      Not sure why Arsenal didn’t get him in the end. I agree about Ox. Wayy too injury prone over the years.

    As a LCFC fan, he will score some worldies but unless he’s motivated they will not be impressed.

    I think Leicester fans think of him fondly because of how well he started and the FA cup win but since the FA cup he’s been very unmotivated and it says a lot that 2 years ago he was linked to Man U and Real and now he’s at Villa.
