Kaebi Gone/Going!!

[M17TT C]

Bit of a disappointment to see him go after such a brief period at the club, hopefully another Championship team don't pick him up because it is obvious that he will only score the winner for them!!

Leicester Let Hossein Kaebi Go

Iran international, Hossein Kaebi, has been released by Leicester City, after failing to settle in at the championship club.

Kaebi who made two successive starts for Leicester last week is one of seven players to have been released by the Foxes after being deemed surplus to requirements by coach Ian Holloway.


The 22 year-old joined the club in the summer from Iranian giants Persepolis and has been linked with a move back to his old club.


Leicester boss, Ian Holloway told reporters: “I feel for them. They need to get on with their lives. They did not have a future here, and I wish them the best of luck. I have sent them away from now until the transfer window opens so that they can try to get themselves fixed up with moves or trials at other clubs.”


Holloway made it clear last week that he was looking to make changes to his squad in the January transfer window.


"There'll be some who won't be here for Christmas, I'll be sending them home. Their agents will be told to try and get something for January. I think that's the easiest thing I can do. I've already brought one or two trialists in who have lifted the group because they're hungry, they want to play, they want a chance and they're already showing that."


Holloway had expressed his frustration with Kaebi’s poor English, despite the Iranian moving to England several months ago.


Kaebi was one of the 14 players who moved to Leicester in the summer, but five of these players have now been released.


The Foxes currently linger near the foot of the table and need to quickly improve their form if they are to climb up the table away from the drop zone.

Nothing we didn't already know, although people keep reporting that we've "released" players, when that's not really the case. We've told them they can go, but if no one wants them (or even if they do), we may end up having to pay them off. They're still our players for the time being.

Its (unfortunately) the same situation as we have had with Maybury, Douglas et all...until we manage to find some idiot "green" manager to take them on we are stuck with them unless we pay the contracts off.

OK so far. Only just gone online, unlike some of the sad people who have been on here all day

Oh, thankfully I cant be included in that :icon_lol:

 

[foxin_oz]

I have not. And anyway it's Boxing day here. As for Kaebi I don't have any feelings one way or another. We had high hopes for him, being an International and all, but maybe the language barrier was too big a hurdle for him? He'd probably do okay somewhere else playing in a league that isn't so physically demanding. That's one right back gone, there's a few more to get rid of too I'd say.

It is here now.

I must be a slow typist ... :icon_bigg

I'm pretty sure Kaebi is on a two years contract. How much did we pay for him, undisclosed fee maybe?

Properly millions - of which about £50k went to the Iranian club and the rest went from Leicester's bank account into a special resting place

He's obviously not cut out for Championship football. I doubt we have anything to worry about there.

Absolutely.

Sometime ago I suggested that he wasn't big and stong enough to play in this league. Someone rightly pointed out that ability is the main issue. However, someone of Kaebi's physique would have to be really exceptional to cut it in the fizzy league - and I don't think he fits that category.

I disagree, it wasn't proper at all :icon_wink

In your opinion Shaun W-P wouldn't cut it in this league?
