Reid defiant as Dacourt departs

Leeds boss Peter Reid insists he is only interested in keeping players who will “wear the shirt with pride” after Olivier Dacourt last night joined the Elland Road exodus.

Dacourt finally completed a permanent move to Serie A side Roma for £3.5m (€5.05m) – a considerable reduction on the £15.5m (€22.6m) fee which was touted 18 months ago when Lazio expressed an interest in the France midfielder.
