2016/17 rumourmill and confirmed transfers

[arbboy]

I'm probably biased but I think Scott Hogan is very live at 25s. Brentford create plenty of chances, finishing joint top scorers in last year's Championship. He is the clear cut first choice striker and bagged 7 in just 161 mins of game time at the end of last season after returning from a pair of cruciate injuries. The downside is the injury risk but that applies to all. I'd be surprised if he doesn't get 20 if he plays 40 games.

You are not alone obviously as someone got the 40/1 and 33/1 earlier!

Hogan, Ross and Gayley were my three off the tee funnily enough. Will smash all three EW.

Big signing of the year

Posh could also field another trialist striker in Saturday’s (July 16) friendly with Championship side Norwich City at the ABAX Stadium.

“Grant also had a trialist striker training with us yesterday and he could play. He’s a well-known player who hasn’t made the most of his ability in recent seasons and is currently without a club.”

Any guesses? It's not Nile Ranger apparently.

The answer is Morgan Ferrier. Hope he's lost weight since Supersize Me.

Kante to Chelsea for £30m. Great signing, Chelsea going to be strong again this year.

Homesick, so I guess this gets him a bit closer to France.

Chelsea concern me more than anyone this season; Conte, no Euro football, some good new additions....

Makes little sense to me. A superb player for Leicester and loved by the supporters. Of all the clubs chasing him Chelsea weren't even on my radar. No Champions League etc etc.

Maybe just didn't fancy all the extra games this year. Will be sorely missed.

Looks a total bargain at that price given the fees being thrown about this summer.

Makes more sense to join a team who is going to be competitive at the top for the foreseeable future than stay at Leicester surely? Don't think it matters that much for teams who are going to be out of it for 1 year max.

[TightEnd]

Leicester are going to be competitive. People don't get it yet. Still we got 10m over the release clause, turned 25m in a year and won the league. We go again.

[POWWWWWWWW]

Competing for the League and CL?

[TightEnd]

No English club is going to be competing for the CL. Bar a, bayern, real, atletico and psg are light years ahead. Competitive for champions league places, yes. Sporting index have our season points total 25 points lower than last season .It's a complete joke how underrated we are again, far better side than being priced to get 56 points

I just don't see it, I'm sorry, but you can't run that far over EV again and Kante was important.

Musa looks impressive and fast though, I'd imagine teams will somehow wake up and work out that with him and Vardy they must sit deep as it's going to be even more over the top than last year.

Defence will stay solid, I'd imagine 8th best case, 12th Likely.

But you'll always have that 1 year!

PSG didn't look light years ahead of us last season in the quarters.

Looks like we will be getting odds against West Ham v Leicester in a season long match bet. Stoke's points look too low again.  Couldn't imagine selling at 44 and expecting to make a profit.  Looks pretty risk free to me buying at 45.5.
