    That is great news! Now how much can we get for Kante? 20m sounds a small amount compared to the fees being paid by clubs for lesser players.

    Kanté is on his way then or am I reading this transfer wrong. He seems to be a replacement. 13m... Kanté shouldn´t go for less than 26m. That would be a good bit of business imo.

    This is a great signing. Saw quite a bit of French football last season and this guy always impressed.
    Pretty quick, good tackler though not up to Kantes standards, however a better passer than Kante
    Now get Musa in

    What amazes me is that, with our scouting system, given how well publicised this is why didn't all the big clubs try and hijack it?

    Because players that suit us wont suit them - no point in say Spurs signing Mendy as they have a dozen midfielders already.

    They have tried to nick our entire scouting staff though.

    very few teams are prepared to take the chance on players that aren't dead certs or are prepared to give them time and the effort to develop to thier potential Vardy didn't hit the ground running our defender are just defenders not wing backs. We as fans are used to bargain basement signings they don't have to be established internationals we have in recent years grown to trust the Board of directors to support the management team to do their job just look at Sven when he was blaming the pitch for a bad run they just got the wallet out and relaid education it reason to fail gone.
    Although we won the title they continue to build and they have faith in those they employ to do the job and those employed are allowed to make mistakes Claudio would still have been boss if we were relegated. the is no pressure to play somebody just because of a price tag and the players know it being the most expensive player at Leicester doesn't guarantee you a place on the bench let alone in the first team and nor does your reputation.

    Clauding (adjective) - taking the piss out of Tottenham.
