In spite of a few notable, and previously important, players leaving Leicester City with expiring contracts, all else is deathly quiet on Filbert Way. While City supporters waved goodbye to Ricardo Pereira, some fans actually offered to pack Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew's bags and drive them to East Midlands Airport!
Meanwhile, Jamaal Lascelles was almost more disappointing or unimpactful than yours truly predicted. The former Newcastle United favourite was certainly typical for the standard the Blue Army have come to be underwhelmed by in the modern era.
Nevertheless one or two sales should have been arranged, or even arguably agreed, by now. Yet no completions nor agreements have been announced at King Power Stadium as of yet.
It is not that the Leicester faithful want their stars gone. However, the loyal LCFC support understands that financial safety and adherence dictate here.
Raising Leicester City capital or retaining youth
Jeremy Monga is the first valuable asset expected to be relinquished. Though a wait for his 17th birthday on July 10 is underway due to a professional City contract allegedly automatically scheduled for that date.
Monga literally and figuratively has the world at his feet: with the ball itself acting as the globe. Paris Saint-Germain of France's Ligue 1 are ostensibly fans, as are Spanish juggernauts Real Madrid. Manchester United, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and almost every huge English side desire the youngster's signature; even Brentford are reportedly in with a shout.
Apparently it is the Gunners who might perhaps snag the precocious baller, albeit the 16-year-old has been warned that his career could regress by a few experts. Monga would be LCFC's main star should he stay; money likely equals an exit, sadly.
"If he goes to United, is he going straight into their first team? If he goes to Arsenal, is he going to play for sure? No. These kids honestly need first team football.Emile Heskey via MSN
"He is a very, very good player, but he needs to be pushed, he needs to be challenged, and he needs to experience the real pressures of going up against adult professionals week in, week out"
Whether the teenage winger heeds cautionary tales regarding his development remains the lingering question. The delay to North London is probably just the age and fee situation.
