Popular Post Sampson Posted 9 June 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 9 June 2022 6 hours ago, FosseSpark said: A club legend for me is: - First, Someone who excites the fans with performances. Doesn't matter if that's being a hard man, goalscorer, playmaker or superset. - They then need to compound their talent by showing they love the club or share common ground with the fans, above and beyond what's expected or merely badge kissing. - They then also need to have been seen to sacrifice another opportunity in order to continue their career with leicester. This separates stars from legends at a specific club. For me, in the modern era, this means: Walsh, Elliot, Heskey, Izzet, Kasper, Wes, Vardy, Players like Joachim, Lennon, Kante, Mahrez missed out on the love and sacrifice aspect whereas players like Albrighton, Savage, Guppy miss out on the exciting talent and sacrificing other opportunities aspects. Albrighton, Savage and Guppy were all more talented players than Walsh tbf. I think Walsh is a textbook example of a player whose remembered for his longevity and “moments” rather than his overall talent. Albrighton absolutely belongs in that same category if Walsh does, he’s scored some of the biggest goals in the club’s history, always gives full commitment for the club. His goal vs Sevilla ranks absolutely alongside Tielemans vs Chelsea or Walsh’s vs Derby. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this may reduce the number of potential destinations for TIelemans if Neves happens to be sold before Youri... I quite liked the idea of Joao Pahlinha here, but obviously we had no chance since Wolverhampton became an oversea territory of Portugal 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpe's Fox Posted 10 June 2022 Share Posted 10 June 2022 If he signs for Arsenal he will never play Champions League football in his best years. He will sign a, what, 5 year contract? Arsenal aren't finishing above 4 of Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham, Newcastle and us in the next 5 years. They might finish above 2 or 3 but not 4.

gurru991 Posted 10 June 2022 Share Posted 10 June 2022 He could have easily signed an extension last year with a release clause in it and looked after himself while helping the club. Never anywhere close to legend status for me !! His FA Cup goal was legend for sure but not the man. I just want him gone ASAP so we can re-invest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 10 June 2022 Share Posted 10 June 2022 He's an absolute legend. People that slate him are going to be in for a huge shock when he goes. It does leave a sour taste if he goes to Arsenal though. Because he's too good for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 11 June 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 11 June 2022 Funny how people fall over themselves to call a player who didn't want to be in the first place and left as soon as possible after 40 games a legend. But can't call a guy one who gave us 158 games one because he wants to leave and has had a bad 3-4 months form wise. Funny how another guy who gave us 179 games and wanted to leave is still seen by some as a disloyal, but the guy with 40 games gets away with it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurru991 Posted 11 June 2022 Share Posted 11 June 2022 Apparently everyone has a different opinion of what constitutes "Legend Status". YT has a "very valuable status' but not legend for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diffco Posted 11 June 2022 Share Posted 11 June 2022 Think of it this way, if Leicester never won the Prem, Youri would be a legend for scoring in the FA cup and winning it due to that goal. Leicester beats the odds to win the Prem, it in all likelihood would never have happened. It did. But as a standalone achievement Youri still won the cup, in a different team. legend.

sacreblueits442 Posted 11 June 2022 Share Posted 11 June 2022 ....the legend argument is pretty much subjective, so there is not a right or wrong answer in the end!!! If we look at the comparisons of Kante, Tielemans and Mahrez and their contributions to our club, there are varying degrees of games played and means of departure away from our club. Kante- leaving after 1 season was not a problem for me, he had a massive contribution while he was here, after having being left with our offer, the only offer on the table available to him. He came and was instrumental in our greatest triumph. He should have won player of the season and went on to win the league the next season, with another club, and finally received his recognition. I can only feel pride for those achievements. Youri Tielemans - A couple of years of good and sometimes exceptional service, but has contrived a situation that has become chaotic and demands a resolution. It engendered a toxic atmosphere at his last club, and he has now sought to repeat the process all over again. We need a decision right now regarding his intentions, and the club needs to press him for an answer. Mahrez- We won the League with him, but unlike Kante, I have little to no affection for Mahrez. His desperation to get out of the club and the lengths he went trough to make it happen was unprofessional and crass. He is always going to be part of the team that won the league, we cannot consign his name to the trash bin, but I would not want him to come back here, not any time soon. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenom Posted 11 June 2022 Share Posted 11 June 2022 Youri had an iconic moment but it takes more than that to be a legend imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
