re: "Leading the chase"...
'Leading the chase' is an often used phrase issued by the media (usually the tabloids) that means that a player's agent has 'leaked' news to them that he may be available if the agent's fee is right.
A mid-table club, often with no interest whatsoever in said player is selected as being in pole-position thereby hiking up the price before the player inevitably goes elsewhere.
