cc_star Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Gutted. One of the few players to show any real passion and connect with the fans. A massive part of the promotion winning campaign. Could tell how much promotion meant to him and this season has gone down for him like a lead balloon. Nothing against Andy King but I don't get how Andy King walks in to the squad week in - week out and the likes of Knockaert don't get a look in. The one game where Knockaert starts (at home against Aston Villa) we get 3 points. Not true, opening day Vs Everton for example he was abysmal... Although it fitted the moron's view to blame RDL when it was actually Knocky.... Shows how far beating your chest goes with the fans. Not saying he couldn't have played more often, especially given some people's continued performance levels, but in his 11 appearances this season I can't remember anything of note to suggest he should be in more often than he has been and conversely his lack of pace could have caused us a whole load more problems like on the opening day
HoustonFox Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Posted before that Ulloa is in a house on a rolling contract and is expected to be out in the summer (house is on the market and if sold the new owner takes him on as a short term tennant) Kramaric is onlty commited to his flat until the summer. May mean bugger all but they are not being held here for that reason. If Ulloa's house is on the market, surely that's the reason he is on a rolling contract, not the other way round?) Krama only just moved hear so expected he had a short term lease as he susses out the area... That's normal for people moving for work to a new country. On to Knocky leaving, I'm sad he is going (if he permanently goes) as he always added some excitement to the proceedings when he was on the pitch (can't remember how long it was since I last saw a Leicester player do a stepover before he arrived!). The fact of the matter though is that he's just not cut it at this level. We even glimpsed that with less playing time last season once Mahrez came in, so I'm not sure why it's such a major surprise to most.
Patrick Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Another player mismanaged by Pearson, shame as he was easily one of our most impressive players last season.

You're thinking just like NP.
cc_star Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Another player mismanaged by Pearson, shame as he was easily one of our most impressive players last season. When he was managed by whom? Mourinho, SAF, Dyche? Christ! Perhaps he found his limit by being a contributing player at a performing 2nd tier team The way some people are going on it's like we're letting Ronaldo go ON LOAN

Remember him testing Howard from 30 yards in the first half of that game. Fair enough he slipped for one of the goals but no more abysmal than some of our other players over the course of this season.

Both were world class.
cc_star Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Let's be honest, can he be blamed for the Everton goals? Both were world class. Class strikes, but those opportunities needn't have come about were we on our game better during the build up. However, while he's implicated in that game... it's not like anyone else has done much better since... What got me at the time is that I thought we were better than that
Ely fox Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 I would definetely have him on the bench, but it will do him good to play for the tractor boys down at Portman Rd.
theessexfox Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 What the hell chance has he had this season?
sylofox Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 I would definetely have him on the bench, but it will do him good to play for the tractor boys down at Portman Rd. It will do him good. He can then return to empty his locker for good

What got me at the time is that I thought we were better than that Suppose it's about at the time as you say. But my god have we conceded some poora goals since. At least everton turned us inside out for them chances.

Guest MattP Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Absolute ****ing joke!!!! Not even given a fair chance in the prem!! cannot believe Pearsons handling of him this season. But still ****ing Jeff Schlupp will be starting in midfield. Another one that got away! Knockaert will be playing at a much higher level than Leicester City in 2/3 years time! open youre ****ing eyes Nige! He really won't, he just isn't that good. Classic case of a fans favourite out the side this, ridiculous levels of exaggeration of his actual ability. One decent game against an awful Villa side, every other appearance he's looked nowhere near the level required.
Stadt Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Yeah I wish he was as good as some of you are saying
David Hankey Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Knocky will do someone some good somewhere unfortunately, for whatever reason, it's not happened for him here this season.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 gutted, I genuinely beilieve he can be part of our best team. Good luck to him at Ipswich
Swiss_tony Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 we're a stepping stone for him .... just like stearman and mattock.
Vicki Vixen Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Anthony's first interview with Radio Suffolk: "Ipswich is great club, I want to help fire them back in to Premier League and that will give me springboard to sign contract at a bigger club like the magnifique yellow birds of Norwich. I like it a lot because it is close to the St Pancras of London with rapid transit to Paris. I don't want to ever return to Leicester, it is idiot"
Matt Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Fair play to him, whether he has asked to go elsewhere or not is a question i'd like answering, because if I were him i'd be trying to engineer moves elsewhere, infact I think i'd have handed a transfer request in by now, that goes for other certain players who are having their noses put out of joint. Fuck this shit of having to be a favourite to play no matter how many mistakes or points they cost us. Sad to see him go, but wish him all the best, not sure we'll see him in a Leicester shirt again.
johnny the fox Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 Im gutted.. he will always be Leicester though..
nettle Posted 23 February 2015 Posted 23 February 2015 When he first came here he was like a breath of fresh air. Skilful took players on got you out of your seat sort of player I like watching. Shame he hasn't had much of a look in this year I'll be sorry to see him go.
