Hume /Stearman/ Mcauley

[Neil_LCFC]

As far as I am concerned they will not be thought of fondly but as part of the worst LCFC side in history.If Hume was our best player & we have been asset stripped of him by Barnsley it shows how rubbish we have become & no wonder we were relegated !

Let the rest of them clear off & lets start with a clean slate, my only worry is that is Pearson the right man to assemble a team for a promotion challenge ? At the end of the day we have got no choice but to give him a chance.

Some people built Hume up like he was something brilliant & should be in the premier league just because he ran around a lot !

he has ended up at Barnsley because he is a bottom half of div1/league2 player at best.

Let the next overrated overpaid failure go as soon as possible with there big ego's & non performances to back it up.

You might get a ton of flak over that post, but there are some very true words there...

Fair comment i would say!!

As for Hume... In my opinion it shows what a average player he is, Barnsley will struggle next season i think!!

I would have thought he would have tested himself in a better team, but he likes to be the start shining amongst shit!!!

That is exactly what he did here, he was at best a very average footballer, who stood out amongst shit players!!

Imagine Hume at a team like Wolves, where they have decent youngsters to be fair to them, he wouldn't stand out there, this is why he went to Barnsley, he wants to be a hero!!

Good Luck Mr Hume

[surrifox]

100% agree. Three players gone to three mediocre championship sides for some OK money by the sound of it. None of the rest of the squad are likely to fare any better.I cannot lament the departure of any of this side- the worst set of players in the clubs history. Good riddance-start again

He wouldn't even get in the starting line-up - they've got Keogh, Ebanks-Blake, Vokes, they're still after Maclean - Hume's gone somewhere where he's pretty much guaranteed to start every week, I think it's got very little to do with him wanting to be a hero

[The People's Hero]

Good riddance to the bleedin' lot of them.

Anyone lamenting the loss of McAuley might as well get a shotgun, shoot Taggart, Walsh, Elliott, bury them and dance on their graves whilst relieving themself on the collective headstone.

Yes i know what players Wolves have , That was my point to be fair, he would not get in the Wolves team, hence why he has chosen Barnsley, as you say he is guaranteed a start every week, he can play average and still be a "Hero" to there fans, like he seemed to be with most of ours!!!

He will score goals, but i still think deep down he knows himself he is not good enough to force his way into a good football team!!

This is great as long we replace them.

With us being linked to yet another ex-Derby has-been, I'm wondering if we have yet learned anything from the last few seasons...as well as wondering if MM isn't just raping the club before he ****s off.

You mean like he (allegedly) did at Portsmouth just before he sold them? Nah, surely he wouldn't be planning to do something similar now by selling off anyone we get a bid for.....

Was just gonna say the same thing.

Used to be you made money out of a club by getting promotions/winning things. Now it seems you strip a club of its morale, get em relegated so everyone wants to fcuk off, sell a squad and get millions.

How much you reckon Milan needs from transfers in order to get a profit? Shouldn't be too hard for him to get near 10 mill if he sells everyone.....

[StroudFox]

What concerns me is that we will be left with the poorer players that we had last season. Fine, they were only average but they were probably (don't shoot me) the best over the season or at least at times. So we can sell our better players but no-one wants the rest. We have to keep them Great.

I apologise if this doesn't make sense. I am tired!

Well said! Been saying it time after time about hume, im so glad he as gone!! He was overated at Tranmere and was here to purley because he works hard and scored the odd good goal, fact is he is an average striker and will never get 20 goals in any side... 1.2 Million!!! Happy Days!!!

I was a bit gutted with McAuley purely because of the improvement he as made in the past 2 years but we will get a no-nonsence replacement defender ok.

Stearman was ok but not that bothered!

We just need to get rid of 3 or 4 high earning under achievers and then build a squad around the good youngsters and get some experience in to assist.

We just need winners in this club!!

[Wycombe Fox]

I'm not bothered at all that these players have left.

Something's been wrong at our club for 4 or 5 years now. We've tried new ownership, new Chief Executives and new managers.

We've tried permanent signings and loan signings and yet nothing has halted the drive down the Hershey Highway to League 1.

I have a theory that whilst we've tried all the above, the basic core of the squad has been very close to unchanged since 2005. I would consider the basic core to have involved Stearman, Hume, McAuley, Kisnorbo, Fryatt, Henderson, Hughes, De Vries, Maybury, Douglas and Hammond. Maybe the problem was with the core all along.

I'm not saying that they're no good, haven't worn the shirt with pride and that it's their fault that we're now in League 1. I'm saying that they've witnessed the malaise at the club and had become a part of it, along with the manager's that signed them.

At the end of the day playing for City is/was a job to them - could anyone imagine what it must've been like going to work with all the doom and gloom at our club over the past 3 or 4 years.

Nigel Pearson needs to take this opportunity to start with a fresh squad, a blend of youth and experience, just like Jock Wallace did in 1979 after the 'McLintock Disaster'.

Lose the rest of the 'core'

Evolving the squad simply hasn't worked when what was needed was something far more drastic in order to effect a change in culture - and we should have been harsher last summer.

Why thank you kind sir!

It's difficult to make a worthwhile contribution to this forum sometimes as I don't get to see many games anymore but in a way, because I'm not seeing City week-in week-out, it's easier for me to identify the fact that over the last 3 or 4 years, there has been no improvement whatsoever!

And Scoweh - that's exactly what I was getting at! Nice article.

Roll-on the Pearson era - yet another 'exciting' one!

You haven't missed much at all mate. I feel sorry for the young kids of ten or under, because chances are crap is all they have seen. I'm lucky enough to have witnessed the good days.

There has been no improvement, the mentality is wrong at this club, Hopefully Nige will instill a winning, positive mentality, and improvement will be shown.

[AyewJoking]

First McAuley, then Stearman, now Hume.........next - Mattock???

I dont mind much. All these players were part of the worst Leicester City era of my lifetime.

Yes, they were the better amongst a very bad bunch but I'm so starved of entertainment by this club I'm almost excited about logging on to find out who's next out the door.

Thanks for your "efforts", now lets move on.

[Guest]

now lets move on.

Exactamundo!

[Toby or not Toby]

People are saying Hume was only average, but it was actually nice to watch someone put in effort consistantly even if his quality wasn't the best.

If the quality isn't there its nice to see effort, some of which some people dont put in e.g Howard

You could argue some of the players we have had in the past such as Lennon, Savage, Taggart, Izzet and Walshy were only just above average in terms of individual talent and skill but an excellent manager in O'Neill got the best out of them and other players in his time here. I for one never saw Hume as a Striker more as a forward and it wasn't his fault that his strike partners weren't much better.

I hope your not comparing Hume to the those players because He is miles away and will never play at a higher standard than Championship!

A very hard working average player at best and 1.2m is a great deal for Leicester, end of!!

I don't think you could say Lennon was just above average in terms of individual skill. He could pick a quality pass a mile off, look on the old season reviews.
