Maresca said it best - it's fine to lose players but we cannot go into next season weaker than we started this one. Vardy was our top scorer last season and had the best scoring rate in the league, who are we going to sign to replace that? If you're Ipswich or whichever other team gets promoted signing Vardy on a free would be a very shrewd piece of business, especially if you're struggling with finding money to make signing due to FFP like we are. Unless he's asking for crazy money then we would be crazy not to re sign him.

Wouldn't go for Jobe Bellingham, he's a big talent but he would be expensive and he's not ready for top flight football.

If either of these teams go up I'm confident about finishing above them. That's considering we might get a 10 point deduction as well.

Surely he wouldn't come here? His wage demands would be really high and he would want CL football.

Praet wasnt particularly good when he played, Sensi was considered one of the best midfielders in Serie A at one point. At least when Sensi is fit he will be starting quality.

He's also on 250k a week as Bilbao dont spend much on transfers. I wouldn't even take him on a free unless we were able to flip him for profit in the same summer.

Part of me thinks people who post this dont even like Vardy, they just use him to get one over on Kane.

Could be a statistical error. Based on his highlights he seems to hit the ball well enough which doesnt align with his atrocious 50% long ball success rate on fbref.

His pass completion % is a bit poor for a ball playing centre back. Not sure he's capable of replacing Vestergaard in the side.

Mcatee was disappointing this season, people want him because he was one of Manchester City's best academy players at one point alongside the likes of Cole Palmer and Oscar Bobb but unlike the other two he cant seem to translate his talent into good PL performances. I would steer clear.

If we're selling Daka maybe go for Odsonne Edouard on the cheap from Crystal Palace?

He's a good finisher but the main worry for me is that he doesnt seem to get many chances. Most of his shots seem to be wild attempts without any space to pull them off that end up hitting the first defender, which worked against Huddersfield but isnt a reliable way to create chances for yourself. Hopefully he can get some coaching from Vardy or Daka because, despite their finishing not being great this season, their movement to find space around the box is excellent and it is the reason that they start over Cannon.

He's a champions league quality player with a poor injury record. Ability wise he is probably better than any midfielder we will sign instead of him but it is his availability that was in question.

Championship stats dont matter, Burnley conceded 35 last season and 74 this season. If I could choose one of the two to keep between Vestergaard and Faes it would be Vestergaard honestly. Faes just is too unpredictable to build a solid PL defence around.

The closer we get to playing in the Premier League the less confident I am that Vestegaard and Faes can maintain their form from this season. For me a priority would be some new centre backs then the midfield.

Vardy's different but the correct move is to try and negotiate his wages down as he only scored 3 PL goals last season.

Jacob Greaves for the LCB and Ronnie Edward's to play the vestegaard role.

If we could sell him and bring in Jacob Greaves for a similar price we would be silly not to.

He was crap for Luton. If we want to build a team to be promoted in 2025/2026 then he would be a fine addition but not if we want to stay up.

He doesn't even stand out particularly well in the championship and he's 25. The kind of signing that would already be deadwood upon arrival.

Maddison didnt really contribute to our FA cup win, he was injured for most of the latter rounds. Definitely should not be booed though.

Not sure I like that honestly.

Last season was some of the worst incompetency in English football. Getting relegated with the 7th highest wage bill in the league is enough for any group of fans to feel down. Our financial situation is really bad as well. While I do think it is overblown as we had the highest profits outside the big six from 2016 to 2019 so we should have enough money to have substantial losses for a few years, we are clearly in breach of ffp which is unacceptable.

We wouldn't be champions if he didnt step up at the start of the season. He might not be a top talent but he's got a top mentality and is a top hard worker. Hard work often beats talent and he has been impressive with how he has improved himself from a struggling league one loan to a solid championship season. One of the biggest success stories of the season for me and it's very poor form that our fans are slagging him off on the day we won the Championship and he scored a goal.

He had some clangers in the PL, the West Ham game in particular. He was our best centre back in the FA cup though, he was immense in the Quarters, Semis and Final. The games against Man United and Chelsea in particular are arguably his best in a Leicester shirt.
