BigMicky Posted 2 September 2015 Posted 2 September 2015 I like how they CAPITALISE certain words including KILLED and AMAZED for MAXIMUM exposure of the SERIOUS NATURE to the reader. For a minute I thought Col had written it.
benpicko Posted 2 September 2015 Posted 2 September 2015 All thanks to John Rudkin? Nah, it's all about Anderson Perry
Manini Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Unsure if posted elsewhere, the mail on our transfers: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3220155/Jamie-Vardy-Riyad-Mahrez-Shinji-Okazaki-Leicester-City-Premier-League-s-BARGAIN-HUNTERS.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 bit more complimentary than Merson: "Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and Shinji Okazaki... How Leicester City became the Premier League's top BARGAIN HUNTERS" Good article that. I wonder who the other two targets were that we were scouting when looking at Mahrez?
Dan Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 (edited) Interested to know who the 2 players who turned into internationals who we scouted were. Pretty sure one of them was Matthew Leckie. That's a bloody good article as well. Well researched and nicely written. Our scouting is under-rated. You look how many clubs in this country just cannot wait to chuck millions at the obvious names and act so shocked when they sometimes don't work out. Our hit to miss ratio is phenomenal. We need to retain it no matter what going forward because I'm convinced it's the main reason we are where we are now. Edited 3 September 2015 by Dan LCFC

Even players that have gone in recent times have been good bits of business like Knockaert and Wood. As long as Steve Walsh remains here we are in good hands.
Babylon Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 All thanks to John Rudkin?I'm guessing that's a joke.
Babylon Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Good article that. I wonder who the other two targets were that we were scouting when looking at Mahrez? There was a thread on here at the time, in a back room photo you could see the scouting papers comparing Mahrez to a few others.
st albans fox Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Wonder if the Korean signing by Spurs is the first illustration of mackenzie's input there? Whilst I agree that walsh's input has been vital, I would hope that the structure in place should mean we continue with a decent recruitment policy if he does leave,
Jacnah Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 To think that guy was actually a referee.... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe any footballer has ever been killed or even knocked out by a football? Edit.. the only thing i can find is this but he's not even knocked out! just painful ball in the face http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/football/video-1034260/Football-funny-Ukrainian-keeper-knocks-player-ball.html i seem to remember watching a Newcastle(?) player get flattened right in front of me......i cant remember exactly when it was, but Christ it was funny....and then suddenly got very worrying indeed...before thankfully returning to hysterically funny. Anybody remember this?

Anybody remember this?Would have been Olivier Bernard. Laurent Robert smashed a clearance and he was stood a few yards away. Smacked Bernard plumb in the face and after a stumble fell on his back.http://youtu.be/LltnTI7MzIM Edited 3 September 2015 by Facecloth

How Leicester City became the Premier League's top BARGAIN HUNTERS" It's a really really good article, slightly spoilt by this: ‘That deal was a calculated risk that paid off but could have been a disaster,' said a source. 'Fans on social media got to him and he needed to be boosted up. The fee now looks cheap now because he’s been brilliant.’ That 'source' could be any one of us! Do me a favour.........
eblair Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Ranieri's one signing was Benalouane - gonna take more than five games to convince me of Ranieri's ability

'Fans on social media got to him and he needed to be boosted up. The fee now looks cheap now because he’s been brilliant.’ That 'source' could be any one of us! Do me a favour......... There was a lot of talk roughly a year into his spell here (iirc) about Nigel having to convince him to stick with it and ignore the twatterheads. It's unfortunately a thing that happened and will continue to happen as long as the pond life constituents of our fanbase retain opposable thumbs and an internet connection.
gerrytaggart Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Ranieri's one signing was Benalouane - gonna take more than five games to convince me of Ranieri's ability Who signed Kante Inler and Dyer out of interest??
filbertstreet Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Who signed Kante Inler and Dyer out of interest?? bloke called gary from the pub
Babylon Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Who signed Kante Inler and Dyer out of interest?? He's quoting the article which states that signing was all on him, where as the others were scouted.

filbertstreet Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Inler is a superb signing for you. Thank you, Shakira was a great signing for you
rico Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Thank you, Shakira was a great signing for you Hips don't lie
Father Ted Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 Who signed Kante Inler and Dyer out of interest?? It was common knowledge that we were after Kante when NP was still here. Benalouane and Inler have Ranieri plastered all over them and thus far, neither have been convincing.
suffolk fox Posted 3 September 2015 Posted 3 September 2015 It was common knowledge that we were after Kante when NP was still here. Benalouane and Inler have Ranieri plastered all over them and thus far, neither have been convincing. Thus far neither have started in the Premier League yet? Give them both a chance when you see them start a full 90 minutes in the premier league playing in their proper positions. Playing the likes of Bury in the mickey mouse cup doesn't really count and bit part performances coming on in the last twenty minutes don't count either? One would suggest captaining your country and playing for some big clubs in Italy in the top league doesn't make one shit. 1
