DJ Barry Hammond Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 Think us as Leicester fans should all send Esteban a happy birthday message with the #sign4LCFC Happy birthday in Italian is "buon compleanno"
ktfox59 Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 Obviously, for sure I dont know. Im like most supporters of the club, just trying to piece together whats going on without reliable info. What is for sure, as previously put out there is that the Cambiasso team would have a shrewd idea and knowledge of who lcfc are. So the question remains. Why is this lingering on? If he has doubts that lcfc may not be the club for him. Move on!
ktfox59 Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 seenitall?im guessing not a compliment? But why do people have to follow like sheep to be fans of a club..
ktfox59 Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 How do you know this? just because the cambiasso plan has leaked don't mean there are not other irons in the fire..the less we ALL know the better..and because we have our two cm out injured and we are now playing what most ppl would say were fringe or not meeded players in that posotion
Guest Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 im guessing not a compliment? But why do people have to follow like sheep to be fans of a club. . Who's saying that? You just appear to be clutching at straws to justify your pessimism to be honest.
65RosesFox Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 and because we have our two cm out injured and we are now playing what most ppl would say were fringe or not meeded players in that posotion who coped fine and played well against the 5th best team in the Premier League
Ric Flair Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 One way or another I think this will be concluded this week. Now that there's real urgency we strengthen our midfield, we can't afford to wait around to see if he might, or might not decide to join us. I can see us press him for an answer by mid-week and if he's still not ready to do the john then we'll be telling him to bollocks and looking elsewhere. Although he doesn't have the same experience, Henri Lansbury would be quality for us or James Morrison from West Brom.
hackneyfox Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 That's a dumb opinion. We're a small top-flight club and he's been playing at Inter-frickin'-Milan for ten years. Sure he wants to come to England, but he's probably used to a certain pay grade and level of football. Maybe he doesn't want to spend the last few years of his career scraping points together? Whether he's doubtful or not, we'd be very lucky to have a midfielder of Cambiasso's experience and quality. If we signed players solely on the fact that they loved the club beforehand, we'd be lining Liam Moore up on his own. Spot on, if we want do well at this level we have to accept that a few players may only be in it for the money, it doesn't necessarily make them a poorer team player.
ktfox59 Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 Who's saying that? You just appear to be clutching at straws to justify your pessimism to be honest.pessimism? Not at all. Maybe a tad of realism. We have all been led along for 11 days now. Just my thought it that things may be a little different than what we are led to believe. Thats all.
ktfox59 Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 hmm- and this is based on nothing but supposition We sign 3 out of contract players. First time we go for the big one, they get up to 10m for what was a championship striker. Next we offer 6.5m for another, told that they want 10m. We are led to believe to bid that amount to be tpld its now 12m. Its bn 11 days since Cambiasso story broke. Still umming and arring What do you think?
Trav Le Bleu Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 http://www.elfootbalioITK.es from google translate... Excited very news to be the signing grand football wizard Esteban Cambiasso to city of unknown Leicester. Legendary dog slayer, Nigel Sexing Pearson, previously angered news was told to head of balloon allowing coach of Park Ranger Queens to be interesting and thieving no good steal maybe player. However Cambiasso happy take to team of blues, say he is impressed, like very much Pearson's daughter (other foreign goalman, genius Chris Wood, recommend). Understanding now will be big revelation Esteban Cambiasso replace Andy who is King and take shirt number Leicester Legend, Nicholas Plateneur. Fans worship of Foxes now joyful and say, "hey now, that it, we can shut thread now!"
CountesthorpeFox Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 It's easier for an older player to carry on in a good team, you take Giggs and put him in a relegation threatened team I'm not sure he'd have lasted as long as he did. Having said that, there is certainly no reason he couldn't perform at the age his is in our team, mainly down to the position he plays, I don't think we'd expect him to be box to box, just to sit and protect. Yes because all those extra games you play by progressing in various competitions, including against the best teams in Europe, are a walk in the park.

Still umming and arring What do you think? we can hardly be faulted for the overheated market in players . Ulloa was a stretch but looks no less value for money than McCormack at 11 mill or Long at £12 mill (Long has only ever scored prolifically at championship level so the comparison is valid) . the whole Deeney saga appears to be a crock and who knows what to believe save that a £6.5 mill bid appears to have gone in and we show no sign of paying anything in excess of that at the moment . As regards cambiasso NP has stated that "you will need to be patient with that " - doesn't sound like the sort of indulgent comment he would make if the transfer was hamstrung by the club dicking about increasing the offer by £50 every couple of days or persisting with negotiations with a transfer target whose financial demands cannot be met .

EGBFitness Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 Mate, you're having a mare. You've openly admitted you basically don't know that much about football, let alone him as a player all in one comment there. Probably just give it up now. How's that having a mare!? People are suggesting about age but I was saying the reason I don't want cambiasso here is because I feel he is here for the wage and his not the player he was maybe 10 years ago, his into his 30's now and being released by Inter surely shows his not the player he used to be! Yaya Toure is the best midfielder in Prem IMO, his 31! Cambiasso is 34, 3 years older but he is nowhere near the quality of Yaya, hence why I said I thought he retired years ago! Let's face it, if he wasn't on a free, we wouldn't even be interested in him!

EGBFitness Posted 18 August 2014 Posted 18 August 2014 You shouldn't forget, a signing like Cambiasso could have a lot of benefit off the pitch as on it. Think of the wisdom and experience he can impart to our current players both in matches and training. Think of the buzz it will give to the squad knowing a well known Champions League winner wanted to join the side. It also helps broaden Leicester's appeal to other potential transfer targets - players are very fickle, but if they can see a club like ours pulling of a signing of Cambiasso undoubted pedigree they will sit up and take notice. Fans wise - we'll ultimately go barmy if the signing is confirmed because regardless of whatever happens on the pitch, this is Esteban Cambiasso - could we have dreamt of signing this guy when we touring League One not so long ago? No way, but now we can (even if it doesn't happen, we know we've tried)! For Leicester there's a lot of pluses to this deal (those mentioned above and the fact its a position we could do with filling right now) and they far outway the negatives, so lets go with this. I'm not suprised Esteban is taking his time in a way, this is potential a big final move so it has to feel right - he may be a little disappointed we're the only club to show real interest (Spurs were rummoured in May), but if we keep chipping away at this I think we can get him. Yeah I totally understand the buzz it would give and maybe the marketing/revenue we could get having a household name at the club. But would we only be signing this player as a marketing strategy? I think most players would come to a club nowadays depending on the money they offered rather than the players already there, look back at the Sven days. He could bring something to the squad (hopefully) but I think people are getting a little carried away and thinking were signing Cambiasso still in his prime. I don't want him to come in and upset the harmony of the squad as feel we have a good balance within the team with a desire to play for each other, could his bigger ego and bigger wage upset this? what a bizarre comparison How?

He was released by Milan but that means he's not good enough now? Pretty sure I recall him bossing Juve and Italy's midfields since then. You've admitted to not watching him etc so your point about him being past it is pretty stupid imo. There doesn't even appear to be much negative stuff written about him either in the media or by fans so I've no idea what you're basing it on other than his age and that fact that you don't have an extensive knowledge of football abroad/internationally.

I am sure you mean "he's ( he is ) not the player he was", and "he's into his thirties", what's all this "his" business. "His" is the term used when something belongs to someone eg: his football, or his opinion. Why do I have to unravel and translate some of the rubbish on here just to try and understand what should be english.

I suggested not knowing much about cambiasso in last 5 years as thought he'd retired, meaning shows how much his done in that time! Seems like everyone is jumping on the Cambiasso bandwagon just because his on the free and was a household name. I just don't think he'd be worth taking a chance on but what do I know?
