You may have a point regarding Vardy and Kante although it was reported we had a bid for £30 million for Vardy -which we rejected (allegedly). Kante has been strongly rumoured and linked to both Chelsea (Makelele mould) and Arsenal so who can tell if this is accurate or indeed the value? Mahrez again strongly linked to Barcelona and Real Madrid (he is a Barca fan - pictures of him in the Barca kit are doing the rounds) so the £50 million is a punt, who knows what he could realise? What I think is certain is that we could fend off bids from Chelsea and Arsenal but would find it impossible to do so if Barca or Madrid came knocking at the door. I would hope the lure of potential Champions League football would be enough to keep them all but in the real world I feel we will lose at least one of them in Mahrez.

Okay £100-£150 million, is that better? Vardy has been touted at ~£30 million. Kante at ~£40 million. Mahrez rumoured at ~£50million.

Definately do sell beer in the ground.

Thank you all for your well wishes (including the veiled ones)! FYI if you want to see the reaction of our fans to what is going on have a peek at talkingballs which is our unofficial website if by and large sensible City fans. No matter how the next seven games pan out we really need to try to hang on to Vardy, Kante and Mahrez. They are our engine and probably worth £150 million between them. If you are the sort of fan who likes to concentrate on one opponents player during our game focus on Kante - he is the best midfield 'ball winner' I have seen in the Blue of LCFC, very similar to Claude Makele. Good luck again for the rest of the season and I really hope you secure a European place for next season.

Leicester fan here in peace. Firstly I have really enjoyed Southamptons achievements over the last few seasons, all football fans enjoy watching the underdog punch above their weight and dishing out a few bloody noses to the aristocrats. A couple of seasons ago as I recall you had a fantastic 3/4 of a season and looked like you could win the thing - as per above all real fans of the game were disappointed you didn't and this season isn't it a case of time catching up with you in terms of selling your best players for a couple of seasons and not replacing the with the same quality or better? Anyway to the game at our gaff. A tough one to call in my opinion as your comeback against Liverpool should certainly have put a spring in your step and that added to the carrot of a European place makes this a tricky fixture for us. I have been a city fan for 41 years and never seen anything remotely like it before - I doubt I will again to be honest. You know what though whether we win it or not oh have I enjoyed the ride. We've tightened up a bit of late and this is at least partly due to teams showing us more respect and sitting deeper and not wishing to push too many players forward which has given us the gaps to counter attack. Anyhow I've taken up enough of your forum now and so bid you farewell and good luck for the rest of the season (bar Sunday of course)...
