I don't get that one. I'm really not impressed by Baptiste, he's slow, clumsy and not really that good in the air. Leicester's 2 centre halfs last week looked far better, Wes Morgan is class. Baptiste has looked rubbish whenever I see him play.

Leicester seem to want to buy their way to promotion rather than build a team. The signing of Wood is a good move but that'll push either Nugent or Vardy out. The danger of signing lots of players is that it does not help team harmony.

Slow and clumsy? A mirror image of his manager!! :lol: :lol:

I didn't realise how disliked he (Pearson) is by the Leicester fans. They dislike him more than many on here disliked DJ (and THAT is going some!!) :lol: :lol:

I quite like Pearson. He always seems honest and genuine in interviews.

I'd guess the Leicester fans are getting impatient about the lack of success despite their spending. I'd expect our fans would be the same if we were in their position now.

most of our fans seem to want to sign loads of players, it's about improving on what you have and having strength in depth. I don't think they are as bad as they first were they seem more of a 'team' this year with a new manager

I see your point on Pearson but OUR fans get on a managers back? Never, surely?!? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :ayatollah:

All credit to Leicester , they don't mince around when it comes to transfers.

Just been speaking to my mate that supports Blackpool and he is glad to be shot. Baptiste has been awful this season and is not even a regular in the team. Plus we must not forget that Blackpool have been good going forwards for past few years but even when they went up they were conceding goals left right and centre with Baptiste a regular in that team.
