MikeyT Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Sky Sports Transfer Centre: 7:44 Leicester City are reportedly keen on former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda. The 34-year-old currently plays for Trabzonspor in Turkey and the Foxes are understood to believe that his experience would be an asset on their return to the top fligh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artursteppe Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Sounds like a load of bull to me BUT wasn't he scouted by Steve Walsh for Chelsea when he was there so I suppose there's at least a tedious link Tenuous maybe, but tedious sounds a bit mundane and boring.

artursteppe Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Just love all the children on this site saying 34 is past it just because it's about 20 years older than them. Wouldn't want Didier Drogba either 'cos he is really old and can hardly walk he's that old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyT Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Just love all the children on this site saying 34 is past it just because it's about 20 years older than them. I'm 34 and I think signing a 34 year old winger isn't the greatest idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Be kinda weird after we refused to give Lloyd Dyer a contract that would take him to the same age if we needed a winger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutelegend Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 It also gets a one sentence mention in the times. No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutelegend Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 I think we should sign that pacey winger who ripped up the championship last season. Think he now plays for Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJB-fox Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Be kinda weird after we refused to give Lloyd Dyer a contract that would take him to the same age if we needed a winger? Bit different because if Lloyd's legs suddenly went next year he'd be utterly useless. Malouda however has the talent to make do without the raw pace he had when he was younger. Plus, he has a lot more experience and a generally higher calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Be kinda weird after we refused to give Lloyd Dyer a contract that would take him to the same age if we needed a winger? Malouda would only be on a years contract though, Lloyd wanted three. It's more of a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Malouda still has a year left in Turkey, do Trabonspur have financial problems as I can't see why else they'd be getting rid of him? He's reportedly on £50,000 a week there, I could see us having to whiff up a big signing on fee and then a lower basic salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJS84 Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 I think it would be a good signing for 12 months, seems to be in keeping with this philosophy we have of having experience of the current situation running through the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 He played at left back for Chelsea and Lyon a few times, even played there for Chelsea against Inter Milan. (Not saying we're getting him for that position) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCCFox96 Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 If he's still contracted to his Turkish club do we really want to be paying what is likely to be a decent sized fee for a, while undoubtedly talented player, 34 year old winger who we are likely to get a year out of. It would probably be preferable to look for someone who is between 28-31 whom we can get a few years out of if that player is available. I'd still take Malouda based on his ability though.

Babylon Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 It would probably be preferable to look for someone who is between 28-31 whom we can get a few years out of if that player is available. They would want to be playing, would want a three year contract etc. We already have three potentially very good wingers, makes sense to me to get someone of decent quality on a short term contract to fill a gap for a season.

Probably on a big wage there so they'll let him leave cheaply id imagine, plus his age will reduce any fee really. Assuming the reason he wants to leave is because he wants one last shot at the prem etc he'll take a pay cut here rather than taking a paycut there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 How many champions league winners have we had play for us? Mancini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65RosesFox Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 We're linked with a Player with bags of Premier League experience and has a few winners medals, but people are now moaning he is too old at 34. What do people expect, Pearson to be signing players in their prime so around 25-28 with good Premier League experience who are on around £25k-£40k a week and will cost no more than £10m. If he is linked, he would be a good asset and would help the likes of Mahrez & Knockaert. If he is available for the right price and salary then I'd be happy with the signing.

Captain... Posted 22 July 2014 Share Posted 22 July 2014 Doesn't seem like a Pearson player, had a bit of attitude if I remember. Would be surprised if this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
