Kante to Chelsea...first nail in Leicester's coffin.

Newbfail · 15 Jul 2016 at 19:07

damn Chelsea getting Kante

hope that means either Matic or Fabregas are not required.

NexusK · 15 Jul 2016 at 19:18

French media reporting that Mahrez wants to leave now too.

I'm a bit gutted Subotic looks like he's going to Boro, I thought he would've been a great signing for us as a Stones replacement. Failing that, I'd love to see us go for someone like Marquinhos from PSG. He's an excellent CB who also has great potential, but I don't see PSG selling him cheap, and he's likely to move to a bigger club than Everton if he does leave.

I cant see PSG letting him go easily - would love Marquinhos at Utd (was between him and Varane, but looks like Varane has been given a new number so is staying at RM) I just dont see them agreeing to sell for any money at all.

Its bad enough being "in" for Madrid's cast off's (supposedly still interested in Rodriguez, who has just been a bit meh since the WC) but now to be interested in Chelsea's too, and they dont exactly set the world alight either......just find it really un-inspiring to be linked to these two and hope its just lazy journos.

By January Vardy will be regretting not moving on and cashing in while he had the chance. Smr will also have put in his transfer request.

Not surprised Kante left.

Question is if Mahrez will stay.

Well I'd love to see Arsenal give Leicester Walcott and in return we get Mahrez. Not that it will happen as Wenger seems likely to keep Walcott at the moment.

Still waiting to see if Wenger actually buys a striker, someone better than Giroud or someone who will complement him. And no Walcott isn't that player as shown in the past seasons and before that he just isn't a capable goal scorer.

Gignac is probably available if you are after a striker.

Another donkey?? No thanks, ones enough lol.

But wouldn't surprise me if Wenger made a play for him though

Newbfail · 15 Jul 2016 at 21:11

Ibra
Martial Miki Mahrez
Pogba Schneiderlin

Really hope Arsenal don't spend 80 odd million on Higuain, get Icardi in. Thought that Icardi was staying at Inter, looks like there's a few stumbling blocks about his contract though.

If they're throwing 80m for a striker, they need to throw it at Juve to prise away Dybala.

Kante to Chelsea is supposedly done, just the medical to go within 48 hours now.

€36m / £30m fee and 5 year contract so likely the bargain of the window.

Gutted to be losing Kante, especially to another Prem club. Thought the lure of champs league would keep him for one more season at least.

Need to make sure we don't lose Mahrez now.

Yeah that such a good deal, one of our best players for a muppet :rolleyes:

You'd be better off send Walcott back to Soton or trading him to the Hammers.

Yas786 · 16 Jul 2016 at 11:13

So it seems like Mahrez wants a move now, has 3 yrs left on his 35k a week salary and Leicester have offered 80k a week which he rejected.

Arsenal are circling as well but we all know nothing will come of it lol.

Another nail in leicester's coffin could be happening soon.

Now I know how Southampton fans have felt the past few seasons

ThestigGT999 · 16 Jul 2016 at 12:58

Martin Skrtel's been in Turkey for 48hrs and already their defence has fallen apart.

Newbfail · 16 Jul 2016 at 13:06

Would be a shame to see Leicester picked to pieces.

Martini1991 · 16 Jul 2016 at 14:29

I don't understand the logic of players leaving, after Vardy decided to stay, I thought that they might all stay.

It always happens though, Dortmund are testament to that.

Lets be fair, if Leicester didn't put such low release clauses in the contract of our players, we could hold onto them a bit longer. £30m for Kante and £20m for Vardy is shocking, should be double that, Kante would be still be a bargain in today's climate.

But no one gave us a chance last season of staying in the premiership, so I'm not surprised about the comments this time around.
