SecretPro Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Interview on the Radio Leicester phone in tonight has the man himself saying he's put it to bed, he's no longer thinking about a move to leicester and that all he cared about is winning the asia cup.
Richmondfox Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 That doesn't mean that his agent and his club haven't put it to rest. Sounds like he's being professional, much like Pearson when he says that he never speaks about other clubs players.
MC Prussian Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 I told you he wanted a SONG! Rigobert to the rescue!
sphericalfox Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Rigobert to the rescue! What animal does he eat?

MC Prussian Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 What animal does he eat? Lions for breakfast.
sphericalfox Posted 12 January 2015 Posted 12 January 2015 Rigobert to the rescue! He looks just like his badge.
Thefoxman Posted 13 January 2015 Posted 13 January 2015 LEICESTER BID REJECTED FSV Mainz 05 general manager Christian Heidel has explained why the Bundesliga side turned down a lucrative offer from Leicester City for Japan international Shinji Okazaki. It had been reported the Foxes were interested in signing Okazaki, whose contract expires in June 2016, before opting to pursue HNK Rijeka striker Andrej Kramaric. In an interview with German daily BILD, Heidel claimed Nigel Pearson’s side offered €10million for the 28-year-old but they were forced to reject the deal because they would have been unable to find a suitable replacement. "It's simply a too big of a risk in the current situation,” he said. “I wouldn’t be able to sign to sign a striker Mainz of equal importance or goalscoring as Shinji Okazaki during the current transfer window. That's a fact!"

WillyP Posted 13 January 2015 Posted 13 January 2015 Bollocks, send them Wood. Swap deal sounds good to me! I'm sure Wood would bang them in in the Bundesliga
Bamba's Babes Posted 13 January 2015 Posted 13 January 2015 Mixed feeling on this one. Looks unlikely to happen. Not a case of money but more a case of they'd be ducked without him. Danny Ings type situation.
sphericalfox Posted 13 January 2015 Posted 13 January 2015 Fairly certain, that someone is playing hardball in this equation. I wonder if we are to up the bid, that we need to offload. If Mainz sell, they are going to want to play publicly that they have refused as it would pish off their fans. With enough money they should be able to bring in someone, perhaps not of his calibre, but they'll make a hefty profit. Two things might encourage Shinji. A fat wage, and the fans wanting him here. I don't feel there's as much excitement about this potential deal. Get Yuki on the blower and get him to convince him Nige!
Stevosevic Posted 13 January 2015 Posted 13 January 2015 Skysports news said that we are in talks with the club and personal terms are not an issue. Club looking for a bit more cash.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 13 January 2015 Posted 13 January 2015 Oh Lord, what will become of this situation?
MPH Posted 13 January 2015 Posted 13 January 2015 Oh Lord, what will become of this situation? Japanese invasion!
fuchsntf Posted 13 January 2015 Posted 13 January 2015 I live near Mainz and go there sometimes to watch them (though I support Dortmund). Mainz are not shouting this move around the grapevines, or discussing it as though its something high on their priorities. Some papers had mentioned it, but now low key even vanished.

Foxeslaw so to speak..!!!EVEN this evening papers and club Mainz05 own site has below 30% of any further movement on this move. plus player has been quoted, is not interested in anything, untiil he returns later from representing Japan in Australia, in the AFC Asian cup, end of January. Football though is full of suprises..innit.

Hack Posted 16 January 2015 Posted 16 January 2015 Japan playing Iraq in the Asian cup. Lot's of mentions about Okazaki and the 8 mil bid from City being turned down. Saying he has been a star in Germany. Expecting an improved offer was suggested.
