Can they actually get a champions league spot this season?
![robert-huth-586663[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/lKtpUxW.jpg "robert-huth-586663[1].jpg")
We are winning the league lad
Not even a questian at this point. The real question is can they win eplel
>>64258184
>yfw leicester wins the premier league before liverplop
the new leeds united
They'll manage top 4, but they won't make it to the title.
Any team bad enough to get BTFO by Arselel cannot win the title.
>>64258278
Imagine ABL shitpost that day
>>64258184
barring injury to either vardy or mahrez, they'll make top 4 without a doubt. The standard this year is really pretty poor
1st
It's actually pretty likely at this point. The question is whether or not they can win the title.
what odds are being given for leicester to win prem? prob worth a tenner
>>64258184
>champions league
Plastic cup, fuck that. PL is the target.
>>64260440
16/1
>>64260440
20/1 on betfair, I had a fiver at 34/1.
They have a tough run of games now until February but after that they have 9 games in a row against mid table or bottom half teams.
If they can hang in there for the next 6 games then they are in with a real chance. Obviously they need to keep Vardy, Mahrez and Kante in January too, and avoid injuries.
>>64260453
>>64260468
worth a tenner that
>>64260507
It's a magic year. No one will leave.
>>64260573
I will never respect any player that leaves Leicester in January. The same offers will still be there at the end of the season. I hope they don't get greedy and throw away the chance to be part of history.
>>64258184
Only 16 games in, ask again when we reach 30 games.
>>64263241
Just have faith in Vardy(smhfam), Mash'Lestah
yes, and it will be the end of englel's coefficient
based Huth and Ozazaki and the other Bundesliga rejects taking down EPL for good
>>64263241
No team with this amount of points at this point of the season has failed to get top four in pl history
>>64263241
this is such a cop out. 'only' halfway through the season so I own't give an opinion in case I'm wrong
loads of journalists spout this shit too
>>64263340
Yeah, how dare people not make silly outlandish predictions when the season isn't close to being over?
>>64260507
this...
I think Kante is particularly important. he always fights for every ball, decent tackler, decent on the ball, and a decent passer.
He was a really good pick up for them, though i suppose not irreplaceable.
I think if they sell Mahrez or he gets injured/loses form, then they will definitely start to struggle
>>64263376
It's not a prediction, it's a legitimate discussion. There 16 games played, more than enough to have this sort of discussion.
Nothing outlandish about it either. But all these wankers afraid to make any comments on the horse race until all the horses have crossed the finish line
>>64258184
Considering pic related, its very much possible.
>>64258323
Liverpool will actually lose the right to use 'ABL' as it will then refer to Anyone But Leicester
It's not really a matter of 'if' Leicester can win the league at this point, more how many records can they break along the way.

>>64263145
>I will never respect any player that leaves Leicester in January.
Lets hope vardy and mahrez still have your respect.
>>64272277
you mean the reality of chelski being relegated?
>you know remember /sp/ hating on leicester when they got promoted because the chairman said he wanted to get to the top 5 in a couple of years
>>64263331
>forgetting Newcastle in the 94/95 season
They had one point less than Leicester at this point in the season and finished 6th
>>64264322
this is what abls actually believe
>>64265489
god I hope so, put a tenner on it at 100/1
>>64258184
Yes. But they will get exposed as fuck next year.
>>64272308
Yeah we should know better. What with the long history of newly promoted teams finishing top 5 within 2 years.
>>64272324
>ambition is bad
>>64272334
Yeah thats not my point at all, i just dont know why you singled out sp, literally no one thought this would happen.
>>64272376
/sp/ was literally hoping they would get relegated because he said that
same way they all want newcastle relegated because their fans arent happy finishing 17th and want to try to do better
>>64272389
Personally, I just feel bad for Newcastle fans. They're the 7th-richest team in the Premier League, they've got the 7th-highest wage bill, but they consistently look like one of the worst teams in England. It's bizarre.
>>64272403
It's not bizarre, they're plain shit at spending their money.
>>64272417
It's bizarre that they're so shit at it. At the very least you'd expect them to be comfortably mid-table.
>muh December
>muh depth
>muh tough 5 fixtures
I said weeks ago that lester can win 2 of their 5 tough games. Chelsea being one of them. And as for depth, their owner is rich as fuck. They can easily sign a few players in January to help them push for the title/top 4
Lads, has there ever been a season like this where the club doomed for relegation in the previous season btfo everyone and won the title the next season?
>>64272430
dunno about eplel but Kaiserslautern won the league the same year when they got promoted (1998.)
mahrez and vardy will leave in January. Leicester will plummet down the table. Will finish in the top 10.
>>64272444
>Bundeshitga
>>64272445
Why would they leave when there's the possibility of making one of the greatest premier league moments happen thus increasing their worth tenfold
>>64272462
Are you seriously asking why someone would leave a club where they're earning £5-10k a week?
Not sure if related, but has sosa killed himself yet?
It would be like an early Christmas present to me.
>>64272478
No, I'm saying they can wait 5 months
>>64272491
You're right that it would be stupid for them to leave but it's all about the money in football.
>>64272491
They could, but :
1-Players can get really stupid (I suspect that both Mahrez and Vardy are idiots)
2-Agents can be really greedy (and they don't give a shit about titles)
3-Their main contenders will probably try their hardest to lure them away from Leicester to get rid of a possibly annoying opponent
Stop the fucking 'money' meme, please.
At present both are on 45k. That's about to go up to 90k. Mahrez's image rights will make him rich in the owner's home markets, if he paid 250 pw.
And if Vardy is leaving in January, why has he just bought a new house in Oakham?
Take a look at the goals conceded table. You have to go to 14th place (Bournemouth) to find a team who conceded more than Lester (22). When teams figure out that all they have to do is stop Vardy and Mahrez it's over
I hope they do so next year eplel coefficient drops even lower
>>64272881
it will most likely go up this year
>>64272268
I was going to say it's because of the blue home shirt, but Walkers have blue for salt and vinegar, and red for ready salted flavour.

Check out this tactical mastermind. Fucking hell lads he's cracked the code. All they have to do is stop Vardy and Mahrez! It's so simple. Leicester will never win gain now.
>>64272478
Mahrez already said that he's not going anywhere in January

Damn son, you inspired me to find a tactical solution to beat Barcelona. All you have to do is stop Messi, Suarez and Nerman and it's over

City/United/Chelsea/Liverpool/Spurs transfer policy in a nuthsell
Literally why would anyone want to leave the top of the table team though? Leicester have plenty of money, they're going to get well paid. I understand leaving Villa but I can't see this.
Leicester is the only PL club in the title race who are on an actual high this season. Everyone else is having a shit one.
>>64273376
I bet you think Shevchenko and Crespo were good too.

Once again, armchair economists dismiss large amounts of money like it's nothing.
Jamie Vardy will turn 29 in less than a month. The next contract he signs is going to be the last big one of his career. Let's say Leicester will offer him £100k a week, while City/United will offer him £150k a week. Turning down an extra £50k a week on a 5 year contract would mean that he'd get paid £13m less over the course of the deal. After tax, that would be around £7,150m.
You are literally dismissing over £7m because "you can't see anyone wanting to leave the top of the table team"
>>64258243
TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>64273462
No one is going to offer £150k a week for a 29yo Vardy.
>>64273547
Whatever, I have no idea how much exactly he's going to get. It was just an example.
What's certain is that City or United will offer him significantly more money than Leicester
Mahrez is going to get injured/go out of form/sold and they'll be proper fucked like
This team is running on memeplayers, they have very little depth.
>>64273605
>they have very little depth
I wouldn't be so sure about that, they have drinkwater, kante and albrighton who are all quite capable, their defense is quite weak but improving, but yeah losing Mahrez would be a huge loss for them.
>>64273605
They don't play in Europe and are out of the League Cup. They don't need to rotate
>>64273235
somebody shop memerhez on this
>>64273636
http://www.whoscored.com/Teams/14/
Their core squad is roughly 15-16 players. It's inevitable that they'll struggle in december/january rush. The density of games on a squad that can barely rotate will take its toll. 3 injuries to key players and they're completely fucked.
>>64273245
>Words are pretty meaningless in football

The only hard part about this "rush" is playing 3 games in 8 days, 2 of them at home. It's really not that hard. Top European teams play every 3-4 days almost all year
>>64272478
>5-10 k a week

You can't seriously say west brom played as well as Leicester have been playing though. Leicester are playing genuinely well, west brom and the like we're pure flukes and people knew this which is why no one seriously talked of the title like they are about Leicester

What the fuck are you even supposed to prove here? A team that was 6th in mid December was 9th at the end of January.
Wow, a team dropped 3 places over 7 weeks. That surely proves that league leading Leicester will fall off.
Just fuck off
>>64273872

the small squad clubs wont keep pace with the bigger squads of the established sides
>>64273884
Agreed, reckon it will be only a matter of time before Liverpool are fighting Lester for 10th position
>>64273884
Sunderland went from 16th to 11th over the same period of time and actually made up 6 points to league leading United and 7 points to City who were 2nd
That proves that small squad clubs can keep pace with the bigger squads
Fuck off

>>64273547
>No one is going to offer £150k a week for a 29yo Vardy.
If Vardy helps Utd/City whoever win the league, he's worth £300k a week
Van Persie was on the cusp of decline with a grey head of hair and he was worth 1 good season out of 3
You think United wanted their last league title to be in 2011? RVP was worth every penny and more for that one season
>>64273928
Sunderland going from 16th to 11th while making up ground to league leaders in 12/13 is a cold hard fact
Southampton going from 5th into the top 4 while making up ground to league leaders is a cold hard fact
>cherrypick facts to suit your narrative

Southampton kept pace (exceeded their pace even) with the top clubs over the December/January period last season.
>>64273954
>Southampton going from 5th into the top 4 while making up ground to league leaders is a cold hard fact
and then they fell away and finished below liverpool who were dogshit all season and didnt even have a striker
>>64273969
and then dropped off cause of the hectic schedule and squad depth.
you don't get it, so i will leave you be.

>>64273952
I'd like to see him at United just for shits n giggles.
Not sure who would supply him though. Memepiss is shit, Mata is in terrible form and the right wing is non-existant.
>>64273981
But not during December, so christmas fixtures weren't the problem here
>>64273992
>hectic schedule
what hectic schedule? They only played league games from February till May which pretty much means a game every week. How the fuck is that hectic?
ABL (anyone but Leicester) is a mental disease
>>64274021
Like i said, you don't get it.
There is a reason why only 4 teams have won the league in years upon years.
> (anyone but Leicester) is a mental disease
I want leicester to do well, i hope they win the fucking league. don't confuse realism with bias you fruitcake.
this "it's only Mahrez and Vardy" meme needs to stop
strikers score a lot only if they have a team behind
the truth is Leicester have extremely good chemistry and a good midfield
the fact a decent player like Inler can't fit in the team is a clear sign
>>64274053
They have let in 22 goals though. Their goal difference is pretty steady at the moment, but goals conceded is often a good indication of how a team is doing overall too.
>>64272308
I remember /sp/ hating on Leicester because they're furries.
>>64274103
Damn son. How you get past the Great Firewall?
>>64273395
What type of blasphemy is this? Shevchenko was a God for a couple of years
>>64274162
According to /sp/, everybody is shit.
A team with Danny fucking Drinkwater playing a pivotal role in the team is not going to win the premier league
And funny enough he's picked up a hamstring injury
It would be pretty nice if thy could pull that offbut I doubt it. Not enough depth, let Vahrez and shit chatter be injured for a few weeks and they're done
Who will Leicester buy in the winter window, if any? Maybe they could swoop for Pato and partner him with Vardy.
>>64274261
What's wrong with Drinkwater? PROTIP: Nothing
He'd start for United
>>64273764
whatever you do- don't put money on Arsenal winning the league m8
>>64274295
Charlie Austin to replace that donkey Ulloa.
and they need a versatile player that can cover many positions.
>>64274362
As a Sunderland fan, I hope this doesn't happen :(

>He'd start for United
You probably thought you were making a point there
>there are people out there who havent placed a tenner on Leicester to win the eplel
Pretty much free money m9s
>>64274404
He does everything Carrick and Schweiny do but he does it with more energy.
In fact he'd probably be United's captain
A team like leicester doing so well remind me of why I started watching football in the first place
the atmosphere in their stadium against chelsea was amazing and I wish them all the best. god bless you.

>>64274589
That is what the atmosphere used be like at all games 20 years ago before the plastics and bandwagoners ruined everything.
Leicester on a Monday night doesn't have all the casuals that kill the atmosphere.
>>64275212
At least not yet. Just watch what happens if they win the title.
The better question is how well would they actually do in the Champions League
Could they beat Barcelona?
Could they even beat the likes of Gent/Astana?
Could Messi do it on a cold night at the King Power?
>>64275302
The casuals can't get in m8, the limit is 32,500. There's only 3k general sales and you can't get them.
They're increasing the capacity to 42k, hopefully lots of cheap ladd tickets there.
They actually can but I don't think they will
The way they play and the depth of their squad will see them tire in February.
>>64275356
Celtic beat Barcelona, so I think they probably could. Leicester would beat them 1-0 in the group stages, then get BTFO in every other game and vanish into obscurity while Barcelona win another fucking Champions League.
