Liam Manning, who replaced Nigel Pearson in October however is putting his stamp down on to the squad and is allowing one of their key players to leave with an eye on signing players that fit in to his brand of football.

This sort of thing irritates me

Kramaric with a 19 minute hat-trick to help Hoffenheim come from 1-2 down to beat Bayern 4-2.

And to give Harry Kane another 3rd place finish in a two horse race

Great shame we couldn't have persevered with him.

 

He wouldn't play second fiddle to prime Jamie Vardy, which is fair enough. He's had a good career since he left us.

It's not. We've a weird revisionism over this.

 

Firstly - for six years he would have had Vardy at his peak and in front of him.

Secondly - he was poor. He wasn't suited to the English game. So many times did I see him try to chip a keeper from 25 yards out because he was used to continental keepers being slightly off-position. Not once did he look suited to the English game. Staying with us would have hampered his development further.

 

People are blinded by the Football Manager-esque Work Permit drama and foreign sounding name. Ultimately, we had our most successful season ever with him on the books and he didn't make an impact. I can't look at that and think 'what a shame Vardy was much, much better'.

Well, we all have an opinion.

Interesting on the positions, transfermk doesn't even list right winger as a position of his now, yet for majority of his time here that's why he'd play and be ineffective yet no one at the club worked out he was more suited to other positions. La Liga is more suitable for his style though.
