sdb Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/137223-leicester-city/ a little light reading from our friends in the south-west on our chances of promotion next season. I think this Maynard speculation is really winding them up! Seem a pretty sensible bunch to me.
Itsthejoeker Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 'I don't see the big hype over Leicester. They have hardly signed any class players have they? Lee Peltier = Big wow hardly a good player, big test for him in the NPC Neil Danns = An ok player but hardly consistent if they want promotion Kasper Schmeichel = There best buy so far, good keeper Sean St Ledger = Not a bad defender David Nugent = Was always overrated and all in all a pretty crap striker NudieRed's Prediction: Leicester will be overhyped, Sven will be gone by christmas due to a few poor results and for him leaving for 'private reasons' Leicester to full into chaos and end up finishing 12th. Sorry but they don't stand out and I fail to see how they are promotion favourites. ' Even better!!
That lad from Japan Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Otib is the worst championship forum. Deluded fans who are ill informed and ive tried joining twice to no avail. Probably went to 3 games between them last year.
One Arm Babba Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 There are some brilliant armchair supporters on that forum. The common consensus is that all the players we have signed are overated and that Bristols arch rivals from Wales are signing better players with more experience than our lot. Seriously, does anybody follow the SPL??? I wouldn't know if Goodwillie or Conway are decent or not because in my humble opinion the SPL is dull and I do not study it. Danns has been one of Crystal Palaces best players for couple of years and St. Ledger has done well in a very poor PNE side. Yet they are slating them. We must be pissing them off with this Maynard business. There's gonna be a lot of unhappy Bristolians if he signs.
Lester LXXIV Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 I was just thinking the same! We'll all be sick when he fecks us off!
Callabinho Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Ok so, Peltier- highly rated right back with plenty of pace, passion, and a trick or too. Danns- probably one of the best midfielders in the league and EXPERIENCED. Kasper- a solid championship goalkeeper Nugent- deadly at this level experienced, and scored 14 goals in a crap team! Sven has brought in players who know the league inside out. So if we capture Mills that will be a pretty big signing in my eyes!
wurmer Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 I was just thinking the same! We'll all be sick when he fecks us off! I will just be glad when this is over, either way - then the wurzels will clear off back to their own boards..
Redski Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Don't tar us all with the same brush, I'm sure most on OTIB would agree that Danns is a great signing, Peltier and St Ledger are both players that we have been interested in (according to OTIB) however Schmeichal and Nuggent could be a risk IMO?

Eh? how is Nugent on a free a risk? He scored 14 for a poor Portsmouth team last season.

We all live within our own clubs bubble!
Redski Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Didn't someone mention £25k a week? I wonder how the current squad will feel about that?
One Arm Babba Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Didn't someone mention £25k a week? I wonder how the current squad will feel about that? They'll be playing in a better team to get themselves on Premier League wages next season.
Ian pcp Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Hi Guys, I really rate this player he is absolute quality, I just hope we can secure his services.
Redski Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 They'll be playing in a better team to get themselves on Premier League wages next season. Careful you'll sound like a Cardiff fan soon If you mananged to sign Maynard and Mills then you will have done very good business this summer.

So if we capture Mills that will be a pretty big signing in my eyes! you could play devils advocaat either way, truth is none of us really know what to expect until a few games into the season. Peltier and Nugent might be good players but we arent actually stronger in those positions are we from last season when we had Yakubu and Naughton. Danns looks decent but hasnt he only been ina promoted team once, St Ledger looks decent but again is he promotion calibre in this division? Shoot me Back on topic I'd liove Maynard, wouldnt pay 5mil for him but we might be in a position where we need a striker so bad we might have too.
Guest MattP Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 They'll be playing in a better team to get themselves on Premier League wages next season. You dont know the mind of a footballer do you?
wayne76 Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Didn't someone mention £25k a week? I wonder how the current squad will feel about that? Most of the current first teamers i.e king,wellens,galley etc that signed new contracts recently will be touching £25,000 a week so whats your point?leicester have always paid good wages you must find it strange yes?Is it the fact that your average player is on around £5,000 a week? Hence maynard stalling on his contract!!!!
John Matrix Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 you could play devils advocaat either way, truth is none of us really know what to expect until a few games into the season. haha
One Arm Babba Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 Careful you'll sound like a Cardiff fan soon If you mananged to sign Maynard and Mills then you will have done very good business this summer. I lived there for a few years... Must have rubbed off. I like others am just excited at the prospect of having a real go this year. And like all footy fans, you have to think ur team are going to achieve their goal.
Legend_in_blue Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 I don't know what makes them think they can compete in this league by somehow holding onto this player. Even if they did, what makes them think they'd do any better than last season? They are mid-table at best. They may as well give him up. They're not big enough to hold onto someone who apparently is too big for this league. Although to be honest, I still don't know what all the fuss is about. They are even convinced that by selling him to a PL club, they'd be able to sell at a lower price than to one in our league. Delusional. No-one in this league will be prepared to fork out £4m up front for this player. Apart from us. No-one else has the money. What proof is there that he's good enough for the PL? He needs to show it in a team pushing for promotion, not one looking to make an outside bid for it at best.
One Arm Babba Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 The speculation will end tomorrow, when Bristol City accept our next offer and NM swaps Portugal for Sweden. :-p
