I think what happened is
Leeds offered £?k pw
Agent says no we want >£?kpw
Leeds say No
Agent says get stuffed
Agent goes away and puts a story out that Everton want the player
Nothing comes from Everton
Agent comes back saying we will accept the deal
Bates laughs his nuts off then tells them to kiss his 'arris.
I'm with Bates on this
Do agents not realise that Bates has been in the business a lot longer than them?
My take on the latest with KB

If its has you say, in total agreement.
but think of it this way, we've lost out on a player, who we obviously wanted, for the money we obviously was willing to pay.
My own view is, we couldnt really off wanted the player, but why try to sign them in the first place.
A strange one.

LIW in a way I agree with you but also don't want the club to be held to ransom either. Players have far too much power the way it stands.

Unless while the agent went away, another player came onto the radar? Who we are now trying to sign!
But who knows whats going on behind the scenes..

Totally agree, but we won the battle because they ended agreeing to our terms.

signing good players is as we know not easy.
If Bates continues with his attitude/ ego trip then it could become just about impossible.

If you asked bates what the weather was like outside and he said it was raining you would still go and have a look.
