Fox92 Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 Congratulations, a poor player to have played in the tournament. Difference is, Bamba was in the same team as the likes of Drogba, Yaya Toure, Kalou, Gervinhio, Zokora..... It does make me laugh, that for all the people calling Mills and Bamba, that was the best centre half pairing weve had in recent seasons. Djemba Djemba played in the same team as Van Nistelrooy and Roy Keane. Bebe played in the same team as Ronaldo and Rooney. Junior Lewis played in the same team as Muzzy Izzet and Paul Dickov. Yeah, and? Mills and Bamba weren't that good, imo anyway. Brown and Hobbs were better, more solid, as were Morgan and St Ledger earlier in the season.

Fox92 Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 St Ledger solid I do think he is good enough, I just doubt his attitude. When he played regular before picking up an injury, I thought we were ok enough at the back. I recall a couple of clean sheets as well... I certainly think he is better than Whitbread.

AnotherShitSeason Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 We are missing 1 key point here, if we had signed Lewandowski we would have probably turned him shit by crippling his self esteem and confidence overnight The key point in all this (for me at least) is this: ANY DECENT managerial team, with the level of investment afforded to them, would have walked out this league last season. You can blame Sven, Sousa, Neville all you like but Coco & his Delusions of Grandeur shit is not the man for LCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jest buddy, tbf can't really disagree with you. I think he did look ok for a while last season but like you say he has got a sus temperament which I think is a big reason we are supposedly getting rid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 Bamba would've been a top defender if he had a brain. Had the attributes just no footballing brain at all. Not terrible by any means though, good business I'd say to get him for £250k, very nominal wages and then sold on once he demanded loads, for four times what we paid. Good move all round, I'd say.

But the only managerial team to have even come close to promotion back to the PL (since our relegation 10 years ago), is that of NP's. But nobody takes the blame apart from the manager. And NP knows that, he hasn't once tried to avoid that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 14 June 2013 Share Posted 14 June 2013 lol So true... Get fed up of all this 'it wasn't Sven' stuff. He's the manager ffs. When it's Sven, it's Neville's fault, but when it's a Pearson signing, it's Pearson's fault!! Manager is the manager, end of. Embarrassing that people try and defend him in this case. If he didn't oversee it then that is appalling management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is, none of the players you've mentioned were integral to the sides they played in, unlike Bamba for the Ivory Coast. Also, despite the way he played the game and the chances he took, I can't remember him costing us a single goal in his time here. For all his brilliance this season, even big Wes cost us a goal this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugo Sanchez Posted 15 June 2013 Share Posted 15 June 2013 Was yakabu really on 55k a week? That was a strong rumour a few year back. Peter Taylor put Elliot, Savage, Izzet and Lennon on huge contracts. Did they deserve it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleckneymike Posted 15 June 2013 Share Posted 15 June 2013 but how do you know what the wage bill is? It gets published. Taken from foxblogger "The Foxes wage bill rose from £16.6m in 2010/11 to £27.7m in 2011/12. Cutting it back down appears essential to Leicester’s chances of meeting the Financial Fair Play limit."

sylofox Posted 15 June 2013 Share Posted 15 June 2013 But they weren't decent. Bar Nugent, Schmeichel and Naughton (who was a loan so doesn't count). You're right, I don't like him, haven't since he ruined England's best chance of doing anything in a world cup since 66. I knew he'd fail here, and he did. What I didn't expect was just how much of an impact he'd still be having here still. Disaster And it was nothing to do at all with our owners wanting in big names in so they could sell TV rights at home was it. They got sven in his remit was to bring in big names and the wages go with those names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 15 June 2013 Share Posted 15 June 2013 Sven was a bigger disaster to this club than Peter Taylor. We will continue to suffer from his tenure for many seasons to come. It wasn't just Eriksson, put the blame on the owners and the boards, as well. They were the ones willing to buy players at horrendously high prices. Sven merely had a wish list and the rest of the club was blinded by the illusion of immediate success that they didn't really reconsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money don't buy you success, at least not on this level. And when it does, it's either very rare and/or comes with a hefty price to pay (see Cardiff for further reference).
