You mean on sunday we didn't sign anyone. Get a grip mate.

I meant linked, and I said i was worried not throwing back Xanax, degenerating into a stuper. Calmate.

No, this is probably the greatest opportunity we'll ever get to establish ourselves. I'd like to see more high quality additions.

A club like ours is never going to be more than 1 bad managerial appointment from relegation

And at the moment we have a good one, with good players should come regular high finishes = better players and better managers wanting to come.

[Finnaldo]

We need much more quality in depth but currently we're losing it.

 

Hopefully we'll retain Walsh, Mahrez and (in my opinion) Schlupp and get a couple quality buys in.

[psychonaut]

CB, RB CM and CF still required.

Not for me. Go on Walshy and Rudkin, go and buy a worldie now. Please. No matter the costs.

No with Kante leaving we are now in profit for the summer I would expect us to spend at least another £50m.

Yeah, cos the amount of money we spend is the important thing - not the quality of player.  Let's just sling cash around cos that's what has gotten us success in the past.

 

As the squad stands right now we are significantly stronger than we were last season.  I would like one or two more signings but there is no blind panic to go out and recruit just because one player left.  A player who we had already replaced by the way.

So let me get this straight, as things stand right now you believe that the squad is significantly stronger? Depends how we are quantifying this but our starting 11 is significantly weaker.

Vardy leaving? 

Where have you been for the last three weeks?

If Mahrez joins Kante in leaving I think Vardy  and his advisors could easily put the feelers out again

Chill out bro  not all big money signings are flops by the way!

mendy possibly wasn't a replacement n all so we might actually need another centre mid. All I said was I want us to go out and buy a world class centre mid, they cost money mate.

im not saying wreck the entire squad and replace every player with 100m signings to jeopardise the clubs finances

This

[Spicer]

People say two in every position. Looking at the list below I think we do have two players in every position. We could lose some players still and may want to replace some with higher quality. But I wouldn't be surprised if we did no more business.

 

GK: Kasper and Zeilger

RB: Simpson and De Laet

CB: Morgan, Huth, Hernandez, Wasyl and Moore

LB: Fuchs and Chillwell

 

CM: Drinkwater, Mendy, King, James, Inler and Amartey

Wingers: Albrighton, Mahrez, Gray and Schlupp

Forwards: Ulloa, Vardy, Okazaki and Musa

[lgfualol]

Well I hope we kept Walsh's targets. Else, we've got Rudkin doing our scouting and end up with Robson-Kanu, George Boyd and Alan Hutton for £50m 

[Thracian]

We need a few more than we've got allowing for injuries and any further departures. For no particular reason I still wonder if we might land someone special, plus another two or three.

 

it's a decent squad but we really have got a lot of quality football to get through and the pressure will probably be more tiring both psychologically because of having even numerically more important games than last season, but also due to the travel aspect which we won't be as used to as most, if not all, of our opponents.

No. We need to strengthen ahead of the champions league. We've lost our most integral cog in what was a well oiled machine.....we've got to regroup and rethink otherwise things will go to shit.

Massively this

[UPinCarolina]

Perspective: We've spent less on all signed players during this window than some Premier League teams have spent on single players.

We can afford to make a few more signings and not be in a poor financial position. Especially when the costs of not finishing in the CL or Europa League places are potentially so high for an ascendant club like ours.

[reynard]

We need at least another three players and that is if we can even keep the ones we have already.

 

The loss of Kante is just a huge blow and our starting 11 is massively reduced in quality because of this.

[foxy boxing]

we definatly need a few more players bringing in,we are in three cup competitions and the league which will be even harder as a well as replacing players that want to leave and we are doing well financially, we just need to make sure that the players we bring in have the right mentality and accept they will have to work hard and not just accept that they are in the team

[LCCFox96]

I still think another defensive option is required at CB. A right back would only be needed if De Laet was sold but even then if Hernandez and Amartey can fill in there it wouldn't be a necessity. Another striker/CAM and another CM option is a must.

Thats real shit, the club has been doing a lot of talking in the months prior about being competitive and bolstering the squad however they indicated that they didin't want to sign any "big time charlies" which for the life of me i really don't understand what that means but we have seen little action. The Sporting Gijon defender we signed is average at best (yes i watch La Liga), Mendy and Musa are decent players but nothing special, the goalkeeper is not worth mentioning. The team needs a big time signing, i could not care about the price tag. We just need a very good player that is comparable to the level of Mahrez and Vardy. We need to go into this season with renewed focus and optimism, West Ham are being linked with 65mil moves for James Rodriguez and we have not even been linked with a 30mil pound player. Owners have spoken a lot about their ambitions, well shit happened a lot sooner than they expected but it is as if they are still operating within their original plan to be competing for top 4 within 4-5 years. Well circumstances have changed its time they put their money where their mouths are and sign some top quality talent to solidify our position for the long term.

Is it not possible that Mendy could be just as good?  Or is it not possible that a change if formation could see us with an even stronger modified?  

 

Kante was one player.  It's not like he was our only outstanding performer last season.  There was wailing and hysteria when Cambiasso left - "we are so much weaker", "we'll never replace his quality" etc etc - and that turned out just fine.  I'm not saying that will of course be the same again but let's wait and see shall we?

Completely agree. I want a top top player to help us maintain the levels we aspire to.

Doubt many else on here will agree as some people on here think that big money signings automatically have bad attitudes and will disrupt the squad. 

At the end of the day were not going to keep scouting players like Mahrez for 400k there will be a point when we have to pay (and probably overpay) Bigtime for the players that will better us. The fact everyone knows we've got £ also adds to that.

moght never be in a better position so I hope we take advantage of this and go buy 2/3 Worldies that will help us.

You make a half valid argument but you've also completely missed the whole point of our season.

[kingfox]

CB, CM & ST needed after tonight.

 

As I've said before we need a younger CB who can be a long term replacement for Huth or Wes.

 

I'd sell Inler, have Mendy as the defensive option if we go 4-3-3, then Drinkwater, King, James and another as options to play in front of Mendy or in a 4-4-2. 

 

Finally I think we need an alternative option to Okazaki. We have Musa as an alternative for Vardy, Ulloa as the big man, now all we need is an alternative to Shinji. He works hard but he has been our weak link on too many occasions, need someone who can do his role but score & create more goals.
