ozleicester Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 2010 - 2012 will go down as years when we had some of our finest players.. but we never actually saw their best. Good Luck
Head Honcho Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Hang on a sec! If he was as good as so many are making out I'm sure he'd have found another club by now. He was told to look for another club in August!
Swalker Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Feel slightly sorry for him, he was never played in his natural position
Head Honcho Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Is Sousa still in a job? He'll sign him up. He took over as boss at Videoton the Hungarian champions and has managed so far to keep them within 9 points of the current leaders DVSC. Sousa must have the worst team of scouts going.
MPH Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 This news has ruined my day. I know what you mean. Absolutely shocking to hear he has been at the club all this time.....
Guest Col city fan Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 With the departure at long last of Moreno, it really does hammer home that successive managers at City really have signed some utter dross over the past couple of years.. Sousa surely being the worst culprit. You really would have thought with the size of club we are and the money we have had/now have, some better decisions could have been taken on assembling a squad of quality at this level...
Corky Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 I've just noticed, if you split his name up and mix it around it can spell Nomore. So we've got Moreno Nomore. Ahh.
kingfox Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 I feel sorry for this guy. He had to buy a house in scummy England, had to stay for about a season, and he only played five games. He could of been enjoying the sun in his native Portugal, rather than watching the rain fall in the East Midlands. Bye Moreno, im afraid to say you have now fallen into the hall of fame of shite/forgotton midfielders, Andy Johnson, Jason Jarrett, Sergio Hellings and Aman Verma Best wishes Moreno, I hope your time at Leicester haunts you for the rest of your life
StanSP Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 I've just noticed, if you split his name up and mix it around it can spell Nomore. So we've got Moreno Nomore. Ahh. That's called an anagram .
Adster Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Relegation beckons now this has happened. Pearson out, sack the board.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Why couldn't it have been Vitor we signed and Moreno that we had on loan.
Schlupp Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Just let's hope it's a Golf Club aye. Crikey, Sousa bought some rubbish! Tbf to Sousa he brought in players like Abe and Vitor.
StanSP Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Tbf to Sousa he brought in players like Abe and Vitor. To be fair, he did say some
Thracian Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Just pointing out that, in recent years,a fair number of good players have come to our club and completely underperformed........ Up front Gradel, Campbell and now Beckford have comprehensively failed to live up to expectations, it took us about 6 months (last season) to work out that Vitor was comfortably the best defender at the club and this season we have had an international, ex EPL defensive midfield player who could barely get a game...... Kermorgant, for example, has scored 7 in just 13 starts for Charlton, would be a far better option than Howard as someone to lead the line and bring players like Beckford into the game, might even score a few too but like so many others he was never given the chance. Less than a couple of weeks ago we had two virtual debutants come in and play well, contributing to an excellent result and a better than usual performance, how many other players have fallen through the cracks due to the lack of opportunity? It's frightening for so many reasons ... in terms of our "scouting" decisions, our team planning. our lack of ability to get the best out of people and the irresponsible way we throw money away. Our so-called "professional" management has mostly been a laughing stock for years and there's a long way to go before the latest lot convince me they're any better. For all our wonderful facilities, state of the art equipment, and seemingly every kind of expert imaginable (except, it would seem, an attacking coach and a genuine motivator) our club is way off having the spirit of potential achievers, let alone champions. You get the impression the club wants to set standards of excellence but you need truly inspirational leadership and vision for that to happen. People like that don't get bullied or lead by anyone and they don't need to buy over-priced superstars either because they're well able to make the most ordinary footballers perform like heroes anyway. They see what people are good at and bring it out in them. Ferguson, Shankly, Clough, Revie at Leeds, Nicholson at Spurs...they all fielded hard, ruthless teams but they made people shine. Even people who weren't inclined to shine. But we have none of that. We have no philosophy for a start. We don't stand for anything. Ferguson stood for attacking, Revie stood for passing, George Graham stood for unyielding and uncompromising defence, Wenger stands for the beauty of the game, Shankly stood for his passion as expressed in those three immortal words "This is Anfield", Nicholson stood for "Push and Run" but we stand for nothing. We have nothing to love...we don't even love winning, otherwise we'd never have come away goalless from Nottingham. Those chances weren't wasted because our players were incapable of taking them. They were missed because no-one looked into the eyes of our players before the match, expressed his complete belief in them and told them that chances should be treated with the coldness of an assassin plunging a knife into the guy who killed his daughter. Managers have to get into people's minds and players need to know that the manager understands everything they think and everything they do on a football field and that, no matter the problem, he will know or find the answer and it won't be to throw them on the sodding scrapheap. Players have to know for certain that whatever they are capable of, the manager will get it out of them and more they didn't even know they had. Players shoudn't go out on the pitch scared of having a bad 'un, concerned about the opposition's right winger, or worried because they haven't scored for weeks. They should go out onto the pitch believing in their manager, their cause, their team-mates, the love of their job and in themselves. The only way to win things is to stand for something. Unfortunately the players you've mentioned and so many more who've underperformed, are testimony to how far we've fallen short of those ideals.

Pearsons known for "a well organised defence" the pundits love to use that one when talking about us. I don't think we've be that organised with Sol in there (and that's not a dig a Sol) as he obviously brings other things to the table. Pearson will get it right eventually.
bluearmyfox23 Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 NO NO NO HOW DARE OUR CLUB DO THIS TO US, I WILL NEVER SHOW MY FACE AT THE KP AGAIN, but on a serious note I do feel sorry for him and I hope he finds a new club in england !'
LCFC BEAST Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 I actually really like Moreno. He was my favourite player last season (when he played that is). This is actually without any sarcasm. Goodbye Moreno, you will forever be in my heart
Legend_in_blue Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 If you're after a comedy centre half, look no further.
Ozwin Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Fight and you may tackle him. Run, and you'll probably out-sprint him. Jump and chances are you'll win the header. But dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the players, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our opposition that they may take our Kisnorbos, hell they can take our Gareth McAuley's, what the hell they can even take our Robbie Nielsons...but they'll never take... OUR MORENO!! You know what? **** it, just have him.
Narborough_fox Posted 13 January 2012 Posted 13 January 2012 Why just why? Hasn't made a mistake all season and has even won silverware! Not happy Nigel.

We definitely stand for something .... I get up at half time and stand in a queue.
