Aus Fox Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Genuine q: Have you seen any player go on to be really good somewhere else after Pearson has shown them the door here? I haven't Max Gradel did alright for himself
Dickov22 Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Ben Marshall's decent at Blackburn isn't he Absolutely. But has he got better since leaving? No Max Gradel did alright for himself Really?? For a prolonged period of time. I wouldn't say it was a mistake letting him go
DB11 Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Genuine q: Have you seen any player go on to be really good somewhere else after Pearson has shown them the door here? I haven't Max Gradel, Ben Marshall, Kermorgant instantly come to mind as having a better career elsewhere than they did at Leicester. Really good is subjective, but performed better than at LCFC for sure.
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Did McCauley leave under Pearson's management?
LCFC FOX Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 How can you say Ben Marhsall had a better career at Blackburn? He looked quality in some games for us scoring screamers.
5waller5 Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Genuine q: Have you seen any player go on to be really good somewhere else after Pearson has shown them the door here? I haven't It's a good question .... And I'd not count Ben Marshall, but would suggest Max Gradel and Kermogant ..... With YK he could go on to become a world beater and I wouldn't have a problem with hi m being sold as I think his future at LCFC was just untenable. So I take the point that he usually doesn't sell a good player ..... And maybe I see things in Wood that others don't .... But genuinely I think he looks a really decent player and at his age could go on to be a decent 20+ goals a season striker, given the chance.

Really good is subjective, but performed better than at LCFC for sure. but the first 2 had attitude issues and haven't really torn up any trees long term since and the latter.. well he couldn't walk down a street anywhere near Leicester without someone shouting 'Why the Fvck did you have to lob it' and had to move on before any more hilarious Youtube songs were created
tylesta Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 Genuine q: Have you seen any player go on to be really good somewhere else after Pearson has shown them the door here? I haven't kermogant
tylesta Posted 5 January 2015 Posted 5 January 2015 i liked woods attitude earlier in the season wanting to fight for a place, but with the signing/signings coming up top he has to go has he is last in the pecking order. i wish him well
Dickov22 Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 I'd agree with Kermogant, none of the others though.
Deucalion Posted 6 January 2015 Posted 6 January 2015 Two bids in. One from a club mentioned originally and another from a club not yet mentioned. Permanent move in the offing.

People have being saying that about Wood for years - there's a reason he's ended up going on loan to so many clubs in the Championship - that's his level.
5waller5 Posted 7 January 2015 Posted 7 January 2015 People have being saying that about Wood for years - there's a reason he's ended up going on loan to so many clubs in the Championship - that's his level. He's only 22?? I think if he finds somewhere that will stick with him and give him a run in the side then he'll prove to be a decent player .... Maybe good enough for the PL maybe not, but certainly a decent upper half Championship player right now and with loads of time to improve.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 7 January 2015 Posted 7 January 2015 i liked woods attitude earlier in the season wanting to fight for a place... Hmmmm.
Dan Posted 7 January 2015 Posted 7 January 2015 I'd agree with Kermorgant but lets be honest there was absolutely no way he was forcing his way back in here. As someone else correctly pointed out it actually wasn't Pearson who got rid of him either.
MC Prussian Posted 7 January 2015 Posted 7 January 2015 With rumours of both Kramaric and Defore signing, Wood has obviously fallen down the pecking order (wouldn't surprise me if Nugent was up next for a loan move). I do hope we keep the Kiwi, he's shown he can score some real beauties, has a decent touch. If only he'd work more on his overall play (and his heading, as previously mentioned - for a lad that tall, he shies away from headers too often).
phillo Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Looks like we've put 5 million price tag according to the sun
Bamba's Babes Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Looks like we've put 5 million price tag according to the sun He's staying then...
bald reynard Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Looks like we've put 5 million price tag according to the sun That's a big jump from the £1.5m - £2m we were going to sell him to Wolves for, only 4 months ago (and he hasn't scored or done anything to deserve the increased value since then !).
surrifox Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 I think this is known in the building trade as a "f*** off price"
Deucalion Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Bids in from Reading and Wolves. ( I doubt of £5 million) He wants to go.
Stevosevic Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 He needs to go for his sake - a really nice bloke. All the best Chris.
ADK Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 I like Wood and agree that it's best for him to be playing somewhere. I don't see why it needs to be permanent though.
