indierich06 Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 Wtf? How did HE imply it was a big, first-team signing? All he said was that it was the first signing for LCFC. Why should people assume it's for the first team? That's something YOU implied. NOWHERE did he state it was a first-team signing. So what if other radio stations do or don't do it? If Stringer is told to provide news, then that's what he'll do. It's certainly got people talking, hasn't it? Fine, if you think he didn't do it to try and deceive people, that's up to you.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 â€@StringerSport11s I believe Luke Hendrie #lcfc trialist. 18, free agent, centre mid, released by Man Utd. Could to go into development squad bloody hell, its not like NP to sign a Man Utd youth player . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuliasz Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 We'll be looking back on this thread in 5 years when Hendrie is declared the next Xavi and wondering why Stringer didn't make a bigger deal of the signing at the time. Or then again... At least it shows we still have decent links with Man Utd post-Fergie although I'm guessing when it comes to youth, most of the networking is done further down the hierarchy.

Deucalion Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 There might be a signing now Beckford has gone. Maybe it will be a case of one in, one out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 There might be a signing now Beckford has gone. Maybe it will be a case of one in, one out? probs about right we might be able to buy 2 Man Utd youths with Beckfords wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxoffderby Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 If it's the same Luke Hendrie, then I believe he is the son of John Hendrie (who played with Nigel at Middlesbrough?). In which, his dad, John, is the cousin of Lee Hendrie. What a lineage. Got to be a star then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Numan Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 There might be a signing now Beckford has gone. Maybe it will be a case of one in, one out? I'd say it's more likely that when Fox Toffee said we were just within FFP, that was taking Beckford's transfer into account and we'll need another one out before we can bring one in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 Fine, if you think he didn't do it to try and deceive people, that's up to you. 'Deceive; is quite strong.

HoustonFox Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 I think people are just taking a break from bashing Pearson to focus on Stringer for a bit. They forgot about him as we've not had commentary in a while... New thread topic with poll? "who do you hate more? Stringer, Pearson, Youngy or yourself (for hating people who don't really have that much REAL imapct in your life)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 To be fair, Stringer was right when he wrote that there would be news about a possible new signing. He didn't say anything about it being a big signing, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 It's some people's own fault for jumping the gun and thinking it was something big. Stringer may well have 'known what he is doing' but I personally think he gets so much unwarranted abuse and stick thrown towards him. It's the fans' own fault for jumping to conclusions.

Guest Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 There are some real nobheads on this forum. Stringer's job's to bring in listeners to Radio Leicester. It probably worked. As it happens it was also legitimate transfer information which is interesting in its own way, even if it isn't a multi-million pound signing. What on earth are people moaning about?

Shoe Seller Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 Is he related to Stephen Hendrie also (once a quite good / very good snooker player). Possibly world class actually. Stephen, not this guy. Back then anyway. I think. Memory does funny things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger63 Posted 17 July 2013 Share Posted 17 July 2013 Regarding Hobbs, I'm fairly certain that if we were more than 'slightly interested' he would have chosen us over Forest. Forest were the obvious second choice, like I said a month or so ago, he was having his house in Quorn done up. Probably, but as i`ve said in another thread, given that he is still contracted to Hull for another 12 months, Hull were never going to let him come here, without us letting them have Kasper on the cheap.
