I suppose I’m just not that bothered about new signings, really. At least through the lens of next season. I would like to see some investment in long term replacements, but with the reduced schedule and a fit squad we are as good as most:
Kasper/Ward
Castagne/Ricardo
Evans/Soyuncu
Fofana
Hustin
Ndidi
Tielemans
Maddison
Barnes
Vardy
Nacho/Perez/Albrighton
That’s a really strong 11, and the reduced workload should help in the league.
I also think we have a good set of youngsters bubbling up. Would be excellent to see some get a chance.
Im not saying we shouldn’t be looking to move some players on and refresh the squad a bit…but in the absence of that I’m still confident in the ability of that 11.

Someone at work keeps using the word "lens". It completely winds me up.

Sunderland legend Jeremain’s agent.
It would make sense if there were.

It's absolute ****ing wibble that's reads like it's been written by an angry year 12 year old. I'd rather read a Superscout list, The Joe Fox Guide to Football Betting or A History of Barges by Boc, than this drivel.

Absolutely. We have an excellent group of players and our backups, other than up front, are good enough to do a decent job of cover.

Right. And even at that we have 3 proven international footballers up front.
Generally we are fine. If anything we just have too many players.

Time will tell, Barnes needs to find form, Vardy needs to stay fit and the right side really doesn't look strong to me, like quite a few teams Leicester are one or two big injuries away from a difficult season.

So Dewsbury-Hall was a one season wonder?

Yes, he barged in.

Not bothered about new signings? I guess we did sign that Hustin bloke after all…
Whilst I agree the first 11 is strong (apart from Nacho/Perez/Albrighton on the right side), I think we’re forgetting just how diabolical our injury record has been for the past 3 years. We’ll be back to seeing Amartey and Choudhury in the lineup before long. Awesome.

This is a concern but with fewer games you would hope that this eases up. I don't think we need loads of new faces and I'd rather get the ones we have back to full fitness. Let's be honest, Ndidi, Ricardo, Barnes, Soyuncu, Evans.... none of these players have been anything like their best since injuries and that was a real problem for us. Get these players somewhere near their best again after a full pre-season and get a settled defence which includes a fully fit Fofana and we will already be in a much better position than we were for the vast majority of last season.

Not digging you out in any way. What is the answer to that then in terms of planning and recruitment?
