jonthefox Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 I know one thing about him, he loves wearing shirts about two sizes too big for him. He'll fill that stripey shirt as soon as he finds marios chippy.
dbt_lcfc Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 I read somewhere he'd rejected there contract offer so they were selling him as he was in the last year of his contract so I doubt it would be €3/4
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 I think it's 750 k or 3/4 of a million or 0.75 million
Dames Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 No way would Pearson spend that amount on a young 'unproven' player. The man might be many things but one thing he isn't is he isn't stupid with money.
Rusko187 Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 Wouldn't be surprised to see this in the first game with it being at home, judging from what NP has said. -----------Nugent Vardy Marshall Knockaert -------Danns Drinkwater I think I've just "arrived"
Babylon Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 Wouldn't be surprised to see this in the first game with it being at home, judging from what NP has said. -----------Nugent Vardy Marshall Knockaert -------Danns Drinkwater Would be interesting!

Master Fox Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 On sky sports http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11712/7956363/ Leicester City have agreed a deal to sign promising French midfielder Anthony Knockaert on a three-year contract from Guingamp. Knockaert still had a year left to run on his deal at Guingamp, but will finalise a move to Leicester in the next 24 hours, subject to the Football League granting approval. The 20-year-old enjoyed an impressive last season with Guingamp and he was linked with a switch to Newcastle United back in April. He was also reportedly a target for French rivals Marseille and Sochaux, and Portuguese giants Benfica, but has opted for a transfer to Championship club Leicester. The France Under 20 international will become the Foxes' sixth summer signing as Nigel Pearson aims to put together a squad capable of challenging for promotion to the Premier League.
deep blue Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 No way would Pearson spend that amount on a young 'unproven' player. The man might be many things but one thing he isn't is he isn't stupid with money. You don't think Vardy is unproven at this level, then?
Adster Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 What constitutes a flair player? From what I can work out from people's definitions is that it means someone who doesn't track back but has skill. Are Koren and Stewart flair? Is Marshall flair? Is Dyer flair without a final ball? Or aren't they because they actually put a shift in as well? Gradel was a kid, he took quite some time to get into the starting 11 at Leeds and it was a few years down the line before he produced his consistent form. He wasn't that player when we were sat 4th in the league. Ask DanLCFC, I'm sure he'll have an answer for you.
Dames Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 You don't think Vardy is unproven at this level, then? Yes he is unproven at this but £1,000,000 isn't exactly a large fee for a player. If he turns out to be a cracking player he'll be a bargain if not then well it could have been worse at least he wasn't Akinbiyi etc etc. But back to my original point Pearson isn't stupid with money so theres no way he would have spent over £3 Million on a player untried at this level.
crisp packet Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 This is from April http://m.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/120406/knockaert-newcastle-magpies-close-french-striker-169002 Quite excited ! In Pearson I trust... Now for that big physical defensive midfielder please?!?!
21st Century Fox Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 If we're picking up some of Graham Carr's scouting scraps, we're atleast moving in the right direction and looking in the right places. Pleaseeeeeeeeeee let him settle better than Kermo!
Dan Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 Love how people claimed Pearson couldn't handle players with flair because he got rid of Bamba. Yeh, lets have it in a centre half. In our attacking slots I'd love to see as much FLAIR as possible, he definitely has FLAIR potential. FLAIR all the way.
Dan Posted 1 August 2012 Posted 1 August 2012 Ask DanLCFC, I'm sure he'll have an answer for you. Hahahaha, I love it I don't know when I started using "FLAIR" all the time, I guess it's just the ideal word to sum up a player who's very exciting to watch, and has an obscure name/appearance. Bamba was FLAIR but definitely a risky player. It's far easier to be naturally FLAIR if you're foreign.
