Surprised. Out of our "main" 3 I expected Kante and mahrez to leave but vardy to stay. In the end it's not the end of the world. We'll be getting £15ish mill for someone we paid £1mill for and Fleetwood will get the biggest payday they've ever had, it will literally reshape that football club.

Hopefully we can replace him with someone who plays like him, Musa or slimini are being suggested atm, whether we can get them or not is the other story. We have someone lined up to replace Kante already and if Mahrez leaves it will give Gray the chance to show what he can do.

Not the first time we've lost our better players and won't be the last.

Plus as an added bonus the only reason left for me to watch that joke of a national team is leaving.

I see, can you understand Vardy leaving tho? I wont lie, didn't expect this either. I said here before that I think Vardy wouldn't leave and just wait out his career at Leicester, but football can be cruel and surprising at times.

I really do hope your boys wont be to shaken by it (and also by other players leaving). I think Okazaki might be a god shout to replace him imo. Slimani also had an amazing season.

Ofc I understand. He's just married someone who is desperate for a glamorous, in the papers all the time, lifestyle. Plus he has at best 1 or 2 seasons left and if someone is offering him over a hundred grand a week for FOUR years then he'd be an idiot to turn it down.

We'll be fine. The sky was falling last season when cambiasso left, that didn't turn out too bad did it.

we'll always have our trophy, which is more than what the most optimistic city fan expected.
