Fox92 Posted 12 June 2013 Share Posted 12 June 2013 Drinkwater= Useless unimaginative hoofer. Get rid asap. Towards the end of the season, yes, I agree. But at the start of the season, Drinkwater would drive with the ball and had the ability to dominate games, Sheffield Wednesday away as a great example. His ability and/or attitude seems to have changed and he doesn't look like the player he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzerfox Posted 12 June 2013 Share Posted 12 June 2013 They mention on Bentleys Roof that Drinkwater has handed in a transfer request as he is not happy with the way things are going or being ran. Not sure how trues this is mind. http://fansonline.net/leicestercity/mb/view.php?id=625449 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted 13 June 2013 Share Posted 13 June 2013 Agree with you on Vardy- looked good for the first few games. Then got injured and never regained form or confidence. If we're relying on him to get us a bag load of goals at this level I'm not so sure, but I do think we will keep him and he will get opportunities. Disagree on Futacs- he's hopeless I'm afraid. No way he will feature next season You say that about Futacs but he hardly played for us last season at all that I know of and he looked Pompey's best player on the park the season before against us at KP - when we struggled to a 1-1 draw at home against the team to eventually be relegated from the Championship at the end of that season of course! I'm certainly not saying he's the best thing since the dawn of time by any means but you get the familiar age old feeling that if we sold him on to another club in our division that he'd then fully realise his potential and come back to haunt us! Given more time and a decent run in the team then he could possibly be a lot better than people are giving him/gave him credit for! The fact that he seems to be on the retained list for next season perhaps further underlines that fact........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 ARGH ffs doesn't anybody want these twats? They're not that shit. Can't we offer to help the buying team with the wages for a bit or something?

AnotherShitSeason Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 Overpaid and priced out of a lot of club's who be interested budget I'd guess. Expect to see a lot of them still here next season. Turning up to collect their ££ yet knowing they're not really wanted. Can you see Beckford / Danns etc "giving 200%" in a City shirt under these circumstances? No is the realists answer. My predicted final league position for the 2013-2014 season = 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry - LCFC Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 Yes, he's had 18 months to get rid of these players. If players are on contract and simply say 'no' you cannot force them to leave. It's as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCCHRIS Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 Nobody is going to want them on the wages that they are on, if we pay there contracts off they will sign ona free to other clubs on alot less wages having collected their payoff. If we keep them they wont give 100% and arent good enough anyway. May have to loan them out i cover some of their wages or use them as last resort backups (expcept drinkwater doubt he'll go unless he and pearsom have fell out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie1999 Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 What i don't get is we signed these players before ffp and now that the rules have changed, why are we still committed to honouring their contracts. Surely there must be a rule in ffp that allows a club to rewrite players' contracts to bring that contract into line with a club being self sustainable, especially in the interim period that changes over from the old system to the new. Another thing is there's going to be an awful lot of players that will suddenly find themselves without a club in the next couple of years because clubs will be looking to bring more academy players into the first team due to the club being able to dictate their wage. Could be the end of the journeymen era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock2612 Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 I remember approx 2 years ago the Forest owner (since died) said he could not understand what Leicester were doing and that we must be one of the few clubs who didnot know that the FFP were on the way and that we were storing up problems for the future.When I posted this no one agreed.People said the owners could offer the club a huge sponsership etc He was right and I fear that if we cannot get rid of the unwanted players it will be long hard season,with a mid-table finish. I then begin to wonder how long the owners will want to keep pumping money into a loss making club with little chance of being paid back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
