Isnt he too old to play in the development team now? Which reserves do you mean?
Leicester U21s they play in the Premier League 2 Division 1. They played today and lost 3-1 to Man City, Eppiah wasn’t in the squad.

Leicester have got a game this week - Eppiah will be involved unless he is injured again . it may not be a reserve game

Hopefully, our scouting team, are also busy targeting alternative Eppiah type players who ain't constantly injured...
Gotta have plans B & C surely!

The gamble is whether to take Eppiah or another untried player from a premiership club i would suggest . There may be room for both .

I think someone with some FL experience is required. Whilst bot Bowie and Leonard have showed their class in their recent cameos. I think their inexperience showed when we were under pressure towards the end of the game on Saturday. A few decisions resulted in the ball coming straight back at us.

So, we’ve agreed a deal for Eppiah to sign for us a number of weeks ago, but he hasn't joined, he is fit and ready to go but hasn’t featured in any preseason games but is going to please for Leicester in some capacity this week. A lot of mixed messages from you here.

The message is very clear with no mixing whatsoever . Eppiah was not fit throughout pre season due to treatment . He was then fit and suffered further injury / niggle . i have never said he will definitely come here and have always said it depends on the injury situation and the terms . There is a will to make it happen but it may depend on any games / tests he gets through this week / next week . It would only ever be a loan although Leicester would like to sell him . The restrictive situation is clearly his premiership wages and very poor injury record . Hopefully that’s clear enough for you .

Don’t know about anyone else but I think we should be looking elsewhere!!

All depends on the budget I guess, Eppiah is proven at our level, he knows the manager and a lot of the players we still have, I get the point about injury’s but beggars can’t be choosers. I for one would love to see him in claret again, he’s direct got pace and started to finish.

Nope! If we can get him in we should definitely do it. He’s affected the game almost whenever he has played.

Yep, Im with the last two comments...
Eippiah is worth a g@mble if we can make the numbers work for us. He oozes quality and has huge potential. Coming off of the bench, and with the right service (which he never got last season) he would be a constant game changer.
I hope a deals done!

I'd take your hand off of there was a chance of getting Eppiah, preferably on a permanent move but if what is being said about his salary is true then on a long term loan.
I'm not convinced (yet) about his finishing but he causes chaos with his runs and will create a lot of problems for other teams.

This wages thing doesn't make sense. Why would Leicester loan him out for a season when its his last season there anyway?!! If he is on 5k a week (so 250k for his remaining contract) - pay him orf 100k, then we sign him on a 3 year deal on 2.5k a week! With a big percentage clause in it if we sell him on for big wedge. Everyones a winner. Leicester save themselves 150k in wages for a player they don't want to keep, Cobblers get a promising player on their books within their wage structure and Eppiah takes a small hit £ wise for his first year but ensures he's got a decent wage coming in for 3 years. Or something like the above! Unless there are serious concerns with his long term fitness.... ...which if that's the case, then a loan deal doesn't really benefit either Leicester or Cobblers. He turns out bloody brilliant and goes somewhere else for free at the end of it. Or he turns out sh1t and crocked and no one wants him!! A 3 year contract with some clauses in it I reckon is the best way forward. But what do I know!!!

I'm inclined to agree, Drilling. Maybe Leicester are taking a stand on paying him off?

Remember when Seth Nana Ofori-Twumasi held Boro to ransom and MacAnthony had a melt down after he signed for us?

Remember when Seth Nana Ofori-Twumasi held Boro to ransom and MacAnthony had a melt down after he signed for us? The fact that P’boro have shown no interest is perhaps a clue! Rather we took a gamble on Jack Diamond than a risky one with Eppiah.

They are either confident in his ability or they are not, give him to us, to shop window him, with a decent sell on or buy back clause and they cover themselves.

I'm not sure Eppiah would take a 50% cut in wages from 5k to 2.5k and I thought he was previously reported to be on 6k.
