Tinker on.

how will teams approach it next year? just sit back and don't give Vardy space and man mark Mahrez? Vardy seems very ineffectual without space to run into.

teams began to sit back from about february onwards. Vardy went dry for a while, and we were having to nick games and score set piece goals. By the end of the season though we had adjusted and Vardy was scoring again. No worries there, if he remains with us. Whole team sets up to feed him chances whether on the break or not.

Part of it is that the defensive midfield and back four were completely impenetrable so we were rarely behind in games so teams had to come onto us if they wanted to get something out of games. So it starts from there. Losing Kante would be a loss to that style and affect Vardy's chances.
 
Only one team double marked Mahrez, Liverpool at Anfield. No team man marked him. I can't think of any English team that has man marked anyone in any game over the last couple of seasons. Think Ranieri is very shrewd, if teams do it he'll adjust again. Mahrez might go anyway. Demaria Gray was bought with that in mind and is going to be very good

Jamie will continue to focus all of his efforts on trying to achieve success with the England team at the European Championships in France.

There will be no further comment from either the Club or the player on this matter until the conclusion of the tournament."

allegedly £110,000 a week, turning down Arsenal who offered more.

A sign of intent that we intend to be around the top for a while

meanwhile there are £85m of transfer bids out there from us this summer......

[Longines]

Only 4 months since he signed the last contract, must be close to a PL record?

[TightEnd]

Vardy to get near last seasons total?

Top Prem Scorer 16/1

20+ Prem goals 6/1

15+ Yes: Evs, No: 8/11

bet365

that 6/1 looks v interesting to me, bit of a punt on mahrez staying, maybe reflects some rotation likely, usual injury risks, but we should have a much deeper squad to supply him chances

[Sportshead]

Good news for Leicester this

So NOT all footballers take the more money option as claimed before
Good for him

[T8MML]

So pleased to hear this today. Hopefully now his show of commitment will be followed by the others who I've felt were waiting not wanting to be the one who is seen as breaking up the squad.

Really looking forward to the new season!

If Kanté leaves, and Mendy's the only midfield signing, then lcfc are changing their tactics

I have got a signed picture postcard of Christian Fuchs holding the EPL trophy.  My brother lives in New York and his wife teaches at Fuch's kids school in Manhattan.  He came into the school and met all the kids after the season ended.  If anyone wants the signed card for themselves or their kids PM me and i will post it to you.

Sounds like Billy big bollocks, winning the title then going into a school and signing a few postcards. Don't need personalities like his around the dressing room.
