Clive Redman Posted 13 June 2011 Posted 13 June 2011 Taken from a Soar Magazine interview with Sol... How much of an influence was Sven on your decision to sign? I’d heard about the club before but if Sven wasn’t here I don’t know if I would’ve signed. I know him from the Ivory Coast and he’s been good to me, even if he didn’t play me in the World Cup. He was always talking to me and giving me good advice. At that time I was wondering what to do as I had one year left on my contract at Hibs and he said, ‘just stay and see what happens in the summer or in January,’ and he came here, called me and I signed. It’s great to work with him every day and you learn a lot because he’s a big manager with a lot of experience. I’m lucky to have him here. Is the club bigger than you thought before you signed? Definitely. You can see it in the stadium, the training facilities and the fans. Everywhere I go the fans say that Leicester should be a Premier League club. I didn’t realise that before I came here but now I know, so hopefully we can manage to do that. What are your memories of that headline grabbing debut against Manchester City? I remember the goal. It was my first touch and it went in. I couldn’t have asked for any more. It was a good game, I managed to score a goal, we defended well and my team-mates helped me a lot, so it was a dream start. I played in Scotland for three and a half years and hardly scored but I’ve come here and scored a few, so obviously the Scottish people aren’t very happy about that!

bmt Posted 13 June 2011 Posted 13 June 2011 I like Bamba but am I the only one who thinks that he reckons he is better than he is.

I think he was absolutely great several games - but he lost some magic after a while. He is still young for a defender and hopefully he can develop under good management. He also seem to be someone who lifts the teamspirit at least off the field. Nono of the new defenders had it easy last season not only for the changing of the formations but coming into a new club/group in the middle of the season. If he stays which I think he will - let's just hope he will be even better with a preseason with the team.
