Darren Kenton

[supedaj]

Anyone know what the progress is? Is CL actually going to sign him or is HR deciding to keep him for his promotion push?

We've signed him on a four year deal.................oh maybe we haven't then.

Oh! Bagger me!

With Southampton going down, he may be required by Redknapp as he's proven at this level. It's a shame really because Kenton looked the part at centreback.

Levein hasn't mentioned him at all about transfer speculation so I guess he's not coming back.

I would have liked to see him here as he looked quite useful at centreback, and was quick. Ah well.

I'm dissapointed Kenton probably won't be returning to City, because, although he made a few mistakes, he looked decent most of the time. And he had pace, which we need at Centreback

I'd heard Redknapp didn't like Kenton, hence his loan move here. But that story could be wrong.

Correct! Redknapp will want rid, but it's his wages that will be the problem. With him having a year left on his deal and him reportedly being on well over £10,000 a week, both Leicester and Southampton can't really afford him. I can't imagine Redknapp paying half his wages and us the other half for the year, the only hope we've got is that Kenton and Redders agree to cancel his contract and he comes here on half of the wage he was on. I can't see him fancying that, but it depends how he feels about Leicester.

Another year earning over half a million, or a massive pay-cut and upping sticks from the coast to the delights of Leicester? Good grief, even I wouldn't do that and i'm a Leicester fan!

Yep good point. I hope somehow CL does manage to swing it - he could be the key in our defence in next season. Lack of rumours/reports about him suggest it may be a lost cause now ... i hope i am proved wrong!
