JohnnyB Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 With Waggy being one of the first signings under the Thai's, we don't know what kind of contract he's on. Could be on the way out simply because of wages Waghorn's contract runs out this summer.
Leicester_Numan Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Can think of many reasons to keep DD. Can think of few to get rid. Curious. Why is there never a good 'head-butt' rumour around when, for once, a story is crying out for one ? Can't one of our NITK's invent one ?There's always a headbutt rumour just around the corner. They're like buses....
Leicester_Numan Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Waghorn's contract runs out this summer.And that means we can't give him a new contract and get rid of Vardy or Futacs?He's probably on too much and wouldn't take a drop
JohnnyB Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Why are some surprised that Waggy may be let go? He's barely had a kick for the second half the season, barely even on the bench. So clearly NP no longer rates him or, without wanting to start rumours, they have 'fell out'. I recently watched some of the TV highlights (yes, I know highlights don't give the full picture) from earlier in the season and Waghorn was excellent, especially in the match against Derby. I would like to see him stay as he could well develop into an excellent forward As for Drinkwater - I'd be astonished if he really is on the list. It could just be down to poor/lazy journalism or a simple mistake. I think I'll wait until we've had official confirmation from the club on this one.
JohnnyB Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 And that means we can't give him a new contract and get rid of Vardy or Futacs? He's probably on too much and wouldn't take a drop Not at all - I'd be very happy if he did get a new contract.
fazzyfox Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Surprised at Drinkwater in that he is someone who has been selected so often, James & King is a fine pairing but there will be 46 games, injuries and suspensions, you need other options which leads me to think Pearson has at least one player in mind to bring in for that position. Either that or there's been a falling out. Never liked the guys name anyway, sounded like my Dads advice to me.
luke the fox Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Please make them leave!! Only one I would save is DD, we will need him next season. Plus if he gets back to the standard he was at the start of the season.
Kent Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Am I missing something or are we taking a news report as gospel?
Babylon Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Am I missing something or are we taking a news report as gospel? Some people are, others are just discussing the possibility. It's John Percy's paper, so who knows.
Kent Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Some people are, others are just discussing the possibility. It's John Percy's paper, so who knows. I mean it's a fairly safe bet that with at least 4/5 of the ones on that list we are actually trying to offload them, but I'm not too sure about discussing people like Drinkwater leaving on the back of that report alone.
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Not sure why so many want Drinkwater to go. He was up there with one of our best players prior to Christmas. There's no doubting he lost his way and wasnt great after Christmas but doesnt make him a bad player. People were raving about him when we signed him and he was one of the main reasons we accumalated so many points prior to Christmas. As people of said, NP may already have someone up his sleeve or Drinkwater himself may of moaned to NP because he wasnt playing (like Beckford) and now he's being moved on
TheUltimateWinner Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Does that mean Konchesky is on reduced wages then?
kingfox Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Perhaps someone saw on your twitter that you called Mark a naughty name Kingfox. You've certainly had a good luck down my timeline
Babylon Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 You've certainly had a good luck down my timeline We have spies who inform us of these things.
GingerrrFox Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 I believe quite a few Under 21s are gonna get a look in during Pre Season (Cain, Taft, Blyth, Hopper, Harry P) after the cracking season they've had.

inckley fox Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Waghorn's contract runs out this summer. There seems to be a lot of confusion as to whether he has a year left or not. Has this been cleared up yet?
GingerrrFox Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 The comeback king, Pierre Larrauri. I heard he had an affair with a Mexican Drug Baron's wife and is now in hiding back in Peru. But I'm not ITK so cannot confirm or deny these reports.
JohnnyB Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 There seems to be a lot of confusion as to whether he has a year left or not. Has this been cleared up yet? I don't know how accurate info is on this site ( http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/martyn-waghorn/aufeinenblick/spieler_61674.html ) but according to this - his contract runs out on 30th June 2013. I'm also sure that when we signed him in 2010 he was reported in the Mercury as signing a 3 year contract.
Ric Flair Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 you forgot the main man Joey Jones? I'm not sure he's as highly rated as you and I thought. He's not progressed that much in the last year. Has he been injured?
Babylon Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 There seems to be a lot of confusion as to whether he has a year left or not. Has this been cleared up yet? The Merc are constantly saying it ends this summer.
Ric Flair Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 The Merc are constantly saying it ends this summer. If we offer him a new deal, on less money than he's on and he rejects it will we still get a fee for him? If we don't offer him a new deal, do we still get a fee? It's a strange one as he's worth money but it's evident we don't want him.
Guest Col city fan Posted 29 May 2013 Posted 29 May 2013 Anyone happy to sell Drinkwater must be barmy. The lad's got lots more to give for many years to come. Again, stop blaming the players and start questioning some of the bizarre decisions and tactics of the beloved manager. SSL, Danns, Konch, Beckford, Vardy, Futacs, Wellens, Gally.... I'd get rid of em like a shot. But Drinkwater and Waggy would very much be part of a young and developing squad that I'd want to retain. The forum is incredibly fickle. It was only a couple of months in that James was being slated as pretty much useless and Knocky as the best player we'd had in years. How people's opinions of players change like the wind is beyond me. Drinkwater suffered, like Marshall, Wood and Knocky due to a crisis of confidence in the team and due to some bizarre tactical decisions by Pearson. Does this make them crap players? No, of course it doesn't. It makes me question the manager more.
