Are they buying a new squad all together or what there should be a section on transfer rumours just 4 leicester alone
Yes, Mandaric has pumped in the money and MA has been spending. Can see them at either end of the table this year, it will work well and they will challenge or nothing gels and they will struggle.
Leicester will definitely be the team to watch next season, with 11 signings already, their pre-season form is 2 wins from 2, (albeit against nothing local sides) Their fans are very loyal too, Martin Allen seems to have his head screwed on, I'd imagine them to be in the top 2 by the end of this season, Play-Offs at least.
These are the signings that they have made: Stephen Clemence- Good at this level Radostin Kishishev- Good at this level Carl Cort- Injury Prone Shaun Newton- Decent Champ. player Bruno N'Gotty- Old but still decent at this level Sergio Hellings- Who? Hossein Kaebi- Who? Jimmy Nielsen- Who?
You forgot: James Chambers - How could you! Ricky Sappleton - Who? Jonathan Hayes - Who? Hossein Kaebi is an Iranian international (He looks really small too!)
I believe Neilson is meant to be a class keepr but is/was a gambling addict from Denmark. They have cerainly made some excellent signings, not too sure on Shaun Newton (likes the old columbian marching powder doesn't he?) but Chambers, Clemance et al will all improve the team and they have Matt Fryat and Ian Hume up front who are both good young strikers. I think they will definately have a bet on from me to do well this season. Mandaric certainly backs his managers with money and actually seems to be a chairman who knows a fair bit about football for once.
Since MA took over, he wants to put together his own squad. To be honest he is doing a very good job of putting that good squad together.
Similar things said when Gianluca was in charge of us and seemed to be making lots of decent signings . . . . which he did to be fair.
Vega Issa Blondeau I don't think they were good signings! Just a bunch of over the hill guys hoping for one more pay-day.
Agreed. As I said in another thread none of their signings would get in our team, except for maybe Campbell with Chambers on the bench. I would have our squad over theirs any day.
I knew Vega and Blondeau were pretty poor players to be honest and getting on a bit. Didn't really know much about Issa (and I still don't such was his lack of inpression made here!) Thought Hughes and Glass would do better than they did apart from get injured a fair bit. Anyway that is long ago... Time to move on as they say!
I doubt they will do anything. It takes more than a season to gel a new manager with an entirely new squad. Especially when that squad has no stand out players except one.
Were you not pleased when you heard Stephen Glass and Stephen hughes had signed? Galli was also a very good player despite his age.
I agree on that last point as I said earlier that at the time my thoughts were the two Stephen's were going to be decent for us.
