VLC86 Posted 14 July 2013 Posted 14 July 2013 The thing that frustrates me more than anything with Drinkwater is how predictable he is. The amount of times he would take to long on the ball and then make a pass to the player who is surrounded really grated on me. I will probably get laughed at but when Wellens was pulling the strings 2/3 seasons ago he looked a class above him. DD is a decent all round player but others in the squad are as well but have outstanding attributes and of he's not willing to wait for his chance in the team he needs to be moved on
Raw Dykes Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 He is hard working but I wouldn't class him as a tough tackler and that is how I would define industrious so yep, in my opinion that statement is rubbish Your opinion is based on rubbish - that's not what industrious means. Industrious just means hard working. Nothing to do with tackling. You'd still be industious if you just ran around at full pelt without ever putting a single tackle in.
jock2612 Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 I think we have to accept the fact that DD form did dip badly almost at the same time as the team and lets face it King and James did nothing to halt the slide 3 wins form 17 is relagation form.Is it possible that DD in form is more important to us than we think?

I do prefer King and James though, even in our poor run those two shone for me
yorkie1999 Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 Possibly. At the very least he's a good squad player! I do prefer King and James though, even in our poor run those two shone for me But our poor run started when king came back into the side!
Adster Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 But our poor run started when king came back into the side! Our poor run started when Nige put out a sh*t team against Huddersfield in the cup.
SmithyFox12 Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 Drinkwater's better than Wellens, put it that way.

MikeyT Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 LCFC World â€@LCFCWorld7m Rumour: #lcfc looking at Celtic defender Kelvin Wilson in a £1.4 million deal
Simo86 Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 “@LCFCWorld: Rumour that Chris Baird is training with Leicester #LCFC†He'd be a handy addition if true. Pretty versatile from what I've seen of him
kingfox Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 LCFC World just went on this tweet. UEFA Agent â€@AgentUEFA1h Chris Baird is training with Leicester #LCFC They have posted shit before, but if he is training with us, surely he would be in Austria.
kingfox Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 UEFA Agent People jumped on the bandwagon, just because LCFC World tweeted it. And of course LCFC World didn't say he got the rumour off one of the shittest "ITK's"
Mark_w Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 Interesting fact, the Twitter ITKs have a success rate of 0% where Leicester are concerned this season. SO STOP LISTENING TO THEM.
kingfox Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 Interesting fact, the Twitter ITKs have a success rate of 0% where Leicester are concerned this season. SO STOP LISTENING TO THEM. LCFC World's fault.
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 Interesting fact, the Twitter ITKs have a success rate of 0% where Leicester are concerned this season. SO STOP LISTENING TO THEM. You find that interesting ? You need to get a life Mark
deep blue Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 That we can't spend. We have no money to spend till we ship out four or five players. So twats on twitter link us to an 800k purchase lol What if we finally got rid of Beckford this week. Would that release enough funds? The other side of the rumour is that we are in competition with Fulham. While you'd think we couldn't compete with a Prem side, we allegedly beat Newcastle to Knockaert, didn't we? (There is the added "London attraction", though, this time.)
TJB-fox Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 A few non-official LCFC twitter accounts (View from the stands etc) claim Chris Baird is training with us, with a view to a permanent move
Fox92 Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 He's an alright player, but nothing special. That's ok for the Championship, and it's all it takes to get out of the division - ask Palace, Blackpool, Reading etc
Happy Fox Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 Is an experienced prem player, would take him definitely.
Manwell Pablo Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 Yeah he's versatile, would be decent across the defense at this level, experienced. Good signing assuming he's still got the drive and the legs. As it's been said not a world beater but would be good for us on a one or two year.
AKCJ Posted 15 July 2013 Posted 15 July 2013 "Although typically a centre-back, and often surplus to requirements behind the rarely injured pairing of Aaron Hughes and Brede Hangeland, manager Roy Hodgson brought out a versatility in Baird which made him indispensable for long periods at Fulham, where first he filled in very successfully at right-back when John Paintsil was injured, and then due to the injuries to Dickson Etuhu and Danny Murphy he was often used in a central midfield role during the 2009–10 season, returning to right-back when they regained fitness. His success at right-back also earned him a start in the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final against Atlético Madrid ahead of the fit-again Paintsil." Thats from Wikipedia.
