He never really fitted in and was rarely used by any manager. Who bought him?

 

The fact that he has gone on to do well for Hoffenheim just shows the gulf between the Bundesliga and the EPL!!

Hoffenheim are probably one of smartest and upwardly mobile clubs in Europe. They’ve got an incredibly highly rated manager as well. 

 

It it didn’t work out at Leicester for Kramaric because he’s not suited to playing for a side that defend deeply - which we did for the half a season he was here for

Does it? I don't deny that the standard of football in the Premier League is currently higher, but that's a very sweeping statement, ridiculous in fact. I'm sure it also has a lot to do with him playing regularly, maturing and working with one of the best young managers in Europe. Let's not that he's also played well at International level.

Ridiculous, I don't think so. Is that why Pearson, who some see as the best manager we've ever had, rarely played him?

He was still relatively young at the time. Players take time to adapt and it was obvious that he was a talent, he just wasn't totally suited to us at the time. Besides, several players have come from the Bundesliga to the premier league and have been successful.

A mistake

 

He was barely given any time to adjust or make an impression and very clepsydras has a lot of talent 

 

Hoffenheim were poor before him I believe  and Vardy was given plenty of time 

 

Many on here would be drooling at us being potential suitors for him now.

Pearson played him regularly. Appearing in 17 games out of a possible 21 in games Pearson was a manager. 

 

Ranieri frozen him out.

Kramaric played on 20 games for Leicester (15 league, 5 cup), played a full 90 minutes just 3 times, and his total game time for us was 971 minutes, he basically played less than 11 full matches for us

 

He definitely didn’t get a chance to prove himself or adapt to the league, but for all we know he could of just ended up being another Slimani if he stayed longer

There’s no doubt he didn’t get a chance. However, we were in the midst of our club best form during that period. To play more games you have seen either Ulloa, Vardy or Okazaki dropped.
