I think both Maddison and Chilwell will be sold for huge fees to big clubs next summer. Leicester are like a talent factory who just keep developing top players and then selling them on.

With the emergence and development of Mount and Emerson I can't see us being after either, unfortunately. Can see Arse, United, and City going all out for Chilwell and United going all out for Maddison to replace Lingard and Mata who are average these days.

Demarai Gray: The Leicester City Nowhere Man Whose Time Is Running Out to Impress

https://www.90min.com/posts/6457850-demarai-gray-the-leicester-city-nowhere-man-whose-time-is-running-out-to-impress

Early on in the second half of Manchester United and Leicester City's recent meeting at Old Trafford, an almighty roar erupted from the Stretford End. The United faithful weren't celebrating a goal, they were celebrating a tackle. 

With Demarai Gray looking to break down the right hand side - and with only his former teammate Harry Maguire to beat - ol' Slabhead stood firm, dispossessing the Foxes winger before swatting him aside and marauding up the pitch to start an attack of his own making. 

This moment has already been canonised by some Manchester United fans as the point in which Maguire became a fully fledged Red Devils hero, the immovable centre-back gallantly standing up to the hysterical Leicester fans who had had the audacity to boo their former talisman when his name was read out before the match. 

It's certainly a nice image - a compelling one as well - however Maguire's tackle is in reality far more symbolic of the point that Demarai Gray is at in his career, as opposed to where the England international is at in his. 

Let's flash back to the moment in question, whilst also adding some 'exposition' as they say in Hollywood. 

Gray inclusion in the starting XI was a shock. The winger had been absent from the squad altogether during the Foxes' opening two fixtures and a solitary substitute appearance against Bournemouth was the only prior time Gray had featured this season.

I said in the summer that these predictions of Spurs being nailed on 3rd were extremely lazy, they have stagnated and are going backwards.

We have a serious shot at a comfortable 3rd place ourselves this season if we can get all our players fit.

Its as it always has been for years now. The media loves to big them up and be there for them.....partly thanks to the eng players they have. They can basically do no wrong. But yes they are done for, not even close to being the team that was close twice getting the title.

Pathetic stuff from Watford. I tuned in here expecting a somewhat competitive match after last weeks results  for these teams and now turned it off after 5 minutes.

Its City......they are too good and experienced to fuck it up often.

4-0 in less than 15 mins. Appoint a new manager to get humiliated.

 

Yikes

 

Edit - FIVE?! Flores ought to be ashamed

It is city. If you watch them play, it is so boring. Unless they conceded bone head goals like last week they usually win game with ease
