Gené and Tonic Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 And to add, we could use the money from selling players like Wright and Canero to buy a striker; although there doesn't seem to be much interest in them at the moment. Enter MA stage right!
Alexikokopops Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 ,Jul 12 2005, 5:13 PM]Not exactly pinning my hopes on O'Grady, he wasn't exactly convincing for Notts County, although under the new regeime he could progress a lot better than under MA, there's a lot more youth talk. 136751[/snapback] Why not? O'Grady has never been mentioned in the same breath as Tommy Wright who was the next Joachim or Heskey. Unlike Wright he seems to have knuckled down and got on with trying to become a player CL wants around. Levein would not have taken him to Norway if he didn't see something in him. The fact he is out there and Wright isn't should be evidence enough he has something about him as CL has demonstrated he is fairly ruthless, Heath, Canero and the rest of the released lot found that out. I still think CL will be in for another Lovell calibre player so he can develop him and O'Grady for the future. 136778[/snapback] I saw him play a couple of games at Notts County cus my ex was a season ticket holder and he wasn't exactly prolific there, which was why I wasn't gonna get too carried away. I suppose I should have said I'm not exaclty pinning my hopes on him for next season, but if the lad works hard then who knows. I agree that Levein must see something in him, and he's got time on his side to learn and progress, plus there's a lot more emphasis on the youth under CL than MA which can only help.
BartonFox Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 Totally agree, and TBH I am not pinning my hopes on any striker we sign for the coming season, well not until after Christmas at any rate. I think a lot of people on here have the impression that a new striker means a direct replacement for Connolly or de Vries, which is not the case. As stated earlier Dion is MdV's understudy and a new striker will be used as a late sub in tandem with O'Grady. Connolly and de Vries are first choice, make no mistake.
James2007 Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 whatever happened to the rumour about Mads Timms coming to Leicester
Guest seanfox778 Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 surley adam boyd from hartlepool won't be that expensive
woznotwos Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 Well either way,the squad already looks better than last season!! well done CL !!
Cal Posted 12 July 2005 Author Posted 12 July 2005 Well either way,the squad already looks better than last season!! well done CL !! 136820[/snapback] I Agree, Also I agree either Adam or Kris Boyd would both be good signings
Guest seanfox778 Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 when was the last time someone scored at least a brace for us
Steven Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 You never know, Morris might be fit for a while and do well. Fingers crossed! 136773[/snapback] Unfit already is the rumour.
Steven Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 Someone fast as the last thing we need is a target man as we have probably the best in the Fizzy already, Dublin.
Mark Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 Someone fast as the last thing we need is a target man as we have probably the best in the Fizzy already, Dublin. 136861[/snapback] Based on what exactly? I can only think of his past? Of course compared to De Vries he's outstanding but we didn't see many performances from him last season, especially up front. He performed much better at the back.

Hitesh Posted 12 July 2005 Posted 12 July 2005 I would like to see boyd come. havent seen him play but from what people have said on the forum, he doesnt sound to bad. And i was surprised to see Lovell become first choice ahead of Boyd (assuming he is actually one of CL's targets!)

I do like old Dion though
