You just can’t satisfy some people.
Three points clear at the top of the Premier League and Leicester City are not resting on their laurels.
They might have the division’s top scorer already on their books but it hasn’t stopped Claudio Ranieri going out and splashing a club record fee for Loic Remy.
It is being reported that the league leaders are ready to bring the Chelsea striker to the Midlands for around £11.5m after a loan bid for the same player was rejected.
– “Can we have him on loan?”
– “No.”
– “Okay, here’s all of our money.”
Loic Remy to #LCFC. Sorry Newcastle fans.

It seems that the promise of Champions League football was too much for Loic Remy to turn down as he prepares to leave Chelsea’s relegation battle.
If you want to win trophies, you join clubs like Leicester. Not Chelsea.
But Ranieri does have previous with these kind of big-money signings and the question remains whether or not Remy is his sort of player. Or Leicester’s.
@McFindlay indeed, but a great addition with AK loaned out. Just issue attitude wise if he doesn't play & CR loves to bench a record signing
