Leicester Tigers 2016/17 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread.

I may sound like a stuck record, but if Ford came back we'd need to find another kicker to slot into the back line. He's still far too inconsistent off the tee.

No more inconsistent than what we have already!

Personally I think we should try to get Will Hurrell back here. A much improved player, very strong and seems to stay injury free

[LE18]

Do we ever take anyone back? B. Deacon is the last I can remember but then again memory fades with age!
Oh, I think Alex Tuilagi came back didn't he?

[RagingBull]

Been a couple who went to a championship club and came back.

Alex didn't.

Goode was one.

The Ford suggestion seems to be gathering pace - I'd personally be very chuffed about it.

Me too, I have to say. Somehow, I just think it would work.

The bell has tolled, and not for Tigers. Only the RFU stands in his way (well, England caps, or so we are led to believe).
Personally, quite happy without Ford, IMO like his dad, overpriced, over-rated and soon to be over there. (we Oldhamers don't stick together)

Just to clairfy, you would prefer to have OW or Burns ahead of George Ford?!

Mourad has had public intentions for many players he hasn't got in the past.

He does still grind my gears though.

George Ford is a class above both Burns and Williams .Personally I would let Williams go back to Wales or wherever he wants - massively overated as a 10 .At least with Ford and Burns we would have 2 10s who play a similar game .

Ford has gaping holes in his game set where Williams has strengths. He was doing all right when he was keeping Toby on the bench. He is also apparently a good team fit with Tigers that I doubt Ford could achieve if he returned.

Odogwu with another try for sale, reoccurring theme this??!!

But then we would have no plan B.

So - England are looking for a new U20 coach after Martin Haag announced his resignation today.

Hmmm.......I wonder where he's off to?
