Recommended Posts

My Arse-supporting pal says he only recently signed a year extension,so unlikely.

Yes for another year but I can't see him playing for them this season.

not coming back

 

Why Esteban Cambiasso’s decision to leave Leicester is a big blow for Claudio Ranieri.

The board went up and the number was 19. With Inter 2-0 down at home to Catania in March 2012, the San Siro crowd were frustrated and directed their jeers at their departing midfielder Esteban Cambiasso. Claudio Ranieri’s side did manage to scramble a point to avoid a sixth defeat in a row but Cambiasso is unlikely to have fond memories of that day.

He sat on the bench in tears. “An emotional reaction due to the great love I have for my profession,” according to Cambiasso. It didn’t save him from the axe. “You’d have to ask the coach whether it was the right decision to replace someone who has won so much,” said Inter skipper Javier Zanetti. “If Ranieri makes his choices, there must be a reason.”

Inter gave up trying to figure out Ranieri’s decision-making process just weeks later. The veteran coach was replaced with Inter in eighth place - eventually finishing sixth, their lowest league finish in 13 years coming just two years after being champions of Europe. Now Ranieri finds himself at Leicester just as the wildly popular Cambiasso elects to move on.

 

His appeal to Cambiasso fell on deaf ears. “I said to him: 'I need you. Everybody loves you in Leicester, please come back’.” But there is to be no encore.

 

Sky Italia journalist Valentina Fass believes Cambiasso’s motivation was simple. “He didn’t have a bad relationship with Ranieri,” she told Sky Sports. “He just had other offers. From what I understand, the only thing he cares about is playing. If a manager lets him play plenty of games then he’s happy.”

This might hint at the real reason for the decision to move on. From his debut display off the bench in a 1-0 win at Stoke, Cambiasso found most of his success at Leicester in Pearson’s three-man midfield. The Leicester boss dabbled with two in the middle but it was the switch to 3-5-2 that brought a late flurry of points and Premier League survival.

 

Maybe he thought tinkerman wouldn't play him or would rotate him?

Alberto Aquilani on a free anyone??? I would definitely take a punt

Yep and I'd guess at some point has played under ranieri.

Pretty sure it's bad translation, but his brother replied to a Leicester fan calling for EC's return two days a go with:

"...Time will tell. I have clear is that the player gave everything for the club, as also the fans!"

I just fail to see why he would go to Villa or West Ham, it's too much of a risk. We suit him and he suits us, he's risking it if he goes elsewhere.

Add to this that if they perform well and Watford get relegated, there may will be other London clubs who will come in to buy them.

However, Leicester isn't that far from London - train into St Pancras doesn't take much longer than driving there from watfords training ground in London Colney. (And it's much less stressful)

 

Plus London Colney is a shit heap

Strikes me as a proud man who wouldn't go back on his word.

That being said, there's so many influencers on this deal, that could have been written by anyone.

If he re-signs now i will eat the contents of my cats litter tray

 

 

I just feel the longer we go without a replacement for him and the longer he remains unsigned (mls, west ham, or otherwise), the more i talk myself into the possibility that he comes back after all. I know it is probably delusional, but I can rationalize it happening.

Any one that does not want to play for a Bundesliga Team that was founded in 1904. Must cost a minimum of 8m

euros.

We replaced Junior Lewis so I am confident we can replace Esteban.

"If possible, I want one with the same experience but younger than Cambiasso"

Arturo Vidal IN

Shame that he's just moved to Bayern at a bargain price of £26m.

Called this a month ago before we bid. Wish I'd put money on it now!

Any chance of you calling Ibrahimovic if this is anything to go by?  ;)
