We've signed Kennedy!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Be very surprised if it reaches DROS today, it's a lovely afternoon and they'll have their feet up in a garden somewhere. It's not like anyone sees running that site as a job. Why bother releasing news today, there's always tomorrow, infact forget that it's the weekend tomorrow. Maybe Monday, although sometimes the thought of going back into work after the weekend is tiring. Hopefully we can get some confirmation on Tuesday. Failing that the Free Press is out on Thursday.

I thinks that's a fair assessment. Could be because he hasn't had a medical yet and the doctor's waiting room was full, so he'll have to come back from Rochdale next week, so we might be lucky to see it in the Free Press next week.

Just dont believe anything Sky say at the moment, they will report on any slight scrap of info. I wont believe it until its on the O/S, there is nothing mentioned anywhere else of any substance.

By time it's up on DROS his contract will be up for Renewal if true

I hate to be a wet blanket but that article on SSN does NOT say he's signed for the Rovers. It says 'SSN understands that TK has agreed....' There's a whole huge world of difference I'm afraid..... Apart from the BBC, there is only one other news organ I'd distrust as much as that megalomaniac shower of shite.

I'm liking your vibe here mate. I have to agree with you and suggest we are too hard on the DROS gang. Their week is clearly a rigid scheduled one, and on this I feel we all expect too much:

Monday - Recovering from the weekend, plenty of latte's and a good old natter on what they've been up too.

Tuesday - Well I suppose we'd better phone round all the DRFC/Keepmoat offices and see what the chuffs been happening or going to happen. After an intensive ball breaking day of phoning and talking about the weekend again, they've finally might have an article, but it's too late to put it on DROS. f**k it, let's leave it whilst Wednesday, it's nearly 3pm

Wednesday - Let's publish all the findings from Tuesdays hectic day..... Right team, what do we have: Lottery results, Football in the Community in Fishlake Primary School and a couple of Junior Rovers pictured with Donny Dog. Let's rock this site.

Thursday - Do we need to do owt, as Free Press is out today anyway.

Friday - Are they serious, we're on wind down.

As you can see, and once again our expectation levels are set way too high. These crazy kids are busy busy busy

I'd imagine the wording is down to his contractual situation, similar to Gareth Roberts who is 'set for Derby.' Officially Roberts is still contracted to Doncaster Rovers and Kennedy is contracted to Rochdale until the end of this month, when those contracts expire and the pre-contracts they have signed with their new clubs kick in.

I may be jumping the gun, but in this case I'd trust the Sky article and read nothing into the fact that we've had no official confirmation, simply because nobody at the club is particularly interested in the official site. It was common knowledge that Wilson had signed last weekend, SO'D had given interviews to the press about it and these had been published, but it took until Wednesday this week for the media team to cobble together the energy to confirm it officially.

At the same time Sky published the Kennedy story, they also stated that Rochdale has re-signed their winger.

A few days later and it popped up on Rochdale's OS  Link.

It seems like the news has come from Rochdale and the fact that the story about the winger came good is maybe a good sign.

From what I've read about Kennedy from Rochdale boards, they seems to be in unanimous agreement that he is a cracking player.

What is encouraging is the fact that two of our rivals were chasing him. Comments like this from a L**ds board make it all the sweeter if true.

He's also being chased by Doncaster and Scunthorpe (you'd hope we should have no problems getting him then if we're actually interested).

If he has chosen Donny then, without being a big-headed Leeds fan, I can't help but feel that we weren't actually in for him.

I'm confident we'll sign him, the Manchester evening news expects him to como here too.
