ealingfox Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 Obviously the best thing to do would be a complete silence. No reaction whatsoever. However this would be pointless because the away end will cheer his name and nobody would even notice. Also people are too simple not to react in one way or another. If you're planning on cheering him you're an absolute dry lunch. One season he was here ffs and had no love for us at all.
Max Power Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 I'll clap when Ndidi smashes him into next week. No reaction at all to him as an individual - he doesn't play for Leicester City anymore.
Parafox Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 Anyone remember when Lineker left for Everton? We still treat him as a Leicester legend even though he left for more money and career progression. What's the difference with Kante?

ealingfox Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 Just now, Parafox said: Have I got a false memory of it then, remind me of the facts He went to Everton. The difference with Kante is I believe Everton were the champions at the time and having looked it up we finished 15th.

The reason we treat him as a legend is he's a local lad done good and spent seven odd seasons with us. Kante only played 30 odd games for us so doesn't deserve the same legendary status IMO
les-tah Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 He's a judas and traitor but doesn't deserve booing if it wasn't for him last year wouldn't of happened.

Kante only played 30 odd games for us so doesn't deserve the same legendary status IMO But having spent 7 seasons at LCFC to then leave shows greater disloyalty IMO than someone who is a foreigner to begin with and has no local affinity so was ever more likely to leave. He came to us as a step into the EPL. Would you stay loyal to your employer if you saw your future elsewhere and a bigger, more high profile, wealthier firm offered you a fortune to join them, or would you decline on the basis that you were born in the same town you work in? If you moved to that bigger firm, would you expect local people to diss you for it?
Winsum Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 I will do neither the bloke was a class act but he means no more to me now then any other opposing player, he did not need to leave so soon which slightly sours the position
ozvaldo Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 I'll probably bring my BB gun and aim for the little alien-headed moon-belly judas cûnt fûck.

I don't begrudge Kante moving on, he helped us win the PL and I'll always be grateful for that. Good luck to him but I wouldn't be hero worshipping when he returns to play. But I wouldn't boo him either.

I still remember the 'Leicester reject' chants as clearly as the Mark Bright brace that day. Nonetheless, he was rightfully received as a hero by the Kop. I was in the DD that day. It felt really weird watching him in an Everton shirt. I think the biggest surprise was that we actually won the game. I always followed Linekers career with great interest from then on. Can't say I'm really that fussed what happens to Kante's career from now on though..
Guest Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 I'll be doing neither. He got his applause from me when he lifted the trophy. He's now an opponent.
Fox92 Posted 8 January 2017 Posted 8 January 2017 6 pages over a player that ain't even here anymore. Comparisons with other transfers and other legends. 6 pages... why, he isn't even here now. Let it go. He come here, helped us win the league and left for a bigger club. If you want to clap then clap, if you want to boo then boo I doubt anybody else in the ground will care because believe it or not we've got our own players to support.

Chelsea has neither of those things. Yes it's switched around now but I'd argue that's largely because he left. If he'd stayed I believe we'd have a much more level playing field between the two clubs. His leaving started the regression. You can't argue it wasn't a betrayal considering the vast gap between the two sides at the time and the huge difference since. Clearly he was a hugely significant player. His decision to leave was probably the most insulting transfer decision of all time. Even with us being champions and with European football he still decided they were a better club than us. It's not like they are Real Madrid. There is no forgiving him as far as I'm concerned, expecially since what we've become this season. And I can't believe any real Leicester fan would argue any different. In fact, if you do still worship him I'd argue that's a failing in you as a fan. It shows a huge lack of pride in our great football club. This falls into three traps that really define rubbish posts on here: 1) It's a rant masquerading as reason. You've not actually offered any rationale behind the transfer of one man from one club to another explaining a net 25 place swap in positions. It's simplistic in the extreme and doesn't even scratch the surface of the innumerable reasons for the two clubs' reversals of fortune this year. 2) It's hyperbolic -"most insulting transfer of all time"?! I was more insulted when we sanctioned GTF's transfer to being a full time pie. I dare say those Barcelona fans who watched Figo playing for Real Madrid may have something to say about that. 3) Worst of all, and this is what really grates, your last two paragraphs are saying that anybody who doesn't agree with your post is not a proper fan. You don't have a monopoly on being a proper fan, especially when your posts are as poorly constructed as this. Fancy having a pop at other fans' integrity as supporters because they have a different reaction to the overwhelmingly negative one you have for arguably the greatest player ever to wear our shirt.

A very articulate and intelligent post.
