    Is friends with Mika Vayrynen on Facebook and has posted a pitch level photo of the Emirates on the internet. Looks like we might have a new signing.

    We should probably wait and see, I've remembered a few of our players who were "pointless signings" and turned out to be not half bad, Snodgrass and Becchio for example.

    Maybe Larry's looking to move Snoddy into the middle?

    I Really Have Had a Belly Full of Bates.
    He is holding this great Club back & we will never get anywhere with him at the helm.
    Forget about posting about super signings, he will scupper everything.

    To put this into context, I posted recently that we were on the verge of signing Robbie Rodgers (USA international) on a free. He wanted £8k a week, Bates blocked the deal until our form went tits up. He was at the Burnley game & was due to sign his deal last Wednesday.
    He gets in the room & Bates offers him 2.5 yr deal on £4k a week & no signing on fee, take it or leave it.
    Rodgers was advised to compromise at £5.5K pw until end of season. Bates says **** off, so he did.
    The bloke advising Rodgers (not his agent) is Leeds thru & thru, but reckons Bates was piss taking.
    The lad is now in talks with Leicester!
    You know whats gonna happen lads. He'll sign for them, play a blinder on last day of season against us (prob get a hat trick to boot!!) and pip us to the play offs.

    Thanks once again Bates you piss stinking old crook.

    Mate, Andrew Haigh has just texted this: .@RobbieRogers has signed for #lufc, subject to him getting a work permit. He was at the Emirates to watch the match last night. #usmnt

    Maybe Leicester didnt go for him, that bit was more rumour than truth, the rest of my previous post was factual.
    Hopefully there has been some dialogue & a deal is still on the cards.

    It appears a deal is more than on the cards!

    He's apparently signed subject to getting his work permit

    Some Yanks on another forum were quite concerned about whether he'd even qualify for a work permit. I suppose it's a worthwhile signing, we need another winger with Snoddy out so it makes sense.

    Sounds like Gradel before we sorted him out, bags of pace and trickery but doesn't know how to use it. Hopefully he'll progress like Gradel too.

    Supposedly he's not played enough internationals for USA so they're trying to get him on 'exceptional talent' clause but from what I read online earlier Columbus fans think it will all be tied up by tomorrow

    He played middle v City when he scored that fabulous goal.

    -----------------------------McCormack--------------------------
    Danny Pugh-----------Snodgrass-----Howson----Andros Townsend-
    -------------------------------Clayton----------------------------
    Aidy White------------Tom Lees------Bruce------Thompson----
    ----------------------------Lonergan-----------------------------

    My starting 11 and formation if we had everyone fit.

    Edit: Just found out Rodgers has signed.....thanks larry, ruined a perfectly good post.

    haha,

    I'd consider playing Pugh at LB with rodgers at LW. Although im the only one that considers white not good enough as a LB

    But that team looks very good to me, although maybe a little attacking

    LOL nobody has any idea how this guy will play and you are picking him to start, I guess Bates has done one thing while at the helm of Leeds - He has made some of the fans easy to please...

    How the **** can they allow a team to play on an American Football pitch, all those lines were so confusing trying to watch that but agree some good touches. Just been reading some USA reports seems like a work permit is impossible unless Klinsmann assists in an appeal.

    I still think Aidy White is deffo gonna leave, that can be the only reason we have signed Pugh if Rogers was already lined up
