RowlattsFox Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 It happens at a lot of clubs these days, doesn't Rodgers have to have his signings done by a committee. Not always successful but could be ok with Walsh record.
EverybodyDannsNow Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 This has cheered me up from the gloom of the last few days. To know that the plans for the new season which were ongoing under Pearson haven't been completely thrown away is comforting
psychonaut Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Interesting, shows how much faith the club have in our scouting system, perhaps that's why we're going for Hiddink, literally just give him the players and let him get on with it. Would probably feel a bit more at ease knowing they are still following their same format for signings. My thoughts exactly. Would restore a little confidence - also would point towards retaining a philosophy that we started to see the beginnings of under NP.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Throw everything at Steve Walsh to get him to stay.
Dan Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Interesting, shows how much faith the club have in our scouting system, perhaps that's why we're going for Hiddink, literally just give him the players and let him get on with it. Would probably feel a bit more at ease knowing they are still following their same format for signings. Thought the same. Their loyalties to Pearson will be tested when he eventually walks into a job. Slowly regaining a little faith if we're pulling this off.
lgfualol Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 If anything can help me get passed them sacking Nigel is them bringing in some players that give me confidence. Unless Hiddink comes in and thinks he's crap, then we'll have him in the reserves until January.
Wilson_6 Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 I do really hope we still sign him. I think he could be massive for us. Exactly what we need in the middle of the park. Doesn't leave players alone for a second (vardy esque),Good Tackler, vast pace seems to be very down to earth. Typical Pearson type player
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Marseille mercato goes from bad to worse! Target N'golo Kante may instead go to Leicester. Caen branded #OM's offer disrespectful #SMC #LCFC Lord know what we're paying for him.
Tielemans63 Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Europe's top tackler. 5th top tackler Look who's in at number 5.
Wilson_6 Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Europe's top tackler. 5th top tackler I always quite liked Fernandes to be honest. I'd have him back now.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 This around £10m isn't it? So that's £22m outlay in a matter of minutes/hours. The fvck is going on?!
psychonaut Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 I always quite liked Fernandes to be honest. I'd have him back now. A casualty of the sven era. I'm sure I heard he still wanted to play for us but was frozen out when when NP arrived. Who knows.
johnny the fox Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Wonder if we are being used to get a better deal from Marseille ?
Bettsj2 Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 So £10m for Kante, potentially £15m for Austin, £7m on Okazaki and £3m for Huth. This is the kind of spending spree i've been craving!!
Kitchandro Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 A casualty of the sven era. I'm sure I heard he still wanted to play for us but was frozen out when when NP arrived. Who knows. He said he wasn't interested in playing for us without Sven. He was often crap anyway, played well in the early local derbies iirc, but very poorly in others.
mullet Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 The 24-year-old defensive midfielder is also wanted by Marseille but Caen's general manager has labelled the French giants' offer as 'disrespectful' Leicester City have agreed a deal to sign N'Golo Kante, Caen's general manager Xavier Gravelaine has revealed.The 24-year-old defensive midfielder made 37 appearances in Ligue 1 last season as Caen finished 13th in the table.Leicester have yet to agree personal terms with Kante, while Marseille have also made an offer for the midfielder, although Gravelaine has labelled the French giants' bid ‘disrespectful’.“At this present time, N'Golo Kante will not sign for Marseille,” said Gravelaine. “The current offer for N'Golo Kante from Marseille lacks respect.“We will reach an agreement with Leicester City in the coming hours, the discussions will then be with the player.“Financially we have no worries, it is not a problem for us to keep him.”

Pearson seemed to suggest he didn't even get involved until the fee and wages were agreed? He said that in a Stringer interview so he of all people should remember it.
Joe the Fox Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Because Pearson always denied links to players in the press, didn't he?

He said that in a Stringer interview so he of all people should remember it. Yeah that is true, however most agents wouldn't know that. Whether Nige had an influence or not, it's still an opportunity for agents to jump on.
ousefox Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 He said he wasn't interested in playing for us without Sven. He was often crap anyway, played well in the early local derbies iirc, but very poorly in others. Yep he was good against Cov and maybe Forest but did nothing else to deserve the credit he seems to get on here.
