Bettsj2 Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Done Deal? http://www.turkish-f...ead.php?id=3060 I know the OS hasnt posted, but were we not told weeks ago that this was done?
Fox92 Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Now says he's left Leicester on Wikipedia, so it's true No big loss anyway.
glenny_fox Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 another player we've let go on the cheap!! bought Mills for 5 mil Sold Bamba for 0.75 mil... They aren't that far away in ability. Good luck Sol
hbkkids Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Sad day. Don't care what anyone says he is a very good defender. Was a legend when he first came to us and scored a few goals. Will be remembered for his first touch superman goal (as described by gally) against man city and his crazy runs what always seemed to pay off. Good luck to you sol
FrankieADZ Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 they've got a good deal there imo, 750k for Sol is a steal. part of me hope we've put in a sell on clause in that too. good luck to him tho in Turkey. hope he doesnt cluck up there.
lovelcfc Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Big move for him, different way of living, got his family to move etc
jimmer Posted 18 June 2012 Author Posted 18 June 2012 Hopefully big Sol can stomach the sacrificing of goats on the training ground, better than Vas did
Babylon Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 another player we've let go on the cheap!! bought Mills for 5 mil Sold Bamba for 0.75 mil... They aren't that far away in ability. Good luck Sol More a problem of overpaying than under selling.
Guest Col city fan Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 I personally think that they have got a good player for 750k. However, that's another player off the wage bill and if we sell Mills it will go down even further. The wage bill is and will become more important. I think Pearson knows what he's doing in this respect. Wouldn't be surprised if one or two more are shipped out though. Beckford? Peltier? Maybe..
Milton Keynes Fox Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~2815063,00.html Leicester City can confirm that an agreement has been reached for the transfer of Sol Bamba to Trabzonspor for an undisclosed fee. The 27-year-old defender has agreed personal terms with the Turkish club, bringing to an end his 17-month spell at King Power Stadium. Bamba joined City from Scottish club Hibernian in January 2011 and made 55 appearances in all competitions for the Club, scoring four goals.

cc_star Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Sol, thanks for that ManCity game, but you've dined out on that far too long. Goodbye
foxesfan1989 Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Would have liked 1m+. Sad to see him go but I guess we had to get rid of some defenders.

Corky Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 He was entertaining and erratic. At times brilliant, at others mad, but it was never dull. Best of luck Sol.
jock2612 Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Good luk Sol, I think Turkish football will suit rather than championship.Sadly not an NP sort of player.
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Good luk Sol, I think Turkish football will suit rather than championship.Sadly not an NP sort of player. No doubt. I think he could have become a Pearson sort of player, but i guess this FFP thing combined with the fact his wages would have been higher than average mean it's fairly comprehendable why Pearson let him go for that sort of fee. We can use the fee and his wages to bring in a suitable 'Championship' defender or put it towards a player of slightly higher calibre; say Chester. Either way, it's not the worst thing selling Bamba. His ridiculous Cruyff turns and goal against City will be memories for a while, but the Pearson regime continues.
RonnieTodger Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 £750k? Christ. I still think he had a big part to play here so I'm pretty annoyed with this transfer.
Fox92 Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Nigel Pearson isn't an idiot, and he was a solid centre back throughout his career. So if he thinks Bamba, or whoever, isn't good enough, I support that decision. In my opinion, Bamba was never indispensible to the club, wasn't a goalscoring centre back and he will never be a legend (can't believe I read that). Yes he was sometimes entertaining, but most of the time I never felt safe with him in our defence.
MattyFromLE Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Think this was a pretty poor decision really. One of our best technically gifted players - again some would say got into a head hunt of who to blame for the Chelsea loss. He was entertaining, and passionate but he isn't nicknamed "Bomb-scare" for nothing. I get why the haters hate him, but I thought he was a fantastic player.

Filberts Treat Posted 18 June 2012 Posted 18 June 2012 Made a profit on him. Possible big wages gone. Good bit of business. Had one good game. Ta da Sol.
