On a side note, isn't that Richard III's skeleton?
If so, wasn't that found in Nottingham rather than Leicester?
No it was a council car park in Leicester city centre.
Pete O'Rourke reckons that Rowe and 'a Dutch winger' will sign soon. La Parra?
Van la Parra would be fantastic. Both on a free as well.
We were linked with a young Dutch winger under Solbakken but I can't remember his name. Our scouts do have a habit of sticking with a target, as we've seen with Jacobs, Dicko, etc.
O'Rourke just tweeted back saying it is La Parra who should be signing. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Looks like everyone's a winner if the Clarke deal is kosher, i still maintain it was shot to nothing for us last Jan, we were in the position to sign the Leagues leading scorer, luckily for us we had our own version of the 'SAS' so he was surplus to requirements.
Not really, we knew how crap he was, of all the clubs in a position to know that his goal tally didn't tell the whole story we were best placed of all.
Horrific signing on every level.
Clarke was clearly a bit of a panic buy. You can't let 3 strikers leave and only bring one in.
I wouldn't call it a panic buy. You could see the reason behind it (if you ignore his previous), he was the Leagues top scorer. Just that Dicko hit form straight away and then Dave Edwards hit the hottest form of his Wolves career. We signed him to score the goals to get us up, in the end it didn't matter he only scored one and spent the back end of the season on his arse.
:icon_lol:Crawley Town have issued a statement saying they have no interest in Leon Clarke
