Inler fails to make Switzerland squad

King also left out of the Wales squad.

It's because he's had a sickness bug and has a very slight hamstring strain. He'll go to the euros.

[Narblife]

I feel we have some real class or potential in the on the books, Kramaric and Inler name the promnent couple, but I can't help think Inler is having an injustice at the moment. He is quality, deserves games for his career but at the moment Kante will be the first choice every time. Next season when we are in many more cups I would like to think he will be rotaed in to more fixtures. On the other hand KRameric has scored 4 out on loan and with a good euros could come back on fire and ready to finish , should he be given the chace.. Long waffle, sorry. PS when are we going to get a blue and white scarf round the Statue of Liberty?

[Bamba's Babes]

He isn't suited to our style. Management should have known that before he was signed.

Feel sorry for him as he seems a good pro.

Crikey, some of you lot on here are so heartless. It is really rare to see a footballer giving his whole support to the squad when he is not playing much. It will be interesting to see if it is same story if we were battling against relegation for an example though.

I don't know if it funny or pathetic, but the hate @@Thracian seems to have for the guy (not just in this thread, but every time he posts about him) for having audacity to sign for the club but not be picked (which is out of his control) is odd. It's almost like its Inler fault somebody else has decided he's not good enough.

As a seasoned international captain I'm sure he signed on with a decent wage, but we agreed to pay that, so he took it. I'm sure in return for that hefty wage packet he'd have rather been playing regular football than sat on his arse for most of the season watching it. The disdain towards the guy from the likes of Thracian is weird, you'd think the guy had refused to play. Yes the whole episode has been disappointing, its not worked out here for him, shit happens though, not every signing works. I mean Man Utd spent a hell of a lot more on Veron and he by most people's thinking should have been a success but was a shower of shite. Chelsea with Torres, Liverpool with Carroll and Downing, I could go on, but the point is not every signing is going to work out as players won't always settle at a club or in a new league. The fact is as disappointing as its been for us, I bet it's been just as disappointing for him.

[MC Prussian]

To the ones who are suggesting we should get rid in the summer: Inler's on a three-year contract that is costing the club some considerable amount of money, he likes it at the club from what I gather (and that feeling is not income-related), he loves the relative tranquility in Leics (Napoli is a hellhouse in comparison) and he could become a very important element in a future European campaign.

 

When your place in the squad is occupied by two fellow teammates who are simply and surprisingly on fire, who says it's Inler's fault? Why would Ranieri want to change a winning formula (even though it must be tough for a seasoned player like Inler to cope with the fact that you're in a situation you've last experienced maybe 10 years ago).

 

Maybe an emergency loan would just be the right choice. He wants to gain match practice and he's in very good shape.

Question is: Would the club allow for him to join a Championship club on a short-term deal?

[st albans fox]

with kingy having a troublesome hamstring at the moment, we aren't in a position to allow GI to leave on any type of loan deal (if one were possible which I don't think it is)

Remember that Switzerland dropped him from one of their latter qualifiers (in which they didn't perform too well I think) so they were already looking beyond him. His lack of playing time has simply made the decision easy for the manager. If they do well in these two friendlys then I think his international career is over. If they struggle then he will probably get a recall for the tournement.

Personally, would love it if he scored the goal that won us the league.

[Lestoh]

oops

[z-layrex]

Feel bad for him, but it's the harsh reality of football unfortunately

 

I'm sure the money will help him survive this terrible tragedy.

[ThingsCouldGetMessi]

Sometimes things don't work out and I expect Inler to leave during the summer. Feels somewhat ironic that he is arguably our highest profile signing but can't get into the team. Perhaps we should stick to our signing rejects and unknowns policy. 

[The Guvnor]

Look a few people on here have voiced their frustrations at Inler. He probably is a delightful fantastic guy but let's talk football. On the few times I have seen him play he just hasn't cut it, I don't know why that is some have said it's the pace of the prem making it difficult for him to adapt etc etc. If you watch real quality players they make it look so easy they buy time on the ball Andrea Pirlo for example. Making comments on footballers performances is always going to be subjective, what I see you don't and vice versa. I can only comment on what I have seen and that has been far removed from what I expected of an International captain. If your good you can adapt, he will have had time to impress and he clearly hasn't or he would get more game time.

If he really is frustrated at not playing regular football then he could always move on, it doesn't have to be on loan just tell the club you want a move this has to be with mutual consent of both parties obviously, be interesting to see what happens in the future.

Inler, far from inspiring "hatred" or even "dislike" does nothing for my emotions. Indeed, but for this thread, I'd have all but forgotten he was even in our squad.

I was as pleased as everyone else when he finally deigned to sign for us and only wish he'd signed a bit sooner and given himself more time to prepare himself for life in The Premiership because he's been a disappointment.

What annoys me is people trying to paint a case for the guy's inclusion in our team either by exaggerating an indifferent performance or by reviving this thread to put his name in the spotlight.

People talk about his potential disappointment in signing for us and not winning a place in the side but there are plenty of people in the side who've actually done the business for this club and would be equally upset to be sidelined for someone who, as yet, has done very little.

People keep citing all sorts of irrelevent qualifications in Inler's defence. Captain of Switzerland (so what?). Seasoned international (so what?). Quality footballer? (Not in a Leicester shirt so far because the best he's been in several appearances is ordinary).

I'm being criticised for saying that Inler needs to wait his chance and, rather than largely wasting those chances so far, show the supposedly outstanding qualities that would make a genuine case for his inclusion instead of so much contrived verbal promotion.

Some have referred to his "excellent attitude" as if that should win him the shirt.

Well, I'd doubt anyone really knows what his "attitude" has been like on a week by week basis?

But even the best attitude imaginable would just be par for the course from all I've seen of our regular first teamers - and not just this season but for a while now.

So, bottom line, is that Inler's future is down to Inler's performances if and when he gets the chance because the only "promotional" he needs is the right impact on the pitch.

uh oh.

who'd have thought in august that the only one of our centre mids not going to the euros would be inler

I reckon he'll still go to Euros.

[st albans fox]

Thracian - is your assessment of GI at all clouded by your faith in AK and the fact that the two are competing for the same place? I agree that AK is the better player for us at the moment. Inler did a decent job home to citeh - I haven't seen him in the first team since so a current judgement is tough. I wonder if, given the change in playing style due to the general change in tactics by the opposition, perhaps he might look a bit better?

[The Blur]

I'm sure the money will help him survive this terrible tragedy.

 

 

That is a cheap shot- it is bit like saying that a millionaire's current salary will help him to overcome the disappointment of failing to secure a dream job especially if the millionaire is not happy in the current job.

The guy gets paid buckets to post endless selfies in the canteen and various curry places. I'm sure he's fine.

[melrose]

He doesn't possess the quality to get in our side, he's been pretty average at best when given a run

 

So much for the new Cambiasso our team leader

 

Why are people feeling sorry for him

 

Sell him and move on

[Arriba Los Zorros]

I see this as all very tragic. He's a very good player but not alot of thought seems to of gone into the signing and how he would adapt to our system, and it seems to of backfired for him.

 

 

 

 

He'll be thinking along the lines of this being a charming reward for showing loyalty to us.

Yes, feel gutted for the bloke, seems the only way to be successful these days is to be a self-interested pr1ck (see Sterling, Berahino)

[Len Finsbury]

I'd be very surprised if the Swiss manager didn't have contact with his captain prior to naming the squad. It's friendly and perhaps he wants to try some new faces in preparation for the summer. It's not like he doesn't know Inler's game.

 

He'll be at the Euros, no doubt.

Cambiasso wouldn't get in this side at the moment. In fact there are only a handful of players in the world who I'd want ahead of Drinkwater and Kante. 

 

Inler, similarly to King, hasn't had a bad game all season. He's been consistent. I don't think this is so much about Inler being poor as it is Drinkwater and Kante exceeding and raising expectations across the whole squad. 

[Kitchandro]

Question is: Would the club allow for him to join a Championship club on a short-term deal?

 

He's not good enough, simple as. Good pro or not, we need better. Where's the evidence he could be a big player for us next season? I haven't seen any.

 

Football is a harsh game I'm afraid.

No, when he's played he's looked awful. He'd struggle to get in sides battling relegation.

[FoxinNotts]

He's not looked awful. Drinky and Kante have been better. Simple. People on this forum seem to want to exaggerate. I can only assume they haven't seen him play. When he's been on the pitch, Inler has been standard, for a player trying to push to get in ahead of two 'un-droppable' players, in terms of their form. It's not worked out for him. That's life. He's a good player.

[Clever Fox]

It says a lot about C Ranieri as I believe Inlar was his signing. We all knew we needed a quality signing for the midfield as DD wasn't doing it last year. But who expected him to come out playing his best football along side the brilliant signing of Kante.

Now some managers would try and infuse Inler into the Team but not Claudio. It shows the quality of the man and his Management.

King is clearly the next in line so I don't see any future for Inler despite being a good player. I expected him to leave in January but you have to admire him for staying, given the Euros are up next.
