richy2704 Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 On the Plymouth board are you?? Money talks in football mate, if a decent bid comes in for your players you will accept it, football clubs dont run on fresh air! Not being funny but cash must be at a premium at your place with your attendances? Besides, if your top players are ambitious they aint gonna stay at Plymouth if bigger clubs come in with double salarys, that may or may not be Leicester but to say that your players aint for sale is probably wishful thinking. Id say 90% of championship clubs will sell players if the offer is decent enough, players dont wanna hang around in this crap division for longer than necessary! Also, can I ask? If Norris leaves (im certain he will) and joins whoever, will you lot be all slagging him off, calling him every name under the sun and spraying graffiti over his house like some have with Ollie? Are you not having great success this season on the back of the great work Ollie has done for you? Sorry chap what I meant to say was he wouldnt be available to Leicester, yes I do think he will leave possibly in January but more likely in summer. I think he will go to Ipswich and for somewhere in the region of 2-2.5 million. No I wont be slagging him off as I think he has been great for the club, and to be honest I couldnt give a toss about Holloway and never wanted him here in the first place, I beleive he is to big a personality for this club. Yes we are having success however alot of the squad are the squad Luggy and then Pulis bought in before him, he bought two gems in Halmosi and Timar realy made an impact down here.
Father Ted Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 No chance, he is Champions League quality, why would he drop down to Championship relegation quality standard?How about getting Maceo Rigters on loan from Blackburn, he hasnt featured for the first team since his move and won the golden boot at the U21 Euro Championships. Would be a great addition as either forward or winger. What? Nacho Novo is not champions league quality. He can't get anywhere near the Rangers starting 11 and then you really reckon we can sign Maceo Rigters who is world class standard and is only being kept out of the Blackburn team by two top class players, Mccarthy and Santa-Cruz.
Milans Foxes Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 Had posted this in the Leicester City forum but has been closed due to similar threads so will post in here. Could you list players you realistically want to see us sign in January and who do you want to see sold/released? In: Richard Hughes Chris Eagles (loan) Neil Danns Graham Kavanagh David Connolly Marton Fulop (permanent) Collins John (extend loan till end of season) Mark De Vries (bring back, better than Cort) Max Gradel (recall, we need wingers and has been doing well apparently) Out: Jimmy Nielsen (sell back to AAB) Radostin Kishishev (sell to Leeds) Carl Cort (sell, if anyone wants him??) Shaun Newton (sell) Matty Fryatt (should consider any bid, not good enough imo) Richard Stearman (sell) Sergio Hellings (sell/release, obviously not good enough) Elvis Hammond (sell/release) Alan Maybury (sell/release) Rab Douglas (fook off) Louis Dodds (sell, never going to be good enough for this level) This all probably will not happen in Jan and most of the clearout will take place in the summer but if we can stick to the above, we would come out with a pretty good team which would no doubt keep us up. Fulop (Henderson) Chambers (Kenton) Mcauley (N'Gotty) Kisnorbo (Kenton) Mattock (Sheehan) Richard Hughes (Kaebi/Gradel) Danns (Clemence) Kavanagh (Wesolowski) Eagles (Hayes) Connolly (Hume) John (Campbell/De Vries) Future: Ashley Chambers Sappleton King Odihiambo A brand new midfield is what we need and I think the above team looks pretty good, (and realistic). What do you think??
Fez of Mahrez Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 Hogan Ephraim from West Ham "What? That's not even a name!" TPH, Colchester away last season as said loanee striker is announced as sub.

Father Ted Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 Savo Milosevic is surely worth a punt. Also Dušan Basta from Red Star Belgrade. This guy is a legend at Red Star and works his socks off, he is very Robbie Savage-esque, even looking like him. He IS a right back but is ten times better than Rodders. One for the future maybe. Dusan Basta

Dusan Basta dont red star play european football? Why woul you swap that for a failing championship team?
Asha Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 Could be candidates: Marouane Chamakh Gareth Sciberras Stuart Elliott Ieroklis Stoltidis
Father Ted Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 dont red star play european football? Why woul you swap that for a failing championship team? A move to Europe to begin with the chance of a shot later at the Premiership, La Liga, Bundesliga and so on. Also Mandaric has links back there, you never know.
Uncle Monty Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 yo i know i keep saying but get in Claus Jensen?! Also with milan's millions i think we shud start bring back Heskey appeal, anyone with me?
Father Ted Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 yo i know i keep saying but get in Claus Jensen?! Also with milan's millions i think we shud start bring back Heskey appeal, anyone with me? No. Claus Jensen, maybe. Heskey, get real, an England international, playing Premiership football under a new manager at an improving team.
The Reverend Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 yo i know i keep saying but get in Claus Jensen?! Also with milan's millions i think we shud start bring back Heskey appeal, anyone with me? YES AND AS OTHERS KEEP SAYING HE HAS RETIRED!
Tommy G Posted 18 December 2007 Author Posted 18 December 2007 Johan Cruff anyone? Would probably add a bit of sparkle to the midfield
Thracian Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 From the TWTD (Ipswich) website: ====================== Current Plymouth manager Paul Sturrock said over the weekend that his club would not sell players to Leicester due to the bad feeling towards Holloway amongst supporter since he left the West Country for the East Midlands. Now Holloway says he will look elsewhere for new recruits: "I have decided to pull out of the Plymouth scenario because I am very proud of the players I brought there. "I don't know what's getting about but I don't like it. It is very damaging. I was very proud of the Plymouth fans and I don't want to go and raid their team. I am going to move on and find other targets. "My chairman talked to their chairman and I didn't like the reaction, so I have put it all to rest and it is time to move on." Town boss Jim Magilton made an enquiry regarding Norris in the close season and is expected to return for him in January. Southampton, whose current poor financial state appears to rule them out of the race, failed with bids of £700,000 and £1 million for the 26-year-old in the summer. Crystal Palace are also tipped to make a move in January, while Plymouth chairman Paul Stapleton has said he will offer Norris a new contract in the New Year. The former Bolton, Boston and Hull City man's current deal is up at the end of June 2009. Norris joined the Pilgrims in December 2002 for £25,000 from Bolton, who as part of that deal will receive 50% of the fee should Plymouth sell the midfielder.
Uncle Monty Posted 18 December 2007 Posted 18 December 2007 YES AND AS OTHERS KEEP SAYING HE HAS RETIRED! shit santa CLAUS has retired, that one passed me man, owell get eastwood or football manager favourite ever bangera in!!!!!!!!

Ben Watson would be ace. Aaron McLean would imo be the Izale McLeod style who owns League Two and does fook all in the Championship. What's the third one gotta do with early spring intercity congestion charges???
Fez of Mahrez Posted 19 December 2007 Posted 19 December 2007 McLean looks a good player but it's not just Izale McLeod you can compare him with - Karl Hawley isn't exactly pulling up any trees at Preston and McLean reminds me more of Hawley than he does of McLeod. There are very few players who carve out a successful career in the top two leagues after doing well in League Two for a season or two. Even the likes of Jon Stead, Billy Sharp and to a lesser extent Andy Keogh are struggling this season - and some of their success was in League One. The same can obviously be said of Fryatt.

I've seen him a couple of times, a league game and a league cup game towards the start of the season, he does look quite impressive I must say but I'm not sure if he'd make the grade in the Championship, Peteborough are hardly strappe for cash either, they wont sell unless it's a big money move and its terrible risk to take. Having said that 18 goals in half a season is insane. That coupled with the little I've seen with him, I'd have to say he's much better than Izale imo, but as I told you all, Izale is shit.

Posh have a few good creative players. Mackail-Smith, Boyd etc. I see their goals all the time on bloody Anglia TV (f**king Norwich, I DON'T CARE) and they create a lot of chances. As you know, a League Two striker will make no difference until we have the Championship equivalent of players like Mackail-Smith and Boyd to actually give our strikers some chances.
