TBG Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Shocking from the club. Can't believe they're going to leave Dan locked away in a shed with no access to the outside world until his contract ends which will then and only then, allow him to communicate with others.

nbthree3 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 If the first thing that comes up with a search is this she can't be that bad a choice https://www.lcfc.com/news/2267094/lcfc-double-at-football-business-awards-as-susan-whelan-is-named-ceo-of-the-year Leicester City’s Susan Whelan was named CEO of the Year at the 2021 Football Business Awards in London on Thursday, as the Club celebrated a number of commendations from its industry peers.

Didn’t know, he’s probably the biggest regret of my time following this club, I watched him in the under 21 WC and he was by far the best player in the tournament, I thought we’d signed a potential superstar. He was so elegant on the ball, today I think he’d make it here in the PL, at the time, however, it was more hustle bustle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I do know Gary Speed looked after him and he struggled being away from home and also often being played in a few positions. Great player or talent, wrong fit, wrong club, at the time sadly. I remember fondly some of his cameos though, what a lush player on his day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so excited for him, I heard he was the next big thing, as good as the next Ronaldinho type of signing. Very much like Almirón, he has the ability, but it just wouldn’t work here.

Wouldn't be surprised and wouldn't begrudge it either. From one of the most highly touted teenagers in football to a forgotten man in four years. One of the biggest shames in my time as a fan as far as players not working out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Wrong era. Always said he’d have been class in this day of three man midfields. He was unlucky that the PL was still mainly 4-4-2 as he wasn’t a left-winger or suited to a two man midfield. 5 years before his time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 It was going ok for him here and then he dislocated his shoulder, had to have it pinned back.. then when he was nearly back it happened again so he missed a chunk.. when he did come back he wasn’t the same and the final nail was that sort of half hearted jump to try and stop Drogba when we played Marseille, where he just sort of flattened him and ran on to score the goal that knocked us out. He did a few good things in his time here but overall I think us wanting him to do well outweighed how he actually played for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sometimes played him in a midfield where he was the middle man ahead of Speed with Jenas and Dyer and we looked good, but Sir Bobby was a 4-4-2 man at heart and Viana was never suited to that formation at all.

OCK Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I served Viana once when he popped into the Virgin Megastore with his Mam. We had a bunch of his bobbleheads on the counter. Good times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenas, Bellamy and Dyer spoke similar about Speed. What a player and more so a man he was. When he was Wales’ manager I thought one day he’d end up here and be a success Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
