United owner Massimo Cellino has defended the sale of the player, insisting he was “disrespected” by the Scotland man.

The sale of the 27-year-old went through just weeks after the club’s Italian owner had pledged that McCormack was not for sale. But Leeds’ 29-goal top scorer was allowed to move after requesting a transfer.

Cellino said: “I like to be in control of situations but it felt like he wasn’t my player. I was disrespected, he was aggressive with me.

“He’s a bloody good player and I’m not going to pretend that he isn’t but he didn’t respect me and it wasn’t possible to keep him.”

No need for a long answer, a simple "11 million pounds" would have done.

People comparing this with other transfers mentioned are missing the point, players like Hernandez and Michu were unproven and were being bought by PL clubs from teams abroad. Try looking at transfers of top goalscorers between clubs in the same division and see what there is to compare it to.

I'm not saying he's worth it, but you have to take into account the context, Fulham want to buy the top goalscorer from last season from a team in the same division and have money to spend, it's a risk but it's one they can afford.

Think how much a PL team would have to pay for last season's top scorer.

I love the quote from cellino "he's a bloody good player". It just doesn't seem to ring true. Maybe he went to berlitz school and learnt 'Leeds for beginners'

Why do you need to defend selling Ross McCormack for £11m? They should be patting him on the back.
