NEWSFLASH!
My mate Foxy Loxy from Leicester says it's nailed on McNeil is going to Leicester for about £35 million. He's that confident the cheeky sod is asking me do I think he's worth that size of fee?
He's been on the 'phone again, he's close to orgasm now, but nothing on the newsfeeds. He reckons the cash is being counted as we speak...

I would think it's far from a done deal yet BT. He's 15/8 with Sky to join Leicester, if they were convinced he was going to Leicester he'd be long odds on, or more likely they'd have stopped taking bets.
For what it's worth, which imo is not very much at all, SkyBet still think it's more likely Pope will join Chelsea (5/4) than Dwight will be going to Leicester, and I've been saying all summer that's not going to happen.
Do you really think we would sell our best player for 35 million .. He's worth at least 50 million.
When Garlick weighs up the additional Wonga to the bottom line of the business, believe me Alf, Terrier Taxis will be called into service...
