Not a conclusion. But I suspect that he was pushed out of the door by Everton who didn't want him but liked the money we offered - and I also think that he wasn't that keen to come here.

£4mil was quoted in the press, but i'm sure it was clarified as being around £2.5mil?

Yes, but we're Leicester and no player is good enough: were we to sign Messi, it wouldn't be long before he was described as work-shy and surplus to requirement. :icon_bigg

Are you kidding me?!
Messi is a lazy git who relies on his team to set him up. Not good enough for us!

Whenever I've seen Danns playing for Palace against us in recent seasons he has always stood out as their best player. I was really pleased when we signed him. He hasn't lived up to that potential yet but I'm sure he will before the end of the season.

I think that the problem is we wouldn't know whether Fernandes and Danns are capable of being first choices unless they were given a decent run - say at least 6 games. But so far neither Sven nor Pearson have been prepared to give King & Wellens a lengthy spell on the bench. As for the guys brought in from Man City and semi retirement respectively - well if neither can get match fit by now, I doubt if they ever will - and I see them in the Sven's old pals brigade category. But as we approach Christmas i don't want to appear too cynical!

NP was quite emphatic on Monday night that Waghorn has a definite future at the club.

I agree with that sentiment, but I think this suggests he'll be in the starting 11 and Beckford on the bench.

The lad showed some promise when he was here under NP, so I don't mind him getting another crack at it. If he's played up front when he gets his chance and not shoved out on the wing as he was under Sousa and Sven, then he might be able to progress like the majority of fans seemed to think was possible a while back.
I can't imagine he would have been much worse up front than Beckford has been so far this season. I'm not really sure he's what we need, but you never know.

He's hardly set the world alight at Hull. I know he's been injured but he scored only 1 goal in 5 appearances. Hardly the type of form to merit an instant recall into the starting line up. Now I know Beckford has struggled to settle but I think he's shown a lot of promise in recent weeks and I think it's definitely worth persisting with him rather than rocking the boat again.
