Just a bit of 'light hearted' fun, name the 5 Players you think will leave this Summer, Not want to go but you think they will, no need to expand your reasons but of course you can if you wish.
In order of likelihood
1/ Maguire
2/ Mahrez
3 / Ndidi
4 / Silva
5/ Vardy
Not very optimistic I know but all 5 going wouldn't surprise me.
Who will Go?

Since when under the Thais have we gone about selling players that we didn't want to? Granted Kante, but he had a release clause that made it unavoidable.
I'm going to assume this is about players that we actually want to keep leaving, ie even folks like King and Jakupovic are void in this while others like Musa and Slimani are completely off the radar. Then...
1. Mahrez. Likely
2. Ndidi. Conceivable
3. Maguire. Unlikely
4. Iborra. Unlikely, but depends whether he wants to go back to Spain.
5. Gray. Very unlikely, but it's vaguely possible a bid might arrive and that we cash in.
Then
6. Vardy. Very unlikely. Perfectly conceivable that someone sticks in a bid but he's the golden goose and the owners will be perfectly aware of that. Even more so than Mahrez when it comes to the fan base. I'm certain they would fight like hell to keep him and the fans would expect it.

Mahrez - yes, because a) he wants to go and b) he's one of the best attacking midfielders in the league, again, despite playing in an average performing team
Maguire - probably not, anybody scouting him will probably report they have been equally impressed with him being comfortable on the ball going forward and unimpressed with him defensively - with a top 6 club in mind.
Ndidi - may be a risk of him going, but much more likely if he stays and has another season like the last one, particularly if he continues his development.
Silva - not sure why he'd leave, he's hardly set the place on fire so I don't reckon he's going to be top of anyone's wish list, and he has started showing a bit better in recent games that might encourage both him and the club to persevere.
Vardy - maybe if a top 6 club offered him a reasonable deal, he's probably cheesed off with being isolated and starved of possession, but may have had a bit of a boost in the last couple of games. Outstanding season though given how awful we've been for large chunks of it. Age probably counts against him though (I hope).
More likely to go in addition to Riyad:
- Benny
- Kingy 😧
- Slim
- Musa

I fear two big players will leave:
1. Mahrez (obvs)
2. Ndidi (ðŸ˜)
Ndidi has been linked with top 6 clubs and for me he’s ready. I look at the dross behind the front 3 in the current Liverpool team and can’t help but worry he’d fit perfectly there! That said, Hendo is going to lead us to World Cup glory!
Outside of this, I think if Puel stays we’ll see some of the old guard shifted on. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the following leave:
3. Morgan (for regular football)
4. Simpson (as above)
5. Fuchs (time for the US)
He’s one for Nev. is it time for Kasper to find a new challenge? Probably not. Even if we brought in a new player to challenge for the number 1 spot, I think Kasper would stay until dropped. Would still like Butland though - top keeper and just needs to get his form back after lengthy injuries and playing in a shocking Stoke team!

Mahrez: assuming someone stumps up the dosh
Ndidi: rumours of Liverpool sniffing around a while back
Iborra: is he completely clear of the match fixing scandal? They were looking at 6 year bans...
Fuchs
Morgan
Simpson
Now is the time to say goodbye...goodbye
Now is the time to yield a sigh... yield it, yield it...
Dragovic: does he stay or does you go?

Article is a bit dramatic, never going to sell 5 key players. Mahrez is a cert to go however.

Forgot about Ulloa, Musa and Slim. Feel bad mentioning Leo in the same sentence as the other two.
Anyone see the video of slim getting lost in the bowels of St James Park? Kind of sums up his career so far over here.

It is but they are all players I'm concerned about because they would all help strengthen other Top teams that need to improve.
After another meh Season I'm concerned they'll start to think about themselves more, questions over the Manager, World Cup, contracts etc all add to the feeling I have this could be a pivotal Summer.
I never thought Vardy would leave but now I'm not so sure, if he ( and Maguire ) do well in the World Cup ( as if England will ) it could be his last chance for a move up rather than down.
Just my thoughts but I wondered what others thought outside of the obvious players we'd all expect to go if any other Club will stump up enough cash.

Despite telling Nevs mate he'd only leave for Barca or Real Madrid in other areas Mahrez has let it be known he wants to go to Arsenal.
With the news that the new man there will only have £50 million to spend that's almost certainly another door closed for him.
Back to anyone who'll take him and pay for him for his Agent then!

If I was Mahrez, I'd be set on going to a team in the Champions League. Arsenal wouldn't cut it right now.
