Soar Fox Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Over his two spells who do you think has been his best signing.
ScouseFox Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 I went other and that would've been tony k. Just completely signalled a new era for us and was something completely away and different to anything we'd seen in years, if not decades. Inspired. Cambiasso off that list. To sign our best ever player for free and then him play a massive part in the greatest escape ever when half the world (and some of our fans) said he was too old and it was a stupid pointless "marquee" signing. Genius.
The Doctor Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Tony K since he signalled the change to the exciting attacking football,
Guest MattP Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Mahrez or Drinkwater. To get a player of the formers quality for 400k is scandalous, we probably won't see deal like that again. Drinks was a player of the year in a title winning side and we paid less for him than Sven paid for Michael Johnson on loan. Vardy also a stunner considering he was from non league. Wasilewski on a free was pretty special as well. Albrighton on a free looks good business as well. Morgan a million was excellent. Hard to pick really. Cambiasso and Knockeart as well. Excellent business.
shailen Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 For me it has to be Wes. He has been outstanding since he has come here and that includes last season. Found it criminal that people questioned him and called his calamitous for poor form I'm a few games. Vardy deserves a mention but he's a bit hot and cold at times.
lestajigs Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Really good question this, there has been so many, I'm going for cambiasso because I think he has made the biggest impact any single Player has, I'm sure without him last season we would of been relegated,
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 For length Dyer,but consistently probably Morgan. Absolute boss in po and title season
Sampson Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Dyer was arguably the most important as he was a key player in getting us out of both League One and the Chanpionship. You could argue blooding Andy King and bringing him through the youth set up and reserves was as important as any signing he made.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 As good as he was, it's not Cambiasso. Let's not let the love affair cloud this one. Dyer for me. Served us very well for a long time. Instrumental in getting us promoted twice and summed up everything about Pearson sides: pace, effort and desire.
tom_kettering Posted 3 July 2015 Posted 3 July 2015 Had to go with Vardy. Instrumental in promotion and survival. Esteban was a very close second.
Mark_w Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Other Huth (if that counts). Surprised you didn't include Drinkwater in the poll.
Aus Fox Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Looking over Pearsons whole time with Us, 2 spells for me it had to be Lloyd Dyer. He just kept giving, brilliant in getting us out of League One and important in both out play off campaigns and promotion. Not as much ability as some of the others but could change a game with a burst of pace and gave his all to the club.
Dan Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 For me, it was Jamie Vardy. The bloke had never kicked a professional ball at the age of 25, and he's gone on to play for England, was the main catalyst behind our promotion in my opinion as he was the one who really did typify what we were about - speed, energy, determination and craft. He really struggled in both the Championship & Premier League, but eventually went on to do everything that we wanted from him. One of the most likeable players I've ever seen at Leicester. Strong shouts too to Riyad Mahrez - this bloke's ability with a ball should not be underestimated, I haven't seen a better dribbler of the ball at Leicester, a joy to watch on his day, for less than £400k from a team I'd wager the majority on here have forgotten. Excellent business. Danny Drinkwater, "tenacious, average" he was quoted as by fans of Cardiff & Huddersfield when we signed him, before going on to control game after game along with James in the Championship, coming second in Championship player of the year, and still enough years ahead of him to make it at this level. Esteban Cambiasso - I don't think I even need to go into detail. A winner and a legend.
Grewks Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Lloyd Dyer. The majority of the others wouldn't have got a chance to do what they did but for him.
Dan Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Lloyd Dyer's a good shout really. Six years we got out of him and he didn't cost us a penny. Seemed to get more effective with age too.
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 No brainer for me. Huth. Without him, we'd have gone down with a whimper IMO.

Tunchev £375k Hobbs undisclosed Berner free Dyer free Cambiasso free Morgan £1million Vardy £1million Wellens £1million Mahrez £400k
J.Lisemore Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Lloyd. Free transfer and I think he was Nigel's first signing for us. Ever since he signed the only way was up really.
