Bert Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 We could be in with a chance of getitng him, if/when MM comes in, and there's the obvious Portsmouth connection to. What y'all think?
dandannieldanok Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 nah would go to the prem Yep last I heard premiership clubs from London are talking to him. Therefore this would include the likes of Fulham, Charlton, West Ham, even Chelsea in their predicament.
Joe. Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 He'd be stupid not to got to one of them really. Would be good if he came here though....
Tubes Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 I heard a deal with West Ham was close. i heard fulham
lcfc_jme Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Doubt that he'll be coming here. Self-titled Premiership quality player, very close to a deal with a London club and would demand much higher wages than we'd pay for a player even with Milan in methinks.

Self-titled Premiership quality player, very close to a deal with a London club and would demand much higher wages than we'd pay for a player even with Milan in methinks. After an hour of thinking, i realise we'd be better off by getting in a new defender of some promising quality and shipping out maybury and kenton. Because midfield anyway is where we have quality coming through academy. So i suppose hibs defender Rob Jones is worth a look, and has a good scoring record as well.
MBK Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 Actually Sheehan can leave as well unless he's going to get a chance.

I think there is a very high chance that MM will go back to Portsmouth to purchase some players, so Alexei Smertin is just one of many Pompey options
lcfc_jme Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 I think there is a very high chance that MM will go back to Portsmouth to purchase some players, so Alexei Smertin is just one of many Pompey options The only Portsmouth player I keep hearing linked with us is Svetoslav Todorov. Tbh, Alexei Smertin, as good an addition he'd be to our team, will not come here if he knows a Premiership team would be willing to play him. The lure of playing in the top flight of English football where most of the media coverage is and all the eyes are on you, not to mention the fact that the pay packets are bigger up there, is just too much for people to turn down. Maybe if we were a Prem team and had been for 2 or 3 years we could have landed him. Being a struggling Championship side though, I doubt it.
Geo V Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 I think there is a very high chance that MM will go back to Portsmouth to purchase some players, so Alexei Smertin is just one of many Pompey options I read Sir Alex Fergusons autobiography a while back and he said that the transfer out of Andrei Kanchelski`s was a scary situation as all these unsavioury types almost forced the transfer. Doesnt anyone know someone who can go and threaten Smertin to join us or else??!!
goal-mangal Posted 13 January 2007 Posted 13 January 2007 I think Wesolowski is better. Leicester need a right winger, not a fringe central midfielder.

Jack Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/g...ers/default.stm Looks like smertin is off to fulham
Ultra Posted 14 January 2007 Posted 14 January 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/g...ers/default.stm Looks like smertin is off to fulham Hopefully not by Wednesday...
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 15 January 2007 Posted 15 January 2007 Yes I've always thought that, plus maybe Richard Hughes in midfield ???
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 15 January 2007 Posted 15 January 2007 To above reply, I'm agreeing that Todorov will come to City.
Shipman Out Posted 15 January 2007 Posted 15 January 2007 Smertin is a good defensive Midfield player but personally i cannot see him moving to the Championship or even outside of London, this is a problem attracting foreign players. The only place i could see him going that is not in London or the Premiership is Birmingham due to there position and available wages. It would be fantastic for us to get some players of this calibre in so fingers crossed
