Corky Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 Time and time again people are underwhelmed with Nigel's signings and time and time again they seem to prove people wrong. This is why I've stopped getting worked up about signing. For the first time in my life I trust our management team 100% in all aspects of their work. I enjoyed the O'Neil years but I was a young lad and didn't really know much beyond what went on on the pitch. Nigel and his staff seem to do some top, top work off the pitch with their scouting, their coaching and with the atmosphere in the squad. Long may it continue. The issue I had was with the price tag, and the fact that players have not lived up to the tag of record signing in the past. But he's started incredibly well and doesn't seem pressured at all.

But he's started incredibly well and doesn't seem pressured at all. The thing with him is, I saw him play for Brighton, a few times, he looked alright but not someone who's capable of scoring a goal per game in League One never mind the Premier League. The fact that the club has people who can see through all that, and see a player that fits the way we play who can have a greater impact when used in a different league or system is amazing, we've got some fantastic scouts at the club.

Nothing wrong with commenting if a player is underwhelming or not quite what you thought he would be.As long as the player is not slated and not given a chance, but nothing to get worked up by, if people are a little underwhelmed at times with players. I always hoped the lad would not choke with the price tag, and it's a bit early to say he's one of our greats, but how he's started if he can maintain this level, he could be up there with some of the greats of the club, he's is fastly becoming a cult hero for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisp monster Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 I should know better than to question Pearson's judgement really shouldn't I. I am astonished at the impact he is having, and this is against the better sides in the league. Me too - I would have happily got rid of Konch in the summer and couldn't believe we extended his contract. How wrong I was - he's been superb and I loved his kissing the camera on MOTD2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man's stamina is unreal, he's still rushing forward well into injury time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artursteppe Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 All this talk about when some Leicester players will get an England call up. I can't wait for Leonardo to set up Messi,( for Argentina of course ), and for Esteban to get another call up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's meant with the sarcastic undertone I'm reading it with. Di Santo was cut in form the squad in the Prelim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 No, just dropped. I'm fairly sure Sabella refuses to pick Tevez, no matter what - having been dropped 3 years ago when he took over and not even being considered since isn't just dropped, it's frozen out and excluded from the national team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest seanfox778 Posted 22 September 2014 Share Posted 22 September 2014 Nigel and the staff must install a huge amount of confidence in all the squad to get them at their best, I just can't imagine Ulloa having the same impact if he'd signed for Burnley or Palace for example. I think the players must love playing for the management team because they all seem to get on so well, like a family. We are so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
