Daniel Gebreezgiher
 
According to Wikipedia, he signed 2 year contract with Wellington Phoenix in 2009, and that he scored 18 goals in 24 A League Reserve games. Then,  handed a transfer request and on July 11, 2011 and signed  a 3-year contract with Melbourne Victory.
Though the Melbourne Victory may be true (doubtful) I dont believe this story for a second, given that there were lots of rumours before about him not being at Leeds. Also, his stats on wikipedia seem a bit fanciful.
2008-2009- NZ U-20 -  15 appearances  and 11 goals.

2007-2010 � Wellington Phoenix-  34 Appearances and 28 Goals.

 
If any reporters out there were keen on a good story/scandal, I would chase this up lol.

Maybe he changed his mind because he is in India right now
Coach Sen stated that he is short of options upfront at the moment as Yusif Yakubu has still not arrived in Kolkata because of visa issues while the club�s fourth foreigner Kayne Vincent joined training only three days ago.
