    ... again spot on ... but it's fair to say we now hope for (rather than expect) more ... given the owner's backing for the club on all levels ...

    We are now building for what, hopfully, will be a sustained future in the top flight rather than just hoping that there will 3 teams worse than us each season with no prospect of anything better than that ...

    Gray, Ndidi, Amartey and the like will only get better and better ... and it's great as a Leicester fan to see such emerging talent and owners that won't sell our best players at the drop of a hat ...

    Here's a prediction - Demarai Gray will be called up to the full England squad within the next 12 months <ok>

    But look what the money was spent on - unproven foreign talent in which most had no experience of any of Europe's top 5 leagues. Many of the players you signed would've happily joined a club in the bottom half of the Premier League, let alone the team that had just won the competition.

    You only have to look at our mistake with the Bale money to realise that spending lots doesn't necessarily guarantee success, especially when it's all on foreign talent with no Prem experience, only two of that seven we signed remain (although Chadli was a good player).

    You wouldn't predict a coming season's finish based on how the final quarter of the previous season went though would you? Ultimately you survived relegation in 14/15 and thus many thought it'd be a similar case for 15/16. Sunderland year in, year out seem to become the best side in the country for the last handful of games, does that then mean that for the following season we should be predicting them to finish in the top four?

    The decline of the CB pairing is likely down to the loss of Kante, without his level of protection they're just more exposed. We're in a similar boat, although we're blessed to have two world class CBs in Jan and Toby, with Dier and Wanyama playing very effective DM roles, our defensive record is one of the best in the league.

    ... you mean like Mahrez and Kante? ...

    Some transfers work, some don't ... that's the beaauty (pain) of football - but I'd rather spend on 'potential' like those then spunk £30 million on a Sissoko tbh

    Whilst Mahrez and Kante were instant hits (Kante more so tbf) I also believe that you have to give incoming players time ...even Janssen might come good <whistle>

    will say this ... next to Kante the most impressive first few games for us that I personally have ever seen have been from Wilfred Ndidi .. here's hoping with him <ok>

    ... apart from the obvious exceptions of Mahrez and Kante of course.. untried foreign talent that cost us less than £7million combined and is now worth 10 times that <doh>

    True to form then? ... back where you started this morning .. predictable and tedious ... and certainly with no chance of winning a battle of wits because you're singulary, and quite embarrassingly, unarmed <rofl>

    No wonder you have to resort to internet dating ... any woman that hasn't had a lobotomy would be bored to fcuk if she had to meet you in person <laugh>

    <wah> just for you ... hopefully avoids you getting a headache in having to come up with anything original

    #EmptyMonty ... well half full... possibly :cool:

    I work for a living, but if you want to be an obnoxious **** who thinks it's a laugh to poke fun at people who are out of work, then you need to be able to take it when it comes back at you.


    Enjoy tonight with your daughters, I'm sure you will <ok>
