Mattock bids rejected

'Hands off our star players

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson hopes to escape the weekend without anyone swooping for his prime targets before Monday's transfer deadline.

Pearson wants to hold on to his top players, and he also hinted that he is unlikely to sign any more because he is happy with his squad.

City's League One status makes them vulnerable to higher-status predators.

Injured left-back Joe Mattock has been a regular on the rumour mill with West Ham, Newcastle and Sunderland all said to be showing an interest.

Moreover, in-form strikers Matty Fryatt and Steve Howard have also made a very positive impact and could be targeted.

I understand Mattock, valued at £5million in some quarters, has been the subject of no more than tentative inquiries.

And, while there is always the possibility of some minor moves, if the deadline comes and goes without any irresistible offers for his top men, Pearson will be happy.

Is it a relief that there have been no firm moves?

He said: “Yes, it is so far. We do not want to let any of our best players go anywhere.

“As for anyone coming in, the chairman has been very supportive in allowing us to bring in new players, and I am satisfied with the make-up of the squad.

“I am not desperate to bring anyone else in unless they are better than what we have got.

“The games, so far, have shown signs that we have a decent amount of quality in the squad and some good characters as well.”

Pearson takes his team to Cheltenham today hoping for a first away win in League One.

And having pushed the midweek Carling Cup defeat at Fulham out of their minds, the balance of City's squad - which a year ago was in disarray - should again be underlined.

The blend of youth and experience was exemplified by Paul Dickov getting on the scoresheet at Craven Cottage and, in defence, Chris Powell's older head will be invaluable for the likes of Michael Morrison, Jack Hobbs and goalkeeper David Martin.'

Sounds like if he goes its a MM decision and not NP.

I personally think he'll stay, this has been going on so long with so many rumours.

If they really wanted him he'd have gone before (possibly for less)

id take 3mill plus 25% sell on clause. if they did sign him and keane ended up slling him a few seasons later, hes going to want his money back at least so with the 25% sell on clause hed have to ask for over a realistic price. for example if he wants his 3mill back from it he would have to sell him for 4 so we get the 1mill(25%) and he gets his dosh back.

but anyway hes not even gone yet so why i am talki...............

It actually wouldn't surprise me if Roy Keane did.

That twat can pay £8m for Mattock. Or £5m + Fulop + 20% future sale. If he wants Joe we should play silly beggars with him like he did to us last season.

I may be wrong but I think it means 25% of any profit therefore in your example that would be £250K :dunno:

If I've learnt anything from playing Football Manager it's a percentage of the full price, not profit, ha.

Keane hoping for last-day deal

They have a pretty good squad but are in desperate need of a left back. :unsure:

Could this be us?

Keane said after Sunderland's game against Manchester City yesterday that the Wearside club had "backed out" of a deal because another club had "moved the goalposts".

I really want Mattock to stay, to show the rest of football that, despite our League 1 status, we won't roll over and give in to Premiership club's demands.

Can Mattock actually be sold today because surely he wouldn't pass a medical?

After what happened with Matt Piper, you'd think Sunderland might be extra cautious.

He can. Most injured players head to West Ham.

Injured players can be transferred can't they? I think it's if the injury is longterm, something that's going to permanently niggle the player.
