potter3 Posted 28 December 2006 Posted 28 December 2006 Better than Low or Welsh and in the end thats all that mattered. Seeing as I'll branded a anti-supporter for having the nerve to critisize a player I've seen plenty of, I'll hold fire on DC. He's also amazingly slow, thought I'm sure he is faster than Low and probably Hughes too.
toonfox Posted 28 December 2006 Posted 28 December 2006 Lay off danny, i think he will be a good player for city and will grab a few goals. But you have to look and think were getting players from grays!!!! how about neil shipperley from sheffield united hes on the trasfer list and you garenteed goals!!
He's not bald Posted 28 December 2006 Posted 28 December 2006 I've got to say this is a fantastic signing for the club! A player of Cadamarteri's quality will significantly improve our attacking force. For a club like Leicester to sign a player of this calibre should give everyone involved with LCFC a real reason to celebrate!!!! 3-2-1 your back in the room!
Manwell Pablo Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 Well, The doubters and anti-kelly brigade will once more be hoping for something to go wrong but personally I'm sure that signing someone for 20 weeks will not break the bank and gives us an extra body in the squad. If we could afford the wages and associated fees of Henry or Drogba I'm sure that we'd have made enquiries to sign them. As for Dodds having his nose put out even further, I reckon that maybe, just maybe he gets spoken to quite regularly about his progression within the club and he'll have his future quite clearly marked out. It's probably only his supporters that are taking offence at what is a very short term move. Cadamateri may well prove to be shit. So be it, but I for one will not slate him off without having seen him. Unfortunately I don't seem to have been blessed with the same knowledge of players as some. If he's fast and shit then he's no worse than Elvis. Why the Plural?
lildave3 Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 An early exit for O'Grady, anyone? Maybe, another loan spell for Dodds certainly.
Leicester's 12th Man Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 An early exit for O'Grady, anyone? Or just to add experiance to the strike force ?
jaffa1970 Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 There is no way RK should, and hopefully would, consider selling Hume. If we could find a decent size striker to partner him and hold the ball up and lay it off...and I know they are a dime a dozen in this league... then he would score even more than he did early in the season. Hume must stay to get us anywhere near the playoffs. I hear Viduka may be out of M'Borough.....cos we need more aussies at the club. I hope Fox 63, from good old ratby, had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek when he asked how much we would get for Hume.
Fox in a Box Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 Give the lad his chance, He cant be any worse than LOW, Im not calling LOW but he is out of his depth in this division he doesnt tackle, head the ball and rarely crosses and when he does he is ineffective, I see that DANNY C is a replacement for him or SYLLA who will be shown the door in a few days. Danny C was a decent player at Eveerton but I hope that he has sorted his head out, if so we could have half a decent player for 6 months. I remember people questioning MON when he bought back TONY COTTEE..... so lets see and 6months is not long and if he helps us rise up the table were all happy.

If he can put the ball in the back of the net like Cottee could then I welcome him. My gut feeling is he will do well, he has a point to prove, and with having young children he has other people to think about and should want to do well, footballing terms or other.

Great point, Cottee was much more the forgotten man, although he had done more than DC earlier in his career , but on the plus side he is still 27 and should have retained his pace, Cottee was 32 and had failed on his return to West Ham gone to Thailand or somewhere and lost his pace! And languished with us for a month or 2 until scoring in a cup tie at home to Brum l think, he then played more games and got his sharpness back . Time will tell if DC is good enough anyway but it could be shrewd business.

Hardly a justifiable comparison Cadamarteri 123(87) appearances 22 goals Cottee 266(13) appearances 115 goals In fact if I was Cottee I'd feel damned insulted

He was a proven natural goalscorer and his record said so. Cadamarteri has no record to speak of even in his prime. Yes he's a better bet than Sylla or Low - indeed a better bet than both of them put together. But better than King?. If so Kelly has seen one hell of a lot in the last month that's never really been seen before. Oh he'll have some early moments that'll get people purring. Low had 15 goodish minutes on his debut too. I don't think Danny will be that disappointing but as Bill Shankly would have said: "He'll fade like snow when the rain comes." Hope I'm wrong.

Blue Fox Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 Cottee was 31 when he retired and scored most of his goals while playing for West Ham, that means Cadamarteri still has at least 4 years ahead of him. I think you just helped to justify my point with "scored most of his goals while playing for West Ham" that means his goals to appearance ratio before he joined us was even more superior. Besides my point was not about whether Cadamarteri is good enough it was the use of Cottee as justification/comparison. As for the Cadamarteri signing I've only one real comment on that - it just shows how low this club has sunk!!!!

As for the Cadamarteri signing I've only one real comment on that - it just shows how low this club has sunk!!!! You can't just solely focus on one player, if you talk about Cottee you must also acknowledge that he had terrific teammates at West Ham (under John Lyall and Harry Redknapp) and Colin Harvey's/Joe Royle's Everton, where he scored 246 goals in 578 games between 1984 (at age 19) and 1994.
Leicfox Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 I havn't read the thread, but let me just say anyone slagging him off already deserves a poke in the eye. Shut up and let him play. I'm confident he'll do well for us. Well i havn't read the whole thread either, just upto your post. Cadamarteri is fooking useless. He's 1st division class at a push. Awaits a poking.

Thracian, I was of the opinion that the only thing that Cadamateri had was pace. Elvis Hammond mark II

As was said before a 20 week signing isn't going to hurt anyone and if he happens to retain some of the talent he had as a teenager then so be it. Trouble is, it wasn't on show at any of the clubs he's been at since leaving Everton. Hopefully he can knuckle down and work his way into the team and if he does that on merit as opposed to us having to play him then good luck to the fella.

I can't see the harm in having a player on a short term contract desperate to prove himself he can either grasp the opportunity or not either way we are not going to lose much AND our current forwards are hardly setting the world on fire at the minute so good luck to the lad and lets hope he proves people wrong because the club will be the ones that benefit!!
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 I wish good luck to him. I can understand the point about Louis Dodds that was made, but maybe Kelly doesn't see him being ready yet. Danny gives another option and that can't be a bad thing, right now to be fair i'd probably even take MDV back just to give a bit of freshness to the boys upfront. Got a feeling he might come on and score tommorrow funnily enough!
Chrysalis Posted 29 December 2006 Posted 29 December 2006 There may be no strikers going and we simply adding competition for places but if one is going I would think it be either fryatt or o grady.

Danny gives another option and that can't be a bad thing, right now to be fair i'd probably even take MDV back just to give a bit of freshness to the boys upfront. Got a feeling he might come on and score tommorrow funnily enough! Not ready! Quite likely not fit after his wasted half-season. But Dodds has demonstrated his ability at every level he's played so far including his 60-odd goals over the last three seasons for Reserves and Academy while Cadamarteri has never been "ready" in his entire career by the looks of his record. People need to remember that it's all very well stoking the fire with extra logs but there's only so much room in the grate and for everyone who arrives, someone moves further down the pecking order. I don't agree with it but can just about understand it with O'Grady because he's never shown himself to be a prolific marksman. But Dodds must be feeling so frustrated and wondering what the hell he's done wrong to be so glaringly overlooked even to the point where he was recalled from Northwich and then, seemingly ignored, judging by the lack of any credible explanation. We have a situation where "the most natural finisher in our club" according to Kelly himself just weeks ago, can't get a kick while some guy comes off the streets from non-League circles - having done very little in a whole decade of football - and gets a golden opportunity. If some fans have faith in such nonsense, fine, but I'm not one of em. It smacks of Kelly just being dogmatic about playing 4-4-2 any way he can when our personnel is far better suited to 4-3-3. For me it's just the latest in a line of strange happenings at the club.
