@FootyAgentKing has just tweeted "Swindons Matt Richie is to sign for Leeds United by the end of the week after Swindon finally agreed to sell the player #LUFC #STFC"

Anyone know if this guy's actually in the know? He seems to have a lot of people believing him. A leeds fan has responded with "on a free? Warnock says we have no money and aren't signing anybody" and his response was "is this the same Warnock who described diouf as "a sewer rat" but has now offered him a contract at #LUFC"

I can't see thats true as Lids are in the middle of a (currently failing) takeover bid and have little funds for new players.

Still can't ever rule anything out I guess.

mmmmm top topic on that football rumours site....probably can write that one off then.

If aint playing tonite he's off somewhere.

With de Vita blooming into an unexpectedly good player and Roberts and Rooney to come, maybe selling Ritchie is a bit more appealing to the club. Depends on the money, of course and what we intend to do with it

He could be rested but he will play.

I'm am not convinced that Wray would even entertain offers for Ritchie for anyone but a top championship team or a premiership team Ritchie is key to our promotion aspirations, he is one of the if not the best winger in L1 I'd suggest

Cuddly Ken is not going to splash the sort of money we would require for Ritchie

Leeds only ever seem to get players on a free as Master Bates is too tight to spend money on the team, he'd much rather spend it on a new hotel

Don't you mean Motel  ;)

well he is a Psycho... (although hes quite litigious so best clarify this is a joke)

The agent is at it again - this time stating that the deal is 'in place' and that it is for a nominal fee with lucrative add ons. Smells like BS to me. There is no incentive for us to sell unless the price is right.

Ritchie is playing tonight so if there are negotiations then they are a long way off a deal because I think we all know that Di Canio wouldn't play him otherwise.

Why would we sell for a nominal fee. Makes no sense whatsoever

Hope you're telling the 'agent' what a cunt he is.

unless there is some shit release clause. Have my doubts on that

You're answering your own questions Batch, a new low?

:)

Now that is the biggest load monkey custard I have heard all day, Why would we turn down £800K from Boremuff less than 7 months ago and then accept a nominal fee?

I wouldn't waste my time.

I also think that a lot of people have "issues" with Paolo Di Canio and will do their best to stir the shit as much as possible.

is said agent on twitter?

These people just conjure up stories about the same players every transfer window until KAPOW! they've got it kinda, sorta correct.

@FootyAgentKing

Doesnt seem to do much but tweet.  Surely a footy agent would be a bit busier at this time of year.

either he's Jorge Mendes or some kid trying to give his bullshit rumours some credibility by claiming to be an agent

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Mendes

Any agent with an ounce of sense would keep their gob shut until the contract is signed and the deal is done.  Sounds like BS from a Walter Mitty type to me!

Leeds fan laughed at me when I mentioned it, Ken spending any money...

Anyone on Twitter with the word 'agent' or 'itk' in their name I treat with as much credence as that rumours site.

Has signed a one year extension to his contract, takes him up to 2014 according to an "exclusive" on RS this morning.

Confirmed by my missus wallowing in the pit.

2014 would surely make it either 18 months or two years depending on what date within 2014? Anyway he's fit for today so that's also good news.

Good protection for the club come January. Not say he's off, but if a big offer came in for someone with 6 months left on their contract then it would be harder to turn down.

It also shows that he's happy here, great news.

or he'll be at Birmingham when the loan window opens :-D

I thought they said summer 2014, so I guess end of June, which is when most contracts run out.

what happened with that quote?

God knowa
