Babylon Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11712_7078820,00.html Skysports.com understands Sven Goran Eriksson's ambitious Leicester have bid for Reading striker Shane Long. Long: Hot property West Brom, Fulham, Everton, Newcastle and West Ham are all also interested after the 24-year-old scored 28 goals in all competitions last season. Long has previously admitted West Ham would be something he would have to consider after reports of a £7million bid, but he has also maintained he is happy at Reading. Leicester, though, are favourites for the Championship title after Eriksson's summer squad remodel. Eriksson has previously admitted Long is a target, but Leicester have now taken the decision to make an offer and the Swede's summer spending could top £15m as a result.
Babylon Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 How much? £127 million. For that reading become Leicester B, the reserves play at their ground and Madjeski has to dress as a lady boy for every game.

Mr.Lowe Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11712_7078820,00.html Sorry been beaten to it. Fingers crossed this happens in my opinion.
Ric Flair Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Let's hope this get wrapped up as quick as the Mills deal.
Joe. Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Celebrate good times come on They still have to a) accept it and b) Long to agree terms. Long way off yet.
Babylon Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 They still have to a) accept it and b) Long to agree terms. Long way off yet. Could have already been discussing terms as they had with Mills. Doubt it on this one though.
Mr.Lowe Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Let's hope this get wrapped up as quick as the Mills deal. ...and bangs in a hattrick against Cov on Saturday!
Happy Fox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 They still have to a) accept it and b) Long to agree terms. Long way off yet. I am just not just excited about Long , but the fact that we have assembled an excellent squad that has every chance of winning the title
MikeyT Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 If he went to Everton or another Prem side, i can honestly see it being like another Beckford situation, who has hardly set the world alight at Everton. Sign for us, gain another season in the Championship and then go up with us.
Happy Fox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 In relation to Joey Barton skysportsnews says one championship club is interested I am guessing this is either us or West Ham
Haydos Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 If he went to Everton or another Prem side, i can honestly see it being like another Beckford situation, who has hardly set the world alight at Everton. Sign for us, gain another season in the Championship and then go up with us. Top scorer last season wasn't he?
surrifox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 They still have to a) accept it and b) Long to agree terms. Long way off yet. Credit to Sven for playing the long game - I'm longing to see this lad at the KP
sbfox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 I personally think that's an offer they can't refuse. It comes down to Sven's choice, I personally would prefer Maynard even if it was for an extra million than Long. Who do you want to see us sign? Sven's promised a 'big name' so that has to rule out Le Fondre's thread No, it doesn't come down to Sven's choice. If Bristol won't sell Maynard, then there's nothing Sven (or anyone) can do.
MikeyT Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Top scorer last season wasn't he? I said when he first went there
Dabizas Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 In relation to Joey Barton skysportsnews says one championship club is interested I am guessing this is either us or West Ham Not us But in regards to this like many others the price for me is OTT, but a small price to pay if it is the difference between us being a good team and a great team!
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Credit to Danny who posted this first Cheers mate!
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Heard from one of my sources that we will confirm a bid of around 7m upfront for Long either today or tomorrow,don't shoot the bullet! Told you that the bid was going to be confirmed today/tomorrow! I'll post any further updates I get!
JJS84 Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Credit to Danny who posted this first I'll argue it was me who posted first on page 25! Please prove me wrong.
Jobyfox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 I'm going to start a campaign to bring back the Maynard thread.
One Arm Babba Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Told you that the bid was going to be confirmed today/tomorrow! I'll post any further updates I get! I'll argue it was me who posted first on page 25! Please prove me wrong. Bring back Bert. The humble info oracle....
