How do you know he wont be thrown in for the FA Cup?

I obviously don't but so far there is nothing to suggest he will be. His lack of involvement in the capital one cup doesn't bode well.

 

And it's Sir to you not Dear  

[BenTheFox]

I forgot that we signed him. 

[dylanlegend]

I never can understand why this happens with players? I mean he may perform great in games just poor in training or something!? Why sign a player and never give them one chance? 

 

Unless the lad lad doesn't turn up to training or has a shocking attitude (in which case we should have found this out before we spent 8mill on him) I don't understand it.

One for the future.  ?

 

or a dodgy signing? 

[adejo92]

I hope he does feature on saturday. If he can't feature on Saturday in a team that a) is not performing and b) is without a number of players due to AFCON then this lad must really be a bad signing.

 

bored of the not ready stuff. He plays for his national side.

[STUHILL]

On the bench for Everton and give him 30 minutes in his preferred position to at least give some kind of chance in the first team. A lot to ask, for him to instantly perform, but at least give him some hope of breaking into the team by giving him some minutes. I mean, did he sleep with Claudio's daughter or something. So bizarre!

 

 

 

[lgfualol]

Really should have loaned him back to his old club. He has probably regressed with our shite youth setup. 

[Guest CityFan 06]

We know we're lacking creativity at the moment, or a creative CAM, I think Kapustka has the attributes to help that issue. 

[filbertway]

I can't wait till he does get his game, doesn't perform because he's really rusty, then gets written off by a large portion of idiots. That's going to be pretty good!

Why do you believe our youth setup to be Shiite?

He's played his fair share of development squad games. I haven't seen any of them but from what I've heard he has played fairly well but little to suggest he's much better than anyone else in that squad at present. Why should he be the only one to be given a chance in the first team just because we spent £8m on him? I can't see that being good for moral in the development squad.

[Struwwelpeter60]

Fact is: he played almost 30 minutes against Barcelona

Fact is: he was on the bench at Hull

 

I think, at the beginning, Ranieri was willing to

give him a run-out. Then he obviously changed

his mind.

Perhaps, because he didn't like, what he saw on

the training ground.

Perhaps, because he thinks, the guy needs some

beefing up, before he is ready for the PL.

Perhaps, because the lad crossed one of the

people in charge.

It is anyone's guess.

 

After watching Kapustka in that Barca game, I can

understand, why Ranieri is not so eager to play

him in the PL.

Oh, you mean the Barca game that came about 12 hours after he signed and before any training sessions with the rest of the squad? 

 

I hope he gets some game time against Everton and a bit more exposure over the next 4-6 prem games.

[Webbo]

Maybe he's not good enough yet? 

[L1wood]

Hard decision for Claudio at the weekend does he play him & get him cup tied which then makes him slightly less attractive to championship pursuitors who want him on loan.

 

or does he keep him out the squad & send him straight out on loan till the end of the season. 

[StriderHiryu]

I'm not sure he can go on loan as he's already played for two clubs. 

 

Selling this kid now is stupid. If "he's not ready" then fine but we should have loaned him straight back. To get rid of a promising international age 19 without giving him a chance is crazy. Having seen this kid play in the Euros and WC qualifiers I can't believe our coaching team genuinely think he is worse than Schlupp. 

 

Almost certainly this deal was made by his agent and Claudio agreed to it as there wasn't much to risk on it. Feel sorry for the guy.

What Clubs has he played for this season ? 

No competitive matches for Leicester

[fuchsntf]

Spending 8mil.Having an International record, showing potential, before investment Then even if that buy shows little in training, or friendlies means to me,

he should be at least on the bench, with a few cameos of game time, especially with Squad-mates not performing.

After 12-14 games many times the team not pointing, Kapustka would not of done worse than any of the Ranieri's untouchables..!

Sometimes you have to throw in the unknown, and the challenge.

12-14 games of really crap performances was/is  enough to bring in this type of fringe player, a player who has shown quality at polish international level.

 

Imagination, and giving belief is a part of being  PL coaches, and managers.

This season not only the players have been lacking, but also the whole coaching staff.

The not trying is the failure, not the fact he could of backfired or will backfire.

Every single present player including DDrinkwater have not delivered a 4-5 game of

positive consistency.(exeptions, Schmeichel, Simpson and Fuchs..perhaps! )

Thats why for me Kapu should of been given his chance. He didnt cost 2-3mil, but 8mil.

Apparently playing for the U23's counts. 

 

Hope I'm wrong as if we are not going to use him it would be good for everyone involved to loan him out.

My sentiments exactly. Hopefully with Schlupp leaving, he may get on the bench and have a few cameo's like grey last season. If he doesn't get any game time against Everton, then  we won't see him play this season.

I'm half polish so watch the national team a lot. Don't get me wrong he's not the 2nd coming of Jesus or anything like that, but if you didn't spot his baby face and someone told you he was a first team 26 yr old winger for a respectable mid table club in one of Europe's top leagues, you'd believe it. Way better than any 19 yr old has any right to be and when he plays he is competent and not just a passsnger. Tons of potential. 

 

Like any young player he will be raw, but I look at the way Amartey and Gray (and Chillwell) are clearly improving and can't see the logic. 10-20 minutes here and there would help. 

 

I'm no coach so it's just an opinion, but I can't believe he's been given no time whatsoever. None of our wingers have consistently performed this season. If we were on fire like last year then fair enough but we've had some nightmares this season. I know he was injured for the Porto game but Jeff Schlupp was so dreadful in that game that it raises questions.
