I keep catching myself thinking "you know what, I think he'll do a job for us this year." Like it's fvcking contagious. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing devil's advocate here, if he wanted to stay I'd be hopeful that he'd do a decent job for us at this level. him going is the right thing. It didn’t work out here, I just don’t think he’s as terrible as some are making out, really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BenTheFox Posted 1 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 1 August 2023 I can't be alone in thinking he's not that bad. We have far worse central midfielders still at the club. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked up, saw the run and played it perfectly. There shouldn’t be much doubt over his technique, more the application of that technique and his tendency to disappear from games that have set him back. Maybe he’s not suited to the physicality of the English game but that pass was outstanding. If you give me a golf club and a 150 yard par 3 I'll hole in one it eventually, doesn't make me Tiger Woods. Unless he's done it several times then I'm not having that is in his repertoire. Now name his second best pass in a Leicester shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve still got an amazing pass with the outside of the boot in my head that I made for the school team many years ago! Anyone can have that one moment of class!

He’s a professional footballer, he’s played for his country numerous times. It’s in his repertoire. Watch his you tube clips, he can ping a pass. He hasn’t done much for Leicester but to compare that pass to your numerous attempts at a potential hole in one is pure bantz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be a professional footballer that’s played at the top level in Italy, Belgium and England and had numerous international caps I’d put my house on that he’s had many more moments of class on the football than your one pass for your school team all those many years ago. If in doubt check out YouTube. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Workingtonfox Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 I must say whenever I saw him play last season he put in more effort than a good many on that football field. Unfortunately his face didn't fit with Rodgers so he never got a run in the team, unlike Tielemans, so I'm not surprised he wants away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 He's a Belgian international. If he does stay and he can't do it in the championship, under a new coach, there's something seriously wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis is average, decent not special, but ok and critically not every player can be a game changer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Fox Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 There are many footballers like him who have a solid career, by not being particularly good or bad at anything, just average at everything. I kind of forgot he was actually here tbh, which probably provides some indication of his value to the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester fans always seem to ignore the real problems at the club and scapegoat bit part players Come on, he has been average at a push. When you spend over £15m on a player, you at least hope he can contribute more than he has in four years. When we could have done with more from him last season, he contributed nothing. I don’t think the main problems have been ignored at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
