I doubt we would pull that amount if we had won it. Although come to think of it we may get 1 billion now that Tony Xia took over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Looks like what happened to us is now happening to leicester vardy to arsenal, and apparently they going for mahrez too Kante being chased by PSG They are going to badly struggle next season if these players leave. can see them being bottom half or even fighting relegation with CL football as well.

Not looking good for them and just shows, even being Champions, players (and especially their agents) will be drawn to the bigger contracts at 'bigger' clubs (who are in the Sky clique) They're in a tough position right now, bizarrely, whoever they buy will be at a premium (as the selling club will want to exploit the new money deal) and demand huge wages because they're a Champions League team. The new signings will have to hit the ground running as I would put some credence in last years success being down to having an organised team of players with a nucleas that had been together for several seasons. Swapping and changing players (especially arguably their best 3 players, Vardy, Mahrez and Kante) will potentially disrupt the squad harmony and all that was good about the team ethic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Yes we'll really see how good Ranieri is now. Last season was a fantasy year for them but this is the real reality of football catching up. No doubt there still in a good position as they'll have tons of money but who hasn't these days ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they actually achieved something....bit different to finishing 6th. I could live with half our team leaving if it meant winning the FA cup for example. Yep CL campaign becomes much more difficult now....I'm sure they'll sign a couple of big name players but you lose that special team spirit don't you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win the league then finish 17th I don't think Leicester fans will be pleased with that. Its going to be a tough season for them next season as teams wont take them lightly and i expect the big boys will all be gunning for their position in top four again.

chrisvilla4 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 It's all a bit sad imo. We couldn't keep players because we were a "nearly" team. If Leicester can't keep players after winning the league and gaining cl qualification , well, what more can you do? I know it's not as simple as that but it's still rubbish! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 6, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2016 Yeah I'd love it for the Leicester players to give them one more season. See if they can really build on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Their signings this summer will make or break this club. I hate to see the player's jumping ship so easily though. Leicester were so dominant last season, and they could make a splash in the champs league. At least stick around one more season and see how they fair in the champs league. Come on.

PaulC Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I can't understand why this is going on before the euros. Surely Vardy needs to focus on England and England only right now. It cant help his focus. Tell Arsenal he'll make his decision after the euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
