davieG Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Nolberto Solano has signed a new six month contract after impressing since signing for the club in January The former Newcastle United and Aston Villa midfielder joined the Foxes on a free transfer in the last transfer window and made thirteen appearances to help City to the Coca-Cola Championship play-offs semi-finals. Solano, 35, has starred both in defence and midfield for Nigel Pearson's side since the turn of the year and will be a part of the squad for at least the first half of the 2010-2011 campaign. http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~2054345,00.html
Guest DavidJCW Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Meh. Not overly bothered about this news. Suppose it's good as it's more stability but other than that, meh.
martyn Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 I'm surprised about some of the negativity shown towards Nobby. I think he's been a very shrewd signing, he still has plenty of class on the ball and is definitely worth at least another 6 months.
teblin Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Good news Nobby still has class. Gives cover in a couple of positions. Hopefully a young rightback will come in too and he can take him under his wing.
Finchy Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 What a penalty taker. Great news i'd say, i've never seen someone that calm and composed at the back.
Cobbo Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Definitely worth at least 6 months, can see it becoming a year. Like Powell (while he was still playing) he will add lots to training too.
lcfc"weasel" Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Would love to see Nobby staying on in a Powellesque role at the end of this season. Think he is the type of person we need to have in and around the club.
Corky Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Another good move, another sensible contract. Big fan of Nobby, has quality on the ball that can only help the younger players.
maddog Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 He is so cool and classy, he knows what he's doing and is the best passer of the ball we've got. See his pass for Fryatt in Cardiff home leg as an example.
flanimal Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 He is so cool and classy, he knows what he's doing and is the best passer of the ball we've got. See his pass for Fryatt in Cardiff home leg as an example. That's one pass. He smacked long balls all game long, probably about 20, and one came off. Not that impressive. If you gave me 20 attempts to hit a good pass, I could hit one of them.
AndyBrew Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 nobby has looked a class act to me and his fitness levels are exceptional to, great news
lildave3 Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Quite happy for him to stay, but I certainly prefer Morrison at right back.
RowlattsFox Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Happy enough for him to stay but I wouldn't have been too disappointed to see him leave. I just hope it doesn't mean that we won't be looking for a right back during the summer.
sw_fox Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Happy enough for him to stay but I wouldn't have been too disappointed to see him leave. I just hope it doesn't mean that we won't be looking for a right back during the summer. I'm sure it wont if he is on a 6 month contract. Probably just insurance for if we don't find anyone decent during the summer window and have to look again in january.
ScouseFox Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Decent news. I like him. Just hope he would stop the occassional flicks into an under pressure Hobbs/Brown on the edge of our own area. Shit myself every time.
lavrentis Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Nobby is class. Looks like oen of the Jackson brothers.
Webbo Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Does the 6 months start now or at the start of the season?
dandannieldanok Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Quite happy for him to stay, but I certainly prefer Morrison at right back. Yea same here, Morrison is more defensively reliable (although Nobby has done ok). 6 months is decent business.
Legend_in_blue Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Model professional. Steady player and is pretty clever with it. Shrewd business at 6 months but expect this to turn into a full season deal.
Joe. Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Happy with this, a reliable player on our hands who we know can still do a good job at this level. I've been impressed with him since he came to us actually, assured and composed with that bit of quality in times of need.
Guest Posted 17 May 2010 Posted 17 May 2010 Pleased with this. Been steady at RB for us. Think that's Morro's place longer term but he's been quality when asked to play there
