If I was Harvey I’d be annoyed at this. Leicester recalled him from his loan last season and then barely used him. What’s to say that it won’t happen again to him? Gray, Ghezzal, Albrighton and Maddison are already at the club and are more established than Harvey is at the moment. How does he going back to sit on the bench or play in the under-23’s help him more than playing for a promotion chasing club and being one of the first names on the team sheet? Mind boggling decision that smacks of desperation to me.
What Darren needs to work out now is the short-term replacement for him. He can bring in Sako on the left or move Rodriguez to the left and put Gayle down the middle or he could move Gibbs forward from left back to left wing with Brunt in at left back or switch to a narrow diamond that doesn’t require wingers.
Long term we have a couple of weeks to spend some actual money on a quality replacement.
