rodders0223 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Dave Nugent. Wiley old **** who has been there and done it. More than happy to be a squad player as proven. Works his nuts off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Jordan Cousins for Charlton ? Good talent in an otherwise poor team. Would get him for handy money too with them going down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only real other options are far east/china/america and it would seem that the states would be his prefered choice but 35 year old defenders don't get paid a lot in the MLS (Cole is on about 4 grand per week).

Popular Post Zatman Posted May 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2016 Quote “Before I was ill I knew John only from shaking hands before kick-off in matches, and as a fierce competitor. “We had also met and talked at the meetings the Premier League hold for captains before the start of each season. “But from the moment the news came out about my illness he was one of the first to get in touch and he has carried on being supportive ever since. He doesn’t always have an easy time with the fans, but I have seen a very different man to that image. “He has gone out of his way to encourage me at different times – always sending messages and texts while I was going through treatment, even though sometimes it might have been a month before I felt strong enough to return them. “When I was planning this game he was the first to sign up. I rang and asked if he could take part and he just said: ‘Tell me when and I’ll be there. Who wouldn’t want to play in the atmosphere of a sold-out Celtic Park?’” Terry is really not as bad as people make out 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the pitch he is though. And not in a combative, adding steel to the team, kind of way. In a dirty, abusing the ref, cheating, kind of way.

Czechlad Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I would take Terry in a heart beat, but obviously that would never happen. He can get a great payday elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Should Leicester have big money to spend now and want to attract some better players, we could look at one or two buys/loans from them? Thinking along the lines of Ulloa, Dyer, Inler, Simpson etc. Also watching MOTD last night Bournemouth have some good forwards at their club, wonder if we could attract one from them (ie King, Wilson)? Would have thought Afobe, Grabban and Iturbe are first choice. They also have Gradel behind them. Could be worth a look but seeing Gayle at Palace yesterday, he would be great playing off Gestede surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 there was a report on the radio the other day stating that leicester wont be changing their first team much as they dont want to rock the ship so to speak. were as we on the other hand need to rock the ship so much that the rats fall over board and drown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my post again! I suggested loans as well as transfers? Inler has hardly played a game. I also said who i thought would be first choice at Bournemouth next season, meaning we may get a possible loan from there as they appear to be well stocked.

HanoiVillan Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) There's no chance of loaning any of them either, I'm sorry to say. Leicester have just won the Premier League, with a small squad. They aren't going to want to let many players go, either temporarily or permanently, and even if they do, those who have played many games this season will have far better offers than going to a Championship club. Inler might not have played very much, but he has a big reputation throughout Europe and in no way needs to be playing second division football. He could move to a top team in Serie A without difficulty. I doubt we'll be picking up any loans from Bournemouth either, and certainly not Callum Wilson who is first choice when fit. Grabban has achieved nothing there and probably genuinely isn't good enough for the Premier League, so that's why I allow he's an outside possibility. Basically, I just think you're going to be very disappointed when you see the calibre of player we're actually able to attract.

However, and perhaps I am clutching to the past calibre of player we used to attract and the fact of an impending takeover slightly. If a takeover happens and with the right manager in place, surely we can be the big fish in a small pond in the Championship? After all some of the players within the clubs I have mentioned have come from lower divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
