Good afternoon, I can confirm that Bruno N'Gotty and Jimmy Nielsen have signed for Leicester City. They are the first of two players that have agreed to join. Both have a wealth of experience and I believe they will be major assets for the season ahead. Also, I am delighted that we have recruited Don Mackay to help me with my recruitment of players at the top level. He brings experience. At times he will be able to give me guidance and support and I am looking forward to working with him and picking his brains to improve me and help me develop. from www.lcfc.com |

Good stuff. Got a lot of time for N'Gotty, an experienced and hard working player. Of course, at 35, we need to bring in some new blood as well to make use of his talents and groom younger players. Not a bad start though to the Martin Allen era

Not a bad start though to the Martin Allen era I'm still at a loss as to why he was given a 2 year contract though? Surely one would've been enough?  |

Well fair point, but I'm not a big fan of one year contracts myself. Player like that comes in and knows whatever state the club's in at the end of the year, he can bugger off and just pretend it never happened. At least this way you get some commitment from the player in building the future of the team, otherwise it's no different to a loan in. |

Got any "ideal world" signings in mind leicester lass? Now is after all the time to live the dream!! To be honest I don't know, I don't know how audacious Milan will try to be in the market. One player I'd love to see here is Sasha Illic, and with the Serbian connection I'm hoping it might happen! I'm just erring on the side of caution at the age of some of the players we're trying to sign, one or two isn't a problem but soon we'll be going Micky Adams style But all in all I'm excited, after some of the signings we've had recently - Luigi Glombard, Mark Yeates and the Horse on loan to name but a few - I'm genuinely excited about how things are going and as long as we get a few experienced players (by experienced I mean players who know how it feels to win, not necessarily are old) then I'll be happy. What about you? |

There's a very strange and perverse part of me that wants to see Emille Heskey back in a Leicester shirt! I know, I'll slap myself for that one.
I hear the name Matt Holland banded about but not so sure about him. Izale McLeod's always been a goalscorer at the teams he's been at but never gone above league one.
I'd love to poach some out of favour top flight players though. Just great to have this buzz about the place again.
By the way, what is it about Topps Tiles? I'd never heard of them before the shirt deal and i saw their signs on three roundabouts driving out of Leicester today, seen loads of stupid TV ads as well. What's going on? Has Milan had his bathroom done recently and decided to bankroll a local firm as well?!

Can't see him coming back though unfortunately  But we have another 'Bruno' now - Mr N'Gotty! I have reservations about McLeod though, although his goalscoring record certainly makes good reading compared to the likes of Elvis Hammond  Hmm I could tell you the story about how the Topps Tiles deal came about if you so wish? Well I will anyway lol. Milan and the new marketing manager at Leicester were due to have a meeting with Alliance and Leicester at the Marriott Hotel in Leicester with a view to sorting out a new deal but the dude from Alliance and Leicester was 30 minutes late, a Topps Tiles van drove past with a number on the side and Milan told the marketing manager to ring it and a deal was sorted out the next day, worth 3 times as much as the Alliance and Leicester one was. So there you go  |

LOL! Well no sense in wasting a good hotel room i suppose. Just shows punctuality is everything, and good advertising!
Shit, I hope he didn't pick Leicester like that! Pin in a map-book, or the next team on the news - give 'em a ring and buy the place.

Oh and he also has a 50" plasma TV in his office at the Walkers in case you wanted to know that. p.s. I don't stalk him, honest ;D |

Of course you don't. I suppose he just invited you in for a cup of tea and a prawn sandwich, then discussed his sponsorship strategy, distracted only by the appearance of Harry Redknapp's big saggy face on his 50" TV.
About right?
