Why Leicester boss doesn't use Buonanotte as one Fox set to leave

You have probably noticed Leicester City have an absolutely quality attacking player who is constantly on the substitute's bench. Some observers in the Blue Army believe Foxes manager Ruud van Nistelrooy doesn't really like or rate Facundo Buonanotte. However many of City's fans, including myself, think the Brighton & Hove Albion loanee would help the team as a starter.

I mean, the Dutchman is giving questionable starts to inconsistent squad members such as Jordan Ayew. Which is just one selection matter I'd like addressing. So why doesn't van Nistelrooy deploy Buonanotte for further impactful minutes? This is especially noticeable when LCFC are desperate for goals whilst other misfiring forwards continue playing on.

In addition to having a look at that King Power story, we cast our eyes on another issue the Foxes have. One or two people on the roster are not required - a couple of them are totally unneeded. You could say that a few footballers on the east Midlands outfit's books are stealing a great living. Another indictment illuminating how badly the club is run. At least somebody will be off the payroll soon. But which Fox who is surplus to requirements will probably leave in the summer?

Leicester City boss has previously revealed reasons for disregarding Facundo Buonanotte

If you're anything like me, you'll have been wondering why the talented Argentine isn't in the XI. Well, van Nistelrooy has given an explanation; Bilal El Khannouss' rise is an obvious factor too:

"The disappointing thing in that sense is that the two loans are not making those minutes that you want and strengthening the team in that sense." His chances have perhaps been harmed by his lack of impact as a substitute in recent games.For van Nistelrooy, it’s a matter of a lack of consistency, something he believes is inevitable for a 20-year-old"RvN followed by LCFC Live

Daniel Iversen finally likely on his way out

Iversen should have been sold by now. Even a loan would have been preferable to being in the footballing wilderness of course. But that's the modern LCFC for you: wasting money and reluctant to spend it wisely. Here is the report:

"The report states that the Lilywhites [Preston North End] want to sign Iversen in the summer following previous loan spells at the club. Iversen is out of contract in the summer, and it looks as though his career at the King Power Stadium is over"
