FLAN Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 Wonder how glover feels seeing his signings being sidelined

baldeagle Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 Not bothered , he’s not that great , probably won’t fit the system and obviously wants to get out of Leicester as quick as he can . Get rid

The player was bought during a completely different time, with different needs under a different coach. Things like that will always happen when you make drastic changes to the coaching structure and our tactics. VK was also recruited with resale value in mind. Edited 24 August 2023 by LFox99

Still coulb become a very good player / full back, but we don't play that way. What I take from this is how far behind we are from Brighton in terms of the way the club is managed. They know that when you change manager, the last thing you want is such a stylistic change that your assets (players) are no longer valuable to that manager. But that is exactly what is happening here. The worry for me is when Maresca leaves, be it fired or hired by someone else, are we going to have a squad that a new manager can't use? Because unfortunately it seems likely that will be the way. I've been thinking similar. We've been removing players who don't fit or play in the system Enzo wants, but majority of them will be able to fit effectively into another system. However, chucking out all these fullbacks who don't fit into the ability to merge into CB or CM does worry me. Should Enzo leave or we need a change in system/style we'll be leaving ourselves in a pretty difficult position. 2
RonnieTodger Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 Imagine if somebody told you after the Villa and Spurs results that none of our three January recruits would be here in September. 1
Tuna Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 Sorry but we need the money in to get new signings in, so I welcome his transfer. Shame it didn't work out but in reality it was not the sort of signing we needed in a relegation battle.
CosbehFox Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 I like him but he's never fitted in with the current squad. Like his personality really hasn't taken well, even without the clique
filbertway Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 Best of luck to the lad, had a personality that I admire in a footballer, someone that genuinely really wants to win games feels rare these days. If we're committing to sacking off our full backs then we best be confident that we're going to give Enzo the tools he requires and believe this is the way they want the club to play.

Number 6 Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 I like him, and think there's a good player there eventually. But he's not gonna get used in this system this season. Moving him on makes sense all round. Wrong place wrong time. 1
Cincinnati Fox Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 Great to see a lad who wants to play football!!!
Sunbury Fox Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 I like him and think he would have been a good option for us to keep to compete with Doyle; decent left sided defenders are not easy to find. But we need to trim the squad (currently have a first team squad of 33 players) so if another club wants someone who is not a regular starter then we have to get rid, even if there are plenty of out of favour players still here that I'd rather see leave more than Kristiansen eg Daka, Castagne, Soumaré, Thomas, Ward.
CosbehFox Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 If he likes his architecture quite a move from Leicester/Nottingham to Bologna and Emilia-Romagna

Be interesting what hes going to do if the system gets found out and has to revert to 4 at the back with traditional fullbacks. Not sure itd be wise relying on injury prone Ricardo and Justin for that.. 2

Not sure but would be interested to see how many top flight footballers these days get a degree, let alone one that’s not football/business management related?
mozartfox Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 As long as Rudkin manages to hold on to Vesty - I am personally not fussed.

MPH Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 Kristiensen would have been a perfect Nigel Pearson signing. Young, hungry, strong, great engine and can tackle and likes to get forward... But Maresca? He's really trying to take us into the 'modern game' isnt he? He wants that and technical ability too,. and lots of it. Maresca is setting the bar very high for himself and i love it - its winning/ champions mentality.. Rome wasnt built in a day... 2

No Mate, ive just seen him at Tescos on the drinks isle. He's trying to work out if its cheaper to get the 2 liter bottle of Coke or 12 cans of the Tesco own brand cola.. He's definitely thinking hard over this one... 1
funkyrobot Posted 24 August 2023 Posted 24 August 2023 Kristiansen had already partially been sidelined by Smudger tbh so it might not just be a tactical issue. Same with big Harry.
