Villatillidie95 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 19 hours ago, Rds1983 said: Curious why you think this is a decent appointment? I dont know much about him but he doesn't seem to have much experience. Did Well with City's development squad but that's a hard job not to do well with. He seems to have failed with Parma and had to quickly return to City. Not sure why they didn't get Dean or Parker as they know the league and have been successful in it. I thought that as a disciple of pep, he might have that same ability as Arteta/Kompany, who also learnt from him, to cajole a squad and get them out of a rut, similar to the burnley situation. kompany has got them playing some nice stuff and will obviously have to adapt their style of play for the premier league, but leicester will have a top budget and think it could turn out to be a shrewd appointment. Dean would have done well in the championship too, parker always seems to fall out with ownership or players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepyvillian Posted July 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2023 Absolutely delighted that they are signing Arjan Raikhy. I was really hoping he would make it with us, but sadly, it wasn't to be. He was the one player who stood out for me in that Youth cup victory and I began to think that at last, considering the large Punjabi community in the surrounding area, we would have a player to put a big smile on the faces of those lovely Punjabi Villans. Still, I'm sure the Leicester Punjabi community will be delighted in the player they have got. He showed a lot of maturity for one so young and my only concern was a lack of pace, it will be interesting to see how he goes. I wish him well, as I'm sure do many others. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) I'm not sure Leicester is the best move for him, will likely play for their U21s but really could do with first team football, can't help but think even a move to a lower league side as long as he was going to play for their first team would have been better for the longer term, Still it's a much better move than most released academy players will get, a challenge to try and break into their first team, so a good opportunity for him.

duke313 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Basically swapping Tielemams for Raikhy, some change in circumstances for both clubs in the past few years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Raikhy is being bought for their U21s, he will have to do very well to make their first team squad, would be like us selling Buendia and then saying we've swapped Buendia for Rico Richards, Harry Winks is more of a Tielemans replacement.

Happily winning the League and European cup and being relegated four years later would suggest we'd take it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing of note, maybe a cup run where we get to the quarters or semis once a decade, perhaps the odd player good enough for england as soon as we sell them, but other than that nothing to get people needlessly excited or happy. Perhaps a big season around the year 2035 where everyone’s fully engaged because we have a new badge but slightly fluff the whole thing and end up with a couple of badges as a holding exercise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 All in their heads isn't it, forget the names they underperformed, underinvestment seeming lack of ambition and going nowhere paired with a manager who stank the place out too long, players were phoning it in That's why I think either West ham or wolves will do the same this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them must be leaving in next few weeks. That bench is stronger than what they're putting out. Vardy and Winks past it and Vestegaard is incredible selection considering he's played seemingly two games for them in last two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
