SuperSAINT Posted 18 May, 2012 Share Posted 18 May, 2012 Leicester have paid £1m up front, and 700k on future bits and bobs. But it's insane either way you look at it, We got sharp for Less.... I think we were interested, but obviously they flew past our ''fair price''... I'd love to know what Nicola valued him at. At 25, it's quite late to be breaking into the professional game. Fair play to him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints foreva Posted 18 May, 2012 Share Posted 18 May, 2012 Leicester have signed Jamie Vardy for a fee rising to 1.7m, that is INSANE for a non-league player... More than we paid for Lambert. Leicester will fail again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingeletiss Posted 18 May, 2012 Share Posted 18 May, 2012 http://www.wba.co.uk/page/News/0,,10366~2774175,00.html Have their release list out. Nicky Shorey would be good as cover for Fox as I think Harding will be found out in the premier league. Also allowing Shaw to be eased in as and when practical. Dare I suggest, that instead of posters keep going on about 'back up' players, that we look for better than we already have, then the likes of Fox could be the back up players, just a thought.

AMEN! It's getting the balance right about players that will genuinely improve us, not disrupt the balance of the squad and are realistic targets. Rodriguez, Trippier, Trotter all fit that bill as you'd think they'd all be pushing for a starting birth. I think we'll have a better idea of our targetted areas and match those to these names flying around once the retained list is published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest Ive ever been to being ITK is Paul Scharner and even with that, I have no idea if we reached out to him or his agent has has approached us.(Which they all do and to every club, so it wouldnt mean much, if it was that way round).

Adkins sees him as giving perfect balance on the right for Lallana. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ OH MY GOD.!! Please let this be true. Source.? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ It would all depend on his wages..if this rumour is true of course. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now this is one Saints rumour which seems believable! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ In my opinion Adam Johnson is one of the most underrated premier league players, City could and should easily be able to get £20+ million if they decide to sell him. And for his sake I hope he would go to a bigger club than Southampton.. It's a joke how he's not in the England squad really ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I am a saints fan but a lot of relations from manchester and they say there is some weight in this story and there is strong rumours coming out of the etihad but talking 6.5 million coyr ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Usually this guy would be slated but alot of people seem to believe him? I cant see us getting him at all to be honest as he should at minimum be playing for a team in european competitions. Just to get him on a loan deal would be a miracle but he certainly would be a great signing. An excellent player who in my opinion should be in the England 23 man squad.

VectisSaint Posted 18 May, 2012 Share Posted 18 May, 2012 Leicester have signed Jamie Vardy for a fee rising to 1.7m, that is INSANE for a non-league player... Odd really, given that there were stories around in January that we had done a deal to take him at the end of the season for about the same amount. Maybe it was felt that step up to the PL was a bit too much. Still he will get good backing with the other Nigel at Leicester, looks like NP is planning to build a youthful team to fight for promotion next season, will probably succeed where SGE failed dramatically, good coach who knows how to get the best out of young players - Leicester would probably have gone up if they hadn't ****ed up by replacing NP with the Swedish knob-head.

City are full of players like that look at Tevez and Ballotelli for example. NA would be able to get him under control and if he was playing regularly im sure he would buck his ideas up. If there is even the slightest possibility of getting him we should be doing everything in our power to sign him. If the wages were an issue maybe a seasons loan with an option to buy next year (assuming we retain our PL status) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
