Leicester are going to do well to replace Vardy.

I'm amazed no one thinks we need cover at CB: we have been very lucky with no injuries to to Konsa and Mings this season.
I want another class CB; may persuade Smith that sometimes a back 3 is a useful fallback tactical approach.
I'd love a Trossard or Pereira to come in as cover for Grealish.
And, we'll need cover for Targett.
I think we do need cover - especially if Engles leaves. Hause seems to pick up a few injuries.

The problem is are we likely to find better under-studys than Hause and Engels given any potential new signing will know that Mings and Konsa are set in stone as a partnership.

Jeez I’m losing it.  The Vardy post was for the other games thread.

Bring Tuanzebe back? Could cover RB at a stretch too. Also gives the option of switching to a three at times. Bit of a no brainer for me if the price was right.

I like him. And he obviously did well for us previously. But is he fit often enough ? And more importantly is he massively better than the kids I see ripping up the U23’s well ahead of their age group and the likes of Dominic Revan n loan at Weymouth ?

Whilst I really loved him in the championship whenever I’ve seen him for manure he hasn’t looked great.  Plus the injuries of course.

Does anyone know the rules with regards to U23 players and whether they need to be declared in the 25 man squad?

The other question is, why would he want to leave their bench for ours?

This is the issue with signing understudies, there are very few who are decent that will come unless there's a sniff of Champion's League football. It's been said many times before, but we ought to be looking to turn some of the current first team into back-ups. Apart from Martinez, Konsa and Grealish there are conceivable upgrades for all the others.

I would safely say his track record for us next to Mings would suggest he is a long way ahead of any of our u23s. He's had a tough spell at Man United alright but they have huge competition at CB. His injury record is obviously a real worry but he is still only 23 and did well for us previously.

Abraham or Isak to add competition up front. Thorgan Hazard and the marquee signing of Christian Pulisic to signal out intent. He’s in and out of the Chelsea team and Tuchel might want to cash in to bring his own players in.

Smith needs to change his approach next season with regards to player rotation. Don't think Watkins has missed a minute for us this season yet, that's not remotely sustainable.

I don’t see us spending really big this summer. I think they’ll look to bring in 2 or 3 high quality 1 team ready standard players and then bolster the first team squad from u23s / academy. Don’t know about who to get in or even who we’d be looking at- I’d assume a couple of overseas under the radar wonder kids for fairly modest money and then maybe a big money signing or 2 from UK. One I’d really be trying to get and would be maybe willing to spend over on would be Abraham. I reckon we’ve got a chance of getting him and also think he would improve us as I rate him probably top six quality, which is what we should be aiming at next season regardless of where we finish this season.

Think 9th is probably best we can aim for now unless we go on a mad run like at the start of the season. We’d then be having to sell ourselves as such to potential signings

I'll be surprised if we spend less than £100 million. We are making great strides all the time and nothing about our board makes me think they'll say "mid table! That'll do!".
