Calm down and stop telling people to fuck off please.

The fuck off wasn't aimed at the people and I am sorry if I made it out to sound like it.

Haha chill out buddy! I was just curious why him being in london meant anything? 

I don't know if it means anything. Was just generally surprised as Leicester are at a training camp in Austria, whilist he is chillin in London. Given that Fabregas was spotted when all the rumours about him popped up, I wanted to make a note of it, so that people don't freak out, but also consider it a possibility. 

Firmly believe it won't happen, though.

Has anyone even vaguely reliable linked us with Mahrez?

You would need a lorry full of money for Mahrez I would buy Sofiane Boufal a lot cheaper than Maherz and both players are very similar to each other in style

One player that came to my mind is Jose Fonte, solid CB, was great at Euro 2016, just a shame we couldn´t grab Renato Sanches before Bayern, but one midfielder we should definitely go after is Joao Mario.

I like Fonte, solid CB overall, but already over 30 if I'm not mistaken, would much prefer Koulibaly/Mustafi.
Two young players we should've been all over in the past two years are Renato and Dembele, we didn't grab any of them, we're going to regret it for the next 10 years and more. Shame.
I've been watching highlights videos of Joao, (Up until before the Euro didn't know too much about him) and now I'm more and more convinced he could be a very solid midfielder for us, and seeing how our chase for Nainggolan failed I'd welcome him here with open arms.

i agree, we should have chased at least one of those players, but now it´s more and more difficult, Joao Mario is up for grabs, but he wont come cheap, Sporting´s President is a real hard ass. Nainggolan would be great tough, but it seems a lost cause, one player i wanted for sometime now is Verratti or even Witsel

A lorry full of money gets you in positions to win things, scraping the barrel and thinking the team is 'decent' is no good to us. We cannot in this window and we haven't penny pinched so far, if we think a player is available for that position then we should move for him. If it costs 40M to get Mahrez here and players like Oscar and the other dead wood make up for it then great. 

This squad need quality not just on the field but really good options on the bench. Players like Pedro are bench options, Mahrez should be starting, that's the depth I am talking about.

The TV money and RA mate makes us not worry now, forget Leeds, they only way we should be compared is the country we are in and not the financial carry on.

If a player fits what we need we go for them, whether it's Mahrez or some other player. Leicester was a total freak happening, it won't happen again soon, we need the desire of the coach and big money spent on this team and very quickly.

Boufal is a left sided player, the same side as Hazard.

Boufal can play on either flank or in the No.10 role very useful player to have in your squad

Those aren't preferred positions. He's shown the most potential on the left so you don't buy him and stick him on the right.
