Joe Mattock

[Neiler]

Young Leicster full back/midfielder (dont get excited left side), we are being linked with this morning! Has representd Engalnd at U-21 level and apparently us and the Norweigens are vying for his signiture according to such reliable sources as team talk and possibly tribal football by this stage, so at least we know one player we wont be signing then!

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

he should be good for digging a furrow down the left flank, why does he want to leave ? has he got the axe ?

a mattock ..........for those who dont know

 

[Neiler]

doesnt want to leave mate but apparently the big boys meaning us are circling

We don't need another left back, Baines will shine this year, plus, haven't we resigned Valente for another year

thing is Valente may not be here next season. Mattock has only just turned 18 so if we got him it would be a signing similar to Goslings, one for the future. we could even send him on loan for a season and bring him back next summer when we need cover. no chance of us signing him anyway though.

Well put, I've just been saying in another thread that we don't need another left back, at least not one to be in the first team next season, but I wouldn't mind signing Mattock, from what I'm led to believe, he's got lots of potential, and, if the price is right, then he's definitely worth a punt.

Valente signed a 1-year extension right after the season ended.

There might be legs in this one he was linked again today, and they sold stearman to Wolves during the week.

sorry, i meant in a years time after the 1-year extension.

Left back is probably the area I am least worried about in the squad, but if he's good then £2m *shouldn't* blow too big a whole in our budget.

 

[marklcfc]

He will sign for you tomorrow.
He will be a better player than Leighton Baines.
Who I hear is going to get sold. :huh:

Welcome mate.

How do you know he will sign?

 

[marklcfc]

It's been a rumour all Summer round these parts I assume you've only just got wind of it? Just something I heard and he's been offered 12k a week apparently, Joe thinks it's too good an offer to turn down but as you've said, left back is your strongest position. I'm not happy he's moving to you as he won't play as he's not good enough yet for Premiership football, but trust me he will be.

You'll probably loan him out to a championship team.
