crisp packet Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 I am truly amazed, at the number of negative posts on this site, during the close season. Sven has been busy in the transfer market, bringing in the players he feels are right for the club, Now we are hoping to sign Shane Long, and we are off again. Of course he is over priced, but so are all the other top quality players. If you want the best, you have to pay over the odds, and that's the way it is. Cries of "too dear", "not worth the money", and "but surely we can get somebody cheaper", are common. The question is, do we, or do we not, want promotion. The answer is, of course we do. In order to attain that target, then we must spend, to invest, even though we do get ripped off somewhat. Shane Long is, a quality player, like Matt Mills., and it is good that they have played together. If Long can maintain his quality of last season, assuming he does sign for us, then we will have as a good a side, as the Championship has ever had. We are so fortunate to have good owners, prepared to invest in us, and not be struggling financially, as we were, not too long ago. Go on Sven, bring in Long, and pay what you have to. It will be worth it. This great post

FoxTrott Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 It's probable Reading have accepted our offer. Well that's what I'm N'Guessan...

Dabizas Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 I know people have said top players are always overpriced which I strongly disagree with, but when you but so quick the prices are going to go up as they know we will pay it. If he comes will be more than welcome here and if the board think he's worth it and fires 20+ goals more than worth it, can't help but think what 7.5 mill could buy you though as I have already pointed out hernandez deal for 8 million!

Marmite Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 This would be the icing on the cake, lets not get too excited though we might have had a bid accepted but that could alert other potential clubs who were watching him. The other possibiltiy is that he may not want to come to Leicester. Lets just hope that neither of them happen and Matty Mills sells it to him
Joeb.lcfc Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 the facebook page's that posted it have deleted it
lcfc@ Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 "Fourth_Official: I take what managers say in the transfer window with a pinch of salt" possible about.mcdermot
Happy Fox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 I just arrived on line after two hours what I have I missed can anyone fill me in please
Marmite Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 I just arrived on line after two hours what I have I missed can anyone fill me in please apparantly bid of 7.5 million accepted with 500,000 in add ons
Happy Fox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 apparantly bid of 7.5 million accepted with 500,000 in add ons :w00t: Wow, are we going to get the Jong as well?
Happy Fox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 LcfcInfoMan LcfcInfoMan @ @TheGeorgeBell no, the striker search. The two in the leading frame are Shane long and Jong Tae-Se.
Wymsey Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Wayyy too much money. Shouldn't gamble into these prices..
John Matrix Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 500k for 20 goals seems a bit more reasonable but hey ho
the royal Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Dear Leicester, Stop it Yours sincerely, Reading Fans
Bryn Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 It's obscene money but whatever. The precedents set by other clubs spending like this aren't good, but I can't do anything but watch a really good player play for our team.
Happy Fox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 This lad will bag us 28 goals in the league and 4 in the FA cup you heard it here first
MikeyT Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Dear Leicester, Stop it Yours sincerely, Reading Fans I don't think Sven will listen to you, or even be reading this forum.
