Read that Chelsea are looking to offload him abroad. Could he not do a job for us as a loan player? Possibly with an option to purchase at the end of the season. Wages would be an issue but perhaps Chelsea could help out there till the end of the season as City have done with Joe Hart?

The window closed last week

My mistake. I thought the loan window was still open till end August!

We where linked with him just before he moved to Leicester.

Seems like a Dyche type player. Maybe one to consider in Jan if he's still at Chelsea given our lack of cover in midfield

The usual comeback with someone of his profile is, wages might be an issue. So think he'll be out of our league won't he?

Thats just for the Football League. He can still go abroad though as some transfer windows are still open.

Can't see us signing Drinkwater whilst he is at Chelsea. Would you take a 50 grand a week pay cut?

Premier league.

He could go out on loan to the championship or L1/L2.

Drinkwater is a good player made great by Vardy running on to all his direct passing.
Trouble is there's not a lot of Vardy's out there making them sort of runs.

On paper him and Kante reuniting their title winning midfield partnership should have been a dream,in reality it's turned into a nightmare for Danny.

I can see more players buying into the team mentality and wanting to play for a club like us, especially if it works for Joe Hart

I reading things wrong? Joe Hart is not on loan from City. So presumably not 'helping out with wages' either. Though i'll happily be corrected.

Yeah, he ****** up big style by joining them. The idiot. He could be playing Europa League football right now but instead he wasted his time at Leicester. Loser.

It has been widely reported that City gave him a payout to cover the difference in wages for the first 12 months of his contract with us - he falls to within our pay structure from the moment he signed - we have not broken that for him

Yep but at least he has sheds loads of cash, a 6 pack, fit bird and a job

And a Premier League winners medal, which was the whole point of my post, but maybe you ducked.
