Don't think Vardy has scored since the double against us. Missed a tap in last night. Kante and Mahrez continue to show their class. I think Vardy is a one season wonder.

I had that view initially, but I've changed my mind since.Originally posted by Vermilion View PostI dunno, i think i'd rather a super rich team like Citeh buy it again.
Otherwise, when we win with it with Klopp, people will just say, ha! wow wee! Leicester won it with Ranieri, it aint no big deal.
What Leicester winning the league does is give everyone the motivation to have a go, to really focus on what it takes to build a team, and give it your best shot.
Everyone knows that the players and manager that wins the league for us will be immortalised.
We've been involved in the greatest Champions League Final and FA Cup Final.
Porto won the Champions League the year before we won it. And we still did it in absolute style.
I've no doubt that when our time comes, we'll do it in our own special way, that ranks up there with the best.

I was thinking the same thing myself re Vardy, he really is the epitome of a one season wonder ala Ricketts, Beni McCarthy, Bridges or Michu. Mahrez on the other hand looks the real deal, i watched most of the game the other night and he always looked likely to come up with a bit of magic and so he did.Originally posted by G View PostDon't think Vardy has scored since the double against us.

If you look at Leicester's template it suits Vardy on the counter with his pace and workrate, now imagine he got the big money move to a team where counter attack isn't possible as opposition teams sit deep you couldn't see it working for him there. Mahrez seems that he has it in him to adjust, a lot of his good play is in tight spaces with guys around him and he looks like he can unlock defences with skill or good footwork so he does seem like he can go to the next level. He'll be expensive now so I hope it isn't us who go after him.
Kante has a bit of Makelele about him but again in a team that dominates possession I wonder how he'd get on.

You can't be having your first hot season at 29 and be a quality player.Originally posted by fah-qDidn't someone once see Philip Schofield ****ting into a crisp packet?

Personally, I wouldn't sign any of them (especially inflated prices) till they've proven themselves after another season.
Someone like Mahrez, I would assess especially after an injury, as he plays his football with such fine margins that a minor loss of pace would leave him redundant imo (similar to Torres)

I think its always smart to be patient, we've seen clubs, ourselves included dive in and buy someone going through a purple patch only to be ****.
There are differences with Leicester though. As a team they're beyond anything I can remember recently, their expectations were to try and stay up and now they're 5 points clear. Another difference is the length of this level of performance, the stat posted above about 82 points from 38 games is astonishing.
Vardy given his age I'd leave well alone, Mahrez although great was in and out the team for a time earlier on in the season. Kante for me is the one to take a chance on he's just fantastic! Drinkwater has been really impressive too, his range of passing surprised me, I wouldn't take him but he's been important for them in releasing Mahrez and Albrighton.Vive la France

That "82 points from last 38 games" stat says a lot to me about how important it is to finish a season strongly and carry it through to the next season.
It's what we did prior to finishing second.
I'd love us to finish this season strongly (even if we miss out on top 4) as I think it could help us get off to a flyer next season.
