Reported today that we will recieve 500k from Athletico Madrid for Kebbie this will go to Simons pot buried in the sands at Monaco along with our share of the gate receipts from the Arsenal match sales of Gradel and Schmichel etc etc. We can,t afford to bring in replacements as the squad is too big only 2 clubs have smaller ones by the way whatever that man says . So we must be prepared to see little or no movement until AOB ,Paynter and Bruce is sold then it will be to late again to get the players we need Andrews CB and a right back makl my words
According to the Daily Mail former Leeds United trainee Elliot Kebbie, 17, has agreed a four-year deal at Atletico Madrid after a trial. Leeds are expected to receive £500,000 in compensation. More money for our transfer warchest? Or as is more likely money never to be invested on the playing side & instead disappearing into the blackhole that is the Bates hotel complex.
We'll also have made another half million-750k out of the Arsenal game. I'm sure it will be spent wisely just like the Delph money, youth player compensation, Milner and Kilgallon add-ons, scum, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool games. But thank God we're running such a tight ship, eh? And those lovely building projects are going to get us promotion straight away.
He had a trial with them I think, then ended up at Athletico. Good luck to the guy, he had to move cause his family did apparently.
I know he went to Barcelona last summer for a trial but I didn't realise he failed to secure a deal. He only signed for Atletico Madrid in the last couple of days. If it's already been mentioned on here I must have missed it.
I dont think it will go into simon's pot and i dont think bates' will even claim that it will be. By the way, we wont get that money for a long time to come anyway, its kinda irrelevant to anything but the annoying thing is that kebbie was supposed to be the next best thing from our academy so if you think about it 500k isn't much considering the likes of delph went for 6-8m. Howson is worth considerably more than that as well as Lees and White. Its just annoying that we lose academy players like this. And another thing about the squad sizes, I know only 2 teams in the champ have smaller ones but i do feel myself that it is too big. The likes of AOB, Paynter and Rachubka are players that should not be in the squad along with Connolly as well
He moved abroad and then went and asked Barcelona for a trial, they didn't poach him. He got rejected and signed for Atletico a few week ago hes only just started training with them yesterday
