    Just randoms, but randoms who have clearly picked it up from a different source. As I said wait until Monday, and if it doesn't happen feel free to tell me I told you so. <ok>

    It wouldn't go from just one Leeds guy claiming it to people on the Leicester side talking about it as a done deal if there wasn't at least a little substance behind the rumour.

    Well i've just read something from a reliable source that Mills has had a rant at Pearson and that 'vile' language that is deemed 'unacceptable to your gaffer' was used.

    There is also 'no point' in comparing this to the St Ledger situation as this is 'much worse'.

    Nigel wouldn't stand for that if true so he may well be out.

    Odd move if it turns out true, must be upset about being dropped, its SSL from January all over again.

    Apparently he's training with the reserves and youth team.

    Not looking good for Matt Mills at #lcfc after a row with Nigel Pearson. All leeds up to a possible move away on loan

    To be honest i have heard that he is going to leeds as well,so i suppose we will have to wait and see.
    If he has used verbally abusive language to NP just because he is not happy being dropped,then i dont want him in our team all it does is cause upset for the rest of the team so Leeds can have him for all i care spoilt little brat

    I would loan him but not to Leeds. Send him to Pompey so he can help them and send Cov and Forest down

    You sly dog J_P <laugh>


    TBH, out of the 5 defenders we've got he's the least 'likeable' and he's no better than Morgan or SSL at the moment.
    I'm loving the selection dilemma though.

    You really think Pompey can afford his wages?!


    EDIT;

    Speaking of Pompey and loanees, they've jst loaned Erik Husseklepp to Birmingham. He's a very good player and one I wish we'd gone for.

    We would still have to pay the wages but if it sends Cov and Forest down it would be worth it

    I'd rather they stayed up.

    True on the day they go down i'll be over the moon. But next season our biggest derby game would be against Derby <laugh>

    Because we've effectively got bugger all by way of cover. Dawson and Dudgeon are both left backs so I'm not worried about that. At centre back we have Chester and Hobbs, and the only cover for them is Cooper, who looks a good prospect but has only started 11 league games in his career, 8 of them in League 1. And at right back we have Rosenior and a youth team player.

    An additional problem is that if Hobbs gets injured our tallest defender is going to be 5'10". With the likes of Iwelumo, Carlton Cole/Carew, and Henderson to play it's nice to have a defender with some size. They don't need to be able to win every header, just being able to hold the strikers away from the ball without it being given as a foul even when it's not would be handy.

    As for the not being able to score for toffee, as far as I'm concerned there were two suitable players available in January that were affordable, we've either not taken the opportunity (Jason Roberts, not a hindsight suggestion on my part) or we're wasting it (King who we're playing in the wrong position IMO). I can't think of anyone else suitable at the moment, so I'm not going to complain if they can''t find someone now (other than about missing Roberts/King playing wide).

    I'm not saying it's not true, but all you need is one **** reporter that trawls internet message boards for their stories. On our old OWS messageboard I noticed in the space of a month there'd been 5 transfer suggestions and 4 of them appeared in the paper a couple of days later, so I started making them up on purpose to test the theory. A couple of days after I started them they were all in the paper with a "sources close to the club" reference. Not all as full articles, some as tail ends to other ones, but definitely not coincidental.

    With twitter these days the same kind of reporter would soon have a major rumour going if they did the same thing. Like this guy who's got two transfers early, that could be luck, but if a reporter picks up on it and starts retweeting it becomes a rumour. In order to cover their own back if it doesn't happen the reporter will claim something cropped up during negotiations. It builds the rep of the original tweeter, and then anything he says in future also by default becomes a respected rumour.

    As Ricardo has said, we don't have any decent right back cover at all and only inexperienced cover at centre back.

    If this does happen its will be shades of Gradel and DJ. Loan to another club and watch them produce the form that you could not get out of them?
