davieG Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Merc Defender Lee Peltier could be on his way to Leeds United and Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has turned his attention to Hull right-back Liam Rosenior as his squad rebuilding continues. Leeds want Peltier and will offer £500,000 for the 25-year-old Scouser, who joined City last summer in a £750,000 move from Huddersfield Town. Peltier was a virtual ever-present last season under both Sven-Goran Eriksson and then Pearson. But Pearson wants to bring in his own players for what he sees as a crucially important campaign next season. Pearson will then move for Rosenior as he continues to build his own City squad for next season's promotion push. The City boss rates the 27-year-old former England Under-21 international highly and will try to prise him away from the KC Stadium. However, City know it will take all their powers of persuasion to convince the Tigers' owners to do any business with their former boss. Rosenior is coming into the last year of his deal and has yet to open talks with Hull over a new contract as they have yet to appoint Nick Barmby's successor. Moves for Hull winger Cameron Stewart were rebuffed last January and City have also been linked with Tigers pair Robert Koren and James Chester, who Pearson is a big fan of. Meanwhile, Matt Mills' possible switch to Scottish champions Celtic has stalled. City have rejected Celtic's offer of a cash-plus-swap deal involving former Nottingham Forest defender Kelvin Wilson. Instead, City want a straight £3million fee for the defender, who arrived last summer in a deal that was reported to be potentially worth £5m. But Celtic do not want to pay that much for the 25-year-old and instead have now suggested a year-long loan, and have offered to pay all of Mills' wages, believed to be in the region of between £22,000 and £25,000 a week. Celtic boss, and former City midfielder, Neil Lennon wants to get the majority of his squad strengthening done early so his new arrivals have time to settle in before they kick off their Champions League campaign in August. Landing a central defender is a priority for the Hoops, but if a deal cannot be reached with City over Mills, then Celtic may switch their attention elsewhere. Meanwhile, the Mercury has learned that City are one of five Championship clubs who have expressed an interest in Reading striker Simon Church. Crystal Palace, Watford, Bolton and Brighton have enquired about the availability of the 23-year-old Wales international. Church has a year left on his current contract with the Royals but has fallen down the pecking order at the Madejski Stadium, and may find his opportunities limited next season in the Premier League.

Father Ted Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Peltier Out, yes please but Rosenior? He can get fvcked. Would much rather have Liam Moore or SSL at RB over these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitlock Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Didn't Rosenior, say something along the lines of how much a better club/squad is over ours not too long ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieADZ Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 think it might be agent talk with Rosenior imo, as we've just signed De Laat On Peltier, it would be a shame to see him go as I think he has potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LcFc_Smiv Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Wouldn't mind him going, wouldn't read too much in to Rosenoir either, Pearsons being linked with former players and I'm guessing this is no Moore than a stab in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les-TA-Jon Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Peltier seems to have done nothing wrong? He had to play most games of the season, and played with injuries at least a few times. Tough physically and a hard tackle. Not great going forward or backward, but not awful either. Young, could get better. He always seemed to have space on the right but was rarely given the ball. Would be an odd choice to sell him I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 I thought Peltier was gonna be much better than he actually has been. Then again, I still say that he has had piss all cover in front of him for most of the season. From what I see of Rosenior he always looks half decent to me.

Fox92 Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 I like Peltier as a person, but a lot of goals do seem to be conceded down the right/his side (he hasn't had much cover either to be fair). I agree we should get a new right full back (I'd like to see a new left full back as well) but Rosenior? I don't like him, or rate him from what I've seen of him over the years.

flowwolf Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 think it might be agent talk with Rosenior imo, as we've just signed De Laat On Peltier, it would be a shame to see him go as I think he has potential. I think at 25 his potential should have been realised by now. He is clearly just not good enough the step up was too much for him, so won't miss him one bit.

cc_star Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Peltier isn't as great as I thought he'd be & he should be coming in to his prime, Moore seemed more solid as he's younger has the potential to put up with the shortcomings & De Laet has obviously joined us now & SSL can cover. We won't be able to sign anyone from Hull, we've already been knocked back for Stewart & Koren, they won't deal with us. Pelt's Tweet gives the impression he doesn't know anything about leaving though. I'd say this originated from Rosenior's agent trying to get him a move anywhere as he's in the last year of his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Rosenior was a **** at the KP a couple of months ago Broke Cunninghams leg the year before No thanks, think Pelts could be an asset in the future, worth way more that 500k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 They can F O for £500,000, hes definatly worth more than we bought him for now, even if he's not had the greatest season he's done nothing to knock £250,000 off his valuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyT Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 The same Rosenior who slagged us off in an interview when Pearson returned here. No thanks. Aside from that, is he an improvement on Peltier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenYourSmilingLCFC Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Don't think many people realise Peltier can also play Defensive Midfield and CM so not just a right back. I rate Rosenior but if we were to go in for another RB, Tyrone Mears from Bolton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieADZ Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 also...it always seems to be Leeds who are attempting to buy our players on the cheap aswell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock2612 Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 Pelts is fine and has alot of potential,his problem as stated above was the cover in front ,mainly Gally who was just not prepared to work his way back when he lost the ball.I say NO to this if true and Hull will NOT sell to us so the LS thing is rubbish.

ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 30 May 2012 Share Posted 30 May 2012 He doesn't wanna go judging by his twitter, and personally I'd have him in my team. Is he better than Rosenior, not really. First season in the championship and has to adapt to it, which he has done now IMO. Would be a shame to see him go, especially to them Yorkshire ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF (as always) NP doesn't rate him, then he won't play. Which means he'll be worth a lot less than 500 by the end of his contract / the season. And we'll have been paying his wages. 500 sounds okay to me, given that we probably won't need to replace (RdL, SSL, LM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson does rate him cause he was an 'ever present under both Sven and Pearson' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
