Fox in a Box Posted 1 July 2005 Posted 1 July 2005 Leicester City's new-look squad reported back for pre-season training today with the promise of more new arrivals on the horizon. And when the players hit the training pitches for their gruelling work-outs, they will be well aware that competition for places is expected to get hotter in the lead-up to the new season. After the comings-and-goings of the summer, City boss Craig Levein insists he is still looking to further strengthen his squad. With the midfield department well served, he continues to eye targets for the defence and attack. And after landing goalkeeper Rab Douglas and Momo Sylla from Celtic, Levein has been strongly linked with another Parkhead player, the left-sided defender Ulrik Laursen who has already confirmed City's interest. Laursen has to work out a severance deal with Celtic as he is still under contract, just as Sylla was, and no progress can be made until then. If Laursen does arrive, it would add spice to City's friendly against Celtic at the Walkers Stadium on July 19. Levein has other targets in mind but is keeping those under wraps until he is in a position to reveal more of his plans. It is unlikely to be one-way traffic as there could also be players on the move. Levein has already declared the likes of Peter Canero, Tommy Wright and Matt Heath are available for transfer, as any saving on the wage bill will help. The next few days could be significant as Levein wants any more new men in as quickly as possible. City open their pre-season action at Kettering a week on Sunday before their two-game trip to Norway from July 12-17, and Levein is determined to have added to his numbers in good time

Scow Posted 1 July 2005 Posted 1 July 2005 I think the departures of Heath, Wright and Canero are pretty much expected anyway. It's just Blanderson attempting to fill a few more column inches.

Sad to see wrighty go thou, but sheehan, welly and coming through. With dublin, deVreis, conns and morris wrighty wont get a look in. Just remember the Goal he scored against forest, happy days.!!
