Arro's very quick to label other people thick and deluded.
What arro doesn't seem to realise is that 'cover' players and 'squad' players have got to be good enough to be first pick when everyone's fit. It's no good having 11 players good enough to be first pick and then another 15 'squad' players who aren't good enough to be first pick. First injury you get, you'll be playing with 10 first picks and a player who isn't good enough to be a first pick, so your team is immediately weakened by having 'squad' players.

Fully understand that too Aries and we have Wasilewski and Moore that are good enough to cover at full back but we want to improve.

We have James, King and Hammond in the middle who can all do a job but we want to improve.

Our forwards are good enough but again we still want to improve!

We are easily good enough to stay up you're kits too thick to realise it!

I believe Nuge will score some more sublime goals... You don't have a single player that can score the goals he can!

You obviously haven't seen Chris Brunt or Saido Berahino then.

It's all very well saying you want to improve, but where are you going to get better players from? You say you're a rich club, but apart from spending £8 million on Ulloa, who else has joined Leicester City this summer?
And "you're kits too thick to realise it" makes no sense in English at all, and you call me thick? Jesus Christ.

"We are easily good enough to stay up you're kits too thick to realise it!"

Some sort of Aussie slang?

You're an idiot that knows nothing about football then aries if you wouldn't want any if our players! You're completely thick!

Have you ever had anger issues, arro?

If you have an iPhone you'll know it has a tendency to change words but I would have at least thought you'd possess the basic intelligence to read between the lines, clearly I was wrong.

You have nothing to base your argument on other than the fact that we're a promoted team. That's it!! That's your total reason for your deluded belief that we'll struggle!

If you had watched us play and seen these players for yourself or if you had Drinky, Vardy, Knocky and Mahrez, I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that you would be just as excited about them because if not I'd seriously have to question why you even bother watching the game.

What you clearly don't seem to get is I know all about football and the PL, having watched and played enough games at a high level. You do realise that all PL games are streamed live around the world yeah?

What else do you think there is to do on a Saturday night for someone that doesn't drink, other than watch football? I know all about the PL and it's abundance of very average players.

Maybe my standards are just higher, which would make sense given our probable difference in football ability.

Never Aries, I'm a stoner and I ain't about the angry life. Life is too short and I'm all about making the most of it. How about you?

I'm just very direct and say it how it is, no point in not being 👍

Leicester won't be all that next season.
For someone who 'knows all about football', you don't seem to realise that Leicester will only add to the abundance of what you call very average players in the PL.
As for your Saturday nights, you don't have to be a drinker to enjoy going out. Maybe you just lack imagination.

I've found people with that approach rarely like it in return.

How about you actually start engaging your brain and consider the fact that Trish, Fox_14 and myself have all made the same noises about the same players, the stability of our club and the ambition of our owners.

We're very very different to your average promoted club because we have owners who bought the club to make us into a brand in Thailand, where there is a huge niche and as business men they're are looking to control that in the way they do the duty free in Thailand.

These guys are extremely successful and have modelled our football club on their business strategies and they clearly know what they're doing.

Did you know that our owner has been a Leicester fan since he saw us win our trophies? I'm sure you didn't!

We have owners who are extremely successful and we now have no debt because they have invested in us for a long term future, with the primary aim to establish us as a Premier League club and make us massive in Asia.

They have the facilities, fans, team to build on, manager, money, business acumen and desire as Leicester City fans to achieve European football. With that in mind, think about where our club is heading.

You haven't got a clue!!

My days of going out partying are over, you get bored of it when you grow up. Nowadays I prefer to spend time with my girlfriend and watch football but thanks for your concern about my life. I'm feeling pretty relaxed looking out from my balcony overlooking my pool and canal. Not a lot to be angry about here 😉

Got any friends, mate? Real ones, I mean. I would very much doubt it. I can't understand what makes you tick.

Just tell us two things. What players have joined Leicester City so far this summer, and what players have left or been the subject of bids from other PL clubs this summer?
That will tell us all we need to know about the magnificent Leicester City squad.

To be honest, pal, it's you who doesn't have a clue if you think it's only Leicester fans who think this way, and you're very naive to think that Leicester are somehow unique in the way they want to operate or are financed. To be honest, I don't think you know much about football or business.

I can't be doing with most people to be honest because in general I don't like the way people conduct themselves.

People are mostly selfish, rarely do selfless acts, manners and politeness are dying traits, they care much more about their aesthetic appearance whether it be possessions, cars etc in the aim to impress because they feel like they can't impress without it.

I also think the way most men behave, portray and speak about women is quite frankly disgusting.

I have a very select group of friends, mostly female, who I can and do talk to about anything and everything except for football, so I believe I have a perfect balance between the two.

You just have great issues with what I'm saying purely because you don't/can't/won't believe it. The season isn't far off starting and then you'll see whether I'm right or not won't you.

Until then believe whatever you want because it makes no difference to me. Irrespective of whether you think other clubs are like us, there's a huge difference between "wanting" and "aiming to achieve" and we're definitely the latter! I think it's you guys that need to wake up and not be so naive 👍

Some pointers on the sporting hotbed that is Thailand:
Football has possibly overtaken muay Thai [Thai kick boxing] as the most widely followed sport in contemporary Thai society. It is not uncommon to see Thais cheering their favourite English Premier League teams on television and walking around in replica kit. Another widely enjoyed pastime, and once a competitive sport, is kite flying.

I seem to remember one Thaksin Shinawatra trying to fly his kite at Manchester City. He got found out in his murky business dealings in Thailand and was sentenced in absentia to two years in jail. He currently lives in Dubai, unable to return to Thailand. His sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, was recently made to stand down as Thailand's PM on similar charges of dodgy business.

So, arro. What players have joined Leicester City so far this summer, and what players have left or been the subject of bids from other PL clubs this summer?

posted on 2/8/14

Actually I'll give you the opportunity to enlighten me with your PL knowledge, which other clubs have a young, very talented squad, excellent manager and the financial backing required to aim for European places?

I'll have a stab at what I think. I'd say Hull, Palace, Burnley, Sunderland, Villa, Stoke, Newcastle, Swansea and WBA don't have the money or aim to do anything other than survive.

QPR have the money and an owner willing to invest but they have a team that is too old and Redknapp in charge who is appalling at signing players. They need to pretty much completely overhaul their entire team.

Southampton have plenty of money now but no players and look to lose Schneiderlin and Rodriguez too, who is actually out until October. So they have money but no players and who is going to want to sign for a club with no players?

How many of your players have been subject to bids from other clubs? Our players haven't been in the spotlight like yours have 😉

Are you going to answer my question? What players have joined Leicester City so far this summer, and what players have left or been the subject of bids from other PL clubs this summer?
Or don't you know the answer?

posted on 2/8/14

I've been to Thailand five times and been all over the country so I'm pretty aware of it's culture 👍

posted on 2/8/14

The players that have joined are Albrighton, plenty of PL experience, Upson who was player of the year and has plenty of PL experience, Ulloa who has scored plenty of goals in the Championship and La Liga and then a couple of youth development players and a goal keeper.

The biggest signings we've made are securing all our players and manager on new contracts.

Southampton were told Vardy isn't for sale and King has been enquired about and told he's not for sale either. There would be no point bidding on our players because they're not for sale. We don't need the money like Southampton did.
