kiddo Posted 25 April 2025 Posted 25 April 2025 Always tries, always seems angry - maybe frustrated at his own lack of ability? He's got such bad positional sense, can't believe how much he cost. Sell. 2

He sees him as an upgrade on the Ukrainian lad they have. to be fair that’s great work by his agent to come up with that one

Feels impossible. Loan to Everton with obligation to buy for around 7.5 probably best for both parties then PSR-wise. With a 500K-1million loan fee and wages covered. Means Everton can strengthen in other areas and stretch VK’s amortisation over 5-6 years.
foxfanazer Posted 8 May 2025 Posted 8 May 2025 Which professional scouts are watching this guy and thinking he's anything other than abysmal? Apart from ours of course 2

Apart from ours of course Maybe they're looking at the footage of him from both before we signed him and when he was at Bologna and have decided he's better than what he's shown in a Leicester shirt.

Funny how many players look really good before we sign then, when elsewhere on loan and after they leave….almost like it’s not as simple as all these players being abysmal! 2
Leicester_Loyal Posted 8 May 2025 Posted 8 May 2025 Sell sell sell, 8m+ please. Mad that hes got 3 years left on his contract tbf.

No, he is shit. It's just that he's also surrounded by shit, so him being shit is quite apparent.

It wasn’t a comment on VK specifically (though it is this thread I guess). Just generally, what, 80% the players that come through the club are just called shit despite what they might have shown before joining or after leaving. You had people saying Harvey Barnes was shit FFS. Im suggesting that we seem to have a worse record than many clubs at turning players who were previous good to shit and suddenly they look good again when they leave. 1

I dunno, I don't think there's many players we've had that we thought would be good, turned out shite, and then went on to be good after. A few strikers come to mind, but they weren't considered shit, just not good enough to oust Vardy.
Pliskin Posted 8 May 2025 Posted 8 May 2025 Tries hard, but he’s ****ing shit. I’ll drop him off with Farce.

A few strikers come to mind, but they weren't considered shit, just not good enough to oust Vardy. Yeah I agree about that. I just think in many cases they are written off quickly, it’s like a self fulfilling prophecy when you decide someone is crap after a couple of games. It sets the tone for their time with us. And then people can’t seem to separate a transfer that doesn’t work for some reason from someone who is stealing a living as a footballer. Daka is one as you also mention strikers. The finishing ability he showed in Austria was so natural. I don’t believe that can be ‘faked’ if you like at a lower level. It is still professional football. I would not be surprised to see him do well when he leaves. It’s odd. But it is what stops me laughing at the idea that certain players are linked to certain players as Moyes for example might get the best out of VK. We don’t know at this point.
Buzzell Posted 8 May 2025 Posted 8 May 2025 We currently have enough cover at LB so would make sense if we can get a decent fee for him.

The Hitman Posted 8 May 2025 Posted 8 May 2025 This has to be agent talk. There’s no way a legit Premier League scout has watched more than 5 minutes of him and then recommended him as a signing.
Clever Fox Posted 8 May 2025 Posted 8 May 2025 Hopefully it's true. He was never good enough from day 1 and another very poor decision by whoever signed him. Which I think was Rogers.
lcfc sheff Posted 8 May 2025 Posted 8 May 2025 He has no good traits, if we get offered a penny take it and run
Grebfromgrebland Posted 8 May 2025 Posted 8 May 2025 It's it against the rules now that we can't profit on any players?

I can see another loan move for VK.
