There's always John O'Shea too. A Dunne-O'Shea centre partnership with two competent full backs would be the way I'd play it, but hey.
In theory JOS should be better but when he has played CM for us in the last year or so he has been careless. Stupid error letting the ball bounce vs Argentina, costing a goal, and a total brain fart on at least one occasion in Macedonia. I'd still tend towards SSL but lack of game time would change my view.
Ipswich in for St Ledger

This bit was interesting:

There are a few clubs in for him, one from Serie A. Whether we can get Sean to come here remains to be seen.
I wonder who the Serie A team is
Hopefully a mid-table team with the potential to get better!Quote:

Isn't that just a stock phrase the media use to fill out a transfer speculation story involving an Irish international these days? Was it Fiorentina who were chasing after Alex Bruce?...Quote:

I wouldn't! Talks ongoing so may or not happen. Games before the Euros are the key to where he decides to go I'd say.Quote:

The rumours linking Sledge to Ipswich continue, which would be a good move for him as the possibility of League One football would not help us. Ipswich also showing an interest in Paul Green!
Ipswich Town agree Sean St Ledger fee with Leicester
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/16486451.stm
Quote:
Ipswich Town boss Paul Jewell is hopeful of signing Leicester City defender Sean St Ledger after agreeing a fee as well as terms with the player.
But Jewell says the 27-year-old, who has made eight league starts this term, has a number of offers to consider.
"Everything's agreed between the two clubs and with the player's personal terms," he told BBC Radio Suffolk.
"I spoke to him on Monday. He has got a few options. Hopefully he will choose us. But we're waiting on an answer."
St Ledger agreed a three-year deal with the Foxes when he joined from Preston in the summer.
But he has failed to establish himself as a regular first-choice centre-half at the King Power Stadium and, with the European Championships this year, he will be keen to remain in the thinking of Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni.
"I spoke to him at length over the weekend," Jewell added.
"He just wants to make sure he makes the right decision because there are a few teams in for him.
"Hopefully we'll sell Ipswich as a long-term plan rather than a short-term option."
Serie A to Ipswich.
Shame Forest didn't go for him. Anybody would be better than Wes Morgan.
Looking forward to seeing the other teams come out of the woodwork for him. A promotion-bound Championship team or PL team with a gap at the heart of their defence would be preferable, I would think.
I think that's about as good a move as we could have expected. If anything better comes along, great.
It's down to Leeds and Ipswich for who get his signature. I think either team will be a good move for him.

Sledge /DO'D partnership at Leeds would be great.
btw I only saw last 30 mins of Arsenal v Leed and DO'D looked very good. Aidan White was playing left-midfield by the looks of things. Did OK, has a turn of pace.
I'd rather him join Leeds. Chances are Jewell won't be around much longer, where will that leave Sledge...
How could you say that about Paul Jewell? He was afterall interviewed by Giles and Dunphy for the Irish job!!
Doesn't matter for whom he plays really so long as it's at a reasonable level (Championship and upwards) and is getting a regular game.
That was more than four years ago. Give it a rest.Quote:

Back in the starting lineup. Signs of reconciliation or a show of desperation from Pearson?
Leicester winning 4 0 at the moment. Sledge very accomplished. Not much to play against as Forest are dire. Reid legs look as though they are gone, some nice bits of skill but fitness not there. I'm a bit disappointed with Cunningham, doesn't looked very confident, hardly surprising playing in such a crap team. Very reluctant to get forward.
Seems to be getting a lot of praise on the LC forum:
St Ledger 8 - Looked the perfect partner for Mills. Always calm in possession and has good positional sense.
SSL -8
St. Ledge - 7 Considering all that has gone on, a very professional performance. Delighted for the chap.
SSL 8 - solid and clever.
SSL 9 - I've said it before and I'll say it again, he's been our best defnder when he's played, same again tonight.
Not bad at all by the sounds of things. I wonder if he is being given another chance there, or if he was looking to win over a few scouts. He is obviously not keen on Ipswich if that move has not happened yet.
Leicester wanted to keep him for at least the cup game, in case he was needed. Think he was told he could go after that. However, his performance last night could keep him there for a while longer.Quote:

The doc just skinned a full back and laid on a perfect cross for Mills to put Leicester 2-0 up within 25 minutes. Commentators raving about him.
Yep, very nice move from St Ledger...Southampton look lost in midfield without Lallana.Quote:

Connolly was dropping deep in to his own half and far out on the wings just to get a touch while Guly do Prado (who St. Ledger was battling) was **** poor...they really missed Lallana today who was out with a groin injury. With that being said, St Ledger didn't really do anything wrong.
It will certainly be hard for Pearson to leave him out after his last two performances.
Rumours going around that Pearson is about to sign Wes Morgan. Could be bad news for Sledge in terms of starting regularly. He's not had great luck in securing a regular starting spot at Leicester.
I reckon he should still leave, Leicester still have him as being transfer-listed - http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.u...ail/story.html
