If Leicester City had pulled this off this would have been one of the most shocking January transfers off all time.

Glad it didn't work out, as I think Danny Drinkwater has been fantastic this season and as great as Ronaldinho was in his prime he's past it in terms in EPL, plus LCFC players average ages are actually too old . Ranieri's flaw long term will be bringing in aged players such as Inler, Fuchs and not enough in youth despite youth Chilwell and Grays rise. Although on other hand seeing as Leicester hero Linkeker is on TV, and Alan Smith a pundit, Leicester do need to build up their roster of legendary ex players who can be future ambassadors, managers, coaches and maybe Ronaldinho could have been a future manager or youth coach ala Zidaine and Real. Arsenal stupidly didn't get Viera to join the "Arsenal family " as a coach despite playing for several seasons and being a captain and now he's firmly part of Man City's City group despite only playing there for merely a season. Legacy and building up a family of ex players like Man U's class of '92 will be more important in future. Hiddink's previous track record as interim manager and Drogba's presence as an "enforcer" at Chelsea post Mourinho has really helped steady the ship and put the " three rats" Costa, Fabregas and Hazard in their place.

This Leicester snub shows how much Ronaldinho is desperate for a final lucrative payday in China as he would have landed a possible "easy" EPL title without having to do much just play for last 20 mins when Leicester are 3-0 up against Norwich, Sunderland or Swansea and bang in a cheap 4th goal.
