I’m sorry but this is just complete and utter bollox. He was completely missing in action after the World Cup. He gift wrapped Bournemouth 3 points, he gave a mugger a chance against Everton with his Pride week penalty. He is a Coventry fan, not a Leicester fan and his priority is brand Maddison, not Leicester City. Nobody held guns to the heads of Maddison or Barnes for that matter forcing them to leave.I think Madders is the least blameworthy. He stood out as our best and
most committed player and his form forced Gareth to play him for England.
If anything he overestimated the fight the rest of the team was prepared to offer
in his 'we will be fine' comment.
He was a LC man through and through (like Barnsey)
and was devastated to leave.
To have such talented players forced to leave to balance the books is the real crime.
The big clubs unload their worst players and the not so elite have to unload their best players.
There will be others who will enrich themselves and our club but having to climb the
mountain all over again is gutting.
No denying the previous season and first half of last season he was our best player but he always went missing when the going got tough (both champs league run ins he was injured or useless throughout).
He can go fuck himself.
