Bluetintedspecs Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 Some of the reactions on here are pathetic and I feel ashamed that fellow fans can be so vile and vindictive. Yes it's gutting and leaves a bad taste but it's gone on for years and years. Football is a short career and very mercenary and Kante has made his choice which he is entitled to. Get the fvck over it and move on.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 I can't bring myself to feel anything other than anger at this. What an absolute snake. A move that is just completely fvcking non-sensical at this current point in time. Will people please stop with the "I'm grateful for what he did for us" crap - yeh brilliant, aren't we all. But then he stabbed us in the back and left us ahead of the biggest season in our history for reasons revolving around money. Why should we continue to respect him, why would we feel an affinity towards someone who has done that to our club? He clearly doesn't give a flying fvck about the club that we all love, I hope he crashes and burns. This is exactly what's wrong with modern football, it fvcking stinks! and will those calling him a legend please stop too, he's just shown the greatest lack of loyalty, commitment and zeal for our cause - one that has made him a global superstar - he could possibly have done. Jesus wept, get a grip! Brilliant post buddyI 1 million per cent agree
GaelicFox Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 How exactly has he ****ed us over? We won the league and then made an extra £25M on top of it. There are people on here who will applaud Stan Collymore scoring a handful of goals and being a Leicester legend whilst wishing a league winner breaks his leg? Bizarre. If you can't get it No one can explain it to you You just won't ever get it
TheSomersetFox Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 great player, but what a cvnt. really hope he fails at Chelsea but sadly i think he's too good for that to happen

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 He will remember his next visit to the KP for the rest of his life Like a branding mark of hot pain on his Arse Then we can all move on I certainly hope he gets the reception he truly deservesAnd then some The Brian Little judas game will be a mere spat compared to this Let him have it both barrels that's what I say Kante the Cunte

Manwell Pablo Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 A player leaving for more money has nothing to do with modern football it's been going on at all levels of football since clubs started paying players.
Kitchandro Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 Can't believe people are judging fans for being angry at Kante. Obviously they have no pride in the club whatsoever.
Wymsey Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 The moment he holds the Chelsea shirt to the press will confirm football has no loyalty anymore and that money is the real main factor, even forgoeing more chances of trophies in the process.
Mezeker Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 i never expected him to be loyal to the club, because to me that means nothing in modern football. But to basically bolt to title rivals after winning the league is a giant slap in the face to all of his teammates and the manager. If i was one of them i was be extremely angry with Kante and be relishing playing him next season.
Tom's Pasta Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 He didn't leave for football reasons, that's the most frustrating thing. He left so he can buy a big house in London and feel like a big player. Bye bye I'd rather see players that value our club.
billyn88 Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 He was, at the very least, one of the 3 most important players in the most remarkable and greatest achievement in this club's history. By no means do I now hope he goes on to great success with Chelsea but I have no ill feeling towards him, I really don't see how you can after what he's done. At worst I'm disappointed he didn't hold put for something better (I was resigned to him leaving this summer). He may not have put out a lengthy personal letter professing his undying love for the club and thanks to the supporters but I hardly think he should be crucified for this. As fans we're so detached from the players but I don't think it's a crazy leap to say he's a quiet man whose English still isn't that good. It's not like he made some massive promise to stay and then went to Forest or something. It feels like people were less annoyed with years of mediocrity from headless chickens like Iain Hume (who then went to Barnsley after saying he was staying). Whatever you might think, he wasn't a one season wonder but a one season sensation. Let's reflect on it positively then move on.
Dan Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 How exactly has he ****ed us over? We won the league and then made an extra £25M on top of it. There are people on here who will applaud Stan Collymore scoring a handful of goals and being a Leicester legend whilst wishing a league winner breaks his leg? Bizarre. We could keep growing with him in the side. The money clearly meant more though.
Koke Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 Don't understand the animosity. We clearly weren't prepared to match Chelsea's offer which is our prerogative and probably the sensible thing to do. If they're really going to pay him an extra £10 million over the length of his contract then he'd be mad not to go. As for Champions League he won't get it this coming season but the chances are he will over the coming years - the sheer fact that transfers like this (talented player moving to lower-placed club for money) happen so frequently pretty much guarantees it. Only disappointed with the fee but that was inevitable given the (in this case) perfectly understandable release clause. Good luck to him. He plays the game in the right spirit, is an absolutely fantastic player and I feel privileged to have seen him play for us. Great post mate.
MC Prussian Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 At least we broke our record for biggest sale Could be another one just around the corner (Mahrez).
49er Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 They may have some of the best players N'golo but we have the best team, hope we remind you of that this season. Who exactly are these world class players he is referring to at Chelsea? They're so good that they only finished tenth. Why should they improve dramatically and walk away with the Premier League? They have vastly overrated players (Courtois, Fabregas, Costa, Matic, Hazard) and many has beens (Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry). I honestly do not think that they will win the league and, there's every chance, that they won't be in the top four either. Great choice N'golo! Imagine what your former teammates must be making of your comments about world class players - you are disrespecting a wonderful, close knit group of players and swapping them for the so-called stars of Stamford Bridge. Their style won't suit you, and your standing will drop as a result.
Izzy Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 I don't see ''hate'' as you put it, but a complex melange of emotions. Kante represented an achievement for a club not used to achievement. Most of us saw the possibility of a continuance of this purple patch for a while longer. There is no reason to fault this as unrealistic or vaunting in any way - the Club, as it evolved away from the disaster of the third tier, achieved something of unequalled excellence - no fluke, no surprise, no miracle - just the coming together of single-minded, resourceful and determined individuals, all of whom created this singular accomplishment. To have this man, great footballer that he is even, spurn all that and our club, is an affront to everyone involved. He has ignored the affection, admiration, respect and concomitant ample reward the Club were willing to pay him, to go off to a richer but lesser club - a club whose players are driven by the same underlying motivations as Kante. It is not good enough for him to try to enhance an already peerless reputation here. The argument about a short career doesn't apply to players at this level - if he is careful he could retire in seven years on the salary City would have paid him. This is a unique situation but every player who decides to leave will diminish their reputation - the men who deserted the Foxes of 15-16. I appreciate that, in return, the Club has the responsibility to honour all of those whose contribution was significant. Maybe footer has grown too big for us; too big for its boots. Money, as I learned many years ago, isn't a positive incentifier. One always wants more - but working with a team with a common purpose is perhaps the greatest motivation of all. He's abandoned all that to.... what? I doubt all the remuneration he gets with that bunch will ever match this last season with City - but then again a mercenary is a strange creature. It is best he goes - but like a spurned lover there will be the accompanying grief, bitterness and anger. We're all unique in life and motivated by different things I suppose. I won't judge anyone else if their values or beliefs are different to mine - each to their own I say. If money is Kantes God then so be it. Whatever I think of him, he'll always be a part of the most successful Leicester team I've ever seen and will probably ever see. Football is a business these days and a different animal to when I started watching it 35 years ago, and as an old skool traditionalist, I haven't got the energy to swim against the tide any more. Players come and go, success comes and go's and the years pass us by. This saga is just another drama in the ongoing soap opera of our national game. With the explosion of social media, the rumour mill and player power, I can only see the game continuing in this vein. The bubble will burst one day but probably not in my lifetime. I do sometimes miss the simplicity and innocence of the old days though.
TheSomersetFox Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 it's probably been mentioned - but its not the fact he's left, it's the fact he's gone to Chelsea. He's left a Champions League club for a season of more money. Fair play if he goes Madrid, Barca and that even though we've just won the league - but he's taken the piss here. Bloody Chelsea
Staffs Fox Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 Like others have said its not that fact he's moved on, it's how he's gone about it, How fecking difficult is it to say 'thank you to Leicester and Claudio for the past 12 months I've loved my time there but....' This is football, players move on and I'm sure we'll piss another club off with our Kante money but there's showing respect and there's want Kante has done
Koke Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 You'd think it was Junior Lewis or Akinbiyi leaving. It's actually disgusting when the guy was getting all the praise just 7 weeks ago. Bought him for a bargain, plays a blinder, helped us win the league - win the ****ing league, not a league cup, the league - leaves us with a £25M profit. Leicester fans always need a whinge. They call a player Judas whilst being moaning, fickle children. It's a career decision which may be right or may be wrong. Anyone booing him next season needs to do a lot of growing up. It's football and people want him injured or dead. Totally classless. Its an emotional reaction. I hope when the dust has settled people will be more rational. These people wishing him to break his legs are a disgrace. We are all disappointed but we should still show some class. He is one of our greatest ever players and we got people here calling him a **** and wishing injury upon him. God forbid if Mahrez also leaves. Our PFA Player of the Year will get absolutely smeared on here with disgusting comments.

This is football, players move on and I'm sure we'll piss another club off with our Kante money but there's showing respect and there's want Kante has done This is exactly my feelings his departure has been so disrespectful to our football club. I despise Kante and to say ' my dream has come true and he is joining the best club in the world makes me feel sick. He could have been a bit more sympathtic with his departure but honestly probably didnt give a toss. Good riddance to bad rubbish and please do not use the word Legend when talking about this total scumbag.
progmusfreak Posted 16 July 2016 Posted 16 July 2016 Kante's behaviour (deleting photos,etc.) just implies one thing: He believes he has been in Leicester on exile against his will, as if at disgrace to play for a small unknown club, his thoughts have always been somewhere else, he gave his best as a player with the sole purpose to be able to escape from us, and now is hurrying up to get rid of everything that connected him to the disgraceful LCFC. It is as if finding an appealing new job, therefore leaving your previous one shutting the door in anger, believing that they have manipulated your work devotion, and your next job will be all you ever wanted from life. This is very unthankful of him.
