    I can't help feeling we should have kept TC, he's had a great season

    I was gutted we let him go but in all fairness it was unlikely he'd want to sign a new contract. I've watched him a fair few times this season and he has been thoroughly excellent. He's definitely one that got away.

    Hopefully we have a buy back/sell on option in place. He'd be near the top of my transfer targets list this season <laugh>

    Well done Tom. He was always a class player but the move to Blackburn has allowed him to flourish. Too bad we couldn't hang on to him.

    Don't get giddy boys, he's probably (if you were to list the players in the league) not even in the top 25.

    He wasn't going to get in the team ahead of Huddlestone, Livermore or Meyler.

    But it still frustrates that that we spent 3 years in the Championship before those 3 arrived, struggling to find anyone who could play the final ball and make things happen, while Cairney sat on our bench. I said it at the time... Loads of people loved to moan about him back then though "He's got no right foot", "No pace", "Only passes sideways", "Can't tackle or head". Now he's succeeded everyone loved him all along!

    I wouldn't say so, no. He's had an iffy season IMO, but the pundits still love him.

    I've not seen praise from anyone but those who admired him.

    Agreed there were too many short sighted window lickers who couldn't see the player inside him.

    Agree, especially during the first two seasons when we were struggling to score goals.

    Strange how one footedness is only an issue for left footed players and not right too.

    After viewing all your diabolical opinions this season that probably means he's top 5. Your top 25 would probably have about 20 Leicester players.

    To be fair to those who criticised him he definitely needed to be more direct at times where he would always look for a sideways pass. When I have seen him this season he has been playing a more advanced role and looks to be much more incisive.

    He was not good enough for the Prem. FACT.

    Failed to impress Brown, Peo, Barmby or SB.

    That's why he was sold.

    Jamie Vardy better than Jordan Rhodes?

    <laugh>

    And you expect people to take you seriously?

    <laugh>

    What next, Danny Drinkwater is better than Tom Cleverley?
