LCCFox96 Posted 8 September 2017 Posted 8 September 2017 Rolls Royce player. Model pro. Good luck Esteban.

TheSomersetFox Posted 8 September 2017 Posted 8 September 2017 Proper legend. Lived for the game and gave us everything. Never can I remember a player (apart from N'golo) leaving such a legacy after spending only a year here. Oozed class and was key in some huge and unforgettable moments for us. Hope he makes a good career for himself as a coach.
chicagofox Posted 8 September 2017 Posted 8 September 2017 Kante's season at Leicester and Cambiasso's season at Leicester are incomparable. Kante's performances for Leicester are incomparable to those of Cambiasso. in terms of their Leicester career they don't even belong in the same discussion.
Wymsey Posted 8 September 2017 Posted 8 September 2017 This could be a daft presumption to make, but had he not come here - Ranieri wouldn't have wanted to come plus the success thereafter? I felt, and still do, felt it was a marketing coup for the club to make Leicester City more known within Europe. He was a delight to watch, and he never let the team down.
chicagofox Posted 8 September 2017 Posted 8 September 2017 Having just been given the elbow by Greece and with his reputation seriously damaged, I think Claudio still would have joined us.
WigstonWanderer Posted 8 September 2017 Posted 8 September 2017 Incredible vision and awareness. Such a range of one touch passes. In a nervy season I always had confidence when he was on the ball. I'd love to see him here in some coaching capacity.

UniFox21 Posted 8 September 2017 Posted 8 September 2017 I'll never forget the goal against West ham that Kickstarted the run, and the bow against QPR summed his persona up for me
melrose Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 I'll always remember the goal against UTD and being in the kop for his last goal against QPR when he picked it up and we all stood up and shouted SHOOOOOT!

syston_fox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 I don't think he's in the same club legend status as the class of 2016 but his impact on that team was clear to see. I remember a first time pass to Ulloa against Chelsea during the great escape and being blown away by it. (if Ulloa had controlled and finished then would have been one of the great goals!) Roll on to the next season and Drinkwater is attempting the same sort of pass week in week out. His biggest influence was on what he taught to others during his time here. A joy to watch him play? Yes. A privilege to have had him play for us? Most definitely! Club legend? No.

Life felt too good to be true that day, like we were being spoilt it was so perfect. That feeling then remained for a whole 12 months. Such magical moments and all 5 of his goals were significant, even if one ended up counting for nothing by the end of the game.
sdb Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 5 hours ago, chicagofox said: What is there to be grateful to him for? We all have differing opinions but you are clearly being antagonistic or stupid. He brought a composure to our game that was completely missing, scored vital goals, basically managed games on the field, and kept us up through his experience and incomparable technique. His range of first time passing was pretty much our only weapon at times that year. We'd not have stayed up, nor won the premier league without him. Because he wasn't as good as Kante doesn't mean people need to try and be controversial!
pazzerfox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Quite simply a stunning footballer. A midfield 3 of Drinks, Esteban and Kante would have been muth watering.

Not to mention a shed load of domestic cups.

coolhandfox Posted 9 September 2017 Posted 9 September 2017 Although not in the same level of the League winning season, the Great escape was a amazing achievement. How often has LCFC signed a top class international, even in the latter days of their career, once or twice. He was a class act, there is more than one definition of a Legend. For me a legend of club is someone who you still talk about 20 year later, tell you kids and grandkids about. When I tell my son about going to West Ham to play Charlton, with hundreds of grow men dress up as roosters, that make me see Kevin Russell as a Legend! For me a legend is just not about achievements.

Then clears off to Greece for money. Great player, but anyone claiming that he is a club legend .get real
