Happy Fox Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11727/7441984/Foxes-eye-Morgan-move Sky Sports understands Leicester are lining up a move for Nottingham Forest defender Wes Morgan. Morgan's current deal at Forest expires at the end of the season and and as yet fresh terms have not been agreed. The news has alerted a number of clubs to his possible availability during this month's transfer window. A number of Championship sides are thought to be keen on the powerful central defender, but Leicester are keen to win the race for Morgan's signature. Foxes boss Nigel Pearson is looking to bolster his defensive options this month and he has targeted a move for Morgan The 27-year-old has established himself as a key player at Forest since coming through the ranks at the City Ground and was named in the Championhip PFA Team of the Season last term
goose2010 Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 thought he was older than 27 to be honest, i imagine you would pick him up for about 500k. Not sure if we need him to be honest?!
Happy Fox Posted 19 January 2012 Author Posted 19 January 2012 You'll never beat Wes Morgan. At a game of chess you could.
StanSP Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 That'd give us options of Mills, Bamba, Tunchev, SSL and to a lesser extent, Taft. Perhaps clear-the-air talks with SSL didn't go down well? Just a suggestion, not saying anything is concrete!

Perhaps clear-the-air talks with SSL didn't go down well? Just a suggestion, not saying anything is concrete! Quite possibly St Ledger is on his way and his replacement is Wes Morgan.
Simmo86 Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 Please no, he's shit. Not really in the Championship team of the year last season. Forest have missed him recently!
cc_star Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 Tunch hasn't been bang on the money, SSL situation is unclear, no one, no matter who hasn't been able to form a partnership with Bamba... Could be a good bit of business
Austin Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 Not really in the Championship team of the year last season. Forest have missed him recently! Just think everytime i've seen him he's not been any better then our current options. If, as said by others, it's a replacement for SSL, then fair enough.
burni Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 Good defender nigel knows if we need a cb, if he thinks we do this would be a good signing
Happy Fox Posted 19 January 2012 Author Posted 19 January 2012 Underwhelmed but to be fair he is decent CB at this level wouldn't cost the heavens, makes certain to piss of even more the Red Shite, and their imminent relegation to League One.
Simmo86 Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 Will be happy to sign him just to piss Forest off!
Jimmy Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 I'd go for Blackstock from Forest if we're looking for a target man, not sure about Morgan though
Babylon Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 If this had been last season people would have been as happy as pigs in shit about this. I'm wondering if people are mixing him up with someone else, because he's been excellent for them in recent years.

I'm wondering if people are mixing him up with someone else, because he's been excellent for them in recent years. One of their better players, who they're really missing, especially the other night. If other clubs are in for him, as Forest's longest serving player I'd be surprised if he joined us... Perhaps he only hates Derby.
purpleronnie Posted 19 January 2012 Posted 19 January 2012 I'm sure if he signs he'll suddenly become a great player and an amazing signing.
