Riise update. Aalesund do not want fee.

The Norweigian club appear to have conceded that they will receive no money for the young midfielder, and now say they are thinking about the player ratyer than their nbank balance, Aalesund chairman Arne Aambakk is quoted as saying

"This is first of all out of consideration for Bjorn Helge and his career. Aalesund have therefore decided not to put forward a demand for education compensation."

We'll have to wait and see if thats good enough for Lennie to proceed. The City boss said yesterday

"To be honest, I'm getting board with it, and so is Sam. As each day goes by more people get disillusioned by it all. We've done million pound deals with less problems than this."
