If we give Vestergaard a new contract we clearly have not learnt anything. 

We dont have the means to replace his quality for less than a new contract.

 

Fairy tale land stuff we can find a good on the ball defender suited to Enzo style with EPL experience for a couple of million and 10k a week wages.

I know that there is a lot of sentiment involved (understandably) but resigning Vardy is worse business than Vestegaard considering he will likely be on around  £100k p/w. 

If he wont sign for less than 100k, I dont see us giving him a contract.

Yeah just replace him with the same quarterback output for 3.6m a year + transfer fee, that seems easily achievable   

Are we playing American football next season?

[filbertway]

If we just want a CB that can stroke the ball out we might as well play Sammy Braybrooke there to be fair.

Name a PL defender who’s worse than Vestergaard on 75k a week +
 

there must be plenty of decent young up coming defender who would be happy with 50k and they also may have a decent sell in value 

 

honestly I’d prefer re-signing Cags than giving Vesty that much

You hear this a lot but never a name and I know we aren’t scouts, but even at a superficial level, who plays like him? Has the same range of passing, yet maintains an acceptable price point? (No smart responses ) 

I think it is far harder than people make out, I know @HoneyBadger said Edwards fits the bill, and although I am not able to contest the opinion, that fact he is still at Peterborough causes me to question this, but as I said to him, if true then get Edwards and keep Jannik for a season to maximise the effect of transitioning.

 

edit - Cags is nothing like Jannik, you would lose the ball playing aspect, oh and Cags is proper sh*t now.

Don’t mind us retaining Vestergaard because of his passing so long as we ensure we have the right profile of defenders to support him and there is midfield cover.

We need at least one centre defender (ideally left sided) who has sufficient pace who can cover for him when he is exposed by pace. 
 

There is some speculation we switch to a double pivot (Winks plus one other) to prevent an overload on the defence.

Whether we use Ndidi or bring someone in, these are two key areas if building the team around Vestergaard will work.

[Uncle Monty]

I think Jannik has earned a new contract after last season tbf.

[fox_up_north]

We all want a very, very quick new CB.

 

Usain Bolt wants to be a professional footballer.

 

Get it done.

Yes, I agree. There is a number of different priorities and our lack of depth is something I've said before. But buying a quality set piece taker is a must. 

Maybe one of our current players would be better at taking set pieces; and what about Alves.  We don't necessarily need/can't afford to buy someone specifically for that role, just assign it to someone else from within the squad.  Oh, and there's the whole of the preseason for candidates to practise and stake a claim for the role.

How can you watch us all season but be surprised Vesty is staying? Too integral to the way we play. Enzo is a big fan so fine keeping him. 

 

I am hoping we adopt more of the Southampton game plan of conceding the possession and yeah perhaps sitting deep & breaking on the counter more so which probably will be inevitable against the top 8

You mean like we did in the season we won the title in 16 with Morgan and Huth at the back?

Who says the offer is for that amount?

[Ashley]

Italian mate of mine told me today that there's rumours about Juventus wanting him and it's in a few newspapers over there. 

 

I can't see anything online anywhere?

I would be amazed if he got a job that big

 

Had a look around and can't see anything either, another club that he has played for though so might just be a lazy link by reporters

I should imagine he is worth that in the world wide profile, anywhere in world you go, football fans know Vardy and know of Leicester because he plays for them. Snip at 5 million a year
