Zatman Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Yes they are all champions from top 7 ranked leagues plus holders are, will get through groups I imagine though some tricky teams in Pot 2 like Atletico, Dortmund and Sevilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Yeah would back them to get through and then lose to a decent team in last 16...will probably suit them as they won't drop into europa league then. Their league form will suffer regardless though, let's not forget they went out of both cups early last season so were just playing once a week.

PaulC Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Yes but they have brought in extra players to cover the eventuality of more games. So far only Kante has left. Mahrez will prob stay for another year Edited August 2, 2016 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 There's fresh reports today but looking into it, Arsenal fans are skeptical because the exact same thing has been reported several times already this summer and nothing has happened so far. Although the story this time is that he's met with Wenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 They have largely the same squad as last season, except Kante is gone which obviously is a massive loss. Hopefully Mendy can do a good job for them because otherwise Leicester will not be anywhere top 4. I do rate their signings though. Musa can play multiple spots and is obviously a great counter attacking player. Zieler is a great back up or starter to have. Kasputska was also a steal. He is a talent. Plus Leicester have some younger players who have looked pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal will be linked to all manner of players and then Wenger will sign a 14yo African on deadline day, As for LCFC, I think they'll be over the moon with top 4 this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 A top 6 finish and to qualify for the knockout stages of the champions league would represent a good follow up season for them. Can't afford to loose Mahrez though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) should be over the moon competing for Europa league spots even if they miss out,,, Edited August 2, 2016 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I bet a bag of quavers they won't finish top half. Edited August 2, 2016 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Doubt very much they will finish top 6 but they could finish top half. They have a fantastic owner who has done a phenomenonal job and hired a brilliant and likeable manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I think they'll be alongside Everton, Stoke and Southampton fighting to see who rounds off the top 10 it was a mental thing that kept them going last year, a near unparalleled work rate and consistency when everyone else in the prem was almost embarrassing in terms of theirs, don't see how they can maintain it now they've reached the top, Claudio can try and give it as many "the hard work starts now" pep talks as he likes but in reality the players know what they did was incredible and it's almost inevitable they'll relax it a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
