Farrington fox Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 Personally I think Andy King is the ‘model professional’. He’s not a Sanchez or Ronaldo we all know that. But you can’t fault his conduct, loyalty and everything else positive you’d want from a player. Fair play to him, he’s done us proud.

He's been a stalwart for the club, I would like to think he will be given some sort of ambassadorial role within the club when he's no longer useful as a squad player for us. I hope he's given a testimonial.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 Club legend. What a guy he is. The fact he's proud to play for us and hasn't even thought about leaving, it's fantastic. Achieved it all with us.

ozvaldo Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 When he first came onto the scene, scoring goals for fun in league 1 and some seasons in the championship, I genuinely thought he'd go on to become a Lampard for us. In fact, I remember thinking "he'll be sold to Man Utd in a few years!" He's done well to continue to be picked in the starting squad and it's nice to see a player who isn't a drama queen. He just gets on with it. Unfortunately though, the pressures of playing in the Premier League bring massive expectancy week in week out. And more times than not, you can see he's not quite what we need all of the time - that's why he gets some stick. It's things like getting to the ball last, not putting his foot in, constantly playing it backwards and sideways, and rarely looking up to play forward with any urgency. Cracking ball to lead to Vardy's penalty last week though ... I need more of that.
Lovejoy Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 Gurns as well as Phil Jones at times. Will there be a testimonial?
Ted Maul Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 Incredible to think he's been involved in the best and worst Leicester teams of all time. What a mental 10 years it's been.
Strokes Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 Never failed to find the net in every season in those 10 years.

It looked to me like he was instructed to play the diagonal forward ball last game. Unfortunately, the quality wasn't there and we subsequently lost the ball.
ajthefox Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 A goal and an assist in the game to cap our rise to the top. Couldn't have asked for more.

Koke Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 13 hours ago, The whole world smiles said: Makes me laugh it's the same people slagging players like Kante and Drinkwater off for their lack of loyalty that refuse to acknowledge kingys fantastic service to the club and our constantly making disparaging comments about him. You can't have it both ways. Kante and Drinkwater are significantly more talented than King. King is still at Leicester because he is not wanted by clubs higher up than us. I love King, great servant and generally a nice guy, I remember his first goal for the club (a screamer he scored against Southampton) but lets not pretend he is anymore loyal than Drinkwater is. I dont get how fans still get fooled by this loyalty nonsense.
sylofox Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 Not saying I'm his greatest fan. But deserves respect from the club and the fans. Testimonial for me.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 Leicester legend. No doubt about it. Not one of our best ever players, but his overall contribution to Leicester city FC in the 21st century at least is unparalled compared to any other player and most of the managers!

Anyway I wasn't really arguing he is more loyal than anyone else anyway just pointing out that fans are quick to question it when players leave and slow to acknowledge it when people stay.

STUHILL Posted 29 September 2017 Posted 29 September 2017 Not sure how it is at all being disrespectful to King, by suggesting he is not at the level we need if we wish to be a top 8 club. Great servant, and happy to have him as a 4th/5th choice CM, if he is content with that, although can't help wonder how we are missing out on bedding a youngster like Harvey Barnes into the squad as our 4th/5th choice instead.
