If everyone’s fit and firing from last years best 11 then I’d say we are about 2 forwards/wingers from amazing.

The number of games where our bench wingers/strikers had to come on and win the game last year was poor, we still need a winger who can have an impact from the first minute. Still a lot of room for improvement that congerton has yet to provide Edited 3 September 2020 by honeybradger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell on Chilwell. I think he will be successful but I don’t think he will be world class. I think his limit is a Wayne bridge/Leighton Baines standard of full back.

I agree with this - Chilwell is a good top division left back and no more imo. Great ball carrier and surprisingly good in the air, but he can be vulnerable 1 on 1 and he his final ball is inconsistent. Capable of brilliance (see Watford goal), but his confidence desserts him at times.... I’d be happy to wish Ben all the best if we bring in the right replacements - Fofana fits the bill.

From a leicester perspective there was a big gap in quality between vardy, maddison, tielemans, ndidi, evans, soyuncu, pereira, schmeicel and chilwell, barnes and perez. Barnes is on his way to closing that gap but i dont think you could categorise his performance last year as 'amazing'. Until we get an proper rw of the same quality of the rest of our starting 11 there's still work to be done on improving it. Depending on how good castagne/thomas is there might still need to be an improvement made at lb as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my personal opinion is that our full strength starting 11 last season was amazing for leicester city, we usually have a net spend of about 35 million and we finished 5th due to loss of form, injurys and the whole pandemic thing. We had one miraculous season that we finished higher 🏆 . But if I look at our starting 11 last season compared to previous Leicester teams I would say it’s amazing. But the squad isn’t, otherwise we would have finished 3rd. I’m not sure what you expect, we have been rubbish for the vast majority of my lifetime and last season we challenged the big boys and still finished amongst them. Weather you liked Chilwell or not, he is a good player, and would walk in to most teams. If we had 2 amazing attacking wide men then we would have been one of the best teams in Europe, but we are leicester city, finished in the top 5 twice in like 60 years, normally we are in the championship or fighting relegation, so for me last seasons first 11 was amazing 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lot of room for improvement that congerton has yet to provide I'd say 7/11. Kasper is among the best keepers in the Premier League, apart from a few aberrations at the end of season. Our first choice back 4 was comparable with any in the league. N'Didi is the best DM in the league. Vardy won the golden boot. The remaining 4, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes and Perez were inconsistent, but occasionally very good. We lack depth. We have players who can come in and do a job, but no one who can come off the bench and change the game against the top sides. Gray and Iheanacho show the occasional moment of inspiration, but nothing we could guarantee. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paninistickers Posted 3 September 2020 Share Posted 3 September 2020 (edited) I wonder if this comes off, the Social media Saga is an insight in to how long these deals take to close? My gut feel is that a deal was struck - handshake type thing or even a letter of intent - with this young man's advisors and now it's down to the clubs to agree the transfer fee. Remember, Chilwell has been a cert to leave since Feb/march but wasn't until late August the deal was actually closed Edited 3 September 2020 by Paninistickers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would suggest the Milan link is something circulated by st Etienne l, rather than the player, in order to drive up the price Remember we did Stoke a favour once - when doing the Huth deal - by putting in a rogue bid for Nzonzi who'd clearly already agreed to go to Seville Edited 3 September 2020 by Paninistickers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horibbly Wrong Posted 3 September 2020 Share Posted 3 September 2020 He's probably the reason we gave Mendy an extension.
