Lineker's Left Foot Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Doesnt wanna drop down to Championship, according to Sky Sports Can see him going back to his beloved Forest tbh. Don't think we've a cat in hells chance of getting him.
RedHux Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 I don't think anybody has. His wages must be fairly comfortable, he'd have to do actual work if he were to play for either of our teams and besides which, his head's been turned by that London.
Steven Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Doesnt wanna drop down to Championship, according to Sky Sports Thank **** for that.
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 24 July 2012 Author Posted 24 July 2012 I think we've more chance of signing his brother Hugh.
ARM1968 Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Don't want him here. Heard he's an arse. Hugh that it is.
J.Lisemore Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 I highly doubt Pearson would pay £3m for one player, we all know how he works by now.
MattyFromLE Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 Ian Stringer â€@StringerSport Nigel Pearson told us post match he's hopeful of bringing in some new players at #lcfc and confirmed Jermaine Beckford was ill last night..
Happy Fox Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 Ian Stringer â€@StringerSport Nigel Pearson told us post match he's hopeful of bringing in some new players at #lcfc and confirmed Jermaine Beckford was ill last night.. A Left winger, CB and a playmaker please.
MGLCFC Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 Not sure we need a fourth centre back as both De Laet and James can cover this position in an emergency and it seems Bolger is making decent progress. No point in having an academy if none of those in it progress to the first team.

escos Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 I've still got a feeling we will sell Beckford and buy or loan in another striker.
Happy Fox Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 I've still got a feeling we will sell Beckford and buy or loan in another striker. Possibly but if anything we won't get a striker in until a club bids for Beckford and the club in question is willing to take his wages on.
dannythefox Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 I've still got a feeling we will sell Beckford and buy or loan in another striker. If we sell him a don't think he will be replaced at all we have to many!
Mark_w Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 If we sell him a don't think he will be replaced at all we have to many! And in fairness we don't need anymore, Vardy is going to need game time to get used to the Championship, he's obviously a natural goalscorer and there's no reason he shouldn't be able to make the step up. Waggy did a very good job last time he was given a proper chance as a striker in a 4-4-2 starting relativley regularly, I imagine he'll be used just as frequently this time around. Nugent proved how good he is last year, and is the player we should be looking to for goals first and foremost given his experience in this division and hopefully Futacs is going to be perfect at getting the best out of all three. We really don't need Jermain Beckford or any new strikers for the season ahead. Beckford and Nugent didn't work as a strikeforce, Nugent was obviously better last season, the obvious solution is to not start Beckford, and given his wages we can't afford to do that if we keep him. Best he moves on and gets game time, while we get a chance to move forward with some combination of Futacs/Waghorn/Nugent/Vardy I think.
Ric Flair Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 We are a very good left winger and a ball winning, defensive midfielder away from a very good squad. We have too many central midfielders as it is to bring another one in but I worry we'll suffer the same problems as we have done for years in the centre if we don't get a ball winner. Danns, Drinkwater and James all appear to be able to create but they aren't strong enough to play the gritty role needed at this level. King neither fits in to either category, he scores a lot of goals and 'defensively' is very good but he's not an out and out ball winner either. Koren probably isn't the answer either, he doesn't do the grafting very well. Leigterwood from Reading would be ideal but I imagine he'll get in for them next season. Mark Gower from Swansea will be available but he's the wrong side of 30 and Wellens needs to go before we accomodate veterans Hopefully Walsh has been scouting abroad and we can bring in some unknown talent to fill these 2 spots.

Astar_Fox Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 Completely agree with the above post, would like 2 see us go for Liam trotter from millwall, thought he was excellent against us last season
leicesterlad1989 Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 Agree with this. Parkes, Moore and Bolger were all very good last night. I thought Parkes looked terrible personally. Heading wasn't very good and positionally I thought he wasn't too great either. Bolger looked the better out of the two. However, it is the start of pre - season so i think we can give him the benefit of the doubt. Would love all 3 to be on the fringes of the first team come the start of the season.

leicesterlad1989 Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 I thought parkes looked alot more assured in his game and his passing was superb. Ahhh how we all see the game differently. I thought his heading was dreadful, spooning it all over the place. I know the people around me agreed too. (Not that im saying our opinion of him is correct ) Maybe I'm asking too much from him.
Ashley Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 23 May 2012 - 09:29 PMHere we go.... My mate knows Luke Varneys family very well and he recently got told that Leeds & Barnsley want him. Also he's apprantley said he will never join Leicester because we told him he was t good enough when he was younger. Hmmmm.... Looks like I was correct then.
Sods Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 I thought parkes looked alot more assured in his game and his passing was superb. Agree with that Parkes wanted the ball more then Bolger. Bolger didn't look comfortable and lost the ball too much for me.
Grey Fox Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 Hmmmm.... Looks like I was correct then. Maybe, but who says we wanted him? If we didn't make him an offer then he wouldn't be able to turn us down.
Tommy G Posted 25 July 2012 Posted 25 July 2012 Parkes much better of the two, probs my MOTM in the first half. He came out the defence well with speed and much more assured than Bolger who looked a bit clumsy!
