Leicester City

TEAM BACKGROUND
Welcome back to the greatest job on Earth ! In my first career I will start with Leicester City in my attempt to bring glory to the club.

CHAMPIONSHIP AND LEAGUE CUP
Well, the minimum expectations this year in the league are finishing in a respectable position, from my point of view that's between 5th-8th position. With a media prediction of 7th and a club filled with high wages and bight depths, this is going to be quite a challenge.
As you can see the team is all over the place from the scoring aspect. This has to change in order to progress to the next level. It is essential to have a striker on which you can rely on that he scores frequently.
So, as you might expect after seeing the league results, The Foxes are high up in the table. Unbeaten in ten games we find ourselves in 2nd position in a promotion place. 
In the Capital One Cup we managed to achieve our season expectation and nothing more. We might say now that things might have went a little bit different if we wanted. But that's all for this year.

SQUAD DEPTH
Here we have a closer look at the squad. The depth in the team is more that enough for the first part of the season, until the transfer window.
The main thing that worries me at the moment is the amount of payroll that the club has. Just looking at the squad you can easily notice 1mil.+ salaries. In the winter transfer period we will have to let go to some high wage player in order to avoid a financial crisis.
It is "in-human" to have a current player wage total of 19.7 mil. in the Championship, a competition that doesn't generate the amount of money like the EPL.

TRANSFERS AND MARCO TORSIGLIERI
Now let's have some fun and talk about another happy aspect at the club, and that is the signing on loan of Marco Torsiglieri from Metalist. At the moment he is one of the best player in the league with an average rating of 7.49.

The only thing I hope in this moment is that the financial status of the club will stay above the line , in order to permanently sign most player that are on loan at the club. I have big plans, not only for Marco, but for Lestienne, Fetfatzidis and Mahaya.

NEXT UP FOR THE FOXES
It looks easier from now on and we hope to maintain our good streak. 
Best regards until next time!
