They're talking about us

Average for 15th in the Premier League.

Maybe you should have made that clear, because I had no idea what you meant. It's not being pedantic if you just want to know what someone means.

Average for 15th in the Premier League.

God I love pedantry.

What were they last season?

 

[City Fan]

What were they last season?

Irrelevant. We're discussing this season aren't we?

 

[yackandandah]

Just as well you love it CF, Jeff is 'above average' at pedantry!

(Yanking your chain Jeff, no offence intended )

Valuations of the squads from top five European leagues attached: http://www.football-observatory.com/

Leicester City (apparently) have the 12th most valuable squad in Europe?!? at 484m euros. This rates our squad above the likes of PSG and Dortmund. Here are the only teams ranked above us:

1. Barcelona (1,071m)
2. Real Madrid (921m)
3. Spurs (799m)
4. Man Utd (700m)
5. Athletico (696m)
6. Chelsea (682m)
7. Arsenal (660m)
8. Man City (655m)
9. Liverpool (593m)
10. Juventus (567m)
11. Bayern (560m)

Seville are only valued at 185m which clearly means we'll destroy them in the Chumpions' League.

Dear lord, we really are crap aren't we? Overpriced crap at that.

I find that difficult to believe.

Is that with Ulloa being valued at £10m or £1.7m?

Don't get all pedant on a decimal point CF.

Of course it's rubbish.

Anyone else bored of these two trying to be Posh & Becks?

Abso-fecking-lutely!

I never thought anyone could make Posh and Becks seem classy but this pair are chavving the shite out of them. Unfortunately, I've not managed to avoid 'Becky' talking about eating her placenta and sharing pictures of her stretch marks over the last couple of weeks. It's cringeworthy.

It's all gone a bit quiet about 'Vardy: The Movie' though hasn't it? Although a story where he ends up getting relegated with us and then back playing for Stocksbridge in a couple of years as he continues to disappear up himself would be more interesting.

I've managed to avoid it, as have most others on here I'd imagine.

I can't understand why this would bother anyone? These magazines have always pondered to the lowest common denominator with regards quality but certain people love them. If Vardy and his missus want to milk it then more power to them. I highly doubt it takes up much of their time.

I've probably missed a lot of them as I don't go to the doctors as regularly as those rags are printed. Has there been a story about how he used to get paid loads of money for playing football but now earns even more for just standing and pointing a bit.

Players not wanting to play... Dear God.

For me, the 'team' of last season who played together has been completely bastardised by new wage structures and from the attentions of so-called 'bigger' clubs. It's a perfect storm of shite, which needs a leader to lead and sort this out.

Fuchs clearly wants to go to the US. Make it happen.. Vardy clearly believes he's worthy of the Hello front cover, enjoy it, I think the only spectacular thing about Vardy this season will be how fast this whole superstardom falls from grace. He needs to get his head down and get back to what made him famous.

Mahrez and Slimani both need to be given sympathy for their exit from AFCON, but both needs to roll up their socks and start playing.

Everyone criticising the manager needs to have a serious word with themselves.

Merson reckons we will be relegated.

That's great news. I expect a comfortable top half finish now.
