It's getting quite tiresome to be honest.

For the record, I agree with you, but I am a cantankerous old bastard who just can't let the little things go!

Hopefully we get cash too being as it's in their interest and not ours.

I think Joe Hart is massively overrated. He's been bang average for Torino. I'd much rather someone like Heaton or Forster.

They wouldn't join us.

Hart will see EPL as a step in the right direction. The other young keepers won't see Leicester as a step up IMO.
I'd take them but I don't see them wanting to come.

One lower mid table struggler to another. I think he'll be hoping for a step up, not sideways.

Why will we lose our star players?
Schmeichel did not leave last year when he could have. He is on a huge long contract. Who would offer enough money? And he seems very happy here as occasional Captain.
Mahrez is talented but very inconsistent. Would he start at Real Madrid or Barcelona or be a bench warmer? Would they pay him any more than here?
Same for Vardy. Who would pay his wages and accommodate his style?

It's not all about money you know. Some of those players you mentioned may have ambitions of playing Champions League football.

The main rumours around Kasper last summer were for Everton. He's now being linked with Manure. We had champions league football this season too.
Mahrez - long gone
Vardy - I think we could keep him. He's obviously happier now Claudio has gone and I can't imagine the same level of clubs will be after him this summer.

You think Schmeichel would be sitting on the bench at Man City or Liverpool?

I agree. I think Vardy will stay because he just fits really well with our system and style of play, and I doubt he'd want to chance being a bench warmer at his age.
Mahrez and Schmeichel are both gone IMO.
