Leeds, QPR and Liverpool in tussle to sign free agent Hubris


The January window may have slammed shut for contracted players, but Leeds, QPR and Liverpool are in a titanic struggle to lay claim to free agent Hubris. All three clubs are jockeying to be in the box seat for the highly gifted Greek, whose striking abilities are said to be awesome.

In ordinary circumstances, Liverpool would be considered clear favourites to lay claim to Hubris. They are, after all, a free spending club with a massive history and  a sense of their own importance and grievances beyond compare. With Benitez in charge, Hubris would surely be Anfield bound in a trice, but with the more modest Brendan Rodgers at the controls and Liverpool recently humbled at Oldham and struggling in the wake of hard up neighbours Everton, QPR and Leeds might just be in with a shout.

QPR are, of course, chucking money around in transfer fees and wages like there is no tomorrow. And after the capture of Remy and Samba, for a combined fee of over £20m, Hubris may well fancy joining 'Arry's bunch of mercenaries. If you listen to the QPR fans, Mittal will keep fuelling Tony's plaything until the Premiership title has been secured; and Hubris would almost certainly like a bite of that. Six points adrift of safety with just 13 games to be played after God knows how many millions have been spent? It's actually the sort of position Hubris might fancy; but then old QPR boss and reigning Big Gob Neil Warnock may have something to say about that.

Combine Warnock with the stature of Leeds and their unrivalled fans, and you surely have a tempting package for the Greek. True Leeds are in the Championship, adrift of the promotion chasing pack, don't own their own ground or training field and are owned by an Arab bank that appears to be built on sand, but the fans would welcome Hubris with open arms and make him feel like a king. Word on the ground suggests that GFH Capital kept their powder dry in January with a view to landing Hubris so don't be surprised if the Greek finally settles on Elland Road on a package that not even Liverpool and QPR were prepared to match.

One thing's for sure, Hubris would be a fitting addition to all three clubs and it will be fascinating to see who he eventually settles upon. To be honest, I have no preference, may the most deserving club win!

    Hubris (pron.: /ˈhjuːbrɪs/), also hybris, from ancient Greek ὕβρις, means extreme pride or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.
    The adjectival form of hubris is "hubristic".

    People this is clearly a joke article, Hubris is a Greek word that means you think you're better than everyone else and can do better than everyone else. He's saying that Liverpool, QPR and Leeds fans all think we're better than everyone else and we compete to be the most Hubristic. That's why you cant find a top striker called Hubris. Well done HF very clever, unfortunately too clever for most people on here it seems.

    When you look at the definition of the word you will come to the conclusion that the author of this article is taking the piss out of Liverpool, QPR and Leeds as being full of themselves. Here's the definition:

    Hubris (pron.: /ˈhjuːbrɪs/), also hybris, from ancient Greek ὕβρις, means extreme pride or arrogance. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.

    Are you thick? Hubris doesn't exist. He's taking the p!ss! It more or less means pride or arrogance, like in a Greek tragedy. "Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance"
    This guy is obsessed. Why he is interested in my club, a middle of the table Championship club at that, is beyond me. Seriously the majority of Leeds fans know we are rubbish with no ambition, hence the dwindling crowds at home. How he can call that arrogant? It's despair.
    Most realistic fans are aware that we are no longer a big club. How can we be, when we have been out of the Prem now for 8 years and clubs such as Naarrwich take your best players with barely a murmur from us and we replace them (excluding Morison) with nothing?
    However, we have a massive fan base still, and have the potential to be big again. If we played players in their correct positions that is, get rid of Warnock, and the clowns running the club. Or if they are to stay on, then invest in some decent players - it's not rocket science. If we ever do get back to the Prem though, one thing is clear -we will be bigger than West Ham. Oh go on then....we still are....

    Their fans also call him "knob, twat, wanker etc.", so we're not very creative.

I mean what a monumental schoolboy error, reacting the way you did. Anyone with half a brain would've kept quiet and refused point blank to respond to Warnocks rejection of west ham,then came the petty responses yesterday after Diego Noble,Lionel jarvis and co manage a 1-0 v Mighty Swansea. You were wound up before we finished you off and the hubris thing,that's just whoopee cushion level. It smacks of someone desperately trying to catch up. The Warnock post was put up on both your sites in the hope you got some back up and i have to say that whoever did back you up shouldn't have bothered as they just dug you in deeper.
