Relief all round, I fancy.

[Dan]

Good luck to him. Good news all round, we pocket some more money and get a player on well over the odds wages off the books. Happy days. It frees us up to make another signing as well.

Sorry, it's not official til Sean from Enderby tweets it.

The saddest departure in the clubs history, absolute legend, love you Moose 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Finally, and judging by reports we've just about recouped what we spent on him, if not more.

 

Couldn't ever fault his effort or application but his ability to run the ball out of play completely unchallenged will live long in the memory.

Several things:

- "from London"

- I know he's from Nigeria but wearing a jacket that thick in even this weather is clearly the act of a deranged mind.

- The 'highlights' section has literally one goal from his 2 years at Leicester City.

- Bit worrying that the plane seems to be crashing right into the stadium.

- Goodbye, sweet prince.

Farewell sweet pri....

 

Pity it didnt work out, he seems to have talent but just didnt work, I still believe he was signed when we thought Vards was going to Arsenal and Musa was our speed machine replacement. Never happened. good luck.

Chunk of money back and his wages off the books, lovely. Hopefully Slim next somehow and it should give us some maneuverability. Get a winger in now

 

Shame about Moose not working out, we all thought his ridiculous pace, finishing and Steve Walsh's scout recomendation would do well but multiple retreating runs on the wing to knock it out of play against Millwall and another couple of times and there wasnt really a way back in. You could say he didnt get enough chances but the lads in charge obviously thought they'd seen enough.

 

Looking forwards to seeing him look an absolute star in the next World Cup

Wish him the best. Just wasn’t meant to be.

[Koke]

He'll do what Asamoah Gyan did in the Middle East, score 113 goals in 82 appearances or something.

[Ricey]

If he had even an ounce of footballing intelligence he’d have been a success here.

 

Sadly his decision making was random. He is Jamie Vardy, but in his own head he’s Riyad Mahrez.

Which is why this could end up a win-win-win, i.e. for both clubs as well as the player.

 

When we loaned him back to CSKA, there can't have been a person on this board who thought we'd ever get 50 cents back on the dollar.  (pence on the pound?)

[That_Dude]

Never liked him, a speed merchant, a dreadful footballer with no football brains but still good luck to him. He'll be at least loaded when he'll end his spell there. Unless they confiscate his passport...

Musa is a better player than Gray and Diabate , a more useful forward than Okazaki.  His game is not for Leicester yet, if we harbor any hopes of being a top team someday a player like Musa must be given the opportunity he deserves. It's a relegation battle year anyway.

Good luck Musa. Wrong place wrong time great talent go price the doubters wrong.

Let's face it mate, he was rubbish.

 

Looked lively in friendlies, and turned up at the world cup which was fell lucky for us managing to offload him and get our money back.

 

Apart from that, in competitive games for us, he was muck.

 

 

 

[Guest Col city fan]

What a flop. If we’ve recouped what we’ve spent, the staff involved need a medal

[MC Prussian]

One big misunderstanding that is now finally over.

 

Another smarter move by the club, and a better move for the player.

We get most of what we paid for back (potentially even the full price) and Musa can lead the life of a King in Saudi Arabia.

 

Hope you rip up that Saudi league, Ahmed! Shame I can't really thank you for what you've done for the club, because there's not that much to thank for, really.

 

All the best at Al-Nassr, enjoy your time down in Riad!

 

Btw, why would a Saudi club use a plane nearly crashing into a football stadium when announcing a new transfer?

Sick kind of humour or unintentionally unfunny?

Mate he is an abomination of a player.

 

Go back and watch the away leg against Atletico Madrid and tell me he is isn't anything but a shocking player.

Naaa there’s nothing in the head. Works on instinct which got completely shown up by a tougher league

Wasn’t it Sevilla? Tried a half turn thirty yards from goal, losing the ball and twenty second later they were 1 up

Fantastic news
