EGBFitness Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 An exciting signing but surely we have this position covered now? Hopefully spend some money in CM and re-sign Cambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylofox Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Suppose its possible that Pearson had a sentimentality to his team and didn't want certain players going and the owners decided that they didn't want the close shave of what happened last season to happen in the coming one. Of course changes doesn't guarantee anything but they might have thought that getting the bigger players in was the best way to achieve it. Pearson didn't like it and well....that was that. We will soon know if we get in a replacement for Wes. After all he did seem a little bit of a favourite of Pearson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBoy1 Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 I love the transfer window As unlikely as I think it is, get Austin, kante and cambiasso and this will be the happiest year of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EverybodyDannsNow Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 It's quite obvious that the owners want this club to move to the next level at a speed which none of us could have ever imagined. When I say none of us, I'm including Nigel Pearson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateWinner Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Don't think we need another striker unless one leaves. If that happens then spending 12M + would be worth it. During the last game of the season he was so technically aware of the game, he made some very smart runs but as the rest of the team was dire he was never picked up. I think almost 20 goals in your first season in the PL speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Nads Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 18 goals in a side as shit as QPR's is bloody impressive but do we really need another striker? Ulloa, Vardy, Okazaki and Kramaric is more than enough, especially as they will all want to be first choice, and that's discounting Nugent. He's better than any of our strikers and he proved it last season. How many we have doesn't really matter. If we can improve the position, then do it.

Happy Fox Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 austin isnt worth 12m let alone 15! He is in imo, WBA signing Brown Ideye for £10m and he scored a paltry 4 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogadug Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Why on earth would NP have issues with strengthening the squad with the likes of Okazaki and Austin?.. Surely it makes HIS job easier and not more difficult? NP has always based his squads on togetherness, just my opinion but I think we'll be spending more now than if we still had NP in charge.

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 austin isnt worth 12m let alone 15! He definitely is. 18 goals from 35 games last season is an excellent return, and career to date - 301 appearances, 180 goals. I just hope this is a Wood replacement, and not a hint of Vardy being shipped off which I fear it might Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Think we're in danger of running before we can walk. If we get relegated after spunking ridiculous amounts of money up the wall we'll be in massive trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Nads Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 austin isnt worth 12m let alone 15! What's 18 goals worth? If he played for us last season, he would have scored closer to 25. He is easily worth 15m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 He is worth 12million and can't blame QPR pushing for more, as there is a lot of hype around him from last season and his England call-up. Has a real ability to score all kinds of goals and would go straight in as our most lethal striker. It would surely mean that Nugent would be moved on and even then would be difficult to keep the remaining strikers happy, but most clubs have to deal with that. I actually don't think he would join us unless no other offers came in and QPR wanted the cash to balance their books some what. I am starting to buy into the theory that perhaps a big reason for Pearson's departure was his stubborness to say no to big signings such as this. If we are still bidding and attempting to make signings without a manager, i do wonder whether we are looking at a coach rather than a traditional, "handle all" Manager. Hiddink could be the name to tip the balance in our favour with some of these ambitious signings too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 3 July 2015 Share Posted 3 July 2015 Parachute Payments will be huge.. Obviously, but it still puts the long term future of the club in jeopardy if we over spend massively giving players long term contracts and don't manage to come back up in the following few seasons.

Why such a negative outlook? I honestly doubt we will get relegated next season. At worst I think we will finish 16th with the players we have on our books.

Wouldn't be at all shocked if we hear about a transfer request being handed in. Yes he would have a lot of respected and appreciation for Nige but.. He is at a club with ambitions to play in Europe He is on a very good contract here On a long length contract Leicester (& Pearson) gave him his opportunity to be playing at this level He is loved by the fans Well liked team member Although there may be a few players disappointed at the sacking of Pearson, I don't think they will be crying theirselves to sleep, throwing their toys out the pram and demanding to be transferred as people seem to think LCFC will carry on, we will continue and progress without Pearson!
