I agree. If it was going to happen, it would have done by now. Surely the delay can only be because of other interest.

Said that along, it was obvious.

If Raul Mireles and Arteta can leave a club they are contracted to and move to another and sign a full contract in about 2 hours, then the fact we haven't managed to sign an unattached free agent in 2 1/2 days makes it patently obvious, there are many others trying to snatch him from our hands.

None of whom, I am fairly reliably informed, are in England.

Your guess is as good as ours.

Although your guess is bound to be "no", so maybe that isn't true...

Actually, on the BBS and until I had read this thread I was almost certain it would happen, and to be honest I still think it probably will.

Anthony Gardner had an offer on the table from us for 2 months before he signed.

Sven is throwing bundles of cash at him presently so who knows?

There really is no secret to Svens success is there, find only a club with a massively wealthy owner and then throw more cash at players than everyone else

The Gordon Smith transfer was just as protracted. Except we did not hear about it. Gordon Smith did not want to leave Rangers, but Rangers did not want him.

Well if Dick Tight was still in charge, that would have been the opening line when we first spoke to him

Oh yeah, so were you ever privy to the negotiations for new players when Dick used to take them?? At least the Manager now has a say in who is signed, that and I am pretty certain Tony Bloom wouldn’t have been in Spain with his mobile phone switch off on transfer deadline day!!

and then try to assemble a happy, coherent and effective team from the many seemingly randomly purchased players afterwards.

What if he signs and then it turns out he is GASH?


The only thing that could depress me more is for one of the NSC children to post a thread entitled "Vicente signs" with some hilarious pictures of signposts with "Vicente" written on them. :nono:

Bar a blog on here what other proof is there that Leicester (or Southampton for that matter) are interested. Or have people put 2 (loads of money Leicester) and 2 (good player on free) and got what they feel like

But Vicente wanted to leave Valencia. As far as I am aware it is because he blamed the medical staff for his slow recovery from injury.

There is no such thing as proof in NSC land, but a few reliable sources with contacts behind the scenes are saying Leicester have moved for him. For Bozza and NSC to put it on their twitter, I would trust there is some credibility to it
