davieG Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Search Continues Rob Kelly says he is leaving no stone unturned in his quest to freshen up the City squad. The Foxes boss has earmarked a number of targets to strengthen his hand, but has so far been left frustrated in his efforts. And following the recent departures of Josh Low and Momo Sylla, Kelly is keen to bring in some new faces at the earliest possible opportunity. He said: "We haven't got the biggest squad in the world. We are out there looking at players and trying to do things, but the bottom line is we have not been able to afford to bring in the players that I have asked for. "I have asked and I have been told we can't do it. That's the reality of the situation and we get on with it. "I would like to add to the squad, but we are not in a position where we can do that. I have enquired about a couple of players, but they are just simply out of our reach. "We are actively out there trying to bring players in and I am sure the fans understand the situation. The fact that we have so far been unable to bolster our squad certainly isn't down to a lack of effort, that's for sure."
Phlashman Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 I think a problem could be that with the MM situation clubs could be holding out for more from us. But equally it could be RK trying to get some deals by offering way below before MM but when MM arrives he can go back with a much better offer which is still a bargin! But yeah, if we get a few injuries we're in (more) trouble.
Louise Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Bit of a strange article if you ask me, the title says that the search is continuing, but the text says 'we're not getting anyone in, we're too poor', whether it's supposed to be a MM propaganda piece I don't know.

Geo V Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 That isnt such encoraging news really. He obviously has no money to spend and the players he wants are out of his reach.
davieG Posted 11 January 2007 Author Posted 11 January 2007 Well I've heard Momo's available on the cheap
lookwhaticando Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 <--------- Start: Fuzzy Logic ----------> t's brilliant news actually. He's looking for players more valuable than we can afford, so they must be good. If we had a bit of cash, we could pull off a few good signings. <!--------- End of Fuzzy Logic ---------->
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 At least Kelly isn't selling us short it seems, good on him for that.

Other then trying to reassure us that they are actually trying to bring some fresh blood to the Walkers it's a load of old twoddle Why don't they release a statement on the importants issue namely the real reason why is our takeover taking so long!

Looking under stones is no good looking on football pitches would be better ROB!
Geo V Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Looking under stones is no good looking on football pitches would be better ROB! Asking for Ronaldo, Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard isnt realistic either RK.
renards Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Whats he saying? Just covering his ass IMO I think its fairly obvious the board will not sanction any purchases until the take over situation is sorted
Dr The Singh Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Whats he saying? Just covering his ass IMO I think its fairly obvious the board will not sanction any purchases until the take over situation is sorted Could be the case, anyhow i'm getting impatient and frustrated with the takeover and lack of funds to spend!!!
MC Prussian Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 That's a lot of wasted space for clearly no statement at all.
renards Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 I'm on bit of a downer Just got rid of a Skoda, Riliant Robin and a Citroen 2CV that iv'e had sitting there doing nothing Was rather hoping to get a Bentley.......sadly nothing doing
teblin Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 At least he knows who he wants to buy if we do have some cash soon.
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 With the exit of Low and Sylla and possibly Hendo he is slowly gettin rid of the crap or players that he deems surplus. I think he knows already what his budget is and I suspect milan has told him personally. He would not be releasing players unless he knew he could bring in new faces for definate. He's got rid of two right wingers and I reckon Hughes will be off soon too (been linked with Luton and Palace). So we can see he is after a right winger, possibly we may get Jobi Mcanuff in. One things for sure Kelly knows what he's got to spend.
