Dario fumes at paper rumours

Last updated : 02 December 2003 By Site Staff
The News Of The World put a story out on Sunday that Wolves were set to bid for Dean Ashton with £1.5million the suggested fee. They wrote it in such a way that it sounded like it was a deal done. Dario today said that it's nothing short of lies to sell papers.

Dario told CreweAlex.net: "Newspapers just go out to fuel speculation regarding players and we don't take any notice. There is no bid and they just do it to sell a few newspapers.

"We only take anything seriously when a formal bid is made for one of our players and then like all ways we sit down and consider it. With Dean there has been no bid from Wolves or anyone else and there is nothing else to say. It is pure speculation and I won't make any further comment on things like that because it isn't worth it."
