Sacramento Republic would have a certain symmetry about it.
Naturally we look at this from a Leicester perspective, but from the player's perspective maybe having been released by Inter he felt he needed to make a point to optimise the last phase of his career. So he takes the only available opportunity to play in the PL and can now cash in on his success with us. He probably has wider options than a year ago and more choice about where he wants to play. Good luck to him. I doubt whether spending more than a season with Leicester was ever a serious consideration.My memory at the time he signed was that he was only prepared to sign for one year. We obviously knew how good he was otherwise why offer a 34old who has never played in the Prem any sort of contract. I am sure we would have offered him 2 or even 3 years, then and now, with player/coach and a truck load of money. I cannot see Villa making him a better offer than we would have.

I love my club, but sometimes the people who run it make me puke
Scandalous rip-off bastards
Made me laugh. Classic.Where's the autographed £2.99 Pea Son memorial teapot cosy?

Strange choice for me. Yes it's champions league football but it's not a team with a realistic chance of doing anything in it and he has been there done that. Also I'm sure he could have earned more in the MLS.
Plus, the Greek economy is hardly the most reliable....
Not that I'm bitter. Least he didn't go to Villa!
