lildave3 Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Yeah but where's Hayles going to fit in? Surely you can't play Hayles and Howard together.As for wingers, you can have Teale / Lewis / Fagan. Teale I wouldn't mind, not the others though. Especially Fagan.
joely22 Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 A bloke made a good point on one of the Derby messageboards saying that it's unlikely that the deal will go through until the 3rd. What Jewell said yesterday on the radio was that New Years Day is a holiday for those at the FA and deals can't go through because of this. Secondly, we have Bolton on the 2nd and are down to the bare bones, leaving us with Miller and Macken as the only out and out strikers. So I'm not sure whether the deal will go through until then. Just thought I'd mention.
joely22 Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Teale I wouldn't mind, not the others though. Especially Fagan. They're all sh*t mate. I'd drive them to the Walkers.
joely22 Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 LIKELY MOVES: Jewell could be tempted to pick up where predecessor Billy Davies left off with a swoop for Portsmouth's David Nugent, while Shola Ameobi and former Arsenal striker Arturo Lupoli are other options in attack.QUOTED SKY! Well Jewells ruled Lupoli out. Ameobi would replace Howard. And as for Nugget, I don't know. They'll all do well next season!!
Mark Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Three and a half year contract for a 31 year old, when will we learn our lesson? If he wants to come to Leicester he would accept a two and a half year contract, thats as far as we should be going. As for Barry Hayles
City Fan Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Three and a half year contract for a 31 year old, when will we learn our lesson? If he wants to come to Leicester he would accept a two and a half year contract, thats as far as we should be going. As for Barry Hayles I doubt he would want to come for less than 3 and a half year contract, and I can't blame him at his age.
Mark Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 I doubt he would want to come for less than 3 and a half year contract, and I can't blame him at his age. Clear off then Steve. He needs an incentive to prove himself, what a late Christmas present for Mr Howard.
Bert Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Clear off then Steve. He needs an incentive to prove himself, what a late Christmas present for Mr Howard. Grow up mate. Teddy Sheringham. Dean Windass. Andy Cole. Alan Shearer. All play/played past 34 and have still done ok for themselves.
joely22 Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 I'm not convinced. I'd rather midfielders. Trust me, you've signed a really good player.
Blue Bob Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Grow up mate.Teddy Sheringham. Dean Windass. Andy Cole. Alan Shearer. All play/played past 34 and have still done ok for themselves. I think the point being made is that in the past we have had far to many aging players who come with a great reputation but see this as their final big contract and dont have much to play for / proove so are happy to spend time either warming the bench or on the injury list rather than playing out of their skins trying to get us promoted. Douglas being an excellent example of such a player There are some excellent players who have continued to play out of their skin no matter what age they are, unfortunately with the exception of Sir Les and claridge we rarely get to sign them.
Mark Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 And Sir Les just happened to be on a 1 year contract, then when he left got a decent move to Bolton who were a top half Premiership team at the time.
Fox in a Box Posted 31 December 2007 Author Posted 31 December 2007 Clear off then Steve. He needs an incentive to prove himself, what a late Christmas present for Mr Howard. Look at his record at championship level you fool. How old was Tony Cottee BTW?
Babylon Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Look at his record at championship level you fool.How old was Tony Cottee BTW? No need for that!! All the players people are mentioning bar windass were exceptional players at the top level for years. Howard is a journey man who has done well the last couple of years, so it's unfair to compare him to them. I think it will be a good signing, but he is 32 in May and will be 35 when his contract is up!!!
Joe. Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Interesting. I think Howard would be a decent addition, not sure about Hayles though at all. Howard, if he gets teh service from wide men, will definitely score goal for us. If he doesn't get that service he'll be as much use as Carl Cort (but maybe slightly better).
FleckneyFox Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Breaking news SSN literally just come on weve agreed to sign Howard for £1.5 million hes having medical now.
Flynny Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Breaking news SSN literally just come on weve agreed to sign Howard for £1.5 million hes having medical now. Anyone confirm? If true thats smashing news Not that I distrust you so much as the entire internet, basically.
ScrumpyFox Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Anyone confirm? If true thats smashing newsNot that I distrust you so much as the entire internet, basically. Ive just seen that come up as well, also says we have agreed to sign barry hayles from plymouth
Joe. Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Anyone confirm? If true thats smashing newsNot that I distrust you so much as the entire internet, basically. Its true. "Leicester agree to sign striker Steve Howard for 1.5 million pounds" "Leicester also agree to sign Plymouth striker Barry Hayles"
FleckneyFox Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Anyone confirm? If true thats smashing newsNot that I distrust you so much as the entire internet, basically. Well it was on Sky Sports news and i dont think they would've made it up its official
FleckneyFox Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 I think were signing Hayles as backup for Howard thats all i can think of and hes going to be or backup big man?
filbertway Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Is the plan to go up this year and offload them then? If we get 2 good wingers in I could see this being a half decent idea, crosses coming in, two strikers that are big and can finish (usually). Also a bit more presence from set pieces.
Tevez Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Howard, Kavanagh, Fulop, Hayles, and the Hungarian wingers In. We're laughing.
Flynny Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Hume and Hayes should be playing on the wings. I don't see the problem with this.
Simon Posted 31 December 2007 Posted 31 December 2007 Hume and Hayes should be playing on the wings. I don't see the problem with this. At a push. Although I reckon we could be offloading Hume in the window if rumours are true. I'd be wary of relying on Hayes at left-mid for an extended period and so is Holloway. I still think we'll sign at least one, if not two wingers. I also hope Gradel gets a chance when he gets back from Bournemouth...
