Transfer Record Smashed ?

The 6th signing of the summer Matt Mills who signed a 4 year deal is set to smash the transfer record after signing for £4.5 million rising to £5.5 million.
Although that is a bit much for a Championship player Sven Goran Eriksson said
"Mathew Mills of Reading, is one of the better defeneders in this league."
Also after the signing of Sean St Ledger on a Undisclosed Fee there are now 3 main centre backs, Mills, Bamba and St Ledger Sven clearly wants players to compete for a place in the squad ,there have also been rumours theat Bamba was going to Marseile but Sven said,
"I have heard that rumour for weeks but Marseille have not contacted us at all,
I don't know what is behind that. We want to keep Bamba, we don't want to sell him."
Also  David Nugent signed on a 3 year deal aswell, there have also been rumours recently that injury prone Owen Hargreaves is coming to Leicester which would be a good signing, if he can stay fit.
Over the next few weeks there will most likely be more signing and we will just have to wait and see who those signings are.

Neil Danns, Craig Mackail-Smith and more...

Now I know some people don't like twitter but I myself have a twitter account and when I asked Football_Agent9 if  Craig Mackail-Smith and Neil Danns are coming to Leicester they replied "CMS is going to a Premier League team last i heard, Danns yeah, seems that way." Football_Agent9 has over 8,000 Followers and usually seems fairly reliable. Personally I would love to see Neil Danns at the club and if what Football_Agent9 says is true it looks as if this will happen but despite this Rangers and Celtic are interested so would he be tempted by Champions League or Europa League football ? If he was to be signed I think he would be a great signing, as for CMS(Craig Mackail-Smith) although he would be a good signing (in my opinion) but he looks set to join a Prem side as Everton and QPR are interested, last season he scored 34 goals in 55 appearances with Peterborough in League 1. 


Left Back Tsepo Masilela looks asif he has signed a loan with us from Maccabi Haifa, I've never seen him play personally but I've found 2 videos on youtube of him. Peter Tsepo Masilela - Maccabi Haifa video shows he has ability when it comes to going up.  Tsepo Masilela Defensive moments this also shows he has abilty defensively too (as you can tell by the name of the video.)   

        
Leicester have also had a bid rejected for Jong Tae-Se from VfL Bochum, the North Korean striker has scored 15 goals in 28 games for North Korea national team he also played in the 2010 Fifa World Cup.

As I said last time I would appreciate any feedback or tips.

The tranfer market.

As you probably know there have been many transfer rumours linked to Leicester City ,
they have already signed Lee Peltier from Huddersfield on a three year contract for an undisclosed fee believed to be £750,000 and the likes of Kasper Schmeichel looks close to signing after Leeds United accepted a £1 million offer for the Danish keeper,
but despite this Schmeichel sent out a statement saying

"At the end of the season Leeds United and i both made a commitment to honuor the last year of my contract and try to win promotion with Leeds United. Therefore it is with great dissappoint that i have learned that Leeds United have accepted an offer from Leicester".

We also had a £2.5 million bid rejected for Nicky Maynard by Bristol City.
The charmain of Bristol City Colin Sexstone said he had no intention of selling Maynard, Nottingham Forest,
 West Ham United and Southampton are the other teams interested in the striker. David Nugent is another target that could sign, Leicester look to be winning the race to sign the former England striker and Matt Derbyshire is another they could sign.

Although we are rumoured to sign alot of players we are also rumoured to sell some too, Michael Lamey has left to join Polish side Wisla Krakow. Robbie Neilson looks like he will leave to go to Brentford as does Jack Hobbs to Hull for £800,000 Alexander Tunchev may leave depending on his fitness and Moreno will also most likely leave.

Personally I would rather we took out time with signings rather than rushing as if we did rush we could regret it in the near future.

As this is my first post I would appreciate any feedback.
