Aye, he addresses the point in his interview with The Athletic, he was basically told to launch it long at every opportunity. He says they’ve been working on playing the ball out from the back using the CBs and Bruno/Shelvey in preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great gamesmanship, other teams will read that article and as soon as the ball goes to Pope, they'll close down Bruno/Shelvey and the CB's, Pope will then launch it long to Wood who will take it down on his chest, swivel in one silky movement and hammer it into the top corner.................mebes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're talking about a squad with too many, well paid, fringe players who're proving difficult to move on. Leicester don't want to sell any of the player I mentioned above, but they can't shift the dross. Honestly, I think after Fofana and Schmeichel are definitely going. Tielemans is next most likely, depending on the asking price and interested parties. He only has 1 year left on his deal (c£120k pw) so would be easier to get for a reasonable price than Maddison. However Maddison will be the more attractive target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour going round that Man United are closely monitoring Jamie Vardy. Leicester are going to have no one left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I'm fairly confident Ashworth & Howe won't reduce themselves too. They'll acquire the right solutions, NOT available solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
