First champions to ever be relegated Difficult to sound like anything other than jealousy given the 'fairytale' - and yes I am jealous as well - but there's something very unethical about the club and whatever they have done to get their success.

I wonder how this will pan out for them in the medium term? Are they going to bring in some CL quality players on CL wages? Or are they going to be "just happy to be here" and go as they are? We used even less players than them when we won the league in 81, yes they have been lucky in that aspect I agree, but they haven't been involved in any cup runs as such. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically because they came from out of nowhere this season. There has been one window since Leicester looked like anything bar relegation fodder. We had those 3 consecutive 6th place finishes where our stars were in the shop window for the bigger clubs to poach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think the likes of Arsenal & Man City etc could have picked up one of Schmeical, Vardy, Mahrez, Drinkwater or even Albrighton if only to destabilize their rival going into the second half of the season.

gharperr Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Only mahrez would be worth it for them teams and im pretty convinced that LCFC would happily turn down 40/50m for him in january. If they signed the others (apart from Schmeical, who would always be a very good backup for any of them teams ), in 6 months, the player would be getting slated for being a money grabbing **** for not even being able to get onto the bench. fans will be saying the standard "english players so over priced and over rated, one good season and...", the manager of the team would be slated for signing such poor quality players like drinkwater and albrighton for what they want to achieve Vardy is one helluva a risk for the money they would have to spend to sign a 29 year old. (the amount they would have to spend obviously depends on when he signed the contract extension, i cant remember when) Edited April 12, 2016 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Kante is only young and for me been by far the best midfield player in the Premier League this season, Vardy is having one heck of a season, whether he has the longevity will depend on injuries because he wont loose the attitude and the hunger. He's a bit like Ian Wright. Came from non league football, joined Crystal palace and was a similar age as Vardy is now when he signed for Arsenal and became one of their all time leading goalscorers. Another one Peter Withe 28/9 when he joined us. Edited April 12, 2016 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 its amazing how fickle foreign footy fans are who follow the prem. they are having a lot of support abroad for obvious reasons, but if they have a not so good season next year how many thousands of fans will they lose. this really is a fairy tale for them and i bet they cannot believe whats happening.

Its all the same really. Are foreigners really deciding that theyre full on 100% supporting LCFC? I doubt it...just like many british fans...

ThunderPower_14 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 For all the stuff about people not liking Leicester because their fans are unbearable, surely genuine fans being genuinely unbearable after a fairytale season is better than a subset of the glory hunting masses failing to properly appreciate the magnitude of another league title that 17 Premier League teams were priced out of. Let them enjoy it. They'll probably never win anything again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
