Mark Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 You mean Mark Yeates right? All I know is that he's a left winger.
JoeyB Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Leicester Capture Spurs Winger Leicester City have added their second signing of the day following the capture of winger Mark Yeates from Tottenham Hotspur on loan until the end of the season, subject to FL paperword approval. The 22-year-old Irishman follows Geoff Horsfield through the doors of the Walkers Stadium, and will be available for Saturday's Championship clash against Luton Town. Yeates has come up through the ranks at White Hart Lane, and has so far made a total of four appearances for the North London club. He did, however, get some much needed league experience under his belt during a one-year loan spell at Colchester last season - playing 44 games during their promotion campaign. City boss Rob Kelly said: "Mark is a talented young player. We've had him watched on a number of occasions. "He can play on either side and gives us something different to what we have already got. "Mark comes to us with a good pedigree. He did well at Colchester during their promotion season, but he now needs to challenge himself at this level." Yeates joined Hull City on loan at the start of the 2006-07 campaign, but injury cut short his stay at the KC Stadium. The winger has also enjoyed previous loan spells with Swindon and Brighton. Yeates has been allocated the number eight shirt O.S GOD WE HAVE BEEN BUSY 2 SIGNINGS IN 1 DAY BORD NEED A HOLIDAY AND FAST!!!!
Brainy Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Mark Yeates, the left winger? Not a bad capture..!
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 That's what I call a double package then!!!
Daggers Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Mark Yeates (born January 11, 1985) is an Irish footballer who plays for Tottenham Hotspur. He can operate either as a striker or a winger.His late father Stephen played for Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers (2 goals in 11 appearances in 1989/90), Athlone Town and Kilkenny City [1] During the recent 2005-06 season he played on long term loan at Colchester United scoring 5 league goals for them. Has also played on loan for Brighton and Swindon before joining Colchester in August 2005. The loan to Swindon was part of an agreement between Tottenham and Swindon over the transfer to Spurs of Leigh Mills, but Yeates only played 4 games before being returned to Spurs after a disagreement with then manager Andy King. He has made three first team appearances for Tottenham, making his debut against Wolves on the final day of the 2003-04 season in the Premier League setting up a goal for Robbie Keane, and has three Under-21 caps for the Republic of Ireland. Yeates recently signed a two-year contract extension with Spurs, following strong transfer speculation linking him with a permanent move to Hull, who he instead joined on a season-long loan on 9th August 2006.
Monk Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 He better be better than Welsh thats all I can say!
Wils Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 He better be better than Welsh thats all I can say! As long as hes better than Low.
BartonFox Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 HALLELUJIAH- A winger finally!!!! So was Andy Welsh
Louise Posted 31 January 2007 Author Posted 31 January 2007 Thanks for changing the title I was only posting from what was said on RL, Barber seemed to be saying 'Keats'... We must have saved a bit of money on Williams.
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Not really a goal machine, but at least he's not over 30.
lildave3 Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 I remember watching him play for Colchester last season, didn't look too bad, isn't he left footed though?
Sods Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 I don't care if hes shite, A winger yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets party
Leicester Lass Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 As long as hes better than Low. Aiming high eh?
The People's Hero Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Can I just point out though, that the reason wingers always fail here is because we just hoof the ball at them/over them/past them. We have to play to this guy's strengths if we want him to make any impact. HOOOOF though. HOOOF always.
Thracian Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Haven't seen him play but it sounds more promising and might offer Kelly more options. Right age at least.
Daggers Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 As long as hes better than Low. City boss Rob Kelly said: "...but he now needs to challenge himself at this level."
Joe. Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 What I've seen of him he doesn't look bad. Apparenty he can play both sides, right wing solved finally (well at least for a while). Is surely better than Hughes on the right. Lets wait and see..
Leicfox Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Ive seen him a few times, he's shit. Bring back Low tbh.
Flynny Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 I'd be more comfortable if it were a signing, but this is good news. I think our midfield will be better after today, not worse, though I thought that before we signed this guy too.
lildave3 Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Ive seen him a few times, he's shit. Bring back Low tbh. He can't be worse than Low...it's not possible. Is it?
Dames Posted 31 January 2007 Posted 31 January 2007 Ok not a bad signing but rob can we now get a Center Mid in before the day it through ?
