Leicester City have endured a succession of truly atrocious signings over the past four years; a period defined by questionable recruitment strategies and baffling miscalculations in the transfer market. Even before this recent descent into mediocrity, King Power Stadium welcomed a series of unwelcome additions, leaving many within the faithful wondering if the club's scouting department had entirely abandoned their senses.
Does the Foxes faithful recall that infamous summer when only one desperate, eleventh-hour afterthought was ushered through the door? That singular arrival was none other than the infuriating Wout Faes; a player whose introduction to the side felt less like a strategic acquisition and more like a cop-out and a panicked roll of the dice.
Consider the sheer financial negligence involved in paying approximately £15 million for an awkward, lumbering defender like Jannik Vestergaard. What is chief football officer Jon Rudkin's inexplicable actual obsession with Southampton?!
Indeed, Leicester City have absorbed a plethora of ineffective, overpaid athletes from the Saints in the modern era. With Ryan Bertrand and Joe Aribo serving as further exhibits of this profound incompetence and inexplicable planning.
However, the catalogue of failure does not conclude there for the contemporary City, as the capture of Jordan Ayew left anyone with even a fleeting understanding of the game utterly mind-boggled and incredulous. To have hired such a player when Premier League survival hung in the balance was an astonishing act of shortsightedness, further exacerbated by the ill-advised decision to bestow the iconic Jamie Vardy's No.9 shirt upon him. 'LOL'.
"There’s no rush”3Sports
🇬🇭 Jordan Ayew speaks on finding a new club after Leicester City confirmed that they will not be renewing his contract.
He says he is focused on the World Cup."
This campaign, The former Crystal Palace makeweight established a lamentable new nadir for effort, concentration and tangible output. Occasionally, he didn't even thank attending supporters. The veteran's meagre goal tally of six in the EFL Championship proved unforgivable, serving as a significant catalyst in the LCFC's eventual, painful undoing.
Ex-Leicester City forward Jordan Ayew at the World Cup
For the 34-year-old to be named amongst an amazingly gifted, glittering Ghana World Cup squad is shocking to say the least. Now that Ayew has left Leicestershire, at least the support can now laugh instead of crying.
"Ayew, 34, will leave Leicester at the end of his contract this summer but will captain the Black Stars, who are in Group L along with England, Croatia and Panama."BBC Sport
This writer pities the player who lost his place to Ayew, apparently unfairly. The so-called attacker has also revealed he'll find a new club after the international tournament.
What are the odds that Ayew ultimately compounds LCFC fan distrust by scoring against England?! At least with that Golden Boot he'll have no problem finding a fresh team to compromise!
