    Maybe the Gareth Barry interest was true then ... Pearsons looking for a veteran DM.

    We are going to have an older squad than QPR at this rate!

    Ridiculously experienced and a DM - would do nicely.

    Will be one of the oldest members of our squad as opposed to QPR where he would be in their youth team ;)

    ?

    The only players we have over 30 are Upson, Konchesky, Hammond and GTF - we need more experienced players.

    I guess this is similar to Lampards situation, not wanting to play for a different club in the same league after 10+ years at the same club, although its backfired for Lamps <laugh>

    Reports in Argentina say we have signed Esteban Cambiasso on a 1 year contract

    Report translated

    The Argentine midfielder Esteban "Cuchu" Cambiasso will play next season at Leicester City, the club just promoted to the English Premier League after its separation from the Inter of Italy.

    Cambiasso, who turns 34 this month, initialed an annual contract for an amount that is close to two million with an option to renew for another season in July 2015.

    In Leicester, the former Argentine national team midfielder will have as a companion to his compatriot Leonardo Ulloa, a former striker of San Lorenzo, Olimpo and Arsenal.

    England team coach, Nigel Pearson, endorsed their engagement and ownership assured in midfield team returning aa the Premier League.

    Wow! Cracking signing.

    AKCJ, I'd agree with your formation but probably go for Vardy in the Knocky spot.

    If Somthing happened to Drinkwater though it would limit us meaning we would have to rely on the wide men or playing King ahead of James and Cambiasso to create chances

    Still a great signing if it does come off. Just need a left back and maybe a centre half as I have doubts the Matt Upson is really up to the prem as he hasn't even trained properly yet.

    I really hope it's true, personally I'd love to see Cambiasso alongside Drinkwater in a 4-4-2. I know that's harsh on James, who would miss out, but this is Esteban Cambiasso FFS!

    Knockaert - Cambiasso - Drinkwater - Albrighton
    Vardy - Ulloa

    How about that! Cambiasso could still boss a midfield at his age; he's be exactly the sort of defensive midfielder we've been looking at. A few years ago he was the best in that position in the world.

    Pearson as good as confirmed we're working on a deal for Cambiasso in post-match interview. He also told someone to **** off and called them a balloonhead. Legend!

    I'll never understand why some don't enjoy his interviews.

    Balloon head is just inspired.
