StanSP Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Don't think Pearson will strengthen. He would have done it by now and wouldn't have left it this late. Plus, he likes the smaller squads and I believe in his 'motto' in that he'll only strengthen if he really needs to and if it is right for the squad, and not just for the sake of it.
coatsworthstache Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 I think wes hoolahan is a good player and not getting a look in at Norwich. I thought he had a long term injury, but then thought he was involved with Ireland recently? Anyone any thoughts? Apparently that midget tw@ at forest wants dorrans. That would be a good signing for a champ club.
LCFC FOX Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 @JasonBourne1986: Nigel Pearson has told BBC Radio Leicester he's not expecting any loan activity, in or out, ahead of the window closing later. #lcfc
Happy Fox Posted 28 November 2013 Author Posted 28 November 2013 Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has said it is highly unlikely there will be any movement in or out of the club before the loan window shuts today. Pearson said he has not been tempted to delve into the loan window before the deadline, despite injuries to Ritchie De Laet, Sean St Ledger and young striker Tom Hopper. “I don’t envisage anything happening today,†said Pearson. “It would have to be something drastic for anything to happen. “As always, we don’t stop or intensify how we look for players just because of windows shutting or not. “The players have to be the right players if we are going to do anything, but I don’t envisage anything happening today.†Pearson confirmed full-back Ritchie De Laet is back in training after his shin injury, but will not be available for Saturday’s visit of Millwall. Sean St Ledger’s groin injury is not as serious as feared but he will also be missing for a few weeks, while Pearson confirmed young striker Tom Hopper had picked up a stress fracture of the leg.
Bilsthorpe Blue Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 What's anyones thoughts about getting Kevin Phillips in the January transfer window? He wouldnt/couldnt expect to play full 90 mins but would be ideal to bring on with 20 mins or so left if we are chasing a game He certainly knows where the back of the net is and would be an asset with his knowledge/experience
MPH Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 I'm all for keeping a winning team but there is nothing wrong with a couple of loan signings desperate for games and the chance to impress to keep the first 11 on their toes... Good cover for injuries too- they'd fit right in too and wouldn't have to be thrown in if we got them in now.. better cohesion.
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Think we'll buy a couple of permanents in January instead tbh
Happy Fox Posted 29 November 2013 Author Posted 29 November 2013 http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Don-t-hold-breath-new-City-signings/story-20239059-detail/story.html Pearson said he was satisfied with the make-up of his squad, which has produced City's best-ever start to a league campaign. "So far, the squad has equipped themselves very well," said Pearson. "We are always looking to see if we can improve the squad, but then it is the question of whether we have the capability to do that on the financial side. "There are implications with finances this season and people are becoming increasingly aware of FFP. It is always a juggling act. "People always seem to ask about whatever window we are in, or one that is coming soon. "As always, we don't stop or intensify how we look for players just because of windows shutting or not. "The players have to be the right players, if we are going to do anything. "Yes, we will be keeping an eye open for any potential improvements, but I wouldn't hold your breath."
cityfanlee23 Posted 29 November 2013 Posted 29 November 2013 Sounds Like typical NP to me, We could easily improve, and there are a few players knocking around who could do a job for us, that a not getting a look in at their respective clubs, I do appreciate Nigels philosophy though, not going in bidding for anyone with anyone 2 feet and a nice name, Atleast we will never get into financial trouble due to the manager! He never gives anything away so I wouldnt take too much notice to this, He said the same thing the day before Hammond signed I think we have areas that could be strengthened, even with a loan or two
