Corky Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 He just doesn't offer enough from the start. He's on his fourth manager here and hasn't progressed from when he joined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitro Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 Just not a difference maker - should be the 4th look when it comes to wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttfn Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 I’m trying to think of the last team we had that he’d have been a guaranteed starter in. I think it might actually be before we signed Knockaert, I’m not sure he’d have got in the team which reached the play-offs in 2012/13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 Finished here. The whole dropping him and then re-introducing him on the big stage was an obvious ploy to get him going and it just hasn't worked. Cut our losses, put all our faith in Barnes from here on in.

This is not a one off. Out of ? il be generous aswel 85% of his games for leicester he has been dog shit. Would be great in league 2 and average in league 1. I'm honestly surprised hes a so called professional 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 That has to be his last chance. He seems to only be useful when we are winning and can counter. That being said, our attackers were starved all game. Rodgers and his two CDMs is as bad as starting Mendy and Ndidi and expecting something to happen.

cropstonfox Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 (edited) we are weaker with him in the team.We are better with Allbrighton in the team.Barnes and Parez dont offer much more.So marc is still the no 1 winger preferably on the left like when we won the league. Why does each manager have to learn this?Is Gray brilliant in training during international breaks ?

Sly Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 I actually think he offered more, when he first joined us. He had ability but no brain. He’s like a thin Lee Trundle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 Feel really bad for him, what do you expect putting a player low on confidence who hasn't been in a matchday squad so far into a game against man united and at old trafford?

Manini Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 If I never saw him in a Leicester shirt again I’d be thrilled. Sick of saying it, he’s not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 I was desperate for him to be a success here. Was a big fan before he joined us, wanted us to sign him for years before we did because of that i've been far more patient with him then I would with many others players that come in and have flopped. His time is up now, he's not progressed, he's treading water at best if not regressed if anything. Move him on and no doubt he'll be a success elsewhere but what's the point having him here when he's not going to progess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think we turned down £30,000,000!!! Then we paid £30,000,000 out for Perez. Talk about wasting money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claridge Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 30 million signing, fantastic prospect in Barnes and a reliable winger in Albrighton. So Brendan plays grey who is rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s like a thin Lee Trundle. Completely agree. When he came, Grey used his pace and took on defenders. Over the years he's tried to become a footballer, where he tries to pick out a pass and he just can't do it. He hasn't got a football brain, just like Schlupp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 45 minutes ago, Leicester_Loyal said: Had his chances and he’s played poorly in 95% of them. Get rid of him and invest the money in a world class winger. Invest the money in a world class winger? How much are you expecting us to get for him? Our best chance was selling him to Bournemouth for 25 mill. Nobody is going to give us anywhere near that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue ROI Posted 14 September 2019 Share Posted 14 September 2019 Said it before he was the first of the underwhelming signings we made in 2016. It's just that he didn't join that summer that he got off lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say he hasn’t kicked on but I think it’s worse than that, I think he’s a worse player now than he was when we signed him. His debut against spurs in the cup he was great, set up a goal and almost scored a screamer. Now he must be about 6th choice set piece taker and I don’t think he’s scored from outside the box for us in about 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before he didn't seem to use his brain and did it from instinct and enthusiasm. Seems like we've tried to make him think too much which has taken away from his raw talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
