Hey ho - He never put a killer ball in, we have enough passengers - We need players who are prepared to take a chance on making a difference

Yuki is a great player, it's a shame he's leaving.

I believe it may have more to do with being Homesick, otherwise i think he would've easily become a premier league player.

Good luck to him!

Shame I actually quite like his game I think the different culture and our style of play made it difficult for him to play the way he was used to playing!

To be honest Yuki is/was a steady player, but never anything spectacular. I could never really understand why so many rated him so much.

Certainly not the worst player I’ve ever seen in a Leicester shirt, but I’m not sure he was ever going to be a player who could really take us forward. He never really seemed to have the ability to control a game, which is the type of midfielder we’re crying out for. Hopefully he will be replaced with someone better.

I understand Yuki Abe has left #lcfc and returned to Japan to rejoin Urawa Reds. Speculation Prem clubs were interested, Everton 1 mentioned
Shame really because I liked him and he was a useful squad player and offered good versatility. He had good technical ability and a good football brain but I suppose you could argue he was always a bit too lightweight for the Championship. His job was never to make killer passes; more to combative in midfield and sit in front of the defence. Also (I know it's sad but this is the way football is going) we've lost a good marketing tool for the Asian market as well.

The issue now is that it leaves us with only three fit CM's to call upon and with King's injury seemingly long-term, do we go in for another one or do we trust someone like Moussa or Oakley to step up?

Either way, good luck Yuki

Honest and hardworking player. But we need better if we are to progress.

Shame - rated him.

Very good holding mid-fielder and a loss to the squad, which is becoming increasingly bare.

Need to step up the transfer activity.

I would have thought we needed a new one anyway, in addition to Drinkwater

We do have high opinions of ourselves A Japan international player playing for a championship team?

In a good team he would of worked out better to many players around him that where not on the same wave length.

If he was all the things some posters say he should of been well he would not of signed for us.

I thank him for the Goal and the joyful celebrations of his visiting countryman a highlight in a season of lowlights

Good luck Yuki , I hope you enjoyed your time in leicester.
Sorry to see you leave.

I'm gutted he's left. I'm certain we never really saw the best of him. If he wanted to go home then good luck to him for the future but we've lost a seasoned international who'll be hard to replace.

Good luck , Yuki , you progressed massively for lcfc after your first few games

Great pro and leaves with a lot of respect.

But like others, I think he was good at many roles, but the master of none and the championship just wasn't the league for him.

Like Andy King, he's probably more suited to the premiership where you're not kicked out of every game!

I'm sad to see him go. I've always thought he had the ability, it's just the connection with his teammates that he's lacked.

Still, as other have said - Good honest pro, respectful, and I wish him well for the future.

I never felt he gave less than 100% anytime he played, the timing might have just been wrong for Yuki to make a bigger impact at LCFC.

Did love telling him to shooot along with everyone else.
