Libertine Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 Sorry if this has been posted. It's on the OS. Leicester City have today completed the signing of former Everton and Sheffield United forward Danny Cadamarteri on a deal that will run until the end of the 2006-07 season. Cadamarteri arrived at the club a fortnight ago to initially train with the Foxes squad. And the 27-year-old forward has suitably impressed City boss Rob Kelly enough to be offered a short-term deal at the Walkers Stadium. Kelly said: "Danny is a player who I have followed since he was a youngster at Everton. He is a forward and he has got pace. "Danny has had a little spell out of the game and he is hungry. He's 27 now and has got a young family. I am sure he would admit himself that he hasn't really realised his potential. "He burst on to the scene as a teenager at Everton and for one reason or another he hasn't fulfilled that potential. But he has now realised that he has got another opportunity. "He wants to do well and wants to achieve what his ability and talent should allow him to. "He has looked after himself during his break. He has been playing for Grays Athletic in the Conference to keep himself ticking over and has been training with us for a couple of weeks now. "Obviously, he is only going to get match fitness by playing matches. But he is certainly in good nick in general fitness terms." Cadamarteri began his professional playing career as a 17 year-old at Everton - and will probably be best remembered by Toffees fans for his cool finish in the famous 2-0 victory over Liverpool in 1997. After six years at Goodison Park, Cadamarteri moved on to his hometown club Bradford in 2002 before making the short trip to Leeds United in July 2004. The speedy forward was then on the move again later that year when a £50,000 deal secured his services for Sheffield United. Cadamarteri found his way back to Bradford at the start of the 2005-06 season, where he made 39 appearances during the campaign for the Yorkshire outfit. Danny made two appearances for Grays Athletic of the Conference during December in his quest for match action. The player has been handed the number 24 shirt.

Libertine Posted 28 December 2006 Author Share Posted 28 December 2006 I can't wait to see him play. It'll be a right larf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONreborn Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 Had great potential when he first started out, and seems to have lost his way a bit. But still, at only 27, he is no Nathan Blake and therefore is not a bad option till the end of the season seeing as Milan looks unlikely to buy us. Well done Rob, might turn out to be a very good back up player. I do hope this does not mean Dodds dropping down the striking list and instead O'Grady being sent to the nearest plane out of leicester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collymore Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 I can see him becoming a cult if starts doing well, I think we should think of some songs now .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Lass Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 Oh Danny Cadamarteri He really is sublime And when he plays for Leicester He dreams of doing lines He gave up Gray's Athletic And he said 'cause they're whack' He signed here at the Walkers to pay for his next crack Not bad for a 2 minute effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosfox Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 Yes, all the best.... lets hope it works out for you, us, LCFC and Rob Kelly..... but beware some posters on here will be willing your failure, as has already been shown in previous threads.... lets hope that they give you a chance to prove yourself before they come baying for your blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Posted 28 December 2006 Author Share Posted 28 December 2006 If Hume went I'm sure we'd use some of the money to buy someone better than Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonisco Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 I'm undecided as to whether this is a good signing or not. I certainly hope it works for him here - we do have a bit of a reputation for reviving players' careers e.g. Dickov. I just hope the fans get behind him and don't judge him before we've seen him play a few games. That said, I can't help feeling we could have done a lot better than him. Oh Danny Cadamarteri He really is sublime And when he plays for Leicester He dreams of doing lines He gave up Gray's Athletic And he said 'cause they're whack' He signed here at the Walkers to pay for his next crack Not bad for a 2 minute effort :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Nice!

Stevosevic Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 Technically you cant argue he isnt good enough. hopefully he has the fire in his belly to turn his career round, give the lad a chance. can he play on saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securedfox Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 Anyone who puts on a Leicester shirt should get our backing. Good luck Cads........Don't let us down...........Pleeeeeeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 And the club's "best natural finisher" according to Kelly together with perhaps our best attacking midfielder in years move further back in the pecking order...without the semblance of the chance Cadamarteri is getting. Cadamarteri had better be good but I've never seen it yet over any prolonged period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was attached to another club, formally, so he should be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 28 December 2006 Share Posted 28 December 2006 he'll score goals i feel. although it seems he never has http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=10582 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
