.Leicester fan in peace.
I don’t get it at all. I’m afraid he’s a poor player. What makes it worse is he seems to think he is better than he actually is.
Hasn’t improved under five different managers with us but was given a further undeserved chance abroad.
Managed to mess that up within 6 hopefully
hopefully (for you)3 he will succeed, but all the evidence points to the contrary.
To be fair I was already signed up on here for some reason I can't remember. I think more our fans are just amazed he's managed to get a Premier League gig.
We were convinced that after his move to Germany he'd be back in the Championship in 2 or 3 years. He must have an amazing agent.
I've seen a few people mention his run against Everton a few years back. That's all that used to get mentioned on our forums by those arguing for him. Because it is literally about the only time he ever did it. One great strike away to Man Utd when we were 4-0 down and that's about it for his highlights.
Intrigued at how he'll do. Don't hold any dislike for the bloke and hope he somehow fulfills some sort of potential.
No doubt he'll score against us.
Ps.
Social Media is not really my thing (aside from the odd football forum) but get ready for lots of cryptic posts on his Instagram/Twitter apportioning blame elsewhere followed by the deletion of his accounts and then restarting them a few weeks later.
You could post interviews of every coach hes had, former team mates and even the man himself...saying hes going to flop.
...you could even have a time traveller come back from the future showing evidence that hes going to flop.
Benitez could even do an interview laughing about signing him and predicting he'll flop.
None of these things matter when posters here are claiming:
1: Hes instantly now worth £8mil+ and we can sell him in a couple of seasons for £25mil
2: Hes a brilliant rotation option
3: He'll finally come good
4: Its no problem having a player without an end product and a lack of decision making "because he runs fast" like Forrest Gump.
5: He is suited to a different style of football than Leicester (and Leverkusen) play.
6: Leicester fans (whose team are signing top young talent) are gutted that weve got him.
7: Hes cheap and has a low salary and we should sign more players like this (?!?!?!?)
3 year deal for this clown of a footballer...Everton Football Club...
Rewarding failure.
