Day Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Sven Goran Eriksson has been forced to admit defeat after failing to tempt Czech midfielder Pavel Nedved out of retirement. Notts County’s director of football had hoped to follow up his swoops for Kasper Schmeichel and Sol Campbell by taking the 2003 European Footballer of the Year to Meadow Lane. Nedved, 36, won the Italian title with Lazio under Eriksson 10 years ago and was later chosen to be Zinedine Zidane’s replacement at Juventus, after the France midfielder completed his world-record move to Real Madrid. Having worked with Nedved, Eriksson was confident that he could talk him around when the Italian season ended. Negotiations have been going on for several weeks but Nedved yesterday confirmed that he would not change his mind. He said: ‘I have decided to finally end my career. I will now dedicate my time to my family.’ The Magpies have agreed to pay Derby £250,000 for left back Jordan Stewart.

He was inconsistent at LCFC, one game could score a cracker & play well the next he would look like he had no confidence in his ability and be dreadful?

Day Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 He scored a cracking goal once and other than that not alot, hasn't hardly featured if at all since Cloughie has come in, been sat around Moor Farm twiddling his thumbs and doing his sudoku puzzles. Would prefer to give him a chance up front than sign some has been that was never a has, say Dickov for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree with that, also he is on very high wages and a guy we have signed from Exeter City is 100 times the player and he is on a fraction of Stewart's wages, he is also 3rd choice left-back. TBH we have not had a good left-back since Chris Powell, but this Moxey lad from Exeter looks very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but the sales of him, Carsley and Stimac started our decline from a mid-table Premiership team to a mid-table Championship team. We sold him for penuts also, I think the figure was around 800k, a year or two after he left he made his England debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 NOTTS County manager Ian McParland today rubbished reports the club have agreed a deal to sign Jordan Stewart from Derby County. The Magpies were linked with a £250,000 bid for the left-back, who has also played for Leicester City. "It's absolute nonsense," said McParland. The Notts boss also said they were not interested in making a bid for Billy Sharp. It has been rumoured the Magpies were prepared to offer around £1.5 million. Striker Sharp has been out of favour at Bramall Lane this season.
