Wellman Posted 17 July 2004 Posted 17 July 2004 anyone read the sun this morning??? Said that we are the favourites to getting him! B) From the suns website LEICESTER have won the battle to land West Ham striker David Connolly. Foxes boss Micky Adams beat off late competition from Sunderland to sign the Irishman for £500,000 on a three-year deal. Connolly, 27, will replace Paul Dickov, who left the Foxes to join Blackburn this summer. Adams has also accused Norwich of attempting to unsettle James Scowcroft. Canaries manager Nigel Worthington confirmed his interest in the midfielder earlier this week. But Adams rapped: “I thought Norwich were a quality club and Nigel was a quality manager but I’ve been bitterly disappointed. “If clubs think they can come in and take any more of my players on the cheap then they’re wrong.â€Â
Sparky Posted 17 July 2004 Posted 17 July 2004 it says its a done deal ....... we got dave connolly we got dave connolly
Babylon Posted 17 July 2004 Posted 17 July 2004 if it WAS a done deal we would of announced it.... alot can happened in 48hrs. I'm not celebrating until the ink hits the paper.
Wellman Posted 17 July 2004 Author Posted 17 July 2004 it was in todays paper. It almost done, until its confirmed on the offical site then we can start to celebrate
Ikon_Klow Posted 17 July 2004 Posted 17 July 2004 I'm not holding my breath. The Sun has been wrong before. I believe it when I see him wearing a City Shirt.
Ricey Posted 17 July 2004 Posted 17 July 2004 I'm confident that it will happen as Connelly has promised Micky he will sign for us but believe me Connolly has done more selfish willy puller type things in the past.
87fox Posted 17 July 2004 Posted 17 July 2004 pesamistic arnt we Yes we are - The club announced we had McAteer and that fell through so why should we believe we've signed Connoly just because it says it in The Sun?
87fox Posted 17 July 2004 Posted 17 July 2004 Just because I don't believe something doesn't mean I'm miserable - I'm just saying that I'm being realistic and I will believe he is a Leicester player when it is officially announced and not until then!
Fox 4 Life Posted 17 July 2004 Posted 17 July 2004 mcateer was officially announced - so i will believe it when i see him pull on the city shirt!
Matt Posted 18 July 2004 Posted 18 July 2004 It's from The Sun, so it must be true. Yeah and the McAteer deal was on the official site...The sun is probably more reliable than the official site to be fair! -I ain't to pi55ed off about the McAteer deal but its the fact it was official announced and then we didn't get him, I would have like McAteer at Leicester but as I said I ain't to pi55ed off!
Highland Posted 18 July 2004 Posted 18 July 2004 The Sun is only a good source if theres a shortage of Andrex,wait and see what tomorrow brings.
Scow Posted 18 July 2004 Posted 18 July 2004 I'm getting nervous about this now - I want to wake up tommorow and see that he's signed on the dotted line.
Ash Posted 18 July 2004 Posted 18 July 2004 i want to wake up but Sky Sports News on and see the breaking news "David Connolly has left West Ham and joins Leicester City on a Three-Year deal for 450K"

87fox Posted 18 July 2004 Posted 18 July 2004 I really don't think we're going to get him would LOVE to be proved wrong and will eat humble pie all day 2mro if he signs but I quite honestly don't think we'll get him
