Defensively too good and they will still have Vardys pace and goals

From a footballing point of view he would be better off staying at Leicester than joining those cnuts. They are in the champions league proper, Chelsea not even in Europe and no guarantee that they will be next season. But money talks.

Their defensive strength was to a large part based on Kante protecting the back 4. Lose him and they just have the cloggers at the back.

They've signed a defensive mid from France, Mendy is his name I think. Who knows he may be just as good or maybe better than Kante. After all no one had a scooby about Kante at the start of last season.

But with all the games they have this season, they'll lack rotation options.

Martin Peters
He is well worth us going for
I said it before last season but now he will cost 5 times as much
We need a curve ball game changer and he is perfect with pace to burn

But they are about to get a 32 mill cash injection on top of what they already have to spend. I don't think they will lack numbers next season

Tottenham have joined the race to signMarseille wide man George-Kevin N’Koudou, according to reports in La Provence.
However, the north London club face competition for the France U21 international's signature from the likes of both Hamburg and Sevilla.
N’Koudou, 21, is expected to cost around €15m.

Too much of a goal threat isn't he

Definitely, if we can manage it. Thing is, I don't see any of the other big boys looking for a player like him - Arsenal don't need another AM, United have just signed Mkhitaryan and Mourinho's stated that he wants to play 4-3-3 anyway, Chelsea have Willian and the rest of that bunch, Liverpool have enough AMs...and he probably isn't a good fit for Pep's style at City.
If it's true that he's rejected a new contract worth 80k a week, we could do worse than throw an inquiry his way. at least. We could offer him 100-120k quite easily, and I doubt anyone would complain about him becoming one of the highest paid players at the club given that, y'know, he's fresh off winning the league.
He seems like he'd be a great fit - quick with the ball at his feet, excellent first touch, proven in the league, still only 25, champion. He might cost a fee too steep for Levy to bother commencing no doubt long-drawn out negotiations for, but if we're looking for an AM as the third addition to the side, he ticks every box. Plus, if the Belgian chemistry's any indicator, Bentaleb could use the boost his countryman arriving would provide him.
From Mahrez's perspective, though, I could see why a move to Spurs would be relatively unappealing - we can pay him more than what he rejected at Leicester, we can give him the chance to live and play in London, and we can now offer him CL football - but he could also get CL football at Leicester, and the bit of extra money we could probably offer him probably wouldn't compensate for the low likelihood of us winning anything for the time he spends here, given how cavalierly we sometimes treat cup competitions and how predictably our league performance hovers around the 70-point mark. For a 25-year old player, it's certainly not a deal-breaker (he could spend a couple of relatively lucrative years at Spurs and then move on again to a genuine superclub if he impresses), but he'd probably look to make the jump straight to whatever superclub will take him, which probably means a move abroad given (as I said) that domestic clubs don't look like they really need him.

And Harry had one goal in three months at the beginning of last season. What's your point?
That Mahrez is 25 years old and has only managed to perform for 4 months at the highest level. If he was a few years younger or 20 million cheaper he might be worth a punt.
