Leicester are just another Blackburn at the end of the day. They spent big and won the big one. That's all well and good but look where they are back again now. We're a consistent top 6 club most seasons and have been for many years. One of the the teams that's been in this league since it became Premier. Its a big step up for Maddison and I really hope he elevates his game. He could be a player who Ange gets the best out of but also just by having better players around him he'll do better.

Yeah no really, they just lucked out on signing three gems for nothing i.e. Vardy/Mahrez/Kante

You are quick to judge. You said his friend beat someone up. So, I googled it. The guy was found not guilty, as it was deemed an act of self defence. Again, you have picked 2 instances and used it to frame what you think about him. Everyone makes mistakes, you and I included.
City player's friend punched man in self defence on night out
Nathan Cadby acted in self-defence thinking he was going to be attackedwww.google.com
I believe what happened next was that the bloke hit the deck and Cadby was shouting at him: "Get up, get on up"

I love a midfield where all three can score, create and defend to varying levels. So much less predictable because they can’t just double up on one creative player

They broke FFP in the Championship and would have been sanctioned had they not got promoted.

In fairness there's some strong competition for AM slots from guys like Mount and Foden. But yeah, it seems as though Southgate hasn't taken to him for some reason. Maybe a little too opinionated for Gareth's liking?

Yep, and while they may have not spent at Chelsea levels of crazy, they spent way beyond their means and stuck themselves in an unsustainable position.

They did in comparison to their income.
Not on the levels of the likes of Chelsea and arsenal but still way more than they should have for a club of their size/income.
It was a comparative big spend.

The season they won the title their net spend was £20m. That is not big in any sense of the word.

Their wages to turnover was something ridiculous like 110% wasn't it?

I know he‘s got a reputation, but have you seen him interviewed? He actually comes across well and much smarter than the average footballer.

Yeah but it's not about net spend in one season though, it's about the seasons before and after that, along with the wages they were paying compared to their turnover.
No matter how you try to frame it, Leicester have spent big because they've spent well beyond their means over a few years.
