For me, both at their best, Youri is the better player despite their different styles. Put a gun to my head and I might choose Youri but Wilf is a phenomenon and we'd only realise how important he is when he went 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve questioned for a few years just how much KP are putting into the club (rather than just standing as a guarantor on loans). We cannot attempt to be a top six club on a self sufficient basis - we dont generate enough income. Must be difficult for Top, i wonder how much he was part of the ins and outs of the King Power enterprise, and how much the rest of the family are involved and share his love of Leicester City 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP are putting money into the club, the only thing is it is indirectly funding the club through infrastructure. This allows us to use other revenue to finance bringing players in as we would not be able to finance the building of a first class Training Ground any time soon. So far our policy in respect of building the team has worked and we have grown stronger with the talent on the pitch (although not mentally strong enough). There is no point bemoaning any perceived lack of financing, because we are being underpinned by King Power, and that is a great place for us to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetintedspecs Posted 3 June 2021 Share Posted 3 June 2021 Re the Wilf or Youri debate I may upset a few as imo if you looked over the last 2 seasons, when playing, Wilf is more valuable/ would be missed more. Youri has been ever present and immense this season yes, however, I feel he was not great for quite a chunk of last season yet we adapted with options formations but when Wilfs absent I think we really struggle. Just my opinion mind and I 100% don't want to lose either! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 3 June 2021 Share Posted 3 June 2021 He'll only leave if we're selling. If he doesn't sign a contract, it is up to us to decide whether to sell now for a good price or risk his contract running to the last year and maybe hope he signs a new deal in that time. I still think he'll sign and maybe leave next summer where we get a better deal and fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 3 June 2021 Share Posted 3 June 2021 Obviously would be happier if he signed a new long term deal, but it’s quite simple really if he doesn’t. Win EL next season, automatic pot 1 for CL, following year win that then he can go on a free with our blessings. Except of course he won’t want to so will sign a lifetime contract and in ten years we name the family stand after him after completing construction of the new trophy cabinet building. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I do think KPs aim is to eventually get us to a position where we do have a significantly bigger self sufficient budget so we can be a “top 6” club rather than just challenge. I mean we may never reach Man City level but I think given 5-10 years we could easily have a budget matching Tottenham and arsenals. Given long enough I think we will be challenging regularly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not have the vision, awareness or touch of Tielemans so not a replacement but better on the ball and as effective as Ndidi. As said before his pass is the pass before the assisted pass. We will be so solid in certain games and prevents us being over run as we tend to only play two in our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 Soumare isn't like Ndidi, isn't like Tielemans. He's all about giving the squad a different quality in a starting-caliber player, someone whose skillset is distinct from anyone we currently have. Doesn't do anything about our lack of attacking options though, even if Tielemans stays. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxin_Mad Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 If Tielemans has to leave at any point I hope it is to a decent club in Europe and not the Scouse Victims or United. Scousers are unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 4 June 2021 Share Posted 4 June 2021 Don't want any of our top players to go. we must keep them and add quality and support to the team. Get rid of the players that need getting rid of. That should be the focus of the club! Especially with Barnes and JJ coming back but who knows how rusty they will be. Probably won't see the best of them until the new year. That means we have to build the squad like they didn't even exist sad as it seems. We got burnt this season thinking players like Ricky would hit the ground running when he clearly was off the pace for the large part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
