thought he was excellent for us last week against Italy. Based on his Irish performances surely someone better than championship sides should want him?

That's what I was thinking too.

Had read Norwich were in for him... Dunno if there's much credence to it.

I thought one of the newly-promoted sides might take a punt on him but I reckoned that last year too around the same time.

He thinks he's up to the task himself anyway although accepts that his international form has been better than at club level.

"The last two seasons I've been inconsistent at club level, but I've found my form for Ireland has always been good," he said. "On a week-to-week basis, it needs to be better. "I want to be playing in Europe, in the Premier League or in one of Europe's top leagues.

"I'd like to think I'm good enough for the Premier League. The boss (at Preston) said we have to make cuts, so I'll just have to see what happens.

Being linked with a move to bookies favourites to go up Leicester according to this http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/in...&#entry1896918

Any truth in it? Do we know?

Doc?

PNE have agreed a fee with Leicester from what ive been told just down to the Saint agreeing to the terms. Think the fee is around £750k- 1m thats a bargain!

I thought there would of been interest from Prem clubs as he is better than some of the players in there.

When you look at how dire Wolves' defending was at times last season, you'd think Mick would take a bite at that price.

Looking more and more like Leicester with a little of the hand of Trap maybe ...

''On the transfer front, the Deepdale exit door seems to be opening for Sean St Ledger as Leicester City step up their interest.

The Foxes have been in contact with North End about the centre-half, and are ready to offer £1.2m.

Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is believed to have spoken with Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni about St Ledger, and the Leicester manager got favourable feedback from the Italian.

At the moment St Ledger is away on holiday which would hold up a deal being completed in the coming days.''

I suppose the transfer fee reflects his season with PNE, out of the first team a lot with injuries and a drop in form.
He could do well with another season in the championship with a promotion ambitious club, to get back on track.

good news for Daniel Devine , he might get a run out

Leicester also being heavily linked with Reading CB, Matt Mills tonight with an ITK poster on here http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/in...c=74181&st=540 saying it may indeed happen. Mills was probably the best CB in the division last year and had Prem options at Wolves at least (and, indeed, may still end up there) but it does show how highly St Ledger is regarded, or how stiff the competition for a spot will be, or how seriously Leicester are spending, depending on how you chose to look at it I suppose.

Anyway, a good move for him, real chance of being a Prem player in a years time and at a club where the owners are talking big about what will happen once that is achieved.

Top class from The Saint.

Self praise is no praise, Doc.

Good move for Sledge, hope to see him further up the ranks in the next couple of years. Great lad for us.

Leicester sign the other CB Matt Mills, rumoured to have beaten Wolves to this lad, and paid near the £5 million mark.

Sean St Ledger has joined a club with promotion very much on the cards. Good luck to him.
