Leandro Paredes

That's not very much these days sadly. We bought Drinkwater for that sum or there abouts and he hardly kicked a ball for us.

Nearly £60 million for a frozen out Dortmund winger too.

Probably because they knew he was going to leave? doesn't mean they don't rate him. We did the same to Solanke, club still rated him and wanted to keep him.

That's great news if true, although the article doesn't really make it clear whether the author has insider information or whether he is simply extrapolating from the events of the past couple of weeks. 

Matt Law is the author. He normally gets his stuff from close to the club if not from the club. Now as to whether Sarri is on the same page as Marina's people who would have given him rhat is another matter...

None of the youth players play CDM though. Or as close to it as there is in Sarri’s system. Let’s face it, Ampadu is a centre half. Mount plays attacking mid and so does Rueben. I like the fact we have held off on paying too much for Paredes but another player in that position isn’t going to block the youth.

No one in our current team is a CDM...

I think Ampadu is at that stage of his career where he needs to make a decision whether he wants to play CB or CDM, I believe he has the potential to do well and become a top class player in either role but he must himself come to that decision as to where he feels most comfortable. Don't want to see him waste his talent by becoming a jack of all trades as I truly believe if he applies himself to a particular skill he will really grow into that particular position.

Leicester are reportedly in talks to sign youri tielemans from Monaco for £20m. I think he could be a decent gamble. He can strike well from distance, quick feet, great range of passing. It hasn't gone great for him at Monaco, but he is still only 21, and with a manager like sarri, in a system that needs a deep lying playmaker, he could make that step up.

Tielemans is looking very good for Leicester. Surely missed a trick not going for him in January.
