StrovolosTiger Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 That's nice, shame we took the quality (james and de laet) and you got what was left. In addition to Manchester United, we also have good relations with liverpool (hobbs and spearing) and Arsenal (gilbert). It's quite strange how we get the better players from Manchester United, especially considering you have an ex captain in charge. Probably a result of the fact that 'pearson has no links with Manchester United'. Oh, I see, so you aren't desperate for Chester and Stewart then?
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Tunnicliffe would be a great signing but nowhere does it suggest that they will all automatically go on loan to Hull. By the sounds of things Bruce hasn't even enquired so can't be too impressed, and I'm sure if any championship club showed a keen interest before Hull then Man Utd would probably send them out on loan happily. I'm sure when pre season has begun the pace will pick up regards to transfers but wouldn't automatically think all Utd players will just go to Hull or Leicester.
MPH Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Oh, I see, so you aren't desperate for Chester and Stewart then? Is that the same Chester and Stewart signed by Pearson?
StrovolosTiger Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Is that the same Chester and Stewart signed by Pearson? No it's the Chester and Stewart that were signed by and have contracts with Hull City AFC
Mark_w Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Oh, I see, so you aren't desperate for Chester and Stewart then? I honestly believe you want us to talk about them on here so you have an excuse to stick around and tell us all about how we're not going to sign any Hull players. Leicester fans speculating about your players isn't going to have any influence on whether they come here or not, so why on earth do you feel the need to stick around and tell us no matter how 'desperate' we are to become Hull reserves it isn't going to happen. Look here's a link to some Celtic fans talking about one of your incredible players http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/showthread.php?t=123690 if you're really only here to crusade against the evil Leicester fans talking about the possible transfer of a Hull player, why don't you go on there and give them one of your mind numbingly dull lectures and let us speculate about potential transfers like every other fan in the ****ing country does. We're just talking about who Nigel Pearson is looking to bring to Leicester City, we're not obsessed with your players we're talking about the players who the media are linking us to, like I'm sure your fans did with Jack Hobbs and Matty Fryatt, two players that many of us, myself included, wanted to keep at Leicester City.
foxes1982 Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Personally all this talk of Stewart and Chester ring of desperation. We really need to think bigger than Hull players if we want to finish above them this season.

You don't think the fact your current manager used to be our manager has anything to do with why I might be interested in what is going on at a Leicester City messageboard??? Also you may notice that report is old and Stewart is still with us. That's because we made it clear he was not for sale and Celtic accepted this and looked elsewhere. Your media and your beloved Toffee Fox aka Fourth Official seem to want to perpetuate the rumours despite the fact they are simply wrong.
Deucalion Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 I don't care whether we sign Chester or Hull sign Heskey so long as we sign some quality players and improve the squad this summer.
Fox92 Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 No it's the Chester and Stewart that were signed by and have contracts with Hull City AFC lol You really are.
Mark_w Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 You don't think the fact your current manager used to be our manager has anything to do with why I might be interested in what is going on at a Leicester City messageboard??? I'm sorry, I must have been confused by you constantly saying that you're only on here all the time because we were talking about your players. But I see it's just because you're still bitter about Nigel Pearson. Still we all managed to deal with it two years ago and didn't feel the need to go on one of your message boards and complain about any mention of our club or players on your forum.

No, your not getting it. I pass comment on threads where there is comment about our players. Your interest in our players is because your manager used to be our manager. Can't be that difficult to grasp, surely! Put it another way, you Old Sock Face and your media weren't so obsessed with our players I would give a damn about Leicester City and this messageboard.

Yes, and my point was that Leicester fans didn't feel the need to do that when you talked about our players on your forum, when Hull manager Nigel Pearson, who used to be the Leicester manager, was linked to his old players. Can't be that difficult to grasp, surely!

Put it another way, you Old Sock Face and your media weren't so obsessed with our players I would give a damn about Leicester City and this messageboard. It's hardly an obsession, is it?! I'm pretty sure we've signed players' from clubs other than Dull City this season. If it was an obsession we'd be trying to sign your whole 1st team squad, without bidding for any other players. Anyway, my pedigree chum, I can't remember the last time "Old Sock Face" (great name by the way, I don't know how you come up with them, it must be a gift) or our media were talking about Dull City players. The only thing Old Sock Face is obsessed with is assembling the best possible squad to get us promoted, regardless of whether they're from Dull or Man United Reserves (Unless you've not snapped them up, of course).
StrovolosTiger Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Yes, and my point was that Leicester fans didn't feel the need to do that when you talked about our players on your forum, when Hull manager Nigel Pearson, who used to be the Leicester manager, was linked to his old players. Can't be that difficult to grasp, surely! There are differences, Leicester said "Yes" immediately to our transfer offers for Hobbs and Fryatt and they went through quickly because your board didn't want them, and judging by the slating they took afterwards neither did the fans. We don't want to sell any of our top players and you have been told that, yet the interest remains, and therefore so does mine. Old Sock Face is a good name for him isn't it. Despite the banter and the competitiveness I reckon HCFC fans and LCFC fans have pretty common views of Nigel Pearson.

We don't want to sell any of our top players and you have been told that, yet the interest remains, and therefore so does mine. I certainly didn't want Hobbs or Fryatt to go and I'm sure there are Hull fans who do want the likes of Stewart to leave. You got some very good players from us, and we're being linked to some very good Hull players, we're getting carried away, and it almost certainly isn't going to happen, but you constantly complaining about any mention of Chester or Stewart on here is really, really annoying and unnecessary. As I'm sure my replying is as well so I'll leave it at that.

No. Well, if Hull fans' think he's a good manager who knows how to organise a team and uncover good, young players, then I'm sure we do, but you lot do seem rather bitter towards him.
Petchy Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 I thought StrovolosTiger ****ed off this Leicester forum ages ago? We can dream can't we.... His 'theory' behind our club and fans being interested in only their players has been dispelled so many times it's getting embarrassing. ::

Despite the banter and the competitiveness I reckon HCFC fans and LCFC fans have pretty common views of Nigel Pearson. When rumours emerge that players at your club are leaving to join another side, all fans jump on the 'he was never good enough' bandwagon. I too remember the situation when fryatt and hobbs left LCFC and many of our fans had the 'good riddance' attitude. It amazed me, especially because hobbs was one of the best defenders in the league that year IMO and our defensive was extremeley solid, then there was fryatt, who despite being our top goalscorer in a season where serious injury occurred was also slated as our fans declared 'we can do better'. I remember checking a hull city messageboard a few weeks/months back where rumours emerged that fryatt was looking to move back to the midlands due to family interests etc. He also took huge slating from fans, who said how overrated he was, even though he was your top scorer, and scored a lot more than your other strikers. This is football, when a player leaves or is sold fans often jump on the 'good riddance' bandwagon, because they do not want to admit to opposition that they actually have better players. We (LCFC) have recieved great investment over the past couple of seasons, and ironically i feel as though Hull have benefited from this more than ourselves. I would take hobbs and fryatt over beckford and mills any day of the week (especially as we would have saved £5 million +, which if pearson had not left could have been used to sign chester/stewart/koren). Pearson has beec criticised by our fans for some performances last season, which left hull fans delighted in seeing 'judas' (supposedly) fail. But I hope a lot of fellow leicester fans agree with me when I say that this negativity on Pearson is underserved, and has resulted mainly from bad decisions by previous managers and even our owners ( who are not as innocent as our fans belives, yes they are throwing money about, but it is at problems they have created ourselves). - Had Sven not spent near £9 million on beckford and mills, Pearson would have been able to play with a larger transfer kitty and wage budget. - Had hobbs and fryatt not have been sold, we would have a better squad IMO ( I am fed up of all the comments about 'how good beckford will be next season', well we can only base him on one season where he was pretty poor). - Had the owners not decided to rid pearson and hire sousa, we would be £9 million better off, with two better squad players, and chester/koren/stewart may already be wearing leicester shirts at a fraction of the cost it would require at present.

Although I'm not sold on the fact that it was the new owners who got rid of Nigel the first time around, I otherwise agree with all of this. Great post.
Deucalion Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 Despite all the money spent, how much progress did we actually make in the Sousa/Sven period? The truth is we went backwards.
Dr The Singh Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 I Despite all the money spent, how much progress did we actually make in the Sousa/Sven period? The truth is we went backwards. I can't remember Sousa spending alot of money. With Sven, he was given a open cheque book and unfortunately it's turning out to be wasteful

I I can't remember Sousa spending alot of money. With Sven, he was given a open cheque book and unfortunately it's turning out to be wasteful Exactly the type of of points i was trying to make, Sousa and Sven messed up Pearsons good work, and now we must give him time to build again - at least 2 seasons.
Mark_w Posted 27 June 2012 Posted 27 June 2012 I I can't remember Sousa spending alot of money. With Sven, he was given a open cheque book and unfortunately it's turning out to be wasteful £3,000,000 on Waggy, Abe reportedly on £40,000 a week. He spent quite a bit.
