He has gone on to win another Premier league, Fa Cup, Europa league and a World Cup. Also been on the losing side in 2 other domestic cup finals. Who knows what would have happened had he stayed, he could have sustained a serious injury, his form could have nosedived like a majority of our squads did after the title win and the opportunity to move may had never materialised again. It wasn't correct at all, if he had faith and patience in his ability man wouldve won a lot more elsewhere, Mahrez has already overtaken him in domestic achievements and he wasnt on the same level as kante

I was quite disappointed by it to be honest, i thought it showed a real lack of respect to Cambiasso, but seemed to fit in with the other stories you hear about the squad and the hierarchy of the players "Esteban was clearly a great player, and I don't think any of us had a problem with a big name coming in, but we didn't appreciate someone trying to take over and that's how it felt at times with him," "Wes was the skipper and bloody brilliant at the job, but suddenly he was being undermined by someone who hadn't been at the club long."

I'm not trying to be controversial just expressing an opinion I thought he was outsanding, particularly his leadership. I credit him, Huth and Pearson changing to 5 at the back as the reasons we stayed up. At the end of the season my brother asked if I'd rather keep Cambiasso or Mahrez I chose Cambiasso. Time proved me wrong but, as with Pearson, there would have been no title without Cambiasso... ...in my opinion...
The whole world smiles Posted 1 April 2020 Posted 1 April 2020 I named my cat Cambiasso after the great man. My wife bless her used to get some strange looks at the vets! Unfortunately the cat died a painful death some sort of liver failure. Fortunately the man will live for ever and one day manage us.

He is obviously a genuinely nice bloke and was a huge reason we stayed up and didn't drop back down to the graveyard that is the championship. As well as scoring memorable goals in big moments. Not really sure how you can't love him. When we look back on history his story will always be a huge part of Leicesters rise to the top.

LinekersLugs Posted 2 April 2020 Posted 2 April 2020 If he is such a hero why did he leave after one year !! Nah not a legend for me , one decent season then cleared

No he won't ,one year at a football club doesn't give you a right to be classed with our great players, and if I recall at villa in the cup people were screaming at him and shlupp to do one,good last quarter of the season but didn't all of them ,so let's forget about legend shall we, and going down in history ,
jeffschlupp Posted 2 April 2020 Posted 2 April 2020 I think the mere signing of him was just so unbelievable to us that it was the mark that the good times were going to be back here. He was fantastic at the start, of course. When we were rubbish he wasn't much better, but then he was a key cog and a leader in that great escape. I said at the time that when James got injured, if he partnered anyone but Cambiasso that could've been a huge blow in the last few games of the season. Esteban was the glue that kept the midfield together in the end. I will also always have respect for him coming back for the Burnley game after Vichai passed away. He'd only been here a year but this guy who's won anything and everything with Inter and Real Madrid came back to us to pay tribute to our chairman, which shows the class of the guy. More than a cult hero, maybe not quite a legend. But still a massive part of our modern day story, for me.

For sure he was impeccable in terms of attitude and so forth, but I think when people look back in 10-20 years Cambiasso wont bethought about, as an integral part of the follow on success, but rather as a side note for the great escape. Of course those who really felt he made the difference will think differently and that's fair enough - it is just a matter of opinions and shooting the breeze! Non of what I say is meant to suggest that he was somehow bad - far from it. I do sometimes wonder if its mostly younger generations that think so highly of him - any other 50+ out there think the same or am I just being a miserable curmudgeon?

Still feel that he probably kicks himself for not staying the next season. The same thing I perceive is happening with Youri, attempting to organise the players in the same way and some reaction are not as receptive. He has toned it down a bit..and the way he is playing, its a good thing.

Heskey2011 Posted 17 April 2020 Posted 17 April 2020 I'm 38 years old, putting on my Cambiasso shirt, with the collar to mow the lawn is one of the very few things in life that still gives me joy. *Without a hangover, comedown, or feelings of shame.

If you watch the West Ham goal all the players go to celebrate with him and as De Laet approaches he waves and the pushes him away. He celebrates with others but basically tells De Laet to go away. I saw that as Cambiasso not thinking much of De Laet rather than Cambiasso not being liked, but I still thought it wasn't a nice thing to do.

As mentioned in the thread, he wasn’t the sole reason we stayed up it was a collective. If you had to pin it on one player that really did make the difference that season it was Huth.

This was directly after the spurs away game where the players went batshìt after Wes Equalised late to make it 3-3 then a few minutes laters we conceded to lose 4-3. I think he came out in the press and said something along the lines of "you celebrate at full time when the job is done". It's not just De Laet he's telling a couple of the lads to get back and concentrate.

Does the same to Morgan & Vardy too.
