Outgoing...

Kenneth William Bates (DoucheCanoe) to Timbuktu FC on a free. Timbuktu City Council needs a shopping mall and apparently think he's their man for the job.

:mrgreen:

[LUFCRACE]

we've tried this before, I give it an hour before it goes O/T

[Crude]

I don't mean to derail the thread with my wishful thinking nonsense.

The only rumors I've heard are the usual Alan Smith ones, which are complete rubbish. Pretty quiet from Beeston lately.

[Twiggster]

Hearing that Simon has spent so much time on the phone this week trying to buy players, that we may have to sell most of those we have to pay the phone bill!!!

[HarryofOz]

Didn't he follow Bates' instructions to call reverse charge?

It's all right Twiggs we have only spent the Wembley money on the phone bill so far. We still have the Delph money so SG can keep making those calls.

[scuudz]

Just saw a story on skysports.com that Marcus Olsson is being linked to us. He currently plays for Halmstad. Dont know anything about him.

Phew!!! There might have been ELEVEN questions for Ken, otherwise!

[Dr.Leeds]

As a shrewd businessman one of the first things Ken did was get Skype for the office and free minutes for the manager's mobile. Don't worry about the phone bills guys!

Who are the people behind Skype because I read a post on another site that offered no proof but suggested that several mobile phone companies were prepared to come in with very good offers but Leeds - or should I say Bates - would only deal with Skype. Bates is probably lining up a deal to sell the club and turn it into a huge internet cafe with free skype?

[USA LEE]

I heard Joe Hart might be on his way ER on loan.

[jim052]

I heard loads of rumours of us being linked with Billy Paynter the swindon striker if they dont go up saturday?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this and not sure how he will do in the championship if it is true but allot of the swindon folk and Leeds fans around this area have sparked a rumour?

[PaulUSA]

For whatever it's worth, I've been updating the list at the top of this thread as new rumours are reported on. If there's anything you pick up in the rags and post below, I'll continue to update the list.

[LUFCRACE]

twitter rumour just hit the internet that kasper schmeical has signed a 2 year deal...

[8ballali]

[revieboy]

Not a rumour,

See that Kris Boyd is at the end of his contract, obviously there are Premiership and other clubs interested in him

Wonder if Larry has considered a cheeky offer..

[Jason123]

Becks gone to no club as of yet nothing confirmed anywhere just he has left club,

Kris Boyd wont come to ER could not afford him think wants 30k a week

[PaulUSA]

Just saw this:

Thanks, Scuudz. I just saw this one, too. Will add it to the list.

Probably best to wait on Boyd and Paynter until the rumours are documented.
