Out Foxed Posted 23 July 2012 Posted 23 July 2012 pelts can play as a midfield player played a few games as a midfileder for Huddersfield he's still classed as a defender first.
Petchy Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Wow! There's a huge mistake in practically every sentence! JB did not cost £4m, LP was not one of the success stories - probably the worst of the regular starters, not primarily a midfielder, got worse as the season went on, it's not the Walkers anymore, I wouldn't call £750,000 a lot, especially if we get a £650,000 sale, no mention of departees, and no chance to grow?! The writer just said LP got 47 apps! Yeah, exactly. It's the worst written article I've read in a long time. It's absolutely laced with bias and mistakes!
GianEmmo Zola Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Anybody read this? http://www.dexysden.co.uk/2012/07/peltier-move-exposes-leicester’s-flawed-transfer-policy One of the worst pieces of 'journalism' I've ever read. Lee Peltier is a midfielder don't you know.... Pelts played really well as a midfielder in theplay offs for huddersfield!
Deucalion Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Peltier is just the latest in a long line of Leicester players to be scapegoated. He had a solid season last year.

Jobyfox Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Peltier is just the latest in a long line of Leicester players to be scapegoated. He had a solid " an average" season last year. Certainly not the worst player ever to play for LCFC, but not one to mourn the loss of him going.
Happy Fox Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/7929996/Whites-move-for-Peltier Sky Sports understands Leeds United have made an official approach for Leicester City defender Lee Peltier. The former Liverpool right-back is expected to leave the Foxes this summer, with Leeds and Huddersfield vying for his services. Whites boss Neil Warnock is keen to bolster his defensive options as Paul Connolly is currently on the transfer list. Leeds could now steal a march on their West Yorkshire rivals by making the first move to land the 25-year-old.Peltier joined Leicester from the Terriers last summer, but it is understood he no longer features in manager Nigel Pearson's plans.
Petchy Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Pelts played really well as a midfielder in theplay offs for huddersfield! I'm not saying he has never played in midfield, but he is prodominantly a defender. It's just really lazy journalism.
eaststandtom Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Peltier is ok. That is all in my eyes. He isn't what you'd call a modern right back charging up and down the flank. his tracking back wasn't great either. its a shame to see players come and go so quickly but i think we can do better
MGLCFC Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Thought he made a promising start, but got found out as a weak link in the defence as the season progressed. Too many goals came down the right side of our defence - maybe not just Peltier's fault, but he did struggle to get back when attacks broke down.
MattyFromLE Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 I actually think Peltier wouldn't be a bad right winger - got a decent shot on him, although unsure of his crossing abilities. He was poor as right back due to his positional awareness - however, i firmly believe Pearson has the ability and experience to improve this.

I seem to remember his crossing and attacking decision making being pretty poor last year.

He was poor as right back due to his positional awareness - however, i firmly believe Pearson has the ability and experience to improve this. Might be one of the worst things i've ever read. He'd be about as useful at right wing as Alan Maybury, oh wait we tried that and it was wonderful.
coatsworthstache Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 I seem to remember his crossing and attacking decision making being pretty poor last year. Certainly not the only player who can be accused of poor decision making in the final third last season, it was a failing of everyone throughout the season, especially when teams came to the Walkers set-up not to lose. Sad that he's going, and as mentioned somewhere above, it's a shame that Pearson doesn't feel there is enough to work with and coach out some of the short-comings. Would prefer that to making a loss on him, which I guess we will be doing now.
davieG Posted 24 July 2012 Author Posted 24 July 2012 It's hard to judge his overall defensive abilities when he was part of a wildly disrupted ever changing defence which left him totally isolated on the right on many an occasion especially noticeable when he was partnered on that right side by Mills. Whether he's good enough or not I doubt many can really claim with any real knowledge that De Laet will be better.
MattyFromLE Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Might be one of the worst things i've ever read. He'd be about as useful at right wing as Alan Maybury, oh wait we tried that and it was wonderful. I don't think he'd be that bad. I meant that he may be more effective in that position because he is generally poor tracking back, if we had someone behind him - then this may work. At the end of my comment, I did say that I thought Pearson can get the best out of Pelts as a right back, IF he stays. And i'm pretty sure other people have said far "worse" things.
Raw Dykes Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Might be one of the worst things i've ever read. He'd be about as useful at right wing as Alan Maybury, oh wait we tried that and it was wonderful. That's a bit harsh! I happen to agree - I don't think LP would be a decent winger, but come on. You're obviously not spending enough time on this forum these days. I read something written on here twenty times worse than that on a daily basis.
Out Foxed Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Id give him one more year personally. has he got a terminal illness?

I agree; when a team is playing out-of-sorts it's difficult to pin down who are the more deficient performers. I guess only time will tell. We have to put our trust in NP's judgement.

Was the other way around for me, Mills was constantly having to come across and cover for the non-existent Peltier making him look shit in the process
escos Posted 24 July 2012 Posted 24 July 2012 Was the other way around for me, Mills was constantly having to come across and cover for the non-existent Peltier making him look shit in the process Thank **** for that! Somebody else gets it. Welcome to a very small club mate you obviously went to the same games as me and didn't just jump on the Mills hate band wagon!
