If this came across as a dig then please accept my apologies.

I did come across as a dig and I accept your apology. I respect you for apologising, unlike YH who thinks it's clearly ok 👍

Anyone would think I want these hangers on ruining every thread but clearly I don't want that, I just want to talk about football and it's being made impossible. I don't understand why the wums just don't get deleted? I did create a thread about the author of articles deleting wums so they'd get bored but it's not happened???!

Fanatastic just what i wanted another Arro thread over to you guys knock yourselves out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was talking football as always, DIDNT slag off any other teams, spoke purely about LCFC, pointed out Aries was just a wum who had no interest in discussing the article and requested that he didn't respond and ruin the thread but his ego wouldnt allow that and he had to respond! Why don't you have a word with all these WUMS Nev? Or just delete them and they will soon get bored!

If you think I want this then you're nuts but I can't delete comments on your threads so you do it 👍

I didn't see it as a dig as the point I was making was that it's a great time to be a Foxes fan apart from your good self who can't come on here without resorting to intentionally or not having a go at people and therefore generating a ridiculous repetitive thread.
I didn't see it as a dig, but hey that's my opinion.

I also think you are being very simplistic and harsh regarding CR comments about Krameric and a new striker.
It is obvious that Ranieri didn't rate Krameric's work rate, and therefore thought it was detrimental to our work rate and team spirit/ethos that we have built up. All positives that you have praised CR for.
As for stating that Ranieri will " forgo quality as long as the striker will run, run and run" you are missing the point. You know as well as I that quality is at the top if his requirements BUT he wants a striker who will put a shift in for the team and not just hang around on the half way line.

What's legging it from the opposition box to his own box, to prevent a certain goal, if not a show of the intention to work hard? It wasn't even his job. He was attacking their six yard box but obviously wanted to work hard for the team and for me, showed the perfect attitude for this team. Just my opinion of course.

Ranieri was very clear in his reasoning. He said he worked hard in training and had a good attitude but he clearly doesn't have the energy levels that Ulloa has and that's why Ulloa is getting the nod. He spelt it out so there is no confusion. Very transparent.

Kramaric has more quality but lacks the energy of other players and that has nothing to do with not wanting to, he simply can't and needs to "rest to recover". So quality is forgiven for someone who can "run run run" and I'm not sure how that can be debated when it's exactly what Ranieri said?

You have highlighted ONE example of AK running back, that was the only time he showed that on a City shirt.
Ranieri didn't say he was forgoing quality over running/fitness, he wants a player that brings both to the team.

I highlighted one example because that's about all he's had.

Ulloa doesn't bring quality, he can't pass a ball, can't win a header, can't hold it up and can't score, he brings work rate and a physical presence but he does nothing.

Maybe Ranieri does want someone with both but at the moment he is favouring work rate for quality.

But surely favouring work rate over quality is like favouring Vardy over Ronaldo? 😉

I'd agree but there you have an attitude problem too and someone who has tantrums when teammates score.

In this instance I will sacrifice quality and work rate for a better attitude, so Kramaric! I can't stand Ronaldo and don't care about his quality.

A bit of a tidy up everyone welcome to talk football if you want to have a go at other teams or Arro please look elsewhere. Krami had a clause in his contract that meant we had a another £1m+ to pay if he played those to games for us.
CR obvioulsy has someone lined up to replace him.
Krami will havd more value after the Euros if he does well so we can either sell him or bring him back. As for the running back thing we have had enough Howards, Nugents etc who get in for hard work we need premiership goal scorers UTF's

The point about the extra payment was one I voiced on a previous thread, so I completely understand him not even being named on the bench.
We may have wealthy owners but they are not stupid enough to throw money away like this.
We will see this new striker within the next 7 days and then we can forget all this AK talk until the end of the season.
