I said "double figures or more" in my post before I edited it. I thought I might have been exaggerating it a little bit. You've just named 5 there so I think it could have been somewhere near 10. That website is definitely wrong though.

It'll definitely be close, I remember someone missing a penalty away to Boro and I'm guessing it was him. Michael Reddy scored the rebound.
 
This. Leicester will have Europe to think of too. Vardy with Deeney or Okazaki, Deeney possibly replacing Ulloa's place in the squad. Deeney might not be a pretty tippy tappy footballer, but he's effective and fits the hard work ethic Leicester have.

Exactly, Deeney is a No10 and Vardy is a No9, they're two completely different type of forwards. Deeney will be to replace Okazaki. Deeney provided 7 assists last season to Okazaki's zero and scored more goals from open play. He's stronger and more of a threat in the air and holds the ball up better, a definite upgrade.

Apparently on the Watford forum he is their key player and better than Ighalo, people probably wouldn't bat an eyelid if Leicester wanted him for a reported £25m.
 
Still a big draw and foreign players would be attracted by playing for Klopp.

Agree on Klopp but they don't spend that much in comparison to other big sides like Man City and have only won one trophy in the last 10 years.
 
That's wrong that like. He missed a canny few for us. He went through such a bad spell he gave them up at one point.
That's not right. Off the top of my head he missed penalties against Bradford, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Chelsea & Sheffield Wednesday.
Must be true if it's on the interweb:lol:. Must admit I thought he missed 1 at home to Forest (1-1 draw) when I was looking at it.
 
I have a theory that if everyone took an IQ test on here the ones who thought I was a Mag would score about 20pts lower than the ones who thought I was Leicester.

Absolutely no evidence whatsoever apart from throwing in the odd "like" at the end of a sentence and "marra" to wind the simpletons up and it works as this is now evidence. If you read my posts I always construct them in good English and don't speak in slang.

Anyone who has read my posts will observe I know things about Leicester City that people on here generally wouldn't like obscure players that have played for us like this Sunderland lad as an example who I daresay no one on here remembers.

Don't worry mate- I started a thread that Sam would lead us to a final and top 8 over the length of his contract - so some said I was a mag.

Fwiw I think Deeney will prove a good buy. A year ago a week before the window closed arsenal went for Vardy ( when welbeck got injured but arsenal kept it under wraps). Wenger was quoted 15m and he baulked at the price. A little known sliding doors moment in Leicesters history. Wenger wanted to pay 10m and saw him as a squad player
 
I didn't understand the clamour for Andy Carroll to be in the England squad for a few goals when Deeney was far more deserving of it if wanting a player of that ilk. He's been at it virtually all season. He does all that hard work that Igalo profits from.

But Christ £25m for him!!!!
 
Transfer fees themselves aren't the problem as it's money that mainly stops in football. Wages and agents fees are the real problem.

I actually heard a different version but along the same lines.

Arsenal approached Leicester for Vardy in January but didn't want to sell because we had Title/CL aspirations but Vardy wanted to go.

A few weeks later Vardy signed an improved contract but with a minimum fee release clause in it to appease Vardy.

I can't see Leicester wanting to sell Vardy in January for £15m when little over a month before he'd just beat the Van Nistlerooy record of scoring in 11 consecutive games. A £10m offer would have been a downright insult.
 
Thing is last season he wasnt a reserve for a bottom club he was an integral part of the team and vice club captain £5m is not good value for him. If we do sell I'd expect double that but I doubt we'll sell anyway
Last season his competition was...Jack Rodwell. Sam will get new CM's and Catts will be on the bench. He would struggle for a place at about all PL clubs. I would sell for 5m. 10m is absolutely laughable, not as laughable as signing Rodwell, but still laughable.

I can't remember individual ones he missed, just he missed a canny few. And like I said he actually packed in taking them. I even think he reluctantly took one after packing them in only to miss that one too then he didn't take another. Or I've completely made that up.
