Mills, Danns, Beckford

Hi guys - Foxes fan here.

Lots of banter among the Leicester faithful on how we need to add Dougie Freedman on our Xmas card list. Always liked Bolton due to a family connection, but fear for you this season with Mills, Beckford and now Danns around.

For us, those three are among the worst players to have regularly played in the first XI for us over the past few years - in the case of Mills and Beckford it's not a lack of skill but a lack of commitment, while with Danns the opposite is true. All three had a reputation of upsetting the apple cart in the dressing room too. No starting spot and the whingeing would commence.

Frankly, not sure what Dougie is thinking (I know he didn't sign Mills, but the other two...), but delighted that we've offloaded the lot of them. Hopefully the Danns move can be made permanent. With the signing of Dean Hammond there is not a hope in hell Danns will ever play for us again.

Anyway - good luck for the rest of the season. You'll going to need it with those three around.

PS> I realise that one of the trio (or maybe all three) will score against us this season, but that always happens. That's the way we do business - our only loss of the season at Charlton (1-2) came thanks to two goals from former players (Morrison + Kermogant).

Cheers. You appear to have urinated on my pommes frites.

On the other hand you may be onto something. Ex-players do seem to come back to haunt us too. Maybe we should get players on short term loans from clubs we're about to play. That way they put in match-winning performances to prove to their club they're worth a recall. Hmmmmm...........
