Leicester since March

Honours:

He is mates with the players.

Erm.... That's the answer to a question I didn't ask. I was being facetious.

Thanks for the info though... I guess?

you are quite welcome.

I can see that all this is hysterical and annoying, and more or less unfounded, but what actually is the rumour here?

Do I need to say it?

I dunno. Some on here tried to take common sense on loan but were 14 seconds too late?

We have hope with CS, he is more sucessful in his first year in management than Conte was!
Conte started at Bari and for two years managed them to 13th place and then 11th in the italian second division (serie B), before eventually getting them promoted.
But I fear CS has a long way to go, and maybe gaining experience in lower leagues gives a better grounding than being thrust into a top six team.
Lets hope he follows in Conte's footsteps, but that would mean leaving us for the top echelons of Europe. Oh for a crystal ball!

Perhaps we could get a new manager on loan?

Frank de Boer, probably on a 'free'?

Luis Enrique, before he gets 'shanghaied' by Shanghai?

Frank de Boer, probably on a 'free'?

He would be a baaaaad choice. He's previously shown to be good in his field but perhaps the grass isn't greener over here. May be able to tempt Bale to join though.

A potential move mentioned in this thread a few times was Slimani to Watford (with the assumption of it being a swap for Deeney). Here Slimani reveals that City stopped it from happening much to his disappointment by the looks of it.

We paid almost £30m for him, he's our player. I have no idea why he would be allowed to talk to Watford at all actually. BUT, I absolutely feel it's right for us to prevent our better players from leaving unless the deal is in our favour.

And actually, Slimani says that that's all in the past and he's focused on Foxes now.

Shows how good it is in the camp when a £30m striker wants to go to Watford.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

For some, they just want to be first pick/number 1 on the team sheet. But then Slimani knew that Vardy was always going to be picked ahead of him when he signed for us?

He probably didn't.

It might have something to do withMarco Silva having been his manager at Sporting.

He had a manager at Sporting when he left Sporting.

Yes; Jorge Jesus.

Jesus H Corbett! Are we getting GTF back to play in front of him?

Or it shows a striker who hasn't repaid his 'worth' in any way shape or form yet, throwing his toys out of the pram because he isn't getting picked week in week out.

Mind you, being partnered with Ulloa must be a kick in the balls.
