I don't think he needs to be a world beater. He's good defensively. Has a trick and a few ways to score a goal. He also operated with zero support from left back last year. If we play with a wing back or left back this year. He could get more one on ones higher up the pitch. Cooper needs to get in his and fatawus head early and give them clear licence to take their man on and tell them they won't be dropped for losing the ball or taking on a shot.

It's worth remembering that while we have some gaps - we do have a spine of a squad that is already relatively fit for the premier league and has experience of succeeeding or staying in it: Ricardo, Coady, Vestegaard, Faes, Justin, Winks, Ndidi, Vardy all have big prem and international experience through the spine of the team. We have some players that made a BIG impact in the champhionship and who are ready to play in the Premier League: Hermansen, Mavididi, Fatawu are big assets who should be backed and given confidence. They could well be £20-30m+ assets after 1 season in the premier league. Fatawu could be the breakout star of the season. Prospects & Youth Internationals: McAteer, Cannon, Kristiansen, Stolarcyk, Nelson, Braybrooke, Alves, Golding should all be in our around the 1st team squad and ready to make a difference If we have bought in Okoli, Reid and O'Hare then we have bolstered the numbers in 3 key positions without necessarily troubling the 1st X1 Striker, CAM, left sided defender are our 3 big holes which could well be funded by losing Daka, Soumare, Ward, Choudhury etc

i don't think it is going to cause a crypto currency gambling problem among the fanbase or tv audience (good luck seeing the logo at a game and getting enough signal to download the app) and so i'm ok with it. Relieving some crypto fin tech dicks of their cash is fine with me.

Is he free. yes. Is he better than what we have in reserve for Mavi and Fatawu. Yes. Moving onnnnnnnnn

we don't really have a no10 at the club though unless Alves starts to get 1st team games, so it feels like 343 would suit current squad better. That said. If we get Sara or another player like that then you never know. Our best assets last year were our two inverted wingers though, so would be a shame not to set up to exploit them.

I like how much Fatawu will close down from the inside right position, but wouldn't have him routinely near the penalty area if we can help it! I'd have Hermansen Okoli Vestergaard Faes (Nelson/Coady) Ricardo Ndidi Winks Justin (Kristiansen) Fatawu Vardy Mavididi

i think we need to play 343 next season, very similar to Switzerland. get Justin, Ricardo, Kristiansen up the flanks. Play a front 3 of Mavi (inside left), Vardy, Fatawu (inside right). Use Winks, Ndidi, Golding, Braybrooke, Soumare, Choudhury etc in the middle. use Alves, McAteer, Cannon for a bit of impact

His name sounds like Harry Kane trying to pronounce the name of a large Scottish landmark. it's a no from me...

Did well for Bologna. I thought he looked like one of the unfittest 22yo's I've ever seen. Was breathing out his arse when he came off quite early and had been gassed several times by saka and Walker.

Vestegaard wasn't used by Denmark to dictate play at all. His deep sitting position invited opposition on as the game wore on (which happens for Leicester) as his lack of pace is exacerbated when tired. Christensen and Anderson ran the defensive show and Vesty got done for pace alarmingly a couple of times. Big warning sign for prem. Kristiansen should be in squad unless someone offers £20m +

If we get Potter i will be happy

Leicesters best chance of success this year is ]hoping the bigger clubs come back from Euros absolutely knackered. We put out the team that finished last season and hit the ground running. We could wipe out points deduction in 3 or 4 games and kick on....

Think we will see Kristiansen, Soumare, Daka, Ward, Souttar etc follow Praet Iheanacho and Albrighton out of the door. I think we will wait a little while for an appointment and so need to start pretty similar to last season to try and carry some continuity through to the first part of the season. id like to see Nelson and Alves bought in as they are clearly top prospects and could be big assets for us if they kick on. short at left back, 8 and striker with the departures before we think about any other positions. starting XI for first fixture... Hermansen Nelson Vestergaard Faes Ricardo Winks Fatawu Alves Dewsbury-Hall Mavididi Vardy

I don't think we have the luxury of loaning Alves and Braybrooke out if they are in the England u20 team with Nelson. Means they are right up there in terms of quality players at 19/20. With Dewsbury-Hall ready to go I think having Alves around to play inside left or inside right no 8 will be key.

I don't think Cooper woukd be too bad. Did well with England age groups. Did OK with a signing approach worse than Chelsea's and knitted together a good blend. Looks like he's 3 white wines in though. Which is ok when you're winning. Not when he's defending a 3-0 home loss where Vestergaard's arse has fallen off.

There's only one thing for it. Get the band back together: Vardy installed as player/manager with Andy King and Nugent as assistants Schmeichel replaces the Birch Wasilewski and Huth as coaches - to beat down on anyone who doesn't do as told Mahrez in charge of contract small print (poacher turned game keeper) Kante in on accounts to bamboozle the auditors and double count all income. Morgan can shake up the booze suppliers, Drinkwater on corporate hospitality. Fuchs on club shop and merch Ulloa on fame management and how we see out the last 10 minutes. Okazaki to release a new version of when you're smiling (his little face!) Danny Simpson on social media and pr Albrighton driving the bus De Laet and Nathan Dyer managing loans Schlupp on odd jobs. Chilwell on receiving the ball and playing it back inside to the centre half

No way we get 15 points. even if we have a 1 year instance of loss, we then got relegated trying to stay in line.

how come, just out of interest. Did a great job getting them up. Well thought of. Attacking football, could bring Barkley and Carlton Morris with, which would be nice cheap additions to the squad.

How about Rob Edwards at Luton?

I dont think Mark Robins would be a bad shout. Played for us, sets up an exciting side that has taken down multiple prem sides and us this season with hardly any investment. He would be a leftfield shout, but he has done his dues.

Maresca will do well at Chelsea as he has all the players ready made to play his style an doesnt rely on full backs and strikers. Both of which chelsea are shit at signing. Still a **** though. Hope all his hair falls out.

Id take Soucek, Fornal, Benrahma RIGHT NOW

Not from what i saw at West Ham. He had Bowen, Kudus, Paqueta, Antonio etc running on and they scored / conceded quite a lot after losing Declan Rice. In current set up, i live in terror of us constantly watching Vestergaard trying to lasoo or body slam a prem striker as they run through clean on goal after skinning him.

I would be happy for Moyes to come in and get backed in as much as he can be. He's achieved more than most british managers in the game, and built a side that achieved a lot at West Ham. We could do A LOT worse. I agree that i can see Maresca being gone by christmas, for one reason or another, even if we are 15th or 16th - because his style will have been put under a lot of pressure due to not having the perfect personnel. At Chelsea i think he would have them top 6 as he's got ready made players to play his style.
