Speculation The annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded Summer 2012 rumours thread

Jermaine Beckford - OUT
Connor Wickham - IN

Is that more fantasy than rumour?

I'd say it's just an annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded load of made-up bollocks

I like Beckford. I hope he stays. I also don't think he was that bad on Sat. He's capable of being our best player.

He took his chances well, and his through ball to Vardy was exquisite. He was brilliant.

I'm confuzzled.

I really don't think it makes any difference if he stays or goes. What we need are players the turn up every game and Beckford doesn't.

 

[M17TT C]

Did you miss the game then as there hadn't been a performance like it since some dick of a manager sacked Benjee off - truely remarkable!



I think we should keep him though. It's obvious he isn't playing anywhere near his best at the moment but it's about time we got the best from a player rather than selling them on to a rival at a massive loss only to go on to be a much better success there.

Watched the game, but am still none the wiser as to whether lanx is being sarcastic or not. I assume he must be, but I still don't get it.

I can whoosh myself if he likes.

Not to mention his fantastic attempt at defending where he completely wrong-footed the attacker, took the ball of him cleanly and won the ball. Also, when he didn't break up one of our own promising attacks because of the shameful play-acting he was not doing.

Voice of reason. Lots of people on this forum calling for the board to give Pearson a chance, but one player doesn't play so well and it's get him out. I don't think beckford has shown anywhere near his best yet- but he scored 14 goals last season.. And that's only one less than our top scorer. Does what competition those goals were in mean they were any worse? How many were against lower league opposition?

Not many are saying "Get him out" just he should be doing better. Similar to the backlash against Pearson after we lost two league games and then the cup shocker. Only one or two were say "Get Pearson out". Hopefully both will stay and prosper.

This is why he is a great player.

Mmmmmm beautiful

Stoke looking to loan out Danny Higginbottom and Kenwynne Jones according to BBC rumours. Jones could be a useful addition if or when Beckford goes.

[h=1]Fox hunt: Redknapp emerges as shock target for Leicester[/h]

By Alan Nixon | 8 Sep 2012 23:00​

This story appears in Sunday's The People newspaper.
Harry Redknapp is a shock target for Leicester if boss Nigel Pearson does not keep the Foxes in the promotion frame.
Redknapp – sacked by Tottenham in June– has already been linked with Ipswich, where Paul Jewell is under pressure.
Leicester’s Thai owners are desperate for a return on their investment and Pearson’s position was looking precarious before his side beat high-flying Blackpool last weekend.
They are currently 10th in the Championship and will turn to Redknapp if their Premier League hopes falter, with Leeds chief and promotion specialist Neil Warnock as another possible option.
Redknapp would need a massive pay day to join a club he turned down a decade ago. He has been helping out at Bournemouth but has hinted he would up for challenge if the finances were in place.

Cue weeks of morons claiming that we should sack NP because Harry is on his way.

I hate everything.

 

[alex]

We should sack Pearson cos Harry is on the way.

 

[RHYDAL]

You should sack Pearson if Harry is on his way.

 

[The Old Fox]

This is a good'un

I would think that Harry could do a lot better for himself, but I would not be surprised if an exploratory approach had been made. I do not see the board settling for mid-table football for too long.

Harry has just started working for Bournemouth.
