Had a good chat with an old mate yesterday, r.e. LUFC, he was definitely of the 'glass half full' brigade and me not so. However, I have to say he did leave me feeling a little bit more optimistic about where we are at the moment, so, with very cautious little steps, I'll put his case to the panel to see what you all reckon! (BTW he told me yesterday when I asked him about Stockdale, that the deal was "Dead, I think Lonergan is back on the cards")
1). Kisnorbo is back, if he stays fit a combination of him, O'Brien and Lees will be a very strong CB partnership at this level with a decent keeper behind them. Clayton - he watched him play a coupel of times last season and reckons he's a far better player than when he was, briefly, here last time. Brown is exactly what we've been crying out for in midfield and is better at this level than Kilkenny, who is too lightweight. Nunez gained rave reviews at Scunny (At Championship level) and, looks to have got now up to speed with the English game by being on loan (It worked for Beckford!). So, Yes, we still need to see one or maybe two additional signings, possibly Lichaj if he'd come and A.N.Other in midfield. 2). He doesn't think much to ANY of the Leicester signings, and that they paid way over the odds for most of them. Looking at the deals, would we have (At the price paid) any of them at ER? Konchesky did nowt at Forest last season, Matt Mills is good, but not £5,000,000 good!, Danns, ST Ledger and Nugent are journeymen and spending all that money helps the likes of us as it focuses attention on them. I'm not convinced, but it was a very positive spin on where we are! Any thoughts?
