Swarles Barkley Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 I agree with needing 2 players in each position - signing both McArthur and Cambiasso would be excellent for the squad. But then we need 2 more defenders (preferably a LB and RB) and no more forwards. Totally agree. Quick Winger as well would be decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydos Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 Seems a knee jerk signing Based on what exactly? You're doing that thing where you post rubbish again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 6 CMs if Esteban comes in. Good luck keeping 6 happy nige, was hard enough with 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin JD Popley Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 As Ian Stringer said last night, we shouldn't assume signing one (if we do) should mean we don't sign the other midfield target. Let's be fair to our current compliment of central midfielders, they are very good, but both McArthur and Cambiasso especially, have top flight experience, both are extremely skilful players and therefore, would only but add extra class to our midfield. It doesn't also mean the end for anyone necessarily at our club, but, what I would say if both deals come off - Nigel Adkins may get the feeling to go all out to get Dean Hammond. We know he is interested, so, there may yet be a deal in that. Doubt Andy King is going to leave this side of January, if at all, in the near future so yes. We need a 25 man squad that is good enough to keep us up - both signings fulfil that criteria easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 Leicester's reponse to transfer speculation often reminds me of that Iraqi army guy who categorically denied the U.s army was anywhere near Baghdad as the camera was focussing on tanks that were rolling past in the background....

dmayne7 Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 McArthur can play Right-back as well. Think we could get both and have 6 until January when Hammond may leave. Then if Cambiasso is on a one year deal, we'll be back to 4 in a year so its not really out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin JD Popley Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 Have posted this in the Cambiasso thread too, but, an Italian reporter with 9k plus followers (including Oliver Kay from The Times) tweeted this not long ago... Nicolò Schira @NicoSchira · 24m Esteban #Cambiasso tomorrow should accept #Leicester's bid and to sign a contract until 2016. #LCFC Suggests what I said above - both may be coming in. However, if there is varying news on McArthur, perhaps that is Dave Whelan playing a curve ball. We all know how angry Nigel was last night re Transfers, irrespective of the result.

Finnaldo Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 That South American correspondent from Fox Sports with about 100k followers tweeted he had signed- that was about 3 weeks ago.

ScouseFox Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 we're gonna end up with a ridiculous amount of cms and centre forwards if everything that's a "done deal" is actually a done deal. surely one or two have to leave soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral of the story- don't believe a Twitter sources. Wait for the Official site/FB page/Twitter account to confirm. Oh yes, I agree Finnaldo. Just sharing what is out there, but, I think we still may end up getting both. Why we would spend so many man hours on someone who isn't interested in joining, is beyond me. He (Cambiasso) could have flatly refused the deal when it was broken initially, but didn't. I still think the more likely outcome is we get both McArthur and Cambiasso and Hammond may go to Reading if they pursue that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 Either we get one, or Hammond to Reading will happen, i'd presume. £7 mill is for me but a good addition nevertheless.\ Right back now please Nigel!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LCFC_World Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 Let's be honest, this would be a better signing than Cambiasso. He's much younger, still has about 7 years left in him, English is his first language too which means he can communicate better with the team, and he seems like more of a hard worker. This is the kind of player that we have needed, especially with the amount of injuries we have been picking up. And if Hammond feels that he needs a move away from the club then let him, despite him actually being quite good in the past few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted 27 August 2014 Share Posted 27 August 2014 This is a great signing. Quality player. Fingers crossed. James, Drinkwater, McArtur, Cambiasso and King is as much quality we've had in CM for a long, long time and is comparable to all but the best depth in the league.
