Fryatt deal sealed - Fee revealed
By WS10 - January 8 2006

The transfer of Matty Fryatt to Championship side Leicester City has been finalized as both parties have agreed terms.

Saturday evenings Express and Star carried a picture of him leaving the Bescot with a black bag full of his belongings. Then, this mornings Sunday Mercury confirmed that the deal - now known to be worth an initial £350,000 has been completed.

News of the "additional fees" haven't yet filtered through, but fans have been assured that the eventual Sum will be more than a match for Fee's that have been banded about for other forwards such as Nathan Tyson and Izale McLeod.

Some fans are bound to ask how an England U19 International, named as one of UEFA's "10 stars to watch for future" is being allowed to leave for a fee that back in the summer would have been considered derisory. Read what UEFA had to say about Matty back in the Summer

News in the summer led most fans to believe that Matty wouldn't leave the Club unless someone paid a fee within the region of £1m for his services - then again, for all we know, this fee could still reach that level.

As to whether this is a good deal for the Saddlers, news of the potential value of this fee will help fans make up their minds.

Sounds like a bargain then. Maybe some good buisness by CL:icon_bigg

I'm very pleased with this signing, as I could just see us missing out on him and him going on and scoring the number of goals that Ashton does for example.

But I hope he's not seen as the 'solution'. I still think we urgently need an experience head alongside him and Hume.

A good deal, apart from the fact hes injured and cant play for a few weeks. Still think we might get an older head on loan

The main thing is that its done (rumours of Preston and Leeds making late bids), and im sure he will score many goals in the next decade.

forgive me for not been overly excited but the guy is injured and unproven, I forgot about the overhyped previous transfers. So until this guy starts banging them in I wont be jumping up and down.

Judging by your posts the only LCFC related thing that would excite you is to see Craig Levein sacked.

 

[Chrysalis]

and judging by yours you appear to be affiliated with him or the board the way you think nothing has been done wrong.

It is no secret I want a change of manager, even after today's game I remain sceptical until I see a run of wins in the league.

I am, and have been, happy with Elvis and De Vries.

CL after the game...


The Scot also dismissed reports that the club have signed and sealed a deal for Walsall striker Matt Fryatt.
"He's one of the players we're interested in, but a deal's not yet been done," added Levein.

Levein also suggested that Jon Barber 'ask him on Monday' about the Fryatt deal. Sounded like a hint to me.

dont worry about that. If you watch the world interview or listen to it, just listen to the way he pauses after each question related to Fryatt. IMO, expect him to be officially signed very soon.

If he doesnt sign i'll eat my arm

I would hope that now we are through to the next round of tyhe FA cup CL will have more money to spend and will look for a better player first.

I think he's as good as we could hope to get Step,isn't he one of UEFA's top 10 young players or something like that.
