"Additionally, I am very annoyed and disappointed that the player's representative is allegedly touting him to other clubs. This is a serious breach of league rules and I'll be taking it up with the Premier League.

"In light of the recent issues in the game, we have to stamp down on this type of activity and eradicate it from our game."
