Speculation Nicky Maynard
- Thread starter Nottingham Fox

This must be the longest thread in living memory, (no doubt somebody will prove me wrong), however it was interesting that the Director of Football refused to make a comment about this player, has something been hammered out or will this thread go on until the next transfer window?

He has always been the target. He wants to come and it's only Bristol City that are making things difficult. They are treading a very risky course.
Durham Fox

In for Saturday is my guess

Hi Boc, is that info from the inside, so to speak?
Football director Andrew Neville has reassured Leicester fans that the club are still looking to sign a striker.
The Foxes have been keen to strengthen their attacking options this summer but have had bids rejected for Nicky Maynard and Jermaine Beckford and missed out on Shane Long.
Neville insists signing a striker remains a priority, and one could arrive at the King Power Stadium in time for the visit of Championship leaders Southampton at the weekend.
"We were hopeful a couple of days ago. Hopefully by Saturday we'll have somebody. It's not the answer people want but we're looking," Neville told BBC Radio Leicester.
"It can be something that can happen very, very quickly or it can be something that's long-winded."

So if we had done this earlier we could have saved ourselves 3 points ?
Good job Sven!
Yes stupid Sven, if he only bought every player with some chance of scoring against us we'd never lose 3 points, rank bad management.

They might insist on £6million rather than £5million if they have to take Waghorn as well! :icon_bigg

I must say, on the face of it, that really is an incredible deal for Bristol City.

Without knowing if it is true or not of course.
My gut is it's dead in the water.
