Yes, forgot about McArthur. Thought at the time it was pretty shoddy. Couldn't understand why it was either him OR Cambiasso. Couldn't we afford both?
*WARNING, more made up nonsense presented as fact. Again*
And what a great job he did with the Ulloa deal. It rolled on for a month and we ended up paying the requested transfer fee. Cambiasso's signing became an on-off saga. We cocked up a deal for Fraizer Campbell and then acted appalling when it came to signing James McArthur.
Harsh, but fair
Sounds like a statement of confidence in the manager from the owners.john-percy60-60_2378356j.jpg

Leicester City have sacked director of football Terry Robinson but insist manager Nigel Pearson’s job is safe.
Ulloa: Cobblers. We negotiated with Brighton for weeks because he was NPs first choice striker. Brighton wanted £10m for him if you recall. We eventually settled at £7m. What the fecks wrong with that? It's ridiculous to blame this on NP or TR.
Cambiasso: Cobblers. We made him an offer early in the summer but his brother and agent made it clear that he wanted to wait until late on before committing his future to anyone. He had offers from USA, Argentina, Spain and Italy too. He also had some negotiations with Spurs earlier in the summer. It's ridiculous to blame this on NP or TR.
Campbell: Cobblers. He was made equivalent offers from Palace and us and chose Palace. This is a perfectly rational decision and it is a massive stretch to decide that this was TRs fault or NPs fault.
McCarthy: Cobblers. He was clearly the back up plan if Cambiasso decided to go elsewhere and it was perfectly sensible that we did this. The fact that Wigan chose to go public about the proposed deal for their own means cannot be blamed on NP or TR. As soon as the Cambiasso deal was agreed, we pulled out.
Sometimes, I really enjoy this forum.
Weirdo.
Most of the time you are happy...
Weirdo.
It's a dark e, a ****ing dark e, geddit?What's this? ---> e

I was wrong. No chance he'll be sacked.
Irrelevant of the reasons. Anytime you fire the man responsible for transfers 2 weeks before the January window...well...that's not ideal.
Yep, I can absolutely definitely see that happening. It's almost guaranteed to happen, our Nige would love that.Another possibility could be that Pullis is bought in to work along side NP?

In fact, I reckon you'd have to be a complete mentalist if you thought that that was the single most absurd ****ing notion that has ever been imagined, ever.
Now, now. You're the one re-writing history. You can check back to see these comments from various club personnel about each arrival if you wish. Are you suggesting that they were all lying?
