Bryn Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Top, top player at this level. His PL class is not quite proven, but I know Newcastle fans who rate him. Certainly a good signing, fee seems appropriate.
MikeyT Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Really bored of the 'big spending' tag now. I'm not, i like it. Its been too long since we had any reasonable amount of money to buy decent players. I for one am going to enjoy the ride. Let other fans say what they want, fact is, they would LOVE it if it were their club. Envy is all it is. Enjoy it mate.
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 I would rather 'big spending' Leicester than 'Cash Strapped' Leicester
surrifox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 for what it's worth I don't rate Routledge at all and think this is a pointless exercise
LeeTheFox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 for what it's worth I don't rate Routledge at all and think this is a pointless exercise Completely wrong!

lestajigs Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 I'm sure it said on sky sports news he was on his way to Swansea
Fox92 Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 I'm sure it said on sky sports news he was on his way to Swansea Yes I saw that. Just read that they made a bid of 1.5million last night.
Happy Fox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/story-12928533-detail/story.html? Leicester City are on the brink of a double transfer swoop with Newcastle winger Wayne Routledge and Liverpool full-back Paul Konchesky the clear targets. The Mercury understands that City are in talks with Routledge and that he could become the latest arrival at the King Power Stadium within the next 48 hours. Wayne Routledge • • However, reports that Newcastle have already accepted a £1.5million bid from City for the 26-year-old are premature. The former England Under-21 international has been attracting interest from a host of clubs, and the Mercury understands there are offers on the table from QPR, where he spent the second half of last season on loan, as well as Nottingham Forest, Cardiff and Swansea. But Routledge is understood to favour a move to City having been impressed by manager Sven-Goran Eriksson's summer spending revolution. Konchesky is the other player reported to be moving closer to signing for Eriksson, who has been heavily backed by the club's Thai owners to the tune of six new recruits already. Again, there have been reports that 30-year-old Konchesky has agreed a £1.5m deal – so far unconfirmed – but the full-back is desperate for a move away from Anfield where he has been left in the cold since Kenny Dalglish took charge in January. Konchesky is known to Eriksson, who gave him his two international caps when he was England manager, and it is understood he would be prepared to take a significant cut in his reported £40,000-a-week wages. Eriksson is still looking to bolster his defence by attempting to bring back both Miguel Vitor and Ben Mee to the club after their loan spells last season. South Africa defender Tsepo Masilela is also with the City touring party in Sweden, where he has been undergoing a medical ahead of a proposed loan move from Maccabi Haifa. Meanwhile, City's interest in Bristol City striker Nicky Maynard may have cooled after a source at the West Country club indicated there had been no fresh bids over the weekend. Blackpool are reportedly interested in City striker Martyn Waghorn, although Eriksson has again indicated that the 21-year-old striker is not for sale. Academy defender Cian Bolger has joined Bristol Rovers for a second loan spell and goalkeeper Conrad Logan is believed to be joining Rotherham on loan until January.
LeeTheFox Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 I'm sure it said on sky sports news he was on his way to Swansea What a cluster of fu*k!
Carlos9 Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 If Swansea want him and the contract is good i can't see why he would turn them down. There a club on the up and i doubt they will be in the relegation battle next season. Would love to see him in a Leicester shirt next season though. We could probally garuntee him more first team football than them which might swing the bid in our favour but it all depends on what he wants.
sdb Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 So if the Merc article is right we're gonna have (counts Pelts, SSL, Bamba, Tunch, Mills, Vitor, Mee, Berner, Konchesky, Masilela) 10 defenders in the squad, not including Ball, who also looks a strong possibility. Who's for a 6-4-0 formation then?

Sniffer-Clarke Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 Cannot see the konchesky deal going through as the LM states,but also they say WR could sign in the next 48hrs and City might have cooled on Maynard
Rodders Posted 12 July 2011 Posted 12 July 2011 So if the Merc article is right we're gonna have (counts Pelts, SSL, Bamba, Tunch, Mills, Vitor, Mee, Berner, Konchesky, Masilela) 10 defenders in the squad, not including Ball, who also looks a strong possibility. Who's for a 6-4-0 formation then? This is the Mercury. That's a very big if.
